Hi Charles - this is good to hear - exactly what I'm planning with my wiring. What is the throttle response like? Is there any lag between opening the throttle wide and the engine response? This was one of the issues I noticed with Megasquirt - a lag between the two which was especially annoying on the track (I think it could have been resolved with more tuning though). My MS unit used only MAP input, not TPS. I'm hoping that a combination of MAP and TPS inputs in the Gotech install will result in a crisp response.cchan wrote: The Alfa does run MAP and TPS at the same time. We have a vacuum hose that runs to the Gotech ECU for the MAP sensor. Phil did convert the old Bosch TPS and made a custom one off that is a potentiometer TPS that hooks up to the Gotech ECU as well. Phil said that this tells the ECU the position of the throttle flap from closed to WOT. Phil said that he needed to do this to get the engine to idle better and perform correctly. It is not from a Porsche 944 Turbo but a 5 series BMW. We also confirmed that the Gotech setting is set for TPS and MAP at the same time.
Hi:cchan wrote: Also, Michael, you sent me an email on a fix for the speedo which was different than the Forum shows (Ie: Milano sender & 86 GTV6 new speedo with Milano guts). Can you please PM me this or post it. We are deciding what is the best approach to this. Once I have the Tach & Speedo online I will be more comfortable driving.
The standard RSR shocks are non-adjustable. You can adjust ride height with the adjusters at the rear, but that will not do much for comfort. At the front you can also use the adjusters to some extent, but keep in mind that up front you want a setting where the torsion bars and the RSR springs work together. Your only real way of tuning comfort is to try different spring rates for the RSR springs. Group2 should have different spring rates in stock. My guess is that you have 60 and 115kg.cchan wrote:Any advise on the tuning of the RS suspension?
Hi Jess, I have 100Kg/70kg spring rate according to my build sheet. Is this is softest setting for spring rate? I think I'll wait to see how JJ's and your Milano race cars go before I decide if I want to build a race GTV6 for track fun. Both your Milano's look fantastic and I hope to see your project done soon.ar4me wrote:The standard RSR shocks are non-adjustable.

Of course, you can also get adjustable RSR shocks, or the full RSR race setup which has true coil-overs at the rear and adjustable shocks. Though, probably over-kill for a street car.

Hi Michael, I have the stock torsion bars up front.Michael wrote:Also, check that you have the stock torsion bars up front. If you have Shankle bars in addition to the RS suspension, you would have very stiff suspension (as I have)
I tried to put on my old campo 15" since they have new tires, etc but they will not fit over the girodisk brakes but I think this is a very good suggestion even though it will make the Alfa look less aggressive.Zamani wrote:Tires also can make a big difference. If this is a street car, then 16" wheels with 50 series tires will greatly improve ride quality. I suggest the Kumho SPT in 205/50/16 size. Then take the 17" wheels and mount race tires for the occasional track days (non-competitive track events that is).
Can you please explain alittle more about changing to 30 and 80 front? What would I be changing?kevin wrote:With your low profile 17''it is pretty rough on bad roads. I have same set up on my gtv (road) 50 rear 115 front. its great on freeways and tracks.. I took the anti roll off front when i am not at track days. Play with settings ie change to 30 and 80 front. or leave 50 rear and 115 and put standard anti roll front on. Must experiment to what suits. The 17'' amplify your feedback.
We have 30mm front roll bar set up currently. Now that we have learned a lot more going through this rebuild, I think that we have selected more of a track suspension set up rather than a street set up. The Alfa had the alignment done already with the camber set as well. Given the limited amount of time we have actually driven the Alfa, I think we will need to drive a lot more and then figure out the pro's and con's of this suspension set up.mjr wrote:what about the front roll bar? the recommended with RSR coil overs on front is the 30mm for the V6, though personally, I think it makes the ride too harsh for street use, in hind sight i wish I had gone for the 28mm instead..
Thanks for that piece of information. I'll look for some 86 GTV6 wheels. Besides being able to fit over the gyrodisks. Do they look the same as a 1982 wheel?Greg Gordon wrote:1981-1985 GTV6 wheels will not fit over the Gyrodisks. However 1986 GTV6 and all Milano 15" wheels will.
