Hi,
Dazz here, long time enthusiast, recent to own.

Based on the north coast of tassie (any other taswegan alfisti out there?) a prowd custodian of a 2l gtv,

Looking to tidy up, put on special interest, and manufacture a beninca style blow through turbo system and simple water methanol jet to spray at around 6lb to keep things together (hopefully)

Looking forward to learning and possibly meeting a few like minded enthusiasts as the project continues

Cheers Barry,

Couple photos now that my first post has been approved 👍







I'm honestly a bit spun out at just how straight and rust free it is, disbelief made me go over with a fine tooth comb to find a patch of surface rust about the size of a 5c coin under the boot lid, and a couple of decent stone chips, if it was a Holden or ford it woulda been snapped up years ago, gotta love something a tad left field of the usual car crew

Welcome Dazz. Always happy to see another transaxle on the loose.

For your forced induction you may care to consider converting your induction set up to injection as opposed to using carburetors. Much better approach long term and more flexible with respect to fuel revisions and tuning if you need them down the track. Suggest that you PM a forum member, alfagtv152 who may have some specific advice for you.

Best wishes on your project.

Or start a thread on the topic, there's a few of us here with knowledge and/or interest in forced induction/EFI conversions.

And that's a nice coupe you've got there! I haven't seen one looking that clean and straight in a while.
Is that a later model hatch?
