Hi Brad,

Give me a call on 0439396679 some time. I am turbo charging my Alfetta GT, and can give you plenty of advice. I've turbo'd other things also, so it wont be (all) bad advice ;-).

I also have a set of TS rods and acid dipped pistons. That will sort out your compression ratio. If you are pulling down your engine, you may wisht o consider a few other thigns while you are there. ...which brings me to your budget. If your budget is very low, I would suggest you dont pull down the motor. Instead, spent your money on a good intercooler and like Andrew said, run a stock motor.

By the way, 1.8ltr motors are more resistant to bigger hp due to the thicker liners....so you can run more boost on them....then again, it really depends what hp you are chasing...back to the dirsty word 'budget'.

You can check out what I have been up to at: http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/engine-conversions/78130-8v-2l-twin-charged-my-little-project.html

I also have a GT3 garret turbo that came off an autodelta car, and was overhauled by Garret. May be usefull to your build.

cheers
Mike

Hey mike whats the inlet manifold off in your pics on alfabb.

Storm_X · October 11, 2009, 11:18:58 AM

Thmpar is inlet manifold is off a holden camira.

i was just planing to pull the motor down reseal and replace all bearings etc just a nice clean up with the TS rods.

i sold my 1.8 that was sitting around for $50 a few months ago. im going to have to look for another one again in the future.

does anyone know of anyone else running a blow through set up that they use as a daily?

BradGTV · October 11, 2009, 02:41:29 PM

hey storm is that ur guiletta at u-pull-it?
cause it has a 1.8,
or u can tri city dismatlers they have about 3 1.8s to choose form but they charge a lot.

Storm_X · October 11, 2009, 03:31:07 PM

was it a dark blue one with dark as tited windows?? if so yea that was mine. the motor in that car started to lose comp i reckon it used to take abit to get it started but it was strong as and went pretty hard. i had to get rid of the car as i dont have space to store anything or i would have kept it as a burnout/drift car or something.

na citys are a rip i wouldnt even go there.

my m8 has a giulietta that has 2.0gtv running gear in it that he said i can take for free but the motor is Seized up.

BradGTV · October 11, 2009, 05:38:16 PM

yer the car was dark blue,
yer city dismantlers are a rip, one day they wanted $500 for a gtv6 bonnet the next they want $650

and $1500 for a motor hahaha.
so storm what alfas do still have?

Storm_X · October 11, 2009, 06:28:28 PM

ok so back on topic,
now for igntion timing, http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=KC5442&CATID=25&form=CAT&SUBCATID=347 has been suggested on the bb by duk, once bought how is it installed? and how is it tuned?

i have been reading various other car forums about blow thru carbies,
now there is a lot of diffrent views on them, some say u can run them standard to 9psi (i dont believe this) but is it true?
and that if you put a kit such as this http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products_details.asp?PartNo=DHLAturbokit&CategoryID=1&PartsectionID=1 it will also be ok?

but then dellortos such as the autodelta have all diffrent jets, tubes ect..
so what do u guys think or know will work?

copy the autodelta carbies? put the conversion kit on? or?

cheers, brad

scuzzyGTV · October 12, 2009, 08:38:08 AM

hey brad

not sure if you've been down this path, but you could send dellorto an email asking about pressures and jets etc. if they are any good they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

BradGTV · October 12, 2009, 04:52:58 PM

hi scuzzygtv, yer i have just sent of an email regarding the kits, but they replied saying the kits are missing some peices that are now out of manifaction

im not sure with the jay car thing either but u buy the power fc hand held thing and u plug it in and u can change the curve ETC ETC.

the thing i want to know is will a map sensor plug into it and can i program it to change the timing as the boost gets higher???

autodelata and stock carbs are pretty close specs aint they ?

BradGTV · October 12, 2009, 06:21:29 PM

they pretty close. take then to EFI the little work shop next to citys. they are carbie and EFI experts.

not cheap tho. for a non turbo rebuild kit and they recon the carbies like $220 each. i asked how much just to tune thay said $60 bux i was like wtf? just tue turn a few screws.

but yea im no expert on the carbies
