Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
Had to Re-do the wiring harness as there was a miss-fire coming from somewhere, Still no idea what the issue was as everything looked ok but all connectors were checked etc etc and its running sweet now.

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
Momentum once again has had to slow down, sadly im going away for a while to go get myself actually qualified to TIG weld. Its a necessary evil though and will be worth while in the long run.petrolhead wrote:Great News Aaron

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
did you use a lightened flywheel? that often helps improve pick up i'm told... No mate, Original 12v flywheel. The ITB's Have clearly had something to do with the pick up here as its the main thing to change from standard. Also i dont have a power steering pump or A/C which i guess would reduce it ...

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
I was quite shocked, at the pick up. Quite keen to get on and finish the rest of the exhaust now. Good to know its running well on all cylinders and my wiring has workedKevJTD wrote:love the instant pick up mate, sounds lovely

Absolutely right Shrew! Nothing better (until something falls off and you have nobody to blame :lol: Been a busy time for me lately with many many things in the making, but i found time to get down the workshop and finish the first manifold. Very happy with how it turned out, just need to mirror the...

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
Could you have started off with the tubular manifolds from the 164 qv or phase 1 GTV's? They're pretty short but compact and simple, and plenty of folk still use them even in track/race cars so they can't be too restrictive even for tuned motors, so although not perfect (as if there was such a thin...

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
You suspected my concerns precisely mate :) Are you coming upwards firstly to achieve a certain primary length you have in mind? Partly that, but also there isnt much room down low and the pipework is quite a bit larger in diameter than the original 12v. I had a few other designs mocked up, all of ...

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
Cheers Shrew, Not sure at the moment, was toying with the idea of making a "road use" enclosure for them with direct air feed from the front. This seems the best idea given that the raised manifolds are going to increase the ambient temp under the bonnet (even though they'll be wrapped) Then have a ...

Re: Alfa 75 V6 24v Project
Its been a while :shock: Mainly because the guy who was meant to be building my exhaust decided he was just going to cock me about to the point where i collected the car from him and demanded a refund. :evil: So rather than going through the hassle of finding someone else to do it ive decided to go ...

Re: GTV6. Prop-shaft rebalance
Old post I know but if anyone is struggling to find someone reliable to balance a prop I used this company in Bristol to balance my 75's prop
http://www.prop-shaft.com
Great service and when I popped in there was 3 gtv6 props on the shelf which had been balanced so they are very familiar with them.
