    Yep im pretty sure you're right. I'm not too worried too much about response, its making huge torque very quickly. I think getting traction is more likely to be an issue for the moment. Plenty to look at, bigger inlet cam, bigger turbo, bigger exhaust, and better valve springs. At 20psi its all good, at 21 the valve springs tend to get a bit floaty.

    I did ask if i could hook up antilag .... i was talked out of it

    I might be biased here, but this has got to be one of the nicest idles ive heard ....

    So, i ran out of time and money, car sat for 2 years, ended up calling in a mate. Sincerely want to thank Glenn @ The Lab, and Adrian from Tuning & Performance for persevering ....... Whats changed? - Ethanol ate my fuel system. Now it has a walbro 275 fuel pump and 750cc injectors. The new exhaust cam has dropped air intake temperatures to a much much safer level. The turbo is now probably too small, and if you give it more, the valve springs are getting floaty. How does it go? - on Mobil 98, 280 hub hp (corrected, 300 engine hp depending on how you want to see it, the tuner was bouncing through different correction factors with different numbers, 315 and 330hp came up). Long story short, the non bullshit part, 210kw & 415Nm @ the hubs from a 35 year old engine and turbo setup. So the cool part is this engine was 155hp & 235Nm out of the box.

    4BNGR in the hole. Oh and i got black plates because this would have been one of the last black plate cars ever built (M rego 1986) Still lots to do .. new oil cooler & lines to fit. New turbo oil feed line to make. New radiator mounts to make (new ally radiator to fit). Need to make a radiator fan shroud. Never ending lists.

    Did a mischief, ran a bearing. Diagnosis, old fuel, detonation. New changes: Cams: - Exhaust: 110.0 BTDC, peak cam lift 0.402", duration 296 deg Inlet: 110.0 ATDC peak cam lift 0.394", duration 239 deg (stock Delta Gtie/130TC Abarth) New injectors are 650cc Siemens 60lb New Diff is Quaife ATB QDH2K-27 Abarth multi-dowelled cam gears King race bearings Grade 12.9 capscrew headbolts (instead of stretchbolts) Cometic MLS head gasket ARP rod bolts Candy red paint Will need a full retune, so should change the characteristics entirely.

    Did i ever reply to this? really sorry about that if i didnt. Link Atom G4+ with Turbosmart electronic boost control. It's not actually hard to get off the start line at all, its just that the torque curve came in really really low. Long story short, i actually did a mischief and ran a bearing, so have rebuilt the motor with new cams which will let it breath alot more for alot longer, and should increase where the torque comes in, and the RPM. Now has the Quaife LSD fitted too.

    @Abarth - still haven't got there yet haha ! @denvertc yeah the 1.6 HF Turbo Injected waterpump bolts to the 2L block no prob. I think its 154C4 but don't quote me because i can't remember. I didn't use any integrale parts in mine at all for the conversion. The N/A engine isn't the same - the turbo has a bigger oil pump, oil squirters, low compression pistons etc. I did fit Integrale 8V forged pistons to the Croma block, but yep, no balance shafts i've heard of guys just removing the balance shafts from the 'grale block and making blanks for them - could you do that?

    @Roman - its running a Link Atom G4+ with a turbosmart electronic boost solenoid, believe it or not its actually got a 3D controlled boost map on it at the moment which is pretty trick. I think its probably just the input from the driver No idea on times @ taupo in clear traffic as i never really got a good run. All i know is that i was running mid-pack for times in the Trofeo group. I'm hoping to get back down before the end of the year for another run. @Abarth - i bought it direct from Demon Tweaks. It was $1200 NZD inc freight for the Quaife, but then i got hammered by NZ Customs for another $550 on arrival. It looks like there is a few options for LSD's for the fiat gearbox's but the Quaife was best value for money. KAAZ i think do one, as do Wavetrac, and then Bacci Romani do a plate type, then there is Phil @ Bits Of Italy (BOI) in australia who can do a phantom grip style one with springs and plates which is significantly cheaper.

    Bit of a laugh, but it sounds nice under boost :) https://youtu.be/amiVKZKD-pQ

    Got her out on Sunday for a quick Autocross. Absolutely hopeless to be fair, cones very tight together meant having to drive it off boost as on boost it would pull away from the cones and sledge, and then when the course opened, it was 1st/2nd/3rd gear wheelspin and then hard on brakes to get around the next cone. A hell of a lot of fun though. Since the last post, the low volume cert was completed, authority card complete, motorsport license renewed, WOF & Reg updated, so fully road legal now. Also i now have sitting at home a Quaife limited slip diff, and Winmax race pads front and rear to go in.
  14. Drummer888
    Race tracks closed, however, front camber plates now giving me -3 deg negative camber, a couple of cosmetic additions with rear diffuser and rear window vents, oh and now with log book and LVVTA cert, fresh wof and reg.

    I forgot to mention, that 240 hub HP comes with 410Nm of torque, so learning to drive the car lower in the RPM and on the torque curve is quite a different feeling. It pulls incredibly hard at 2500RPM and spins the wheels in a big way if you give it too much too soon. An LSD is on the shopping list.
  16. Drummer888
    A quick in-car. Pulling to about 5000rpm on 3/4 throttle. Had some clutch adjustment issues hence a big tank slap mid-corner, and was playing around with the other cars, letting them go past so i could learn the track, just getting used to things (don't take the video too seriously). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4i_n5OIysY
