rxtoy Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 i am so jealous right now, love 2 door 131's, probably my favourite euro. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Off the chisel cunt, mean Need more of these on here, well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abarth Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 131's are mean! If I was to ever get another oldschool fiat it would be the 131 R. Does the cert cover the 16V head too? May as well make it brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Plans are to get it goin again as soon as I can, this requies: finish the work on the front end and get it painted re-wire front of the car reassemble the car (as much as required) finish building the turbo engine I have been working on, except I'll bolt the supercharger on it initially as this will be easier/cheaper/quicker to get sorted get cert/homologation/authority card sorted then go do some trackdays/hillclimbs more or less as it was. Once I have it going I can think about other stuff such as putting a huge snail on it, or installing trick suspension etc. FYI the previous setup was Lancia Volumex engine 132 diff w/disc brakes uno turbo front brake calipers and OMP cross drilled discs lowered heavy duty suspension (dont know what springs and shocks they actually are) 15x7 performance superlites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blair Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Nice........... Had one of them years ago. Was one of those with the factory boxy flared guards etc. Was way to young to realize what it was and stuff. So we paddock bashed/river bed rolled it.

treggo Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Are the rear wheels 8" wide? Do they have much more dish than the 7''s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 it gets to a point where you cant go any further inwards, so an 8 inch would be close to an inch wider on the outside I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Are the rear wheels 8" wide?Do they have much more dish than the 7''s? Nah they are 15x7's all around, with I think +12 offset. 15x8 performance wheels superlites would have -4 offset, so another 16mm dish.

Abarth Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thats a nice collection of engine bits you have there. I am building an 8v as well but N/A. Are you going to run standard 84mm turbo/supercharge pistons? Are you going to re bore the block? For my engine I have the 84mm 105tc pistons and after reading a lot on the Guy Croft forum I was thinking blow by might become a problem. Thoughts?

FIAT Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 As long as the piston bore clearence is good there should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-e Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 this is mean. sort your shit out, pull all that sound deadening out. you've got some sweet crap lying around for it also. cant be fucked working out what the fuck a volumex is? supa charga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 yeah Volumex = supercharger/supercharged engine/supercharged variant of the Lancia Beta called the Beta Volumex, or just VX volumex engine http://www.lancia-beta.de/motor/volumex03.gif Beta VX coupe, and the weird looking wagon version, Beta HPE (High Performance Estate) The pistons I'm using are are new old stock volumex ones, standard 84mm bore, the block is pretty good so will be ok with just a hone and stay at standard bore. as long as piston to bore clearance is < about 4-5thou and you have the correct ring gaps it should be ok. 105TC pistons in a 2L is pretty high compression 11.5:1 or something, you will want to do a dry build probably, and definitely if you use big cams.
