Popular Post Drummer888 Posted September 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hey guys, My project is a 1985 Lancia Delta HF Turbo. Purchased about 3 years ago as a stock-standard 130 flywheel hp front wheel drive carb turbo HF, i proceeded over the first year to rollcage it, have the suspension built, and upgrade the brakes. I then spent a year hillclimbing/street sprint/circuit racing it - then decided to opt for more power. Its now about 80% complete with a Fiat Croma 2 litre 8 valve injected turbo, same engine effectively as the Integrale but without balance shafts (the Group A cars never ran balance shafts in the block). Turbo is T28 from GTIR, bigger cams from N/A engine, bigger throttle body and manifold, front mount intercooler, 440cc evo injectors, Group A chip, Delta GTie gearbox, ARP rodbolts with new bearings, gated sump, HKS blow off valve, carbon-kevlar custom clutch with shot-peened lighter flywheel. Im hoping for roughly 200 - 220 wheel hp @ 950 - 980kgs when i turn the key. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummer888 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 And last but not least, a couple of pics at Pukekohe with the 1.6 carb engine (which i had ported and polished, tweaked the boost, modified the carb, and was running 140hp @ the front treads) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drummer888 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2019 Haven't been on here in ages. Plenty has changed. Ended up building a forged engine, new turbo, link ECU, going to 15X8's with flares, 225 rubber, etc etc. Current tune is 240hp @ the hubs on 17psi boost, intending to do some cam timing adjustments and retune in the new year with a much higher redline and a bit more boost. A quick shakedown at Taupo first time out qualified mid pack with so many areas to. Improve, and was only running at about 70% race pace. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummer888 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer888 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 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. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drummer888 Posted May 10, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2020 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. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Drummer888 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 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. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer888 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Bit of a laugh, but it sounds nice under boost :) https://youtu.be/amiVKZKD-pQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
