Drummer888 64 Report post 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. 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drummer888 64 Report post Posted December 15 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. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drummer888 64 Report post Posted Monday at 19:17 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drummer888 64 Report post Posted Monday at 19:20 I forgot to mention, that 240 wheel 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. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
