It's time to introduce my vehicle. It is a 1.6 16v from 1998god. My parents were the first owners. After the lighter side impact (a little scratched and indented door latch broken) began slowly to work. First I put abarth bumper, hood processed as the F50, Kyalami DOTZ 17" rims, exhaust on each side with double pipes of 2 inches for turbo processing. After what was done on dyno mapping reading on wideband in one moment were bed and motor blew. Fuel filter blocked. Engine was rebuild once again and mapped on 0.9bar. The car was going well but still insufficient. lifted pressure on 1.4 and the problem occurred. clutch is slid several times and pressure is lowered back to 0.9 but it was too late. He barely held 0.6 bar and wrecked the gearbox a few weeks later. Then we were offered the opportunity to buy Alfa 155 Q4 of 1992 in very bad condition. The engine was about to end, sheet metal completely rotten from below and not cost effective for the restoration and so it began a new modification. The engine is fully furnished, extracted a balance shaft, the head was processed, changed all the wheel bearings, repaired the bridge last bridge .... but half a year through the turbo is broken, propshaft was bad so I tried to repair it, but couldn't find new propshaft rubber with bearing so I improvised and it was ok but because instead of rubber I put aluminum plate and the noise of gearbox was trasfered in cabin. A month ago I finaly find used propshaft and repared it and made myself custom rubber and now is ok. On car is FMIC bar&plate full alu 27x7x4inch with 3"in/out with 2.5" piping, external wastegate 50mm, T3/T4 turbo, full stainless steel 3" exhaust pipes with bed 2"muffler, lancia kappa intake manifold, malpasi FPR and blow off,fully lightweight flywheel, standard marea hood bonnet with closed holes for window washers...
I have to make all fmic pipes from stainless steel (now are from aluminized steel/standard Q4 rubber pipe), make two custom 3" mufflers because it will be every day car,air condition pipes to fit on marea,put in car 6 2"gauges,innovate SSI-4 and LC1 wideband, 4 ignition coils... I'll keep You in touch
Pictures will me online this afternoon but here are two pics from the begining of Q4 transformation:
