Max, sorry but I dont understand the reference to the math, power to weight means more than total HP, I tend to stay away from dicussions of performance as in the past my comparing the perfomance of a ts 105 as being equal to or better than some newer cars such as WRX's has been scoffed at. I am not questioning your figures or claims, and I have no trouble beleiving them. If you thought I was questioning your numbers you misunderstood.
There are not a lot of people interested in paying for the extra expense of a boosted TS, and it seems odd to me that this shopping list and A-Z instructions would be of more interest than the same info which is common to all TS conversions regardless of ignition or induction choices, What does it really cost to put a long block together? New pistons and liners? I think a shopping list and A-Z instructions for this basic long block would be of more interest.
The whole subject of bringing the brakes, chassis, and driveshaft up to snuff, should also be of more interest than a cost no object motor. Front brake conversion, loose the 4.56 rear, replace all drivetrain and rear axle bushings, and replace drivshaft joints with new or upgraded units, like the metal replacement for the front flex joint now for sale, which I have yet to use, but will. I recommend that any builder/owner or buyer plan ahead on putting the car up on jack stands, and R & R from the frt suspension thru the rear, and as I have stated in other posts, TS conversions are expensive, and bringing the rest of the car up to snuff is part of the cost.
If you detected some sarcasim in my comments about TS performance, it was meant for that group that has in the past scoffed at my claims and now wants details on how to achive that performance. I only work for myself and a few other people, I have all the work I need, sales are thru a newsletter, and I do not appreciate my contact info being given out without regards to my request that this info not be given out, I have turned down many TS related and UNSOLICITED requests since someone went fishing. I don't have time.
I accept, and made it clear in the past, that Vendor A can pick and choose customers when demand exceeds supply, but that potential buyers should know about the delay. well demand still does exceed supply for some parts and work, I choose not to advertise. I don't like being contacted by people who won't take a polite no for an answer, I don't like receiving offers south of absurd for truck loads of NOS parts by Alfa owners who maintain they are doing me a favor helping me get rid of this stuff in short order. I have enough time to disposs of this stuff, I just don't have time to do anything for people whose business I did not solict. And I was not willing to wait as each day more people got my info and another engine builder got closer, item by item, to outright asking for info that he already knew he wasn't going to get. I would not have entered this dicussion, had someone put so much effort into forcing it. So here goes.
for the owner builder that needs info on supercharged TS motors with state of the art engine mods and the chassis and brake and drivetrain upgrade, check the BB for all but the Supercharging, check the World Wide Web, for that info, somwhere somebody is doing or has done a project using the same aftermarket unit combos, you are thinking of, check the VW and BMW SC sites for the hi-tech DIY conversions, it is all adaptable to Alfa TS, and check Msierts Spider for info on TB injection and distriburtorless ignition. Just add 4 more coil units and make the required changes.
for this system, Buy a New MB SLK supercharger and entire system upstream of supercharger $?, do not buy used, learn everything about this system you can, MB tech info is not cheap, most ebay software programs will not load. buy entire ignition and fuel injection and ecu $? learn everything about this you can. do the head work, balance everything in the motor, lighten NOTHING! tune for a broad power band rather than top HP, which means you just spent a bundle of cash on a motor that doesn't make ultimate HP, then you have to spend $3-4000 to bring the car up to snuff. Notice the question marks, $10-15000 total to do the car, if you do the work yourself. of course you own and can use, a milling machine, lathe, and various welders, so brackets and custom intake and exhaust units are no problem. plus all the regular shop tools, and you have a good understanding of all the mechanical and electrical components you will be working with. And keep in mind that the kit car industry can provide you with among other things, custom width ford 8.8' rear axles, choice of ratio and posi-traction. for less than most suppliers will sell you an Auto spider rear axle. My advice, buy a 308
As far as buying a motor, from basic black long block on up, sorry NO, not taking orders. When this thread was started, so was the thread $6000 engine rebuild, not sure what is with the motor in question. but the general observations and opinions being expressed, well, The buyer doesn't want to pay the asking price, and I don't want to provide the buyer with a warranty, nobody builds a fool proof motor. why does this community want the advice of a group they think so little of?
In the past I have been keeping my post to subjects like the Schely valve spring compressor thread. I have 2 TS heads in right now, 1 75 and 1 155, was taking photos of both, clearly showing the differences, some of which have not been discussed. I would like to be involved only in those kinds of threads. This thread was, by virtue of the motives for it being posted, B S.! I will add whatever is asked to the TS dicussion for the benefit of the builder/owner, something this thread was never about. I will not give an A-Z list to another builder. I resent the methods and actions this builder used.
I don't know why you assumed that the math issue was a criticism of your post, and I do not like the assumption that I build drag racers, all power and no stopping and handling improvements. But I doubt you will reconsider any of your positions. Including your opinion of the other builder involved in this post.
