I think you're on to it there in terms of the dry weight thing - no liquids (even the vital ones) or other "incedentals" makes for an unusually light car. Back in the day, car manufacturers tended towards under- or over-exaggeration, depending on what looked best, though I'm sure that's not the case now-a-days...

And things are often heavier than you think. My 164 weighed 2140kg when on a weighbridge the other day. Now it was towing a trailer full of rusty and broken sud parts, but that was still quite chunky.

My charger

instead of a mb compressor M45 you can use the one of a Mini Cooper S M40
I already made a manifold

cheers

Is the manifold from a carb?
Does the alternator still fit? (tipped over to the cars left).
Did you make the crankpulley yourself?

Here's my solution, using a 164 ts servo pulley (outside the original) and a m45 from a Merc

I have an SC14 supercharger and 8v injection gear including inlet manifold if anyone is interested in the stuff; I don't think i'll be using it after all. $400 plus postage.

Yes i made it myself, from a engine with single carb, and i welded 2 injection manifolds on it aswel

The pulley is from a Fiat Ducato 2.5 or 2.8 Diesel, the generator will be adjusted also and fitr on it's original place

Cheers

Sud#1, that manifold is very impressive. It doesn't look like you will be able to use an intercooler so I would probably add water injection. It looks like you are set up for about 11psi, but I am not sure because I am guessing at the pulley ratios and engine displacement.

jol, I like your setup to. I am partial to the remote mount systems because they are easy to intercool. It looks like you plan to have some serious boost, but I can't see how you are going to get it too the throttle. Obviously you have a plan for that!

jol, that remote supercharger mount set up is very creative! Having to refabricate the whole intake manifold is probably the number one reason why many have failed at supercharging the Alfa boxer engine. Will you be installing a tensioner of some sort?

Hey it was your verde's that started it The intake is flipped in the picture, I'll fab some tubes pointing straight forward and into an air/air intercooler (moving down the radiator to make it clear). Or making an air/water setup where the AFM originally sits (using megasquirt). Check the position here:

Just above the camgear is another spacer to mount another cambelt tensioner, just as the original one in the picture.

Hi Greg,
It is still possible to use a intercooler of a Nissan Terrano 2.7TD (even bigger then the mini). Will mount this on the oil filter side and make a smal scoop on the bonnet. But i have no picture's for that yet already mounted in the car.
The car needs a lot of attention i.e. rust 1.5ti 1979

What mods did you have to do to a 33 to make it a permanent 4? :|

This thread is making me a little hot.
