WOW! That's a fast little bugger! Very Impressive.

[m.jansen]

yes it sure is
with only 900 kilo, its 147 hp will do the job..

hey mate, im starting to do some performace mods on my 85' 33 4wd wagon, running the 1500 carb boxer, i.ve noticed that its getting starved of fuel at higher revs, carbies are gettin re built, i just wanted to know what fuel pump you're using....

Cheers.

I drove a 1.7 ie, crazy torque steer! How do you deal with it at 147hp?

[m.jansen]

@ blacknight: I,m using a Pierburg universal feulpump for my
champagne coloured 33 (170hp)
For my red 33 (147hp) its a Facet feulpump.

@ oz3litre and GTVnut: If you look at the acceleration video
(the first one) you can see that with 147 hp the torque steering
is not that bad, only on a very wet road things get ugly
I,m not sure how my 170hp 33 is going to be
(did only one test drive) but i will find out soon

worked a bit on my car last monday
like testing oilpressure, it had +4 bar pressure with a cold engine @1500rpm
and +3 bar with warm engine also @1500rpm


and mounted 15" momo rims:


here are some pictures of the oils and coolant that i used:





i also have some detail pictures of some parts:

Most of the torque steer problems in the boxer Alfas seem to be due to the fact that the rear springs are too soft, resulting in way too much 'squat' under acceleration.

One racer I spoke to said his torque steer disappeared when he fitted much stiffer rear springs.

M Janson. What are the other Mods, I am getting the tail end of a 1.7 8v rebuild for hillclimb use, 16v are like hens teeth in Western Australia.

[m.jansen]

so if i,m right your question is what changes are made to my 16v engine?
(sorry my english is not that good )
