  1. alfa lover from Chile!

    Welcome here . White GTV TB with sunroof, that is rare. I'm not a fan of black wheels, but that is only personal opinion . Have you think about white wheels, with so much gravel around you it will look like rally car . What are these wheels and where is your numberplate?
  2. Spider Sportivo

  3. Hello guys im new on the forum from alfaowners

  4. My guilty pleasure...

    309hp from TD04 ! I don't think that TD04 turbo is used on any package which gave 309 hp. Evoman do you feel that this car needs more power on the front wheels ? Wheelspin on 3rd, was the road slippery?
  5. Me presento

    This Coupe is 20V turbo, right?
  6. Welcome to the forum and happy 916 ownership . Great cars you have , greetings . Alfa Romeo RZ . Please show them to us.

    Christmas is overdue to you . What are these springs? I do nоt remember to have seen this brand before . Are they lowering?
  9. Coventry Green V6

    Hi. From what I see your end muffler is changed, right? What muffler did you put and do you change something else on the exhaust? Good luck with the car .
  10. Evoman's GTV 3.0 V6 24v ( 2001 )

    EvoMan, these seats looks good and very sporty. Will be interesting how they look in the car. I have speak for this Sparco Milano with Fabian probably more than half a year ago. But right now I can't afford to make such purchase. I love this model and will put one picture on here , sorry EvoMan . A little off topic, but where is Fabian. He even don't make advert for them on here (and don't tell me that they are finally for sale).
  11. Turbo Brutale

    Now I read for this event from the link you post. Two things caught my eye. First is that the participants are limited to 120 cars. The second is that the tax is 2800E for one car with 2 drivers and that is maybe without VAT! The cars on the photos are very serious.
  12. Villanis GTV 3.0 V6 24V Red Style

    The successor of GTV . With what engine is the Brera? Is this your everyday car?
  13. Greeting from Apeldoorn / Netherlands

    Welcome to the forum maarten916 . Good luck with the plans about the car.
  14. Turbo Brutale

    Just to make some corrections. Alfaduden, you mean mechanical boost gauge. Your boost gauge is from good brand (VDO) and should be as good as any good boost gauge . And from what I have read mechanical boost gauge have better response than electrical. Damgreg, do you mean manual boost controller when write mechanical solenoid. The boost solenoids are only electrical. Pierburg is solenoid.
  15. Turbo Brutale

    I have used wrong word and probably it have confused you. My question is mechanical or electrical boost gauge.
  16. Old is cool..V6 TB in Turkey.

    TD05 from 164 V6 TB? At what pressure the turbo is running, especially at the high rpm? Anil, wait for answer to bellow question . My opinion about gauges is - boost, oil pressure, AFR. The more is better, but where to put them will be a problem and too much additional gauges is not cool on street car in my opinion.
  17. Turbo Brutale

    Alfaduden, is this mechanical or electrical boost gauge? In my opinion it is strange ECU to turn off safety features on any condition.
  18. Gtv Cup 2.0 TS Rosso Alfa nr.038

    Good goal for Nürburgring. You maybe have this idea from Top Gear -> link (push the button with 5 in the right of the video screen for segment 5).
  19. Turbo Brutale

    So you keep the manual boost controller? And how is the car now compared to ECU controlled boost by solenoid? Thanks for the answer, about solenoid states GTV-TB . But the bellow thing is very strange to me. I have one idea - to electrically disconnect the solenoid after my turbo upgrade and in this way to drive with pressure by wastegate spring to the moment of custom ECU setting. But maybe I will just drive slowly without full throttle. P.S. Nice boost gauge stand Alfaduden . Where you think to mount the gauge and what brand is it?
  20. Evoman's GTV 3.0 V6 24v ( 2001 )

    Greetings for the new car . Looks like very good example on very low km. I think that you have to start new topic about it and the title of this topic to go back to old name. After all this is other car.
  21. Should probably introduce myself

    Welcome TdM . Looks like you have very good car with some nice features . Waiting for pictures. 10 years ownership is serious these days.
  22. Hi there from Greece

    Welcome to the forum tonionio . What Mito do you have and what 916 do you want? I see that you have Spider right now, right? Good luck with the sell and buy after that .
  23. GTV CUP NO 131 (Rhd UK spec)

    Waiting for the impression with Koni STR.T dampers . I think that STR.T is not a new model by Koni. The prices are around half of Koni Sport. Quoted from Koni website: "KONI STR.T is best described as semi-sporty: improving the road handling to a considerably sportier level than standard (also suitable for lowering), with an overall comfortable feel."
  24. Turbo Brutale

    Personally I don't like your approach for resolving the problem - installing of manual boost controller, because you have low boost . I think overboost is activated, when you push the pedal to the metal from "middle rpm". My advice is to go back to original setup and try to find the reason for the problem. From your clips I see that you can not reach higher than 0.9 bar on the gauge, but I can not feel and hear how the car behave at that "max" boost. Have you drive the car recently, before that problem? Does the car chokes, when running at that "max" boost? If the car is running fine only the boost was much lower I will try to find some boost leak. Check the piping after the turbo. Check boost bypass valve for cracking of rubber membrane. Check boost solenoid for changing its state, when supply it with 12V. And you can see to which exit the source pressure goes, when energized and not. Does anyone know what is off state of stock boost solenoid - opened to intake before turbo (normally opened) or to wastegate (normally closed)? You can have low boost also by wastegate not functioning properly - not moving freely, can not close completely.
  25. V6 TB injectors

    TB and TS use the same injectors I think - 0 280 150 702, so this also can be option. But you will need more than one pair. P.S. It is very strange to me that you have upgraded injectors without any performance upgrade and remap after change. And also that you don't have anymore stock injectors.
