This GTV 916 is a beast.. Approx 500WHP! It is a Norwegian that have built it.

 

And by the way, mine is soon to be finish rebuilt! Hopefully during this week!

[Paso 239]

Huge fun!

Can you give us a little more info about engine repair - what was broken, what repair will include.

Good luck with the car  .

P.S. I'm also interested on that GTV on the video. Can you give some more info, probably in another topic.

[Alfaduden 226]

I can give you a detailed feedback on the rebuild as soon as I pick up the car. That should be after this weekend.

 

As a teaser i have attached these photos:

  How is the crankshaft? 

From some time I think to check and probably replace main and rod bearings at next oil change, just safety precaution  .

[Alfaduden 226]

Crankshaft is destroyed... Totally broken

A polished and barely used one is replaced...

[Alfaduden 226]

... GTV is still not finished, but despite all waiting I have found some joy in my latest Alfa..

 

2013 Giulietta:

 

 

 

 

 

I need to sort out witch one to keep...

[Paso 239]

Beautiful car but not so cool as GTV!

[kunev 131]

The GTV is TB, your girlfriend/wife had new Mito TB (if I remember correctly) and is it that Giulietta again TB  (or this is TBi). Interesting color. In my opinion you have to keep the car which make you happiest  and you like the most  .

How you compare the three alfas around you?

P.S. How you decide to buy this model and car?

Hehe Yes. The MiTo is a Twin Air Turbo, but it is not only hers. I use it more than she does. I love that car. I think I'm going to sell the Giulietta. I bought it on an auction.. Got it cheap, so hopefully I can make some money on it.

Mito is small and nimble. Cheap running costs and responsive engine. Have driven it over 12000km already! Giulietta is a more "adult" car. Better soundproofed, more powerful engine and bigger. Drives superb and 120HK feels more like 135-140!

 

I am looking for a new radio in the GTV as posted in another thread.

I have now concluded with a barely used Becker with sat. nav. 

The model is called Indianapolis Pro, and looks like this:

An alternative Becker is this, that blends in nicely with the silver PH2 console, but are missing bluetooth:

The Becker design blends in nice with the 90's design of the GTV. A big plus is that they have green illumination.

 

The other alternative is this:

Price is the same for a used Becker as for the new Pioneer. Becker is famous for quality and premium sound. There must be a reason that all luxury cars in Europe have Becker as standard radio. Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche to mention someone...

 

What do the 916 community say? I'll be happy for feedback!

Once you go black.....great looking Guilietta. I like the Turbina wheels.

[Alfaduden 226]

Back in black!

So the car is repaired  . Is the other GTV to a friend of you?

[Alfaduden 226]

Yap. Got my baby back! And she is perfect now!

Yes the other GTV belongs to a friend of mine. A very nice and well set up GTV. It has a tweaked TS inside.

Mine is running great. No jumping, but just a smooth and nice power delivery. Together with the Q2 diff it dances through the corners!

I can hear a weak bearing coming from the rear. That will be this winters project...

Good teasing photos and nice to hear that it runs good too 

[Paso 239]

Good news! Now enjoy! 

[Alfaduden 226]

After a weekend trip to Sweden I have been able to uncover a small issue. Turbo will not activate the "overboost" function and it feels like it does not give as much pressure as it is supposed to. If I only use 50% of the throttle it goes nice and build up turbo pressure.

Could it be a vacuum hose that is disconnected or not properly in place? I will have a look on this tomorrow.

[GTV-TB 315]

Hi, can you elaborate on what happens when you go over 50% of the throttle.

 

What spark plugs are you using and what gap setting do they have?

[Alfaduden 226]

Hi.

 

I can try
When I start off normal and carefully everything seem to be fine. No jumping and engine runs perfect. If I however give full throttle it feels like it have some kind of resistance that is "holding" it back. There is still no jumping, but it can remind a bit of too high pressure on the exhaust side (eg. that the catalyst is plugged), or that the fuel/air mix is wrong when overboost is activated.

 

I am using brand new NGK BPR6, but I have a set of BPR7 waiting to be installed.

The car is currently at the workshop that did the engine rebuild, for a service, and to see if they can sort the problem.

 

I hope this was a good enough explanation.

 

Anyways, winter tyres are on and it looks a lot better from behind now than it did:

 

 

 

 

MiTo went bananas

Install BPR7 spark plugs or Bosch WR56, gap them to 0,6 or maybe 0,65mm I think it will help on your problem.

Yap. Will do when I get it back from the workshop. Thanks for the advice.

Any  

 

news?

Those are Iridium spark plugs right?

I got some denso iridium for my V6. They have a gap of 0.4mm.

Do you think that it is a good idea to gap them to 0.65mm?
