Hi, nice to have you around, just ask away, as you say quite a bit of knowledge stored up in this place.
Integrales in the States must be rare, I think one of our members has a Q4 in Canada but I don't think there is one in the USA.
Post up a pic if you will, always nice to see an Integrale.

There are some here in the states but don’t see them around at all. All the ones I’ve seen are for sale at import dealers, never actually met another owner.Attachment 2949Attachment 2950Attachment 2951

Thanks for the pics, seems strange seeing an Integrale with a US backdrop.
Sounds like you've got some interesting cars from your profile. Feel free to post up pics of them.
If you've not found it yet, take a look for the garage feature of the forum, you can post up pics and details of all your cars.

I’ve got a question for you guys. I have an electronic boost controller that works as a gauge as well. It reads boost in bar, I’m doing ok now at reading the metric gauges and decifering pretty close to US standard units I understand, but when it’s in a vacuum I have no idea what I’m looking at. Havent driven the car in a while, weather is crap right now, but as I remember at idle is about -35 and if I engine brake it’ll spike as high as -70 but generally hits -60/-65. Id like to know what unit of measurement this is so I can convert to a unit I understand.

To be honest that sounds like bar to me as well.
I've just got a boost gauge and at idle that dips to -0.35 bar.
It might just be that your boost controller doesn't show the period at the start.

Hello guys! I am from Portugal and I have a beautiful Alfa 156 2.4 SW 20v. :smile:

Hi Deasel, welcome to the site, apologies it took so long to get your login sorted.
Any pics of the 156? Love the look of a Sportwagon.

Hi Guys!
Long time no see!
I've being dissapeared from the forum for... can't even remember, maybe 7 or 8 years?
Of course I still have the Q4, in a really bad shape. More than 4 years without running.

Hi, it's good to be back :) , not that there is much activity here and maybe in general for this model around the world :( .
As you came back here maybe you think to start the return to life for her :) .
-
That's the idea, bring it back to life.
As most of us, this is an endless project car.

"hello, hello, you say goodby, I say hello..." I'm from the Beatles generation: 70 years old now and I live in the south of the south of France, at 10 km of the Spanish border.
I have been for years fondof Italian cars Alfa (Giulietta 2L, 75 turbo, 156 V6 2,4l, 156 GTA) and Lancia (Delta Integrale 8S and then Integrale 16S in the 90).
One of my hobbies is the participation to historic rallyes (I have for that a Ferrari 308GTB 77 -one of the last Vetroresina cars- and an Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 BN7). I use the Ferrari during the bad whether days and the Healey with nice weather.
My next rally will be, in september, a coast to coast road trip from the Mediterranean sea to the Atlantic across all the Pyrenean chain.
For these activities I need cars older than 30 years and, since last january, I'm the proud owner of a Delta Integrale Evo (the only model I never had).
According to the cars I already have, I'm used to engines working fine as long as the fuel arrives to it and spark plugs spark.
I'm so interested in learning these "modern" engines and it seems to me a right place...
With my best regards
Paul

Hi and welcome to the forum :) .
You have a nice car history and current cars. Unfortunately, not much activity here recently, but there is old useful posts.
In my opinion, if you want to learn these engines and your car in particular will be good to have the service manual for it. If you want to read about all the cars with this engine I can recommend the book "Twin Cam Italia".

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum.
As kunev said, there is no much activity here, but the information in old post is extremely good (it should be possible to back it up for the time when this forum will be dpwn).
The engine of your "new" Delta is the same of the Alfa 155Q4 that is really popular here. Almost the same for the transmission, so lot of the information here or ansewrs you could get, will let you know better your car.
