My 146 Ti turbo from South Africa

My current Alfa Romeo is a 146 Ti 2.0 Twin Spark with plenty added goodies and magic!
It has bee turbocharged and intercooled by Alpine Developments South Africa.
Here is some specs and photos:

The turbo conversion was done when the car had about 5000 KM on the odo.
Pistons are standard.
Conrods are standard but shortened to drop the compression ratio to 8.0:1
Fuel pressure regulator was bypassed in the tank at the fuel pump and an adjustable fuel pressure regulatorfitted at the rail with a new return pipe to the tank. (done by myself 8))
2 x Extra fuel injectors for more fuel controlled via a Gotech mini X system.
The standard Bosch M1.5.5 management remains on the car.
Boost is set at 0.5 barpressure although this setup can easy handle 0.8 bar. I left it at 0.5 for extra peace of mind!
Adjustable Koni shocks with a 30mm Eibach drop.
16" Yokohama A-drive tyres 205/45/16
Madman EGT gauge installed.
TIM boost gauge installed
The standard plastic plenum was replaced with a CF1 Alluminium plenum. The plastic one broke under pressure and led to number 4 piston running lean and breaking a ring landing. This happened to the previous owner.
Power reading was 141KW on the wheels and 176KW on the flywheel.
Not bad for a 2.0 4 cylinder! I am in 3.2 V6 territory.....

The car now has a geniune 74000km on the odo.
It is a 1999 model.

Nicely done. Welcome to the forum :)

Very nice and welcome

Love it, a real street sleeper, if I'm not mistaken 176KW is about 230bhp on old money.
That should surprise a few people out on the road.

Anyway, welcome to the forum, and feel free to add the car, and any others you have into the garage.

what turbo you use?

Been a while since I was on this forum.
Turbo I am using is a Mitsubishi TD04H 16T. Normally found on a certain volvo think the 850 T5.

I've managed to destroy my gearbox.....
Will post photos on the gearbox change.
I have a brand new gearbox now.
fitted it myself.
