My Q4

[Brul(tm)]

Any ideas where to buy just them ???

I ordered them through the same shop (specialized in brake parts ). These two hoses are often forgotten, your not alone there
Goodridge is able to make hoses on request, by your specification. I had problems with the hoses at the rear end, they got torn off I ordered two new hoses, only a couple of cm longer this time.

Greetings,
Marc

yes, I saw them today, completely forgot about these. Any ideas where to buy just them ???

Hi, Jivco.
How did you managed with the two extra brake hoses?

I have also received a 4 hoses kit and the local dealer sais that these are the Goodridge specifications for the 155Q4. I have sent them the chassis number too before ordering.

After I have compared with the OEM brake hoses, it doesn't seem to me having same sizes at all. Neither the same configuration.

My curiousity is why Goodridge have same specifications for 155Q4 as for others 155... http://www.goodridge.co.uk/car-brake...alfa-romeo.htm

Yes, they are not for q4, and need some invasions . The short ones ... I've ordered them here in Bulgaria in a workshop, custom built.

I did not contact Goodrich, so if you got the patience, maybe you should.

there is a set with 4 brake hoses and one with six, you just need the one with six

I was just skimming back over this thread and I don't think you told us about you how solved the rear differential problem?

well I did not. I'm using the open dedra rear diff, and not putting my spare torsen, before doing a full revision of the gearbox/front and epicyclic diff

I'm also waiting for a spare gearbox, that I wish to revision and reinforce before using some real boost.

Back to performance upgrades ... new turbo fitted

looks good - I enjoyed looking at the album! What level of boost are you planing on (for the garrett)?

I'm limited by the size of injectors and strength of the gearbox, so I guess no more than 1.5 bar at least for a while

j1v, your car is going to become my dream's car!!!
one question, why did you take off the bumper of the car?

?

I had to do the turbo downpipe, water and oil lines etc, and it's much easier with the bumper and radiator removed

Any ideas where to buy a new knock sensor. The two sensors I have are both badly damaged ( the rubber insulation + very bad cables) and I really don't want to get another used one

is that the same one as in q4 ?

It's looks equal, but can't be sure if it's the same.

Shouldn't be the same as Cosworth uses almost the same ECU (IAW P8)??

Well I bought it ... it's not the same, different thread

Doable however, will make it 8x1.25 (no it is typical ford - 10x1.5)

[markgq4]

very impressive project J !
how far do you think it is from being ready to drive?

i want to be there as the co-pilot for the first run out lol

[j1v]

i can't tell ... trying not to rush and do the things like i want to and not like i can at the exact moment

I was wondering what are your plans on the oil cooler and air passage to it with this front bumper, or are going to change the location of the oil cooler/radiator.
Thanks

it stays on the default location, no probs at all.

Air will be sent to it from the hallo whole (haven't drilled it yed, still looking for appropriate part for it, maybe the edges from some old broken hallos)

[j1v]

Did some tests on the rear brakes today. Old front discs with evolution calipers ... not exactly bolt-on but not so dificult at all, hopefully will be done next weekend

[wrinx]

Interesting...which model of caliper; and how are you dealing with the handbrake?
