Thanks, Nick!
Thanks!
hi nice work
just check that the hose A and B is it in the right plase
if A is in the place of B and B in the place of A then you can go uper than 0.48bar
A is in the center of pierberg
and fix the fuel pressure imidietely i damage my engine from a lean mixture now i rebuild it with a help from stuntz
And here we go once again...
The whole story starts again.
The reason that was causing the lack of power was low compression (around 8bar = 116psi ), so I took the whole engine, and drivetrain apart...
So this time there will be some bigger modifications.
- forged pistons
- equal length exhaust mainfold
- Lancia kappa intake
- T3/T4 turbo
- Gr.A head gasket
- bigger oil cooler
- bigger AC
- kevlar clutch
- 4piston brakes
etc...
Here are some pictures:

So here is what caused the lack of power...
So the hole is 1.5 times bigger as it should be, as the red line shows.
So I had the very first VPT (Variable Piston Timing) engine Q4 ever...
Patents Pending!

Sorry, that's what I meant, so it messed the timing
Very strange...can't think why anyone would do that. That slot is for a woodruff key I presume?

That's a weird one, I've never seen that before.
Maybe a hamfisted mechanic lost the woodruff key and had to file it out for a bigger one?
Should have got Jack to slacken the nut off, it would have never come loose then eh...

love these 4piston alu calipers.
Please let me know how they fit and what about rims clearance.
Nick
I'd like to keep the standard disk too. A little more breaking power at the front wheels wont be bad though.
From the other hand, I do trust more the good old piston type calipers. And if they are 4 piston will be great.
Waiting for the pics as soon as you complete it.
Good luck
