make sure you leave room to fit a balance pipe, or you do not get the same sound

Mines not fitted yet, but there will be a balance pipe eventualy.


omega0684 - 25/7/09 at 07:47 PM

balance pipe?

what for and where should it go?


Trev Borg - 25/7/09 at 07:54 PM

sorry, balance pipe for the exhausts, pipe between both sides. Without it it sounds like a triple unless you stood right behind it.

There's not a lot that I could find online to be honest. The Alfa owners site has some engine builders on it, so they can be really handy. There is a site somewhere of a Dutch guy who fitted one into a Dax, IIRC. That was more of a build site, but it still gives some useful pics.
Be warned though, it's not a cheap engine to play with. Homebrew stuff will save you a lot, but things like the cambelt kit are £200, as you need the idlers too.
I have my engine is bits at the moment, as I'm awaiting funds to allow me to rebuild it. You're more than welcome to come round and have a nose, or take some pics of anything.

owelly has the alfa 164 fixed north south in his magenta with bespoke belhousing, to a type 9 box. Seems to work very well.

There are build diarys on the PPC forum for his magenta, and the gemini
