The radius for the brake pad force on the disc is increased with 23 mm.

When the radius from the beginning is about 80 mm, 23 mm is more than 25% increase. So you get a 25% greater brake force. Tha ...

I use the 284 mm disc from Alfa 155 TS 16V and adapters (made here in Denmark) to reposition the original calipers from Alfa 33 16V.

It is a cheap and effective change.

There will certainly be no "bolt-on-kit" availlable for turbo on the boxer. They are all custom made and seems to create a lot of problems.

Nobody has ever told about his own turbo-converted boxer ...

Do you know a company where they make good quality headgaskets "to order"?

I need boxer-engine head gaskets for 90 mm pistons (which raises the 1712 cc to 1832 cc).

I have got some for my own 1. ...

BLS Automotive in England has had the Torsen Quaife diff. on two occasions, because they got two extra diffs each time I collected the order for 10 an 14 diffs respectively. But they are sold a long t ...

Dear alfaqv33

Could you give me a contact to the place in Holland where they have a Quaife Torsen ready for sale?

I have some times enquireries, and some persons would be very, very happy to hav ...

I have twice been involved in collecting orders for the Quaife Torsen differential.

They are very nice working (I have them on two boxers).

But you cannot buy a single one at Quaife. They will n ...

If you already think that comfort is poor, why stiff'n the Koni's more than the basic settings?

I have not heard of problems with the front rails since the 16V versions were fitted with the two bar ...

Hej Luke

Now you have fixed the tyre problem by fitting new Goodyear F1 (but still the same size, new rims with 195/50-15 would be much better). But you did not tell which marque the original tyr ...

It is not enough to match the revs properly when downshifting.

You will have to double de-clutch, because if you only push up the revs when the clutch is down, you will not spin the gear axle to th ...

Gearbox strength and destroying synchros have nothing to do with each other.

If you are not kind when changing gear (especially downwards) you would also destroy the synchros even if your Alfa 33 w ...

It is the torque and not the power that kills the gearbox and clutch.

I have run for 10 years with a 33 16V gearbox and a supercharged 1.5 engine with 220 Nm torque (0,9 bar).

The gearbox has ra ...

It is easy to adjust.

You will have the best braking, if all wheels are on the edge of locking at the same time, but the front should lock with a slightly less pedal pressure than the rear to avoid ...

Any additional help beyond the already written help about hebrew language and refreshing (I still only get a white, empty screen) ?

Hi Eddie

Sounds like the boxer engine already has a kind of surge tray, a horisontal plate in the sump.

Regards Peter

Hi Eddie

What is a "windage tray" (not in my technical dictionary).

Could you explain further or send/show a photo/drawing?

I am sure they must be the same, but I have never actually seen an "English" Alfasud and compared.

Maybe you can look at the make and numbers on the glas.

When you inform about them, I can look ...

I have bad experience with mounting an extra fuel injector in combination with Unichip (on a turbo engine).

The company itself, who did this thing to gain enough fuel, later said that our problem w ...

Yes, you have to reset the valve setting as prescribed, when fitting new lower springs.

You can also just move it a little and doing it again and again, until the brake balance just shifts from rea ...

Hi

I think that you bother too much with the calculations.

First you cannot calculate the rolling circumference of a tyre by using the size and profile etc. Deformations change the result.

All the other engines will fit.

But with the 16V you will also need a new front crossmember.

You shall not tune on a 1.3 engine. It is totally wrong and expensive.

You can buy a spare engine from a 1.5 or 1.7 (which is a much better solution) for the same money that will buy you a pair of ...
