Are you selling these with the custom adapters? with the PZero Tires? etc? Let me know. I would be interested

Dear Sir, I would be interested to buy this. As you can see I am trying to salvage as much as I can complete the said kit. Please respond directly to my post. Thanks

Dear Sir, I would like to buy these. Please respond directly to my post. Thanks

Can you please send me directly pictures of these. PM me directly

Guys, Can you please point to me a "breaker" that can sell me an entire engine and/or part of the engine of a 1996 above V6 2.0 Turbo? Though if you have anything for sale in your garage with this motor i would be interested. Thanks.

Hello Guys, I am currently finishing off a 1996 Alfa Romeo GTV that I purchased from a friend of mine last 2012. I would like to share this to all. I know some of you may not like what I did to the alfa but remember I got this in a much worst shape from the previous owner. I just love this alfa body that I had to do some justice into it and make it my personal toy. The project started off with a running car with a lot of wrong parts on the car. To start off is that the engine was replaced with a Toyota 3SGE 3rd generation engine and the suspension were converted from different parts from any Japanese car. More parts were not in place and were converted if ever. For short it was in a mess and desecrated. As you know, alfa romeo was here sometime in the 90's and brought in these GTV's. There are still some running units but rarely would you see anything running or in the best condition. So I contracted my friends car shop and worked on the alfa romeo. We first worked on the engine by replacing it with a modified Toyota 3SGTE 4th generation engine that came from a Supra. With further modifications on the engine the horsepower is now around 330hp. I wanted to rebuild the alfa V6 2.0 turbo that was in it but it could not be found anymore. The Toyota engine was rebuilt from scratch with new bearings, rings, etc.. I would believe that this is the only alfa romeo with such an engine in the world. It was repiped with front intercoolers, BOVs, Wastgates, Malfassi Fuel Regulator, Wahlbro fuel pump, Oil intercooler, twin Remus Exhaust system, custom fabricated 3-in stainless steel exhaust system, etc etc The car was repainted to original alfa specs with Duponts. The interiors are reupholstered leather seats by a famous reupholsterer in the Philippines. The gauges on top are from Sgear that shows 4 types of reading per dial. Eonon car stereo and back up cameras were also installed, Sparco seat belts, etc etc. The 16-in mags are stock but have Federal 595SS semi slick tires on them. I am still waiting for the delivery of the Koni Sports tuned shocks. No lowering springs were ordered because the roads in the Philippines are not that great. In addition, the aircon condenser is located underneath besides the transmission and comes from a Japanese van. Additional fans are also located at the bottom that sucks out air from underneath the engine. I am still NOT finished on car project as I am replacing the discs, placing a specially fabricated front strut bar, rear strut bars, Cadamuro spoilers, etc.. I would not recommend that you do this if you don't have the time, engineering skills and a specialized machine shop besides your car shop/garage and a wife who is monitoring your bank account. The project started last August 2012. The car is very much driveable nowadays but I am still waiting for some of the parts to arrive from all over Europe. The drive on this alfa will push you back to your seat because of the power to weight ratio and the racing clutch that were installed. See pictures. if you wish to know more of the project let me know. I have full pictures of the project from start to finish. Thank you guys. more power to the members. Bobby

Vengeance, since I am all custom made. My plan is to install twin brake calipers up front. I am just waiting for the pair of calipers I ordered to arrive. Others in my head are: 1- changing the gas tank and install a fuel cooling system 2-carbon bucket seat with alfa logo, 18-in wheels, 3-chassis stiffening 4-installing a front fan for the aircon (its fucking hot here during the summer at 40+deg C) 5-front/rear spoilers and side skirts etc etc etc.

Next up is installing my newly acquired SYNAPSE Blow Off Valve. I did not go with using the original piping mount that goes with the BOV because there have been instances here that the BOV mount tend to break loose its weld because of the weight of the BOV. I am not sure if the weld on those that were torn were of poor welding or really just the weight. Nevertheless, I am not leaving anything to chance so I had a hollow tube be made specifically for this BOV. Stainless steel material was used on a bar and machined to fit exactly. The top part I had placed a groove so that a rubber O Ring can be mounted for a tight air seal. Enjoy....

Sorry been very busy with work lately. Here is my latest custom on my suspension. I initially had Koni Sports Shocks on my front. But then one of the guys here badly needed a front shocks so I sold mine to him. What I did was a former friend of mine had a VW Corrado and had Koni Coil Overs on them but he then went back to Sports Shocks. He had then sold his Corrado to a friend of ours and sold the pair of front coil overs to me. So I used the Koni Coil Overs and converted to fit into the GTV. I took out the front axle holder of the coil over and the OEM Shock. The OEM Axle holder was then welded to the Koni Coil Overs. I then had to machine the top strut part to fit into the Top Shock Mount Bearings. I then painted the axle holder to Koni Yellow colors for a bit of pizzaz. Voila .... a new set of coil overs on my alfa GTV. The coilover worked much better than the sports shocks most probably because of the 330HP my engine is producing. WARNING. unwelding and welding of axle mounts may destroy the internals of the shock absorbers. This is a long process and will require a professional welder to do.

The problem with upgrading an engine to higher horsepower is stopping and chassis integrity. This will mean I also have to upgrade my brakes and do chassis stiffening....

Damgreg, I will sell the seat whoever maybe interested with them. Just give me a fair price I will sell. The problem is the shipping cost from Asia to Europe though. Though I expect these to be available sometime after !Q2015 yet. I will yet have to place the order for the Bride bucket seats with the Alfa logo on it. GTV TB, I recently hid the airhorn under the left side headlight covers and replaced the oil catch tank with a CUSCO one. Up next on the engine is replacing the internals of the turbocharger with specially ordered internals (turbine fins, shaft, bearings, etc.) from Garret USA. My friend has made such an upgrade in one of his cars and wow it had tremendous hp. The current CT20 turbo in principle will perform like a GT28 or GT30 when finished and fast spooling too. I will go with this project because buying a bigger turbo will cost me more as I have to do repiping. I do also plan to replace the ECU Management from Greddy to Haltech 1000 as well. My engine should easily hit to 350 to 400hp when finished. A specially fabricated engine strut is in the works as we speak. Will these wheels look great on the car?

Was very busy on my other cars....... My alfa gtv engine has been set up with new mods... Evo 8 560cc Fuel Injectors, 2-SPAL 11-in fans, 3-Rows full size aluminum radiators, new radiator stainless steel pipes and H&R Springs. the fuel injectors were registering 650cc to 700cc amazing though we didn't need that much for now but when I upgrade the internals of the turbo we may eventually need to tap them. Attached are the transition of the engine bay. I believe you can guess which is stage 1 to 3. Other projects in the works are: Engine strut bars and lower braces, new 18-in mags, zender rear wings, side skirts, front and rear fenders. carbon bucket seats, etc. Note: most of what is being done here are custom fabrications

can I buy the rims only????

Just to inform you that I got the spoiler first week September. was kinda busy travelling in and out of hong kong lately. Do you by chance have specific instruction on to best install these? I am mentioning about angles and distances from the top and bottom of the windshield. Pretty cool and very rare piece of wing....!!!

Kunev, Have been reading your post. Very good explanation to our fellow alfa lovers. Looking into working to my 2nd GTV V6 2.0TB soon. Keep up the post I would need in sourcing some of the parts you mentioned.... cheers

Is this still available? How much are you selling this?

Vassilis, It seems I am the only one interested in this piece. Please send me a PM so that we can finalize the payments.

Guys, My second alfa is about to be delivered to me anytime this July 2014. This will have the original 2.0 V6 Turbo engine. I would like to ask if there is a way to replace the cylinder head of this 12 valve engine for the cylinder head of the 3.0 24V engine??? If so, what would do I still need to do in order for this engine head swap to work? ECU, etc etc??? This is a matter of planning only because if not, I will just stick with the 12valve and just increase the displacement and stage 2 cams..... B) Now I will soon have a 2 GTV's on my stable. One with an original GTV engine and another with a souped up 3sgte Engine :happy0045:

I am experiencing overheating problems because of my recent tuning and upgrades. Add to this is the fact that we experience from 37-40deg C heat here. Do remember I live near the equator and are a tropical country. Our cars have different cooling system than in other countries. I will be installing a larger Tomei 2 rows aluminum radiator which has a width of 25-in. Actually, it barely cleared the ends of the hood clamps mound and was a very hard to fit in. Had to do some metal bending. 2 SPAL 11-in Pull Fans will augment the airflow of the radiator and engine bay. There are 2 remote fans also located below the engine bay to suck out air inside the engine bay. They are remotely controlled which is needed when I am in a traffic jam.

By the way I did install sound deadening materials inside my car. There were 2 choices I made to do this: 1 was using a 1- 1.5in foam insulation or using these sound deadening sheets. I believe they are made of asphalt of some sort. These are used by audio buffs. The trade off is that these sheets are pretty heavy. Nevertheless, I did install these sound deadening sheets.

I will be ordering these 18-incher for my alfa.....

Just installed the KONI's with stock springs. Well they respond much much better than before. Love zipping around the traffic on this small ROCKET!!! But the ride height is too high. Seems like I have set up an ALFA RALLY CAR... . I don't like to cut springs or machine pressing the springs to lower it down because there are some tendency of imbalance handling. We have done this in the past. If it was just for urban showing off it would be ok. But I do have plans of riding this to the race track for some cool and fast rides. I suspect that the ride height is tall because the former owner may have changed his springs with a similar jap springs!!! Honestly, with the konis and the jap springs they ride pretty well but it does not seem very correct. The former suspension were Kayabas at the rear and for the McPherson, the former owner cut the shocks and replaced the insides with Mitsubishi parts!!! I may have to buy the H&R lowering springs that comes with it...... This should solve the stance and the ride quite well. I have installed polybushes on the front A-arms and most of the links, bearings, boots, etc are brand new. No rattles under the chassis except for some interior bolts and parts which I have yet to secure again..... thread locks should solve them. The new Tie Rods from the power steering came from a Toyota Corolla wherein we just modified the threads and machined it to reduce length. The diameter of the corolla tie rod was a bit bigger so this posed no problems and should be much stronger. 4 wheel alignment, camber, toe ins were done based on what was sent to this post. Up next twin caliper brake system (no brembos or large disk) , bigger aluminum radiators (I am experiencing overheating problems with the small radiator) , chassis stiffening bars (FR/RR upper and lower strut bars) As I have said don't do this project unless you have the patience, an open budget, a shop and a motorhead. I am a bachelor so nobody is heckling on my finances....
