The car has a larger turbo (GT28Rs) and costume exhaust manifolds, to fit the turbo.

also has a larger intercooler, and all intercooler tubes in aluminum.

the exhaust its in stainless steel, 80mm, with only two silencers.

I still have the stock injectors, but i already bought the Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo injectors.

the Spark plugs are iridium

Dump Valve from Blits

Spark plug wires Magncore 8.5

AEM wideband

is missing

mount external wastegate (TiAl) and adjust the map of the ECU.

but in the engine bay, I still have plenty to do :huh:

This week I will mount the braking system of the 156 GTA, with discs of 305

after mounting the brakes, I'll buy the coillovers of KW and start saving money for the GTV CUP KIT.

Cheers ;)

Good stuff!

How much does the Magncore spark wires cost?

I am also interested in the ECU set up. Could you post some more information after you get it done?

Hi

thanks

they cost € 200,its half of the alfa spark plugs wire (it cost 400€ + VAT)

I will take time to reveal the results of tuning the ECU,because I'll have to stop the GTV, to mount the wastgate.

but the tuning of the ECU will be made here in Portugal for a friend of mine.

yes i will update the post :thumbsup:

PS: 200€ = +/- 160£

Is the filter still down there? I guess it doesn't rain that much in Portugal :happy0045:

hello

I do not know,Ihave not measured the power,because I have not tuned the ECU.

i need to mont the wastgate first, because at 2000rpm i have full turbo boost, and if i keep the pedal down the turbo make 2bar and enter in save mode. (arrond 4000rpm)

and i can not test the car because still runing with stock injectors, which I have to change in the day of tune the ECU.

How much did the the turbo cost you? I've found a couple for about 1000€, but I think I could get it for less...

Have you thought about changing the ECU?

Aaah... Cool!

Looks like you have done all the mods I want to do...

GT28RS is a plan and a intercooler...

Can you send me the measures on your IC?

How is Lowtec to use on normal roads? I've ordered FK Silverline X...

I have 305mm BREMBO GTA kit in my cellar waiting to be mounted.. Just need new bearings in my 3L 24V hubs...

Have you tested the engine on a dyno?

Concave is an adjective, it means to have an outline or surface that curves inward like the interior of a circle or sphere. It's opposite of convex.
