Alfa 33 16v - Fast Road Car

[Supercharged16v]

This project is actually pretty much finished, just needs some details here and there and a bit of time to fine tune it.

Regardless, as all my Alfas, there is a story behind it, and I can post some pictures for you to see whats been done....


To begin with, this 33 was given to me as a present from three of my best friends, after I had the misfortune of some scum torching my old and very much loved 16v 33 (by accident I may add). I was an innocent victim :/



Upgrades so far:


Engine:

- The 1.7 16v engine was fully rebuilt using JE pistons bringing up the cc's to 1800 and cr 11.5:1
- Colombo & Barriani Fast Road Cams
- Lightened flywheel
- ported intake/exhaust on heads
- OMEX 600 ECU
- BMC air intake
- Magnecor KV85 spark cables


Suspension:

- Koni Yellow front inserts, Koni Red rear shocks, OMP springs
- Front OMP strut bar

Wheels:

- OZ Superleggera 17x7" 37mm offset, 6.2kg each

Brakes:

- Front 4 pot Brembo calipers with 304mm discs for a Fiat Coupe 20VT
- Rear discs and calipers conversion from a crashed 33 which had ABS and rear discs

Exhaust:

- Full stainless system, 63mm end pipes, carbon dressed tip

Interior:

- Sparco steering wheel and gear knob/gaitor
- Dressed up door cards
- front and rear door speakers installed
- Rear electric window motors installed
- Sound proofing (downside I know)
- Overhead DVD player for the baby

Still to be done:

- Fit vernier cam pulleys which I already bought
- Fit the COMPLETE powerflex bushes , which I already bought
- Replace the 2 rear red konis with yellows to get a stiffer rear end.....
- Do a remap
- Replace the front seats to bucket ones

That must be so much fun as to be illegal!

It's a lot of fun, especially on the twisty mountain roads at night

Mind you, it will be A LOT better after I install the vernier cam pulleys, as I cant give it much load now.
I get advanced timing tick so I dont push it as much as I want to.

Nevertheless, its done quite a respectable time on the track last week, 1:25.4 - Faster than a Fiat Coupe 20VT and a Mini Cooper

Still not as fast as my time with the Abarth

Hate you even more now!! I want a white 33 to go with my white 156!!!

 

[Supercharged16v]

True.

Small car, short wheelbase, turbocharged on a track with just one straight and lots of tight bends, is ideal. Not always about the horsepower, but dont forget I can smash you on a straight line

You did a good job improving your lap time by 4 seconds though

Hahaha Good one

Well the trick to get the perfect sandwich is to remove one of the rear tail lights thats got the reverse white lens on it, and replace it with a left hand drive's one, which is also red.
Then remove the number plates and sit it low and fat

You can do it I'm sure
