From this thread I have decided.

I want a 16VT that has been fitted with a 20VT engine. That way I can have the superior handling of the 16VT with the 20VT sound and fuel economy.

I'm building a 20VT Coupe track car at the moment, the thing that I need to sort most at the moment is the gearing, is the gearbox from the Alfa V6 compatable? I'm looking at the posibility of fitting the final drive from a 3.0V6 166 to bring down the ratios.
Being off boost at 3000rpm at the exit of a corner sucks ass.

Anyhoo...

Tried changing down a gear?

eeeh


yes

The reason why the 16VT handles better is because the engine is lighter.

Oh not this again, there is nothing in it between the two when it comes to weight and as for handling, it's the same chassis !
The only difference is the amount of turns lock to lock on the rack.

I have driven both and find the 20vt superior,although some say a 16vt has a lsd it drives like it hs`nt!
I was in a 60k original with standard power 195bhp and it span up in the dry coming out of a corner which the 20vt would have handled better.
I believe lighter is better but the extra weight pushing the tyres into the road and the lsd on the 20vt makes the 20vt the winner

But i`d still like a 16vt as there getting rare now.

NOT AGAIN

Oh please, LSD ? No version of the coupe has LSD but both versions of the turbo have a viscous coupling on the drive shaft.

Lets please not get into silly the one version of the coupe is better than the other discussion again. There really is nothing in it between the two.

No lsd,I stand corrected ,i knew there was some kind of mechanical help.

I was just stoking the fire I love them all

I was joking.
