I got a question here.

is it worth it to go for 2.4 NA conversion Or Turbo one will be better??

Regards,

Mostafa

sure turbo will be much better, but I dont know the availablility of 20vt in your country. Eitherway good luck with the project.

Yeah go for a turbo if you can. You'll soon want more and more and more power!

BTW Great project. Really original

Re: Kj16v: Thanks ... more power is great but more control is much greater

Re: Rich: niether of these engine are available here in Egypt.. What about an conversion for this engine? replace the crankshaft and con rods with 2.4 crankshaft and rods?
is that possible or more parts and machining needed??

Regards,

Mostafa

No just get the stilo engine if you can. Can you import an engine, I still think it might be cheaper. If you cant get that engine just go with the 20v.

I can import an engine but how can i find a Stilo engine? i thought they are very rare .

I was thinking to get the Brazilian Marea 2.4 engine, but shipping will be quite costy..

Any friends in Brazil know the price of this engine - 2.4 20v?

id stay with the 20v you have got,plenty power with that shell and make the car handle

its the same as the fiat stilo 2.4 i think.both 2.4 20v

umm, how much power is enough for Tipo shell to make it handle properly?
but why Tipo is weaker than Coupe or Marea ? they got the same platform and all performance upgrades are equal for all of them...!!!

Regarding the Stilo engine. i just heared it is rare.. thats all..

no sure what coupedummy is saying but ra_xor is right they are all fundementally the same. THe tipo has a narrower track, but easily changed to alfa/coupe track width.

Didnt mean the shell as such even if i did say that, more like the tipo generally being lighter without all the extra bulk the coupe carries around,huge weighty bonnet,seat weight,alloys etc
Bro 20v na coupe was quick enough and quite nimble.

Maybe talkin rubbish but quite interested in this thread!

Nice job Mostafa, see you got a 20V engine now. Beautiful how the mechanics are just working on the street , been in Egypt twice myself and i know that the climate allows to work outside. Over here i can't even WASH my car in my street because of 'pollution'.
