Engine just before removal (with twin Dellorto DRLA40s and Mallory ignition). Very untidy wiring - installing EFI will give me the kick to install the wiring neatly after temporarily fitting it 3 years ago!
Here is the crank trigger a wheel a friend designed and had laser cut for me. The missing tooth is still present, once I have fitted the crank trigger sensor.
I will use Alfa Romeo 145 1.7 16V boxer throttle bodies. These have 40mm bore at the top, but are of an oval shape at the bottom.
The friend that designed the crank trigger is making me the flanges for the head and the throttle bodies.
Q. Hi, I'll follow your setup, I'm also a vw enthusiast. I had heard about throttle bodies from alfa engin, but I was told that they had the idf pattern on the bottom. That's why I also picked up one of those 16v engin equipped with oval-shaped bodies, and seeing this disappointed me. I'm curious to see if you can get hp from those with custom manifolds. Did you dyno the engin before evolution? -could be pretty interesting. Nicolas
