Club Fiat 500 - Argentina

But the situation has been like that for years. I know of many inquieries sent, but very few have gotten a reply of any kind. As for next summer, I got an intake manifold for dual DHLA's and a friend of mine is willing to loan me the carbs. He has a pair that has been waiting for the car to get buil...

I actually knew, that those are made on Argentina. I don't know either how those got here. What I know is that those most likely are cheaper than the traditional manufacturers, but hard to buy since they don't have a sales network here and apparently they don't reply to email etc. But I guess someon...

New year is coming, so its time for some new tricks. I have another engine sitting in my garage.. I dont think that NA has much more to give, so I thought I'd give a bit of boost a try. I found some iapel turbo pistons. But those are not that well known in Europe. Are those good? I was thinking of a...

Pretty smoothly at around 1100 rpm. I think it would idle lower as well if I could use more ignition advance at idle. Now its at 12 deg at idle and about 32 max. In the dyno we tried up to 36 where it started to shown signs of slight knock. Power and torque remained virtually unchanged, so we went b...

Head was taken off, seats and valves reworked and the engine put back together. The camshaft was also changes to a version that has about 1 mm more lift. Now it has 10,2 mm from valve. Duration pretty much the same at around 290 seat to seat. After some serious tuning again I took it to a dyno: http...

Ran into some company at a gas station. Actually the 3rd and 4th intake valves touched the pistons a bit. The timing was about 36 deg of...

This is the multigroove on top of the cam gear: http://i.imgur.com/EmkgW2V.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BJ5PzSa.jpg This is why I think the timing belt jumped. The multigroove got in between the cam belt in the hassle.. I've also installed some old school buckets to it : http://i.imgur.com/BzcNzaz.jpg It ...

Luckily there wasn't any real damage. I just lifted the head to sleep well. Afterall it took an hour and then I knew for sure if the engine was ok or not. Its just all in the motorsport. So its not fixing it, its just improving it. A friend of mine has a spare set of DHLA's. Not sure if I'll fit tho...

I spoke to an inspection engineer and he didn't approve of the SE or IAVA. Not that big of a deal, since the current motor can be inspected with the Sp...

Thanks. I'll let you know what happens. I spoke to an acquaintance of mine, who has a 128 with a 1500 engine. From him they had demanded original manual from the same year as the engine. So no printed copies were allowed. He had a 1985 manual, but that wasn't good since he had fitted a 1987 engine. ...
