Tuning the Twin Spark

Right, my rent is going up soon so I want to do the sensible thing and sort my engine out before it's too late!

Where would be the best place to get a fast road engine made for my '99 146? I'm after cams and a gas flowed head. AH Motorsports seem to know what they're doing. Also found this place CNC Heads - HOME

Any suggestions? I want to spend about £1600 maybe a little bit more but I want genuine gains as well.

Already have a Ragazzon Group N exhaust and a BMC CDA will be fitted shortly. Possibly getting Supersprint manifold and de-cat as well.

Re: Tuning the Twin Spark

If you don’t want to tune the engine for track use and keep it usable for daily driving I would go for fast road cams, ported head, exhaust manifold and racing cat. I wouldn’t touch the intake, its well designed on Alfa and better save the money on CDA, add something more and get a lightweight flywheel and better clutch.

If you still want to keep spending money and your engine is already taken apart think about having crankshaft with flywheel properly balanced and removing balancer shafts with their belt.

AH motorsports have a great reputation, I wouldn’t hesitate to give them my car for some work if I could afford it

Of course you need a re-map to use all of this.
