swap

I had a plan to do a v6 swap on my 2.0TS Selespeed 156 for a while, I was mainly looking for a late 2.5 v6 manual donor car from Japan, but yesterday while talking with a local Alfa part importer he mentions that he has a 3.0 v6 24v from a phase 1 916 Spider for sale, so that got my attention...

Hi all. Background, I have a 1987 S3 Spider. US import to UK LHD. I had a water pump fitted a while back but not run her since. Came to fit the fan back on recently and realised the pump fitted didn’t allow the fan to turn due to the car being fitted with AC. The pump fitted was from...

hello, Recently I have swapped 3.2 177kw engine into my 156 2.5 CF3 and i have trouble starting the car when cold. Takes about 3 5 second attempts to start. Next starts are fine. Once started runs great. Even lambda values look ok. Did this swap basing on some older thread in this forum...

Hello everyone! I recently bought a very attractive 2liter 147 with 135.000km on the clock. It has the newer cf3, AR32310 engine, which unfortunatly knocks bad. I was told, that the spiral oil cooler blew a seal on the highway. My idea is to swap the engine, and i have found it to be way easyer...

Hi All, I have been offered a remapped ECU and immobiliser module quite cheap. If I swap these what do I need to do to my original key fob? Do I just need to swap the transponder to the new one or is it a lot more complicated? Thanks, BM

Someone in here done 3.0v6 conversion from alfa 166 to GTV ph1 TS ? What are the struggles

I've not been about for a while, not been driving my 156 for well over a year either due to insurance cost, buying a Reliant and damaging the airbag control unit (own fault). As the control unit seems to be near impossible to find now, and I have the complete system from another car sitting...

Hi, I'm about to do a V6 swap in my 2002 156 TS Selespeed. The problem I'm facing is it is quite hard to find a donor car with the spec I want which is a v6 with a manual gearbox and updated interior and electronic like my 2002 TS, so the question I would like to ask is, is it possible to swap...

I have a 1998 GTV V6 engine and am considering swapping it into a 2003 GTV TS. Anybody done this swap? Wondering about the engine computer. Where is it located on the 1998 car? Will the computer out of say a CP2 166 work? Or can it be made work?

Hello people, browsed forums but i still haven't seen any of 1.9 to 2.4 swap guides. Right now i have a alfa romeo 156 sw FL with a 1.9l 16v engine, but i used to have a older alfa with a 2.4 10v with a remap, and i just loved it, the pure torque and that sound coming from a straight exhaust...

As some of you might know, the 156.net forum is no more. We knew that the site was going down for a while (lack of traffic) so I took the opportunity to save some of my (hopefully) useful threads. I initially posted this July 2012 and subsequently updated the thread to include a guide on...

ANyone done this? I have a 159 3.2 to sell and would love the engine and brake system transplant before I sell it - 2.2 is reasonably powerful but the 3.2 is 45% more power. How many hours labour would this be at a workshop - I am sure the engine harnesses and exhausts would also need to be...
