Had a ride in AD's 159 mule and it appeared to exactly what the car
needed in terms of weight/power.



I'd love one.

 

I'd like one too

I dont think anyone on AO has the 2.2 supercharger do they

 

I haven't heard of anyone with a supercharged 2.2 other than the AD test car.

This may be because I have been advised by at least one engineer/mechanic in the past that it is not a good idea to turbocharge or supercharge the 2.2 because it will develop too much torque/power and mash its con rods and other internal gubbins. In otherwords, it will tear itself apart sooner or later. After all, the 2.2 has a lot of torque for a 4 cylinder NA engine.

Now I would love for the above paragraph to be proved wrong by someone posting on here that they've had 20,000+ miles of trouble free fun in a supercharged/turbocharged 2.2 but with no one coming forward it looks like the advice I received was more likely right than wrong. Sad as I quite fancy a turbo'd one actually.

 

I do like the look of the AD Supercharger ... shame no one at Brooklands was interested in chatting to me while I was looking over the 159

but it is a 'small' amount of cash

more likely just to do CF's route and just get it remapped/tuned and new exhaust and inlet/filter setup

 

You mean the Autodelta 2.2 supercharged J4 159? I wasn't at Brooklands. I think they charge £5k or £6k? Lotta money.

 

I thought it was ... sure they had a 159 on the 'stand', i remember there was a GTV with a ghastly bodykit

yeah 5k is a bit much

there are a lot of Autodelta 2.2 supercharged cars in mainland Europe including some with Selespeed transmission.

As we have a number of active international dealers who are fully trained to install our supercharger conversions the 2.2 supercharger is more popular in europe as some countries have high taxation on big capacity engines.

I will be happy to put you in touch with some owners, the closest to Germany I would say is Holland.

I am sure at least one of them will be willing to demonstrate their car if you fancy meeting up with them, if you PM or try jano@autodelta.co.uk I can give you their details.
As far as sound files when I have some free time I will try and get some footage for you.

If you are then interested to have the conversion we can send one of our engineers to Germany to install the kit and we also have TUV certification for this kit.


Below are some foreign magazine tests for you to read (if your russian or dutch is good) and a road test from a dutch motoring programme here YouTube - Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 JTS Autodelta - AutoGetest.nl

Jano

 

I wish I could afford that Jano:wow:

That reminds me, I still need to speak with you over that re-map:thumbs:

 

Russian test again

 

Hi Jano,

Can you confirm a time when Automoda (in Syd,Australia) will have the remap facilities ready? A lot of Australian alfisiti are waiting for it.

 

Being shipped out next week.

 

GREAT! :thumbs:
Could you estimate how long it will take to arrive Sydney ?

 

Andreas, slightly off topic but Slimbloke has the 3.2 in a Brera J5, having done a few runs behind that thing all I can say is it's awesome.
