Look up Toyota 2zzge, amazing engine, 1.8l 187bhp, real torquey, super top end and revs to 8.2k.
weird why people said TwinSpark engine is not good.
my father is an Alfa mechanic and he never seen a bad TS engine.
the Alfa Boxer is worst compared to the TwinSpark.
even nearly all of his customers’ cars that use TS engine still running after 10 years.
I wonder if any Alfa twin spark owners get mislead of owning a V8 whenever they buy spark plugs
You can change the alternator belt belt while the bettle is running, not the timing belt 😂😅
Would be awesome to see more om606 swaps!
I own an alfa with a twin spark engine and it is not that great… it is only a 1.4l but it shoyld have more grunt, it screams a lot but doesn’t pull it’s own in my opinnion…
Ford’s Barra is possibly the best and most under appreciated motors ever made, from dedicated gas engine’s running over 800,000km to turbo models running 310kW at the fly. Stupidly versatile and extremely reliable.Keep your LS..
Yup definitely the B234R! It’s funny when people ask me “can you even tune a Saab?”
Jeep 4.0
BEAMS under appreciated?!
