Iniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Iniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Turbocharging! Club Meeting and Tech Session, Group 2, April 11 Turbocharging: Nothing Forced about its Benefits About 25 members gathered at Group 2 in Ballard for our April club meeting, on a fine evening that saw at least two top-down convertibles among the attendees! Our initial socializing and catching-up was greatly aided by a lavish spread Group 2 had laid out for us, and I think we managed to keep most of the food off John van Rensburg’s fine Italian motorcycles in the lounge/retail area. Many thanks, John! Much of the pleasure of these gatherings, of course, comes from look- ing at the variety of cars and bikes at the shops we visit, and Group 2 offered an impres- sive collection of Alfas currently in house for various service and modification projects. Two 164s (one a 164Q) were being serviced, as was a GTV6 and no less than three racing Milanos, including Mirko Freguia’s immaculate red example and John van Rensburg’s own racer. Wes Ingram’s old racing GTV was also present, looking absolutely gorgeous and currently in search of a new owner. After a short club meeting we moved on to the main topic of the evening: turbocharging! The appeal of a relatively straightforward bolt-on power increase has always been strong, but John pointed out just how mainstream the approach has become. Thirty years ago less than one percent of cars on the road had any form of forced induc- tion; this year that figure is expected to be nearer 46-47%. Manufac- turers have typically adopted it to increase fuel efficiency, using a rel- atively small and efficient engine for most running-around and com- muting use and tapping into turbocharged reserves of power only when needed. Of course, their education in developing stronger materials and better control electronics pays off in spades for those enthusiasts looking to wring more power out of their existing cars, and Group 2’s staff have acquired quite a bit of knowledge in how to apply this. Things have come a very long way since John (in his native South Africa) put a BMW 733 engine into a 528i and bolted on the KKK turbocharger from a Por- sche! It was definitely exciting, he reported, but he never did get it to run properly.

    Club Maserati France MODENA la lettre du Club Septembre 2013 Le mot du Président Chers Amis. Gorgés de soleil comme les fruits, déstressés, ayant pris du recul sur les événements, éloignés des villes, vous allez enfin pouvoir retrouver la civilisation « maseratiste » par trois événements dont vous aviez connaissance par le programme club 2013 et la lettre de Juillet. Corse du 29 septembre au 4 octobre, Dordogne du 12 au 13 octobre (le dossier ne tardera pas à vous parvenir), Lyon Epoqu’Auto du 8 au 10 novembre où le Club sera présent avec trois Mistral pour fêter les cinquante ans de cet élégant modèle crée par Pietro Frua. Un article sur Pietro Frua lui est consacré dans la suite de la lettre. La nouvelle Ghibli est particulièrement appréciée lors des essais réalisés dés son lancement. Amateurs, collectionneurs, propriétaires considèrent que Maserati a joué une très belle carte avec ce modèle décliné en plusieurs versions dont la Diesel (ce qui choque les puristes). Le positionnement financier de la gamme est aussi un atout. Il semblerait que d’autres modèles soient en gestation pour un avenir proche, la famille s’agrandit : les maseratistes apprécieront. Cordialement à tous. Jean-Pierre Lasartigues Bienvenue aux nouveaux membres.

    MAKING ITS MARK 4 HISTORY 20 FEATURES 5 QUADRIFOGLIO 23 WHEELS 8 Q4 AWD 25 EXTERIOR COLOURS 9 ALFA DNA DRIVE 26 INTERIOR FABRICS MODE SELECTORS 30 INTERIOR TRIMS 10 PERFORMANCE 11 INTERIOR 13 TECHNOLOGY 15 SAFETY & SECURITY 18 CARBON PACKAGE 19 NERO EDIZIONE PACKAGE CONTENTS / 2 3 LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKE HISTORY The courage to reach further — it’s what sets this brand, its designers and its drivers apart. Racing still serves to prove and inspire Alfa Romeo design, long known to be geared for both track and street. It has produced a wide range of innovative vehicles that are now hailed as classics. From the 8C 2300 (which won the 1931 Le Mans) to the Giulia GTA (taking several 1960s European Touring Car Championship titles) to the Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti (an Italian Superturismo series champ in the 1990s), Alfa Romeo continues to push ahead in order to proudly look back. HISTORY / 4 DRIVING FORCES For well over a century, Alfa Romeo designers and engineers have built a legendary brand by achieving remarkable symmetry: their goals of creating heightened emotions and developing innovative technology are passionately pursued in equal measure. These defining principles inspire everything from our most powerful Formula 1 entries to today’s Giulia Quadrifoglio — all clocking in world-class performance laps on racing’s most challenging tracks. The main takeaway from the unique, driver-centric design of Alfa Romeo? A relentless intensity that transforms every road — and every passenger. Quadrifoglio shown in Rosso Competizione Tri-Coat.

Belt length, tensioner and pulleys all have all undergone small changes - and not necessarily the same for Alfa, Lancia and Fiat - in an effort to improve drive performance. As a result, the Fiat group now only offers 1 belt size for this drive: the OE/OES references are 55189679 and 71734476. the Gates Micro-V® XF replacement belt is 6PK1835. This means that the 6PK1840 that was previously recommended on some of these applications, should no longer be installed on this 1.9 JTD + AC drive. An overview of the adjusted specifications is attached. Should you have any further questions or remarks, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
