My mate once had an alfa...

Now I am sure you have heard all the 'my mate' stores, however I strongly suggest you listen to this one.

This lovely car normally ran on 3cyls, other than when it was running on 2. I probably spent more time pushing it than he did driving it, it cost a fortune to fix, to still not have it running right. It didnt turn very well. And the best fun we had was after it crashed, and we could go stuff it bush bashing, getting revenge on it. That car was the devil. aka alfa 33.

That said if your buying a 2000+ model they shouldn't be too bad.

They are a bit of a lottery, my first car was an alfa sud, had lots of fun and never broke down, 2nd alfa was a 33, broke down almost every day, and a friend of mine had a gtv6, one of the most fun cars I have ever driven, a few problems... Just get an alfa mechanic to go over it with a fine tooth comb, and cross your fingers :thumbsup:

Dear God!!!! ;)

Alfa Romeo need help from professionals....yes, yes you do. Or possibly that is the sign you will leave permanently errected on your fron lawn.

Seriously, if you are mechanically inclined and an experienced panel beater (mucho tin worm) OR you have money to burn get one. As for the newer ones they dont seem to hold their resale and they are FWD.

Save your bucks or better still by a skyline, good luck :nyaanyaa:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
