Hi JtdWS, weld (best WIG/TIG) cast iron piece same way and place as on vacuum actuated turbo (fine thread vtg lever stop screw) and search same vtg point (96% closed). Then make vacuum for example with big old fuel pump electrically and create with bypass (to calibrate) good gauge (i use 2 gauges to make middle value) EXACT - 0,6bars. The stop screw must touch the lever at - 0,6bars.Test with little paper stripes. So the turbo is prepared for use... 🤗
Hello everyone, I want to write, in my life, I have never had an Alfa Romeo car, but my friends had one, I really wanted to see from the outside how and what the Alfa is capable of, in terms of the engine, that is, how much it can withstand the power in the engine and the torque, but today I saw this, and you know, I would like to say and wish everyone to go for their dreams and realize it, since there is only one life. Just thanks to the author of the video of this channel. Peace ✌
Very nice work in a really nice car! I don’t drive so much so i stay with my 3.0 220 HP V6 Busso in my 166. If the day comes that i drive more then i need such a 2.4 Diesel too!
Hi, it really depends on how worn the clutch is. If "like new" this clutch can handle a lot of torque! There are very strong plates from Ferodo on the market and Stage 2 from JTD Performance / Netherlands is gigastrong. Two years with no problems😊
Hi lubomirivanov, yo i still have this car. I made a 'new' engine with lower compression ratio, other Injectors, lghter H-beam rods and some good stuff. Only software and warmer weather (without rain) is missing 🤗🔧
Yeah of course. But it's nothing special. It is the stock GM F40 6-speed gearbox from this 156 20v. Only upgrade with Quaiffe torsen diff. is a good thing🔧💪

Hello, I have watched this video so many times. Maybe my favorite Alfa video. I'm having an 159 2.4 with big plans. I have one question for you. What diesel do you prefer? I' mostly fueling Cirkle K (Statoil) Miles. But, thinking about switching to B0. Called marine diesel with 0% biodiesel. What do you think?
Hi😊 0% Biodiesel ist best choice of course. Where do u come from? Here in Germany i can get premium diesel from Shell "V-Power Diesel" and Aral "Ultimate Diesel" 👍💪 In Germany i can get NO marine synthetic diesel GTL (Shell, means: Gas To Liquid). I bought it in the Netherlands to try out. Super Stuff! Absolute no smoke and more power. But burns hotter, so software has to be changed for lower EGT'S. So because it's not available here i go with ARAL Ultimate 0%Biodiesel and better Cetane grade.
Yes, 308 can deliver this power BUT you have to begin with electrical tank pump (build in a much stronger), then minimum R90 CP3 high pressure pump in very good condition and one new pipe back from engine bay to tank for diesel backflow without pressure.
@hjthiessen Sehr geehrtes Thiessen Team, ich habe einen Alfa Romeo 166 2,4 JTD DPF mit 185 PS Besteht die Möglichkeit, dass ich Kontakt mit Ihnen aufnehme. Ich erwäge eine zuverlässige Leistungssteigerung meines Wagens. Nicht nur "Chip-Tuning" sondern: - ggfs größerer Ladeluftkühler - größerer Lader - egr delete (?) Könnten Sie mir einen Link zu Ihnen senden ❓ Es würde mich freuen. LG
Amazing job, such a lot of work for that car, that's brilliant! I'm wondering if it's true that with the time and money spent on a project like this you can have even more power on a similar diesel engine like the MB OM605. I know that they're the benchmark for massive tuning.
The inner drive shaft joint right (Tripode) is the weak point. For this joint it seems to be easier to transfer high Torque when deeper in the shaft hole and straight. The fine needles in the three tripode balls are wearing on the full surface only when drive shaft is in no angle. And the pressure/surface rule says: pressure to more surface devides power. So the drive shaft has best surviving chances in straight position 💪⚙️🔧
Can you tell what thickness the washers under springs are? I’ve tried to find that info everywhere but no luck. I did some measurements how different thickness of shims affect the seat pressure but Im not sure how close to coil bind is safe to go with stock springs.
Hallo, ich finde niemanden, mit dem ich das JTD besprechen kann, um eine Meinung zu meinem 350/380-PS-Projekt zu haben. Wie kann ich Sie erreichen? Danke!
@hjthiessen Is there any updates on the build? I am really looking forward to them, I know you are cooking something big! On my 1.9 16v I have now moved on cp3 r90 with pulley mod, and the remaining injection system from 2.2mjet (674 inj) hoping that the pump will go on over 2200bar, do you have bigger sensor (2400-2500bar) reference you would reccommend using? Previously had R80 and 308 inj but got some complaints from the tuner that that setup wont go over 290hp... Gtd2060vz is in, welded onto stock manifold (only smoothed out, not ported), with 76mm dp but 70mm rest of exhaust. I did not touch engine head (stock springs aswell), hoping it will still do a decent job, without floating (forgot to do it when it was off the block last time)...but still aiming to keep the limiter close to 5500 as the complete engine bottom end is balanced within racing spec. I do not plan to go bigger with turbo nor exhaust, so maybe only the head porting when something decides to die... At what point did you decide to modify the intake manifold, I was hoping only to remove the butterfly from the throtle valve, would it present a big flow block (at 2.5bar, less than 350hp)? Also aside the rest, which low pressure fuel pump (in the tank) are you using? I have seen your reccomendation for aditional water pump but I havent seen my water temps going up much, maybe oem one is enough for 1.9/smaller engine... Stay strong and keep us updated! 💪
Thanks! What about the thickness? Somewhere I’ve heard 2mm, is that right? And are they special made ones or just some generic washers with right diameter? Also does that washer go under or on top of the stem seal plate? I did some measurements and if it goes under the stem seal plate , it wont reach to seal the valve guide anymore.
WOW echt geiler Typ Respekt! Bin per Zufall hier gestoßen. Ich habe eine frage und zwar habe ich mir einen 156 1.9 jtd 8v geholt (115ps) Ich habe bereits einen GT2260v Lader mit Krümmer schon rum liegen. Was müsste noch alles verstärkt werden für Standhafte und gesunde 190-210ps? LLK, Hochdruckpumpe R65, Map Sensor 3.5 oder 4 Bar, Kupplung. Wie siehts mit Einspritzdüsen aus halten die Serie 119er? Noch Tipps oder Empfehlungen? Mir geht es nicht um die Maximale Leistung :) Überlege mir noch einen 2.4 Brera zu holen sind die 20v gute Motoren? Liebe Grüße aus der Schweiz
Hi Ape862, it depends on your goals. Good choice up to 230hp is the GTB2056 from 210hp Alfa 159/Brera. Very good spool. Then comes the GTB2260 from f10/11 BMW up to max.300hp. Both NOT plug&play! Such conversions you can get at "jtd-performance" in the Netherlands.💪
Hey Milan👋 nice to know your interest👍 I'm just building complex new engine over wintertime, cool and relaxed step by step. Lower compression ratio, bigger pump, injectors and turbo. Electric water pump and a lot goodies in fine tuning (ports, exhaust...) i will make new video when the alfa runs good, i promise🤗
hello an alfa 159 2.4 jtdm. my turbo gt2865v do you have a reference for the fuel rail pressure sensor? please, and reference for injector noses thank you
Hi Zoran, i don't understand exactly what you want, but: Use VAG 4 bar MAP and VAG 2000bar Railsensors. Change Software and do logs while driving, look what your pump can deliver during full pull. If you have 308 injectors from 154kw engine, don't change nozzles. They can 400+ with good pump (for example R90) . Only if you want more take bigger nozzles. For software ask pdk chiptuning varna Mr Kostadinov ist absolut specialist 👍👌
Hello yes am Andersten Thanks you so much Am intalling 50% nozzel Intecooler drag racing 2000 mab sensor End 4 bar sensor Am weiting thé definitly Map 🫡💪
Servus sehr geiles Projekt ich hätte mal ne frage ich hab ein 156 2.4jtd mit 140ps hab den rail druck und Ladedruck schon anheben lassen straight pipe ist auch schon drinn wollte mal fragen was ich noch machen könnte das bisschen mehr Leistung ankommt würde mich sehr über eine Antwort freuen
Ja! Sehr gerne. Bei deinem Motor bin ich nicht "voll" im Thema, sicher bin ich mir jedoch, das der Turbolader das Nadelöhr bei dir ist. Ein GTB aus dem 210 PS 159er wäre ein lohnendes Upgrade.Auch ohne Softwareänderung schon viel mehr Drehmoment und Drehfreude oben raus. Bei JTD-Performance gibt es Kits ( Holland/Niederlande) Der Joel dort hat für deinen bestimmt etwas parat. Grüße HJT
@@hjthiessen okay alles klar vielen dank für deine Antwort würde der lader plug and play passen oder müsste man da etwas abändern oder umschweißen bin schon eine weile auch der suche nach einem uprgade lader aber da gibts leider nichts😅
