Alfa 155 Q4 and Lancia engine inter-changeability
Posted: August 24th, 2011, 1:12 pm
I am sure some of you have noticed some surplus brand new OE Lancia 2.0 16V turbo engines floating around the net - I am trying to find the equivalent Lancia engine that is the same as the Alfa 155 Q4 engine.
There are different models for the kappa, Delta Integrale, Evo, Fiat Coupe 16v etc etc. I have tried online EPR but the part numbers are completely different. obviously the Fiat 16 Turbo should be more or less the same but is it exactly the same.
Also, for example, some say the Lancia cranks are forged whereas the Q4's are not, what is the truth?
Is the 2.0 16V Kappa engine inter-changeable with the 155Q4? (I realise that sumps etc may need to be changed).
Does anyone have a useful table of which engine goes where and if these have been stored a for a few years how much realistically waht would be needed to re-commission. I ask because having read through my copy of Guy's new book (no138), the sections about preparation and dirt, etc in the workplace makes me wonder about long term storage and corrosion, etc. and whether most of the internals have become museum pieces only! Certainly it has made me clean up my garage!
Apologies if these questions are a bit basic but I have a 1993 Q4 that needs resurrection and trying to work out whether to go down the engine rebuild route and/or maybe a new engine or even have one as a reserve for years to come.
