Modifying and Tuning Fiat Lancia Twin Cam Engines Manual
INTRODUCTION:
Many years have passed since the litre-st and tarmac stages of the Wnrltl Rally Championship eehued to the suund ol’ the Fiat- Aharth 12-} and 13] Twin Cams, but such was the success generated by these early cars, in which sn many famous drivers made their name, that right up until the nflieiztl withdrawal of Lancia from the series at the end of 1992, dcrimtiws of tlmsc outstanding powerplants were still in use by the works teams. importantly — as far as we are concerned — this heritage, span- ning over two decades. continues to generate enormous interest among motorspurt enthusiasts seeking a competitive eng‘ne fur their eluhman car.
- This lmnl; is nut about Aharth; for all their greatness. much or what they did was kept tu themselves — perhaps understandably – so little inlbrmation has ever appeared in print- Life would have been much easier if it had. and of course it “fluid hzn’e made fascinating reading! Nearly all the techniques described in this hook. therefore, have had to be derived from scratch.
- The pltilnsnphy ltcltitid me work all Guy Craft Tuning ttver the last nine years has been quite simple — design the parts, test the-m thoroughly. then make them readily atailahle at an afford- ;tble price. A great dud ul‘ hard uutl has gum: iutu estmeting the full potential From this remarkable series of engines, and despite the inevitable heartaches along the way, the pmgress made in establishing the TC :15 such a formidable and \ersatile high- performance tttitterpunt has been a reward in itsell’.
- We hope that the truth at GCT has made a genuine cuntrilmtion to the remnt resurgence of interest in these unique engines and to their popularity amongst both elubmau competitors and high— performance road car enthusiasts. To work in this field is particularly enjoyable. 1″ int and Lancia Twin-Cam owners seem to share a common fascination for the intricate technicalities of special tuning; an increasing number of them have asked me: “Can you supply the parts if I build it myself?” My answer has always been “Yes”, of course, but the purchase has so often been followed by in-depth, extensive telephone queries relating to the build—up and settings! It was in response to this that, two years ago, I discussed the possibility of this book with publisher john Blunsden, of Motor Racing Publications. John had been pleased with the success of Fiat and Laurie Twin-Cums, written by my fi’iend Phil Ward, and to which 1 had contributed a chapter on special tuning; if there was a criticism, I was told by some readers, it was that ‘my’ chapter was not big enough.
- My broad strategy has been to explain to the reader where to source a suitable engine, how to inspect and prepare it for road and competition use, and how to develop an integrated ‘package’ to eliminate running problems as far as possible in order that their precious budget is not wasted on an uncompetitive or unreliable engine. All the methods described are those actually used at GC’I‘ and are tried and tested. 1 hope readers will find of interest the technical justifications for the practical tuning methods described and will be suitably impressed by the section on owners’ cars, the extent of which offers a clear indication of the wide variet y of uses to which the TC can be put.
