I've had two MB6's both were in excellent condition and as much as Johnnycoupe would like to believe the engines are different between the UK and JDM versions of the B18C4 the only differences are the engine map which are interchangeable and a slight compression difference

6% isnt slight when you then go onto talk about the engine calibration where compression ratio is a key part of your ignition timing. What did any of the Mb6 modified in such a manner run on a rolling road? The same p72 map on my car ran 5bhp less on a very similar modded B18c4 in Rover hatch.

You're going back 6 years, log into HR and search for the threads, they are there.

Your car had a P72 as standard didnt it? The whole point in fitting a P72 to an MB6 was so that it could A, take advantage of the Si standard map for the higher RON fuel and B, be socketed and chipped for the likes of Chrome as the P9K was useless for that reason

Edited : Anway what the hell are we on about, the fact of the matter is the DC2-R is leagues ahead of the Si why are we going of an tangent

Jonnycoupe · 9 Sep 2011 at 16:35

No idea you seem to be a magnet for tangents? Is it because you're trying to stop going around in circles?

I was actually refering to the JDM OBD1 ECU i ran Crome on. My car was OBD2

Relentless81 · 9 Sep 2011 at 18:07

Tangents and circles? I have no idea, What I do know is that the Integra Si is nothing like a JDM Type-R, if it was then why did Honda even release a Type-R version, end of really.

I'm refering to the fact that the ECUs are interchangeable, simply because the UKDM B18C4 can run the JDM ECU because the engine is practicaly the same

VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO.

I have nothing more to add.

Gosh that thing is nasty, surely they should be about 500 quid by now with all the Omegas etc?

I'm sure they got the colour for that Alfa by colour swatch'ing hospital food. "Too pea, too pea, still too pea, pea soup gruel. Perfect." No wonder it's rare.

NathWraith · 9 Sep 2011 at 21:09

That alfa is horrifying bad

Snaggle · 9 Sep 2011 at 21:22

ok the colour aint great but a super with manual and low mileage its a corking car

[TW]Fox · 9 Sep 2011 at 21:47

Low mileage, I thought it had 85k miles.

Probably because it spent most of it's time at the roadside

Fr0dders · 9 Sep 2011 at 22:26

In fairness the OP did ask for something interesting

I think that fits the bill of "interesting" quite nicely lol.

MissChief · 9 Sep 2011 at 22:44

The V6 would make a lovely noise yes, but it's a 90's Alfa and therefore most likely a money pit.

Fuzz · 9 Sep 2011 at 23:14

How about a LOLvo 850 T5?
Will have some miles on it for 1500 notes but I think that would tick all the boxes you are asking.
