Nice - same grey interior as my 222 4V.

From memory, max tq was achieved around 5200. Very flat curve at the peak - max between about 4600 and 5200. About 330hp at the wheels which I think converts to around 380-400 ballpark. VERY conservative tune as the car was my daily at the time, and I have no interest in owning a hand grenade...

Nice work - my 222 4V uses upgraded Garrett ball-bearing turbo's, grafted on to the IHI exhaust compressor housing. Bosch motorsport fuel pump, uprated fuel injectors, Turbosmart electronic boost controller custom designed and built alloy intercoolers and pipes, blow off valves, air intakes etc...

Never seen that Clarkson clip before. I've owned lots of interesting cars, but the 222 4V is the one I have still got, and it followed me from Australia to the USA, so it must be love...........

Any one carried out a timing belt change on a 24 valve motor? Trying to decide if it is something I can tackle myself or not. Hints or tips? Thanks!

MIE now has the cooling pipe in stainless steel for about USD$85. Nicely made and saved me the trouble.

Have taken it to a machine shop and it does not match any of their thread tools - not even close!

Would anyone know what thread the upper and lower diff cooler holes in the diff are? Seems they are an odd size that no one here has ever seen! This is the lower fitting - which I also need as I am going to try and adapt a different oil cooler setup, after the shippers jacked my car up using...

Is it broken at the latch end or the handle end? I had a similar problem, my mechanics figured it out without resorting to the can opener thank goodness!

Hi there Firstly - sorry for the double postings - there was some delay with my new threads and suddenly both appeared! Car will be trucked up from NY as it has not been run for 4 years and I need to go through everything. Ship due in about a month. Car is currently sightseeing in Singapore...

Probably keep as is. I still drive on the left here anyway, much to the annoyance of the locals!

Hi folks Just found this forum, and thought you might find this interesting. At the moment, my car is on a container ship on its way from Australia to the USA, where I now live on Cape Cod. I have owned my 222 4V for many years - an Australian delivered Maserati and one of only about 11...
