How They Could Turn My Alfa Romeo 4C Into A 450BHP Monster!!!

Alfaworkshop can turn my Alfa Romeo 4C into a 450BHP Monster!! Find out how in this video! If you have an alfa romeo 4c then alfaworks is the place to come. Firstly they know the alfa romeo 4c inside out and have worked on so many over the years. They are currently developing their own car which will soon be offered to customers which will bore out the 1.75 engine and make it run a 2.0 with a twinscroll turbo!
this is something that will be pretty amazing and i am sure you will agree. 450bhp in an alfa romeo 4c will be insane!!
my main reason for coming to Alfaworkshop was to get my car serviced. i also show you the contact points on how to jack up the car correctly!

[@StefABtv]

Haha yep! They are awesome! :)

[@thelonedart916]

Alfa just makes such beautiful and captivating cars. Absolutely love my 4C Launch

[@ZoneTelevision]

I knew it. There’s so much more power under the hood of that 4C . It’s easily 7 min Nurernburgring car with the proper set up.

[@llavero5]

"easily" hahahaha Lotus Exige V6 did 7:53 with a lot more downforce, a close weight and 350hp. 7 minuts did a 488 Pista, so dont be silly.

[@Saif0412]

7 mins might be pushing it, but it will definitely be rocket though, Power to weight ratio will be ridiculously high with 450bhp.

[@Eidrian111]

What the actual fuck is Nurernburgring???

[@RobertKarlBerta]

@@llavero5 Stock ALFA Giulia Quadrifoglio with automatic trans. did it in 3 min 28 sec. recently beating its own record previously set with a manual trans. A stock 4C did it in 8 min. 4 seconds. Modded 4C are running that are a LOT faster than the stock one.

[@llavero5]

@@RobertKarlBerta Giulia Quadrifoglio dont have automatic, probably is a dual clutch gearbox. 3' 28"? you mean 7' 28"? its was a video game lol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGPWp62Gas2pY5o Of course modded 4C is faster than stock, like all modded cars, and? go down from 8 minuts to 7 is extremely difficult. Power to weight ratio has no sense when you need to fight vs aero drag, weight cant do nothing. What is the max speed can reach a car with 1 hp and 1 kg weight? (impressive ratio 1:1) maybe 30 mph?. Caterham R500 with 450kg and 233hp did 7:55 and power to weight ratio is even better than a 4C with 450hp. Well, the caterhams are a disaster in aero drag, plus "low" power make them slow in high speed straight line. Maybe a 4C 450hp modded too with massive downforce can reach 7:15 Exige 430 Cup, 430hp, close weight and more downforce than the 4C is a perfect reference reference. But you can see here a GT3 RS with worse hp/eight ratio is a lot faster (3 and 4 seconds) in this tracks: fastestlaps.com/comparisons/ujp2hz7f56ol So in a track 6-7 times longer like Nurburgring would be around 20-25 seconds slower, like i said 7':15" - 7':20"

[@johnny-S]

I always use these guys to service my 4C, as not only do they do a better job than a main dealer but they've saved me a lot of money in comparison to the main dealer too!

[@richardbdop8741]

You've been using my Giulia Quad as a backdrop there Stef. Glad I washed it now before it went in for its service!

[@StefABtv]

Haha awesome dude! Stunning car :) it looked stunning!!

[@tredfxman]

Awesome content mate! Beautiful Black 4C! Enjoy your new Mods! 👍

[@Sa3Tv]

Really pushing the boundaries here! Would be awesome to get your 4c at that level. Planning on getting my s3 up to 450 as well ✌

[@StefABtv]

Yeah it would be mental man! Can’t wait to see theirs when it’s done!

The problem is, if you keep squeezing HP from the 1750, reliability will suffer, sooner or later,, ka-boom, so better go and buy a Giulia QV, 510 out of the box and 600 just with a simple tune.

[@1barnet1]

Wished that beast would fit in an 4c though. But that would be faster than most Ferrari’s if done properly. And that’s blasphemy in Italy.

[@ssoffshore5111]

What has to be done to the DCT to handle that power? I thought the DCT was the limiting factor on these cars?

[@ro63rto]

Great workshop! I travelled all the way from South London to get my belts done as they were recommended by most on my Alfa forum and they were way cheaper too.

[@MD-uu5nt]

Alllllll the way from South London?!?! Wow! Sorry for the sarcasm, but that's not exactly a big trip!

[@ro63rto]

D 180 Mile round trip. Considering there are at least 4 other Alfa specialists that are nearer ......

[@rneoman]

Same engine is in the 159 1.8 TBi, so it's possible for that also

[@-Diceman]

Very cool, I'd be interested in doing an engine swap into a Ferrari engine and have it take up the entire rear. It's just hard to find a lightweight Ferrari engine that isn't gonna throw the balance crazy off. Rn I think the 3.6 L V8 360 engine might be the best option for that but I'm not sure.

If you are going big Turbo, ridiculous boost, etc, better to use the former version of the 1750 Tbi, of the firsts Giulieta QV and last versions of 159, the block is iron, not Alu, much better for serious serious engine mods.

[@StefABtv]

Ah man that’s a shame :( but they can definitely give advice and help with tuning I would think :)

[@R0cketRed]

Someone needs to replace that 1.7L alfa engine with a 2.0L 4g63 and turbo that. If Someone could get nearly 1k hp into that beauty weighing only 0.9kg, it would be the same power to weight ratio as the 1 to 1! Ha that's my thinking 🤔 but I bet that would be a lot of R and D but still would be a hell of a lot cheaper than the 1 to 1.

Not sure mate. Drop them an Instagram message and see if they can do it :)

[@AndieBlack13]

No, it would not be legal on the street in the USA. The emissions would virtually impossible to meet in a high boost turbo configuration, moreover, the power delivery would be intolerable, 2000 RPM and your making 120 HP. 2500 RPM, 200 HP, 3500 RPM 300 HP,...etc. Plus, no doubt, the transaxle could not take the torque....and would grenade in short order.

I never get this stuff. Why not just get the giulia Quadrifoglio. That's wat I did. If you want to spend more money spend it wise. personally don't like all the tuning upgrades. I would be afraid of it. Can't believe a tuned 4c will drive nicer than a Quadrifoglio. I smile every day I start her up.

[@jerrycube6244]

Dirk Cuypers I love my QV more and more every day but the allure of the beautiful little mid-engined 4c is still there...

[@dirkcuypers6669]

@@jerrycube6244 yes, as a car on the side. Not to replace it. If I had to pick only one I would pick the qv every single day. That's only my opinion.

[@MD-uu5nt]

Well your Giulia is never going to get close to the driving experience of a 4C which is much more hardcore. A 450bhp will be much much faster than a 503hp Giula QV and a hell of a lot more exciting. Much more uncomfortable of course but many times more exciting. Tuned cars are more fun than regular cars.

[@Bobitrust95]

@@dirkcuypers6669 Your QV just weight +1000lbs as compared to the 4C. It's a pork. No amount of power can compensate the rules of physics in corners 😬 And we talk about a 450hp 4C, it would pull like a 600hp Giulia in the straights.

@@MD-uu5nt If you are in the game, you know that reliability will suffer, a lot, if not the engine, the gearbox, the transaxle, sooner or later at full boost something is going to explode. I played a lot, with many cars, big turbos and stuff, don't fool yourself, you know is going to happen.

[@StefABtv]

They are awesome there I agree

[@furtivedig]

are 450hp going to the standard tct?

[@RobertKarlBerta]

Not for long sadly. The stock clutch and trans will handle 300 hp and a bit more....but 450 will mean kevlar clutches at least.....some other beefing up also. But for the cost of this 450 hp engine you would be a fool to not go all the way wit those upgrades plus all the suspension mods including Nitrons, AW spacers, and especially the lower rear arm with uniballs instead of the stock rubber bushings. That last one should be the first one done as it will make a huge difference when tracking with stickier tires.

[@jacopo952]

@@RobertKarlBerta I expect the TCT to grenade itself, it would probably easier to stick a sequential if they can find one that fits. I am always being intrigued by these spacers. Beats me that the engineers who designed it just did not do it right...puzzled

[@RobertKarlBerta]

@@jacopo952 Sequentials are fine for racing but not for day to day operation....also from those that run sequentials on race cars they are quite expensive as they need to be rebuilt very often evidently after just a handful or races. The 4C DCT per ALFA design spec is good for up to 350 ft. lbs. max. so that is a good guide to use but there are other weak spots pushing that much power. The clutch would be meeting its limits and 3rd gear is also the weakest link in the trans. Overall though even modded they are quite bullet proof even though they are close to or beyond their design parameters. When you start pushing any drive train beyond the factory specs you are entering dangerous $$$ territory.

[@furtivedig]

@@RobertKarlBerta what you are saying suggests they are not using a sequential gearbox on a heavily modified 4C because you would have to attend to it more often than say a Corolla owner would want? I understand your point, however 450hp through the gearbox would need some revisiting, as you say, clutch and more. if is possible you would make the tct work, I just don't know how :)
