Talk:Alfa Romeo Twin Spark engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Other Applications section

Does anyone else here think this section is unnecessary? The idea of using 2 spark plugs per cylinder, dates back before the Alfa Twin Cam racing engines of the 1960's to earlier racing engines and aircraft engines. Should we add every twin spark plug aircraft engine [1][2][3] to this section of the page, or should this page only cover Alfa Romeo twin spark engines? --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 12:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I think there should be different page to twin spark technology? and keep this page only for Alfa engine Typ932 08:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] T series Toyota engine utilized Alfa Romeo Twin spark design

Can anyone explain what this comment in the page means? Did they get a license for the use of an exclusive Alfa Romeo patented design... or did they simply use 2 sparks plugs per cylinder? --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 12:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC

[edit] Other Applications

The 4 cylinder T series Toyota engine utilized Alfa Romeo's Twin spark design for its World Rally Championship engine, the 4t-gte. It was also applied in the consumer version of that engine, the 3t-gte, and is a relatively sought after design in semi-classic Toyota tuning circles.

The 1.9 litre 6 cylinder inline Porsche engine set in the racing-only 911R (of which twenty were produced) utilized the twin spark design in a souped up engine from the 911T. Production ran from 1967 to 1969 and the change to twin spark helped boost the engine's output from 130hp to 210.
