Car Forum / Alfa Romeo Cars / May 2004Questions from a novice
I'm looking to buy a 156. Can someone please tell me what JTS stands for ? Also, what's the difference between Lusso & Veloce & Turismo. TIA Ash > I'm looking to buy a 156. > > Can someone please tell me what JTS stands for ? Jet Thrust Stoichiometric. It's Alfa's take on direct injection petrol engines. Designed to be efficient (lean burn) at low revs below 2000rpm and sporting/responsive above that. > Also, what's the difference between Lusso & Veloce & Turismo. Luxury, sporting and base-spec respectively. Get a brochure or look at the web site for the details. http://www.alfaromeo.co.uk/ HTH Mark Cheers Mark. One last question , would you say JTS is generally more desirable than TS ? > > I'm looking to buy a 156. > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Mark > Cheers Mark. > > One last question , would you say JTS is generally more desirable than TS ? Overall yes, as it is more powerful and has better torque throughout, though it doesn't sound as nice as the TS according to some. Mark Great, thanks for the info. > > Cheers Mark. > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Mark Keep in mind that the JTS engine is a "normal" 4 spark plug engine and not a 8 plug like the TS (=Twin Spark) Both cylinder blocks are the same, the cylinder heads are different. Both are 16V(alve)  SignatureCiao from Holland AlfistaGJ (Gert-Jan) Alfa red 156 SW 1.8 Madeno tuned (2000) Golden Montreal (1973/4) > Cheers Mark. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > Mark |
