Aye it's been mentioned on here a few times over the last year or so. Pity it has such an uninteresting and underpowered 8v lump in it.
That's what makes it interesting in my books. My understanding was that it was an engless coupe and a diesel unit that was lying around. Just a bit of fun but do agree a modern TD lump would fit the bill nicely.
Coupe now sold!

I've always fancied a coupe with the 1.9JTD multi 150 engine in it... Surely its just begging for a remapped 2.4 Jtd.... About 250 bhp and 350+ lb-ft, along with 40-ish mpg

the 1.9 is good, but the 2.4 would/could suit the Coupe.

For me we already have a good looking diesel coupé available; the Alfa gt. So why bother? Exactly - I wanted a cheap, good looking Italian Coupe that could do 0-100 in under ten seconds AND return close to 50mpg. I couldn't find one, so I kept my Coupe and bought an Alfa GT - best of both worlds....

You'll mess around with insurance for it and not really have anything you couldn't for less effort.

The Alfa GT should of had the 2.4! So much character for a diesel, despite being heavy, they are fine in a 156!!

Hey all. I'm in the process of doing a Coupe diesel.conversion. It's not something I set out to do, but a number of factors lead to it. 1) I killed the engine on my 20VT, after putting a load of work and money into it. 2) my daily work commute went from 20 miles a day to 80. 3) I can't afford the Alfa GT I want. 4) I picked up a crashed 04 marea 110 JTD for handy money. At the start I was hoping to go for a 2.4 conversion, but 2.4 Mareas are very rare. Especially in Eire. And the front would be much heavier. Engine and box are out of the Coupe, now going to start on the Marea. Anybody know if the JTD engine would mate to the 20VT Box? The ratios ar a little out but bearable. It would be nice to keep the viscous drive. Failing that, I'm not sure the JTD shafts would fit the 20VT hubs. Anyway, just introducing myself; I've no doubt I'll be asking questions here a lot before I have roadworthy car to drive. Wish me luck.

Good luck Dr Dave, perhaps it may be worthwhile speaking to Gaz on this forum.
His company did a diesel coupe based on a 16vt and a 2 litre Alfa engine. There may be some useful experience there despite the different engines.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

I haven't seen the JTD 16V in anything the vintage of the Coupe. Marea is about the closest. Anyway, I doubt I could have gotten a driving car with a 16V engine for €300. I think I'll have to take most of the loom with the JTD engine and splice all the wires from the ECU onto the relevant wires of the Coupe. I have all that info for the the Marea, need to get it for the Coupe.
