I've never seen this done, if it is possible it would be a very difficult job the orientation of the 16 valve engines is different tilted forward rather than backwards with the exhaust at the front and inlet at the rear. This engine is a tight fit in either the Fiat coupé or the Delta HPE both of which probably have a larger engine bay than a Beta.

Look at this photo at the engine from 155 mine
To easier and my car there is a broken 13 engine
I don't like its small force(power)

That is indeed an Alfa twin spark engine and it looks a pretty good fit in the Beta. It looks like the Beta fuse box has been relocated from the bulkhead to make room. I think the Fiat 16V turbo engine should fit, the Alfa engine is tilted forward slightly less than the Fiat engine. The Fiat's turbocharger will be very close to the radiator fan, but that can be worked around. I think the Beta rear gearbox mount can be used if the diff rear casing from Beta gearbox is fitted to the Fiat gearbox. Then you have to fabricate two front mounts to suit the brackets on the Fiat engine and gearbox.

In this photo not my car (this car from ukraina)
I do not think that there will be problems with турбокомпрессором after all on delta of a place even less
I want to put the engine together with a transmission and to make fastenings

well I have to say I remain unconvinced, I used to own a Delta HPE HF 2.0 and the engine bay was VERY full I'm not saying it couldn't be done but it would be difficult to engineer correctly and would probably ruin a perfectly good Beta which would be a shame
