Anyone familiar with this horsepower upgrade and which Ferrari models could use this mod? http://www.splitsec.com/mafkits/MAFkits.htm
"In general the universal kits are compatible with most Motronic air flow meter systems. The kits do not work with L-Jetronic systems." But your 348 doesn't have Jetronic, does it? Dang, your subject line got my hopes up!
That is an upgrade for an existing Motronic EGI system, not a mechanical CIS system like the K-Jetronic. The K-Jet would have to be replaced with a full EGI setup. It's been done, search the archives. IIRC, 30 to 50 HP gains have been reported with 4V engines. Similar to/slightly better than converting those engines back to carbs.
forgive me for being a bit ignorant about these things but does ya know if it would fit the Mondial 3.0 QV system and any idea on approx cost? Ta!
The Mondial QV uses K-Jetronic, see my earlier post. A conversion to full EGI is roughly $2K - $3K in parts, then there's install time labor, & dyno time to get it tuned right. A turn key job would probably cost you upwards of $5K. You might want to consider the Nick's Forza/snj5 supercharger conversion for not much more $.
What my hero Verell meant to say... Nick's Forza (FChat sponsor) has both supercharger and EFI kits; there are also several excellent FChatters (including Verell) offering excellent threads on their EFI/supercharger conversions with lots of posted how-to's. I'm the carb guy that retro-fit a qv to four Webers, and have several (too many?) threads on the conversion and development with dynos and tuning suggestions. The very short story with just a Weber retro-fit is that it is bolt on in about a weekend once you have everything. The ignition is left alone. Manifolds/gaskets: $1000-$1500 Four Weber 40 DCNF-12: $1000 - 1500 (suggested jetting 145/F24/210/52) Fuel pump: $100 Linkage/ new hose: $200 Air cleaners: a la carte (don't get me started ) That's all there is to it. Weight savings: 30# typically HP gain: about 30, but feels like more due to increased throttle response over K-jet and sound. I've just ported/polished my retrofit going to 44DCNFs, and should have initial new dyno in a week or so (see yet more self-absorbed threads) Mine has been on carbs for about 5 years, and has been bulletproof reliable. It's just so simple. Whatever you decide, have fun! Here's a 3.2 qv with Webers and stock ignition, which dyno'd about 238 - 243 rwhp (about 286 - 290 at the flywheel): Image Unavailable, Please Login
