bleeding 355f1 system

My factory pump seems about average but I think I see a project coming up to do the 360 pump conversion just for good measure.

I think he is talking about the union.

Ferrari Parts : 185858 : 185858 RACCORDO SU ELETTROP.COMPL.DI

Yes that is the one,I was wrong it's not $300.00 it's $ 383.17 part # 185858
You will also need a T fitting for the larger hose 5/8 or 16mm make sure you buy a metal one not pastic due to heat .I paid $ 7.00 for the T fitting which also does not come in the kit.

 

Thanks I will be saving this thread for future reference.

 

Found a thread on another forum with some good reading and some bad/good info.

Geeze, it wipes out the website name. Some sort of censorship against team speed dot com? I never heard of the site until today.

 

Just i little update.
I've put 500km on my car and it works great.The best thing that i like is that the F1 system primes in one flush even when it sits overnight,and no more clunky shifts.The 360 pump update is a very easy job to do yourself if you know your way around a car abit, and takes about 8 hrs.Total cost of parts was $1075.00.
If anyone is thinking of doing this update and needs some help..feel free to message me.

That can't be true!!! I have read on the interwebz and this site that F1 pump problems cost $20,000 and involve a weejee board and prayers to the Italian hydraulic gods to repair.

Kidding aside, glad you got it sorted and all is running well. I did the same to mine a few years back. Handled it in my garage on a Saturday afternoon.

 

Does the $1075 include the 360 pump?

 

Yes the $1075.00 includes the pump
