812 exhaust valves

Unfortunately was told the same when I inquired about plugging the valves, but cant remember any specifics beyond what you mentioned.

 

I had the same idea/question before delivery of my 812.
After driving the first 500 km I do not miss the switch for the exhaust valves at all.
I really think the 812 already has a better sound (starting with low revs) than the F12 with open valves. I do not know how they managed that (considering the recent noise reduction requirements), but that is my personal feeling - I don’t need a valve control anymore...
Please let me know your opinion once you drove your wonderful new 812....

 

Got delivery of my 812 with Capristo back boxes and valve control via remote control. Dealer said valve remote control are also available with OEM back boxes, so it seems to operate the same way as on the F12.

The sound is really great on the 812 with open valves.

I'm seriously consider having the valve thing done on my 812. I had it on the F12 and it was pretty good.

The way my dealer does it is by adding a little switch to the bottom of the steering column.

 

The HELE thing is now forced on everyone by the factory. It's just included now so they can claim better emissions. If anyone has a solution to turn that thing off let me know.

What color tech did you get then if not red? And they forgot the diamond stitching in the headliner? Hopefully my car comes ok.

 

Congratulations!!

 

I asked service about leave HELE as last position instead keep getting back on everytime.
Simple answer is they can’t.

I guess it is BS because tdf has HELE but it stays at last position. Who knows...

I pinned my exhaust valves open, too.

I refer to HELE as “HELL-a”. My service dept also hasn’t found a way to defeat it. Hate that feature & strongly suspect that it’s not beneficial to the engine.

My dealer says they think they can fit the remote for the valves, they have not done one a 812 yet, but they say it looks the same as the F12, I will let you know i the next few weeks.

 

Perhaps that's why they locate the start/stop button next to the door lock button (at least on my GTC4)

 

My dealer fitted the Forza Componenti remote exhaust valve opener on the 812 no problem - took them less than an hour. I fit these on all my Ferraris - they are hand made and fantastic quality-never failed in several years of constant use.

 

Do you know if they have to take the rear bumper off to fit it?

 

No they did not have to do that at all

Thanks for the update.
I have been told the dealer can turn the HELE off. I will let you know if thats the case when I get the car in 3 weeks.

 

So a lot of manufacturers are going to the electronic exhaust valves however I'm almost 100% certain that the 812 still uses vacuum actuated valves like the previous models. The simplest solution is going with the Novitec Switchtronic which allows you to open and close the valves from inside the cabin (through a wireless button in the cigarette lighter.) Retail is $690 for the part and its usually in stock. Here is the video of the functionality on a 458 spider.

So they opened without installing anything? Are u sure ? Thanks

 

So is that all thats necessary pug in the gizmo into the cigar lighter and then it works?

 

Is this a change you can do yourself on the 812 or doesn't it need to be done by the service guys?
