F8 Just arrived yesterday

Well done!!

 

Appreciate it very much Marcos.. Thanks!

 

congratulations great spec, awesome options ...
well done

 

Those yellow dream lines

Those yellow dream lines on the paddles and CF steering wheel add great contrast. I have the identical spec on my Pista.

 

Stunning!!!!!!
Your car is absolutely beautiful.
Don't apologize for the many pictures as there can never be enough!
Drive her in good health and be ready to answer a lot of questions from the many who will be lusting after her

Regards,
GG

 

Congrats! Enjoy in good health!

Stunning
I’ve ordered Gregio Silverstone also.
But I have about 14 more months before mine arrives
Congrats!

your gonna love everything about it.best built ferrari and end of an era.look forward of your thoughts

 

Congrats! Very nice spec. Which exhaust?

 

Beautiful congrats!
Which exhaust are you going to do?

Wow. It is a $550 part with one hour labor or diy to install.

 

What is the part?

 

Model B4-FP Controller Image Unavailable, Please Login
$535.00
The Model B4-FP controller is a 2-way exhaust controller that is designed for installation in extreme environments as one would encounter in the engine bay of high performance sports cars.

The B4-FP is specifically designed for use in motor cars such as the Ferrari 488 Pista, F8 Tributo

and the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ and other motor cars with very sensitive vacuum control technologies. The installation kit includes two additional vacuum control valves so that the electrical circuit for the controller is completely segregated from the circuit controlling the existing vacuum control valves. This design allows control of the exhaust bypass valves without any error conditions or trouble codes. And you can choose the Normal or Always Open mode at vehicle start.

The controller provides two modes of operation:

1. Normal Mode: The vehicle controls operation of the exhaust bypass valves. This is the stock mode.
2. Always Open Mode: Forces the valves to remain open at all times, overriding the vehicle's ECU.

 

Did you install it yourself? If so, any tips for DIY?

 

Not yet. Awaiting the car.
It does not look difficult--just need to lift the car. No need to remove bumper cover, wheels or any exhaust components. I've done my own sport cats and exhaust bypass in my Porsche GT cars.
If the dealer quotes me 1 hour labor I will let them do it before delivery.

 

Thats interesting.
I’m fairly certain that the bypass valves on the Pista are vacuum actuated, whereas the F8 uses electronically controlled valves. I would think that the controller would be unique to each model.

 

Wow that steering wheel is just awesome!

 

From the manufacturer posting earlier on Fchat (Pista and F8 both pneumatic controls):

The vendors I am aware of are marketing the same controller for the Pista and F8 that they sell for the 458 and 488 GTB. Those controllers connect to the existing solenoid valves and intercept the control signal. Works fine with the 458 and 488. But starting with the Pista the engineers in Maranello programmed the ECU to sense if the valves are open when they should be closed and vice versa. By trying to control the original valves, a situation is potentially setup where conflicts exists and the ECU throws a code.

At Forza we recognized this potential conflict and rather than trying to circumvent this conflict, it was much more logical to segregate the controller from the car’s electronics. The Forza kit for the Pista and F8 has two additional solenoid valves which are controlled via a completely separate control circuit to eliminate any potential conflicts. These two solenoid valves control the vacuum output from the car’s original solenoid valves. The original valves function quite normally as Maranello intended while the supplemental valves are managed by the controller. In this manner, the car’s ECU is not aware that the vacuum application may not be as intended as the ECU is only aware of the original valve’ s electrical position.

 

Wow, congratulations!!
