Most sources quote a 15% drive train torque & power loss, so just divide the torque and hp numbers by 0.85. 331 hp at the rear wheels equals...
Here's a dyno run from years ago. http://web.archive.org/web/20000523120250/http://www.acsracing.com/Ferrari.html There was a subsequent run...
IIRC 85 is the normal oil pressure at 2000 or so rpm. My '87 TR's oil pressure (running Mobil 1 15W-50) will run about 135 psi until the oil is...
I may be getting ahead of you with this warning, but when it's time to bolt the starter back into the housing be very cautious tightening the long...
Many years ago I witnessed a now long gone (aka dead) race car mechanic solve a similar issue for one of his customers. Seems the customer had a...
I've been using Mobil 1 15w-50 in my '87 TR for the last 14 years. I'd like to go to a lower viscosity oil, but unless I can verify that other...
Another method for removing bearing races from internal housings is to lay down a short bead of weld on the inside of the race at each of the 4...
I changed to NGK iridiums a few years back. First install just the extender only one click then it's easier to install the cap and push the...
The EU zone folks buy TR UFI filters "right." Perhaps we should look into a group buy....
Looks like a bargain to me, and saves a trip to the hydraulics guy with the big swagging jig or paying $$$$$ to Bosch (if it's even available)....
Every test I've read on K&N air filters leads me to believe that they are a very bad joke indeed. When they are clean they pass way too much dirt...
The outside temperature was about 40 F. today and when it's that cold my TR's oil temp never gets much above 140 F. I'm running Mobil 1 15w-50 so...
Yesterday I pulled the connector for pin 17 from the AMP housing that plugs into the ignition module. This effectively ungrounded pin 17 and...
If the alt belt can be deflected more than about 1/2" when you push on it or it doesn't feel taut when "strummed" take a half turn or so on the...
Let's take advantage of the relatively low compression ratio and launch a group design/build project for bolt-on low pressure turbo kits.
The decrease of compression ratio from 9.2 to 8.7 for USA engines would account for a loss of about 5 hp. So it looks like advancing the timing...
Here are my TR's Kinesis wheels (18" x 8.5" fronts, 18" x 10.5" rears) purchased from a fellow Ferrari lister about 10 years ago. [ATTACH]
The build up of clutch dust on the starter pinion shaft is another area to check.
I use either duct tape or a shop rag with the factory socket. The stuck centerlock put up a major battle and suffered for it. Please define...
The only issue is that if you have to resort to an impact wrench you can kiss the chrome goodbye.
