my car being a Canadian model, it has metric gages. Temp after cooling lap is 78C at 80 mph and slowing down over the 2.6 miles long track. I run...
I read this thread started by Birdman with interest. BTW, I got his fuse boxes installed in my 308.. I had cooling issues since I bought my 308 6...
I've read all the posts with great attention. My comment to the group would be that the 308/328 engines are GREAT PLATFORMS for improvement....
Mike, Now that I got rid of the two most limiting factors in enhancing the power of a 308 QV : the K-Jetronic and the Magneti-Marelli...
The kit that Nick sells has several options. You can buy the Tech GT from electromotive. All sensors are standard GM sensors. No mods to the...
I'll keep you posted after Labour Day week-end! In the meantime, I'll enjoy driving the car! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sorry in the delay in replying but three weeks of vacation later, here are the pics of my install. A little detailing is still needed on the...
This is an excellent explanation of the mass vs acceleration phenomenon. The total HP value remains constant. As to the 328 example published...
Does your calculation takes into account the rotational power accumulated by the turning wheel once in movement? Centripetal force will push...
Here's a picture of the cold air intake I had manufactured to replace the original Bosch unit. I'll polish the welds and will get it cermachromed...
Mike, It is entirely possible that the 1989 328 cat is substantially different. Ferrari hasn't published much info on these. I know thhat the...
Mike, Before purchasing an Hyperflow cat, I got all the data I needed from them (and I did compute!) and also from Sterbro for the 100 cell...
In designing an engine exhaust system , the basic rule of thumb is that 2.2 cfm per open-pipe hp means zero loss from backpressure. Now, let's...
Flyingti, In tis case, the CFM tests are real world. Basic mechanical engineering has proven for a long time that back pressure eats up...
Mike, The original Ferrari cat for 308/328 has a flow rate of about 490 CFM. An Hyperflow cat has a flow rate of about 500 CFM. A 60 CFM...
Tommy cosgrove is right, the Hyperflow will eliminate the odours but there is not much HP to be gained. Your engine will run cooler, with better...
I'm not sure the type of dyno make a difference in terms of with or without wheels as the car is not moving, there is no drag and the torque...
Dave, you say: Sounds like you had some other issues with your build-up, The issues were not with the build-up but with the Magneti Marelli...
First, I've got to tell you that I did an engine out service two years ago. Changed the North American pistons (8:9 to 1) for Euro version 9:2 to...
I finally installed the kit purchased from Nick on my 308 QV with one caveat, I didn't install the knock sensor after seeing the dyno results....
