amazing! Looks like a nicely done shop BTW

so what are the actual hp figures you are trying to achieve?

Carolina Dyno

That will really be up to the owner. By the time we're done with it I would estimate it could make upwards of 1000whp but there a lot of variables I don't know about the internals (we didn't build the long block).

Joe and Roger flew down this morning to give the Ferrari a test drive and were very pleased with the end result! After an hour or so of putting it through its paces, here is a snap shot of everyone checking over the car and discussing future modifications

Wow, dont know how I missed this one. Beautiful car, not many things sound better than a turbo Ferrari! Would love to thave the chance to correct the paint on this one! Sub'd.

Don't worry there will be more to come, we're currently ordering parts for a custom turbo setup.

what did it end up putting down on the setup before they decided to go bigger? why did they decide to re do the setup?

car sounds great in the vid btw

Carolina Dyno

It put down 600, he wants it to spool faster and the old setup had primaries to big for the small displacement engine. It should still make well over 600 on the new setup. We're also going to replace the turbos with a billet version.

So it's been awhile, we had a long wait for some 321 tubing and a couple collectors from Burns but you can't beat the quality... I've been hard at it the last couple days working on the manifolds. I won't have much time this week but I'll post updates as I go.

I form the tube into the flange and weld with 347 rod on the inside and Silicone Bronze on the outside.


Everything is back purged.


I had a tough time getting a decent installed picture, or any picture of them for the matter...


You can see the difference in the 321 weld on the right and the 304 on the left, I've always found 321 to be more opaque when it's welded properly.


I have the other side about wrapped up but I really haven't been able to get very good photos of anything. I'll push the car outside when it's done for some decent pictures in better light.

We can't wait to fire this thing back up. It should be a whole new car.

Interesting. I was just discussing with someone in Yokohama about some custom F40 upgrade turbos I'd be working with. I'll pm you some info on what we found as a better combination if you're at all interested.

Holy Chit.

Didn't realize you guys were in Wilmington.

Might have to stop by and say hi to Randy and maybe catch a glimpse of an F40. One of my favorite cars ever.

SPOOLINmatt

thats quite a hondaish sounding v8 haha.

There is actually a reason for that. Ferrari uses a flat plane crank in all their engines which means the firing order and exhaust pulse energy is basically identical to two 4 cylinder engines.

MalcolmV8

I thought the same thing.

What a badass project. At first I thought it was from a TV show I saw recently when flipping channels... forget the name of the show but the shop was called Grease Monkey and it looked like they had an F40 there were doing a turbo build on.

Carolina Dyno

I finally got some time to get back on the F40, the passenger header is all mocked up. I should have the headers wrapped up Monday. Hopefully this thing will be back on the road shortly...

Wow that's alot of jogging around for the runners, interested to see how it all comes together

Carolina Dyno

I should have some final install pics tomorrow but in the meantime the collectors are welded up and the runners are all tacked up. I should have the last few finish welded first thing in the morning.

Such sexy work

I wish I could afford things like this!
