msisleman Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Seems very good value to be honest! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131457931225?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Makes me wonder how it ended up there for sale, maybe a seriously rear ended FF that got broken for parts... 1
XTR2Turbo Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I assume direct injection and so with 12 cylinders will be a non trivial ecu programming exercise.
Stu Faulkner Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I still want it.. And I don't care what you say after seeing a lambo v12 in a fiat 500 then this will fit in a Wessie. Might not be any bodywork at the front but you can't have everthing. 3
msisleman Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 It is DI yes, and electronic throttles, and variable intake and exhaust cams, and god knows what else. But it's still so awesome! Might be best to get hold of the original ECU to be honest. And then what gearbox would you use?! One can dream.... Still seems priced keenly though for a £50k crate engine.
TAFKARM Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I've got an F12 to type 9 bellhousng kicking around somewhere.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Trouble is these days, the engine ECU wants to see the transmission ECU, both want to see the body control ECU... This engine keeps coming round again, (either that or there are a lot of similar historied FF engines out there!) each time, I seem to recall the story from those that know modern Ferraris, is that while it's a thing of beauty to behold, it's remarkably tricky/expensive to actually do anything practical with it.
msisleman Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Yep. I'm sure it will simply end up back in an FF that has engine issues outside of its 3 year warranty period.
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 How many /Dellorto/Webers would you need to bolt on that then? 1
magellan Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 How about this instead? 271540018048 This Will fit!!!
msisleman Posted April 17, 2015 Author Posted April 17, 2015 I've seen that ad a few times over the years. Just shows how ludicrous the cost of top rallycross is. I cannot even begin to imagine spending £61k on an engine, never mind an "old" YB! Must be a market for them...
