Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 Mods

[Misc (misc]

I remember Ric Rainbolt successfully installed a turbocharger on his 308, he
would be a great contact if you decide to go the super/turbo route

A friend here in NH is in the same boat - his motor has been dis-assembled,
and is thinking the same thoughts.  After some conversations with REAL
knowledgable people, a hotter Cam coupled with high-compression pistons
using better-sealing rings and modern metallurgy would be the biggest bang
for the buck.
 
Another route is to go with a Motronic/Haltech custom-injection system -
these systems have been documented on FChat quite a bit, but the people who
go this route have a multi-month science project ahead with expen$ive
dyno-time coupled with constantly mapping and re-mapping the computer
coupled with sensor mount fabrication/calibration and all sorts of
headache.....there's horsepower there to be gained, but there is no
documented 'starting point' to simplify the tuning process or give you a
solid point of reference to get the motor running.....

Verell Boen is 'slowly' installing a Supercharger on his pure-Euro 308 QV,
which would also work on a 2V motor.  There is a great deal of fabrication
to stuff the plumbing under the plenum, and there is a need to re-route a
few things, but much of the engineering has already been done (the system
was on someone else's car before Verell bought it, that someone-else is
working on stuffing a V-12 from a 400i into the back of a 308). 
 
On another note, I have seen at least one if not two successful
installations of 355 engines into the back of a 308......but that's another
beast entirely.

What would you guys do to a 1980 2v injected 308 to get more normally
aspirated hp and reduce weight?

I know I could:

1. Go to Fchat
2. Install Chevy V8

But what upgrades have listmembers done to achieve some modern hp increases?

I'm thinking a set of hot cams, ported heads, 10.5 pistons and EFI would do
it.

Thoughts?
