Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Testarossa starter

[Peter Pless (ferrarilist]

The one to get is the BB512 Carby. I had one for many years and loved the ownership experience.

As usual, the USA model might be rubbish, which is unfortunate.

The problem with the early boxers is the same with the series 1 TR 

The transmission transaxle 

And the cars have the shitty fuel injection system Bosch K like the early 308 have 

So what you're really getting is an early flat 12 cylinder car with major issues 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

 

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

 

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

Nah, I'm watching BBi prices in Europe, especially with the way the Euro is trading.  I may be the only Gen-X Ferrari collector that has zero interest in getting a cheese grater bigger than what Williams Sonoma keeps in stock...

This good solution to a common problem almost makes me want to go out and buy a Testarossa.

 

Almost.

Guys it will still give you problems

You have to install a remote relay inorder for the problem to go away

 

Clyde's right if you use the same old Bosch part that is subject to the heat sink issue. The solenoid location is integrated with the TR starter, and sits RIGHT where it's gonna get max heat.

 

However, the difference when you have the WAI and Bosch units in your hands is staggering. The WAI is a far superior unit, and is designed to withstand the heat far better. I got mine for about $30, so for that price, it's worth it to me to have a spare on hand and just swap it out if I ever get the issue again. Which (since I have the spare at the ready), I probably won't. ;)

 

I didn't want an additional remote relay unit mounted in mine, so I went this route. It slides right into the existing cavity, and nobody can tell any difference from stock unless they're REALLY looking at the connectors.
