Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Twin-Turbocharged 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole for sale on BaT Auctions - ending December 22 (Lot #62, 108) | Bring a Trailer

[Brian Keegan (bks281]

I drove a 1984 German market twin turbo car back in the late 1980’s. The turbos kicked in around 4000rpm and you had to watch the tach and shift pretty much as soon as the boost joined the party!

Yes and 350 really isn't much for that engine.  Norwood and Koenig did many of these upgrades back in the 80s and 90s.  You just can't go crazy.

Peter, good point but a proper coating job and good (safe) tuning can get you there also if you're not going for the Gold in RWHP.

True, but both it and the 288 GTO that came before had detail differences that made them more reliable. One key modification were oil sprayers to cool the undersides of the pistons (there were two rails that ran down both sides of the block edge and had little nozzles pointing up. They’d spray a fine mist of engine oil to cool the pistons. I don’t see or know of any tuner shop that adds this to turbo builds). Mind you, in some high boost mods, tuners will coat piston tops with some sort of ceramic coating for heat shielding.

 

Not my cup of tea. I’d rather have the GTO or the F40. Or this:

It has been done - the F40 engine is based on the 308 block.  Not the least expensive path for sure.

I'm guessing he means, for example, the bow on the left in this image:

Anthony ponders . . . “Why is the center console on every 308 and 328 bowed in like that? “

 

Bowed in?  Where?  What picture?  I’d like to learn something. I don’t recall our ‘78 has any bowing.  Maybe so.

 

Thanks Anthony
