Finally the shop has their shit together so I can start this car. Its a 91 Ferrari Testarossa with a 93 512TR motor that will be twin turbo'd with a Motec running the show. This is will be a slow build since they only pay me here and there and Im in no rush. Ill get pics of the car. Its nothing special. Not in great shape.

Im making 4 3 into 1 V-banded headers. Flanges and laser cut collectors came from Brad@Brewspeed. Top notch work and really reasonable prices. Stainless is from www.acestainless.com

Pics are grainy since they are taken on my Crackberry.
Victim.

1 header tacked up.

More to come.

CSaddict · « **Reply #6 on:** May 01, 2010, 01:39:19 PM »

That sound about right for that motor if in low mileage.

Very interesting project.

Hows the drivetrain hold up in those? I see cars liek the lambo's getting turbo'd and i have to think either there playing with fire with the drivtrain or there build like the old supra shit. Tough as hell.

CSaddict · « **Reply #9 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:25:57 PM »

Not sure and I really dont care. The shop has dicked around with this car for a year. I just want to get it done and get paid.

Corey · « **Reply #10 on:** May 02, 2010, 03:27:35 PM »

thats the attitude dave lol

he paid 41K for that motor? i wonder how hes gonna feel if mike blows it up tuning it. i would guess theyre pretty bullet proof if they cost that kind of money after 17 years

Dave what turbos will it run?

92CXyD · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2010, 04:00:57 PM »

I believe the cost for Ferrari to make a new one. The have every tool needed to recast another block, head, crank, etc.

The just assign a new serial number on the block as though it was part a continuation of that series of engine. :yes:

Watched a show on the Ferrari factory. The have a large area where the restore customers cars to new condition from the ground up.

Ill check to see what they ordered.

It better be something along the lines of a divided-turbine S4xx or something. If they're something gay like S-trim T4's, tell them you're switching to fluxcore to match the weaksauce turbos.

I recall seeing John Carmack in some automag showing the Ferrari's he owns. 1 or 2 of them were turbocharged at the time, and I know at least 1 was driven a lot. So they aren't exactly weak like an NSX drivetrain...

looks to be a cool project. i want more pics :yes:

This seems to be more cosmetic than anything else. 2 T4's would suck on that 5.0l

At the last shop the guy spent 86000 on it and it doesnt even run.

Lowerit · « **Reply #25 on:** May 06, 2010, 12:57:05 PM »

41K for a used motor? There was a 91 testaroossa on CL this week that needed a service (15K) for $42 Grand.

not questioning the work , or idea, just the mentality.

Well per wiki the 91 testarossa had 380hp/361ft. lbs. and the 512tr has 428hp/362ft.lbs.

The guys doesnt seem to care about money. They told him about $30k for the turbo kit. Just the turbo kit. He dropped off $20k to get started.

He wants to drop off his Lotus next for exhaust.

Fuckin pimp , wonder what he does for a living...

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #29 on:** May 07, 2010, 04:38:08 PM »

I was thinking the same thing. I try to ask everyone I meet that has money what they do in a tactful way to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
