[@BBowerr]

Removing DI can cause issues. Keep in mind that the fuel running through the injectors is also used to cool them. This means if you remove them and replace with a solid stopper to reseal the combustion chamber you can end up with a hot spot causing preignition or detonation. Check with some specialists before moving ahead on this one.

[@gerber8915]

YESSSSSSS he's gonna lose HALF the rated horsepower with that choice

[@BBowerr]

@gerber8915 That wont happen. The VE of the engine isn't changing. There is just the risk of creating a hot spot in the combustion chamber.

[@Valentin359]

@@BBowerr DI way more efficient, and that's one of the main reasons why that engine evolved from 600 to 800hp

[@BBowerr]

@@Valentin359 but di is limited on both control and Max flow. A port injection is much easier to setup, service and upgrade. The issue with port injection is emissions, not power limits.

[@lasskinn474]

@@BBowerr the direct injection is part of the whole knock equation and that does matter to the max power(you can just run different gas tho i suppose). but eh that it's a longitudal into a transverse car is a bigger thing.

[@1234567890CAB]

Leave the direct injection system in place, that way you can implement a dual injection system. A dual injection system can increase the output of the engine. Another thing you can do with dual injection is inject a lean mixture through port injectors, and then use a small direct injection pulse to create a rich pocket near the spark plugs to ignite the entire mixture. I understand these features are out of most tuner's league or ability, but you can start small by just switching which fuel system is used based on driving conditions. Basically I'm trying to say by incorporating both systems, you won't need to make a custom solution for deleting the direct injection system and you leave more potential tuning options open for the long run, even if you only run port injection at first.

[@Ensaumneak]

I was going to say. The heads, pistons, and combustion chamber are all designed to use direct injection. I think switching to port only injection would lose a ton of power and efficiency.

How is it underapreciated? NA cars prices increased so much (458, 991.1, E9x, etc). Porsche even went back on 718s GTS from turbo to NA. GT3s are special for a reason. It’s just that due to emissions they are not as common, but definitely appreciated.

Direct injection isn’t really that much more complex to setup; provided you have an engine control system that’s capable. Direct injection provides a performance benefit by increasing the air density in the cylinder! That’s a nice perk on an NA engine especially. MoTec has software to run DI.

The F40 was derived from the 288 GTO and 288 GTO Evo. The 288 GTO was designed for the Group B category (was used for sports cars as well as rally). Under the rules for Group B, turbo engines had an equivalence factor of 1.4. The 288 GTO had an equivalent capacity of just under 4.0L, which was one of the weight/capacity points in the regulations. The weight at 4L was 1,100kg. A V-12 of the same power would have meant a car that was 135kg to 200kg heavier.

Bruh... Direct injection is one of the main reasons why it so effective and can output 800 hp from 6.5 l of displacement. If you want to have that much output, you need to use not only the direct injection, but also stock intake and exhaust manifolds, because all of that was designed specifically to work together and make it as powerful as it possible for NA engine. Without all of that it would be very good if you will be able to achieve 650-700 hp. (like in Enzo) Heads on that engine has shape optimised for DI and have ports for injectors, what are you going to do with that? Weld them up? If you wanted something primitive and easy to work with - you should have bought Mercedes M120 v12 and put turbos on it...

had to scroll to find someone worried about this also. Converting a DI engine and getting it to work seems like considerably more effort and pain than just learning DI. you will lose power and efficiency. Also may have a chance to harm the engine that you paid soo much for

[@dbnewman89]

@@soccerboy556 Haltech are sponsoring and do not support DI yet... the real reason

[@adamcox3317]

Agreed. With the compression ratio being so high I really think not running the direct injection system will inhibit its power potential and may even be a reliability concern if a high enough octane fuel isn’t used. I know the use of the haltech is driving him not wanting to run it. I hope he comes up with a solution to run it as it’s an awesome project!

[@GuillaumePugnet]

@@dbnewman89 that's probably one of the reasons. It is not that complicated to setup, several modern aftermarket ECU supports 12 cyl DI. I don't believe he will be able to achieve great results by removing the direct injection. At least, it will stay NA .

Amazing engine choice! I’m already in love with this project. It’s going to be sick.

[@The_Original_Q]

Mike I got goosebumps hearing that engine sing. I've been here since the beginning. Love your content and skill set.

Bringing the best of the F40/F40LM and F50's legacy is passion for Ferrari engineering at its peak. The level of research and design behind this project is insane. I'm speechless

[@Xavier-R]

I was a bit scared on the engine choice last episode... that fact you went balls deep with a f140 did not disappoint

[@UKBUILT]

Yeah fantastic choice 👍 I want an F140 engine 😍

[@Ruserton]

Best series on youtube rn. Real enthusiasm coming thru the vids and amazing information too

[@Murasenki]

As an Italian I felt very curious and proud of this build. But now? I cant wait for this build. It's gonna be awesome!

[@WatchDoges2]

bro got the best sounding f140 engine letsgoo

[@fastman586]

This might just be my most looked forward to and favourite series to have ever watched on this app ❤️

[@microchrist6122]

Reverse engineering a chassis is wild. Stoked for this build 💪

[@xhowitisx]

Dude, keep it N/A, the power delivery will be awesome and it will last longer!!!

[@ScottieKieran23]

One of the best supercar engines of all time. The sound is heaven!!

[@UKBUILT]

👍 Agreed I hope my V12 build sounds that good 😍

[@442jetmech]

Mike Burroughs at his absolute finest!!!! The story telling is so good and man, I'm so hyped to go work on my own project now!

[@HardwareLust]

I thought for sure it was going to be the Judd V-10 since you mentioned it earlier, but this is so much cooler.

[@stanceworks]

Gotta go for the best of the best!

[@scottwalker1988]

The Ferrarinkstein F40. Taking all the best Ferrari stuff and somehow managing to combine it. I'm so invested in this project. It's ridiculous, it's insane. I love everything about it.

[@Lil_cut27]

Tbh who is gonna complain? A Ferrari V12 in a Ferrari F40? COUNT ME IN

[@UKBUILT]

😍

[@gregmarking6716]

But it's not an F40 in any way shape or form...

[@UKBUILT]

@@gregmarking6716 It's real enough for me 😎 the Ferrari engine gets my approval 👍 it's arguably cooler than a real f40 🤔 SP3 engine 🤯

[@gregmarking6716]

@@UKBUILT True, I'm sure it will be awesome when it's done.

[@stuartd9741]

Loses the original concept by not using a V8.. An Audi Or McLaren TT V8 would have worked. &! Keeping power to ~ 500 prancing horses would still be fast considering the space frame chassis.

[@darkwatcher01]

V12 is craaaazy

[@UKBUILT]

😍 Fantastic 👍 I'm using a V12 for my supercar project too 😎

[@loop5]

might come across as a trivial thing, but! 5 minutes into the video i have to say, that was a great preview and advertising for an upcoming episode. and while irrelevant with the topic at hand! that bit of storytelling worked great at getting the best of my attention. good job!

[@IrishWolf]

The holy grail of engines 🔥

[@greengrowcer2419]

Hell YEAH!!!! This build is going to break the internet!!!

[@mrsimo7144]

Two years to final build? You best hurry up. We, the people of YT need more of this. Stat! Thanks man. 🧡🙏

[@A_Lazy_Bori]

Just showed up on my feed.. idk 5:40 who you are but I’m here for this build; got that white bell icon set already ❤

[@freddybeacher]

I hope you guys are ready to blow up hard on YT. 1M new subs in the next few months. (300k currently in Nov '24 for those looking back). Well deserved.

[@rasmuspersson1000]

Im new here, sorry for beeing late. We can blame KZbin for that. I thought everyone that deals with cars on KZbin had to present like they used substans. And that you had to repair a damaged car, with good enough qualiy that its not visable in the video. That or mounting a turbo on a car, dyno its, show the new HP and say good buy - thanks for watching after a burnout, You explain how you have been thinking around the project. Talking about some histor,y. You simply bring content thats interesting. There are no stress to finish it, we wont gett bored. Too many think the content is about the car beeing finished that they compleatly niss why something is interesting. When they get their first lamboroghini to repair - you know that now its all about to finish this project. I dont watch it because its a lamboroghini. To be honest, think it would be more interesting if it was a Volvo. Keep this up. You are very good.

[@OGs_Classics]

He has finally lost his mind and Im here for it!

[@ZachRobert]

IM SO HERE FOR THIS. LETS GO!

[@cshevlin]

Brooooooo! This series is incredible! Great content, editing, etc..... I am so ready to watch this build come together!

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

If you are going to replace the F40 engine, I can't think of a better replacement. The sound will be incredible.

[@LoekHartog]

Hats off for production and the well thought off concept.

[@fxx-evo7414]

This is the most amazing and exciting project car (and even serie) of the whole KZbin. Cant wait to see the next vidéos !!
