I had a black one on my floor once , immaculate , fsh and just been serviced (on the odometer) , had sat for about 3 years , a customer who was a potential buyer , asked if he could just start in , it was delivered from the factory with a Tubi , so it sounded great , we let the car warm up and then he blipped the throttle , sounded fantastic so he asked if he could blip again , knowing the possibilities that could go wrong , we said yes as it was hot enough , next thing the engine was stuck revving about 9500 and not coming down , I dived in from the passenger side and turned off the ingnition , stopping any further problems , got into the drivers footwell and the throttle was operating perfectly , started the car again , straight up to 9500 , turned it off . Off it went to the agent , came back 3 months later having had an engine out , whole new feul system installed and it was fine , these things are not a joke and love to be driven , if not , it bites .

My '85 Porsche 928S2 had a very small washer bottle in the extreme nose of the car. This was supposed to hold "intensive washer fluid", while the main washer fluid was actually in the passenger side front fender with a filler cap next to the engine. I suspect that the small washer fluid bottle on the Testarossa is the same thing. Interestingly, the Testarossa is not powered by a "Boxer" engine, it is a 180 degree V12 technically. Great video!

Boxer engines like Suburu have individual cylinder heads, where this has two -one piece heads? Is that where the difference lies?🤔
@Flies2FLL
@Flies2FLL 8 ай бұрын
@@BubblesTheCat1 No. Subaru engines have a horizontally opposed design which means that they have two heads, not one head for each cylinder. [light aircraft engines are built that way] The Subaru "boxer" engine has a crankshaft throw for each piston. If you were to look at a Subaru flat engine from one of the ends and see what the pistons were doing inside the block, you would see that pistons across from each other were either moving towards each other or away from each other. A four cylinder Subaru has four crankshaft throws. This Ferrari engine is NOT a "boxer", it is a flat or horizontally opposed engine in which the pistons across from each other are always moving the SAME direction. If the piston on the left bank is moving toward the spark plug, then the piston across from it in the right bank is moving away from it's spark plug. That is because these two pistons share a crankshaft throw. Which means that while a four cylinder Subaru has four crankshaft throws, a twelve cylinder Ferrari has only six.... Thus, the engineering naming convention in the world industry calls this horizontally opposed Ferrari engine a 180 degree V12, not a boxer 12. This is the only non-boxer horizontally opposed engine; Four, six or eight cylinder horizontally opposed engines would have severe vibration issues if they were built with shared crankshaft throws.

@Flies2FLL Ok, I sort of understand what you're saying. I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a qualified diesel mechanic and have rebuilt many diesel engines in diesel pickup trucks, but... I've only ever worked on inline 4 cylinder engines. I've never even seen a crankshaft or inside of any boxer, or V engine 🤭🤭🤭 . When you say they share a crankshaft throw, does that mean the two bottom ends of the conrods touch each other on the sides, or do they each have their own journal on the same throw? Sorry, for sounding a bit stupid, I just have zero experience of these types of engines🙄I'm also retired now due to back injury, although I'm only 55. Does this engine and a boxer each have only one crankshaft, but with different throws?

Thanks for the memories!! Had a red 1990 Testarossa (same color scheme) for 5 years (1999 - 2004) that I drove 32,000+ miles. Top speed I hit was north of 170. Yep, I had the normal melted fusebox issue that had to re-done. Ditched the catalytic converter, muffler and had straight pipes from headers back. Spit 2-foot flames out back no problem. Had nice burbling race car sound in the downshifts - awesome looking at night. Fun car for sure. Back then the engine out service was $8 - 12K. I did that 2X in 5 years (every 12K).

The K-Jetronic system can be quite reliable as proven by my 41years old Granada which has had no work on the system. It's low milage and has been reguarly driven though. Some work is needed now though to get it perfect. So if it's gone through carefully and rebuilt it can last for a long time again.

It's not a boxer engine. It is actually based on the 180° V12 F1 Ferrari engine. I'm a bit confused why they can't tell the mechanical difference. The crankshaft is totally different.

Think he said 2 opposing piston rods share a crank pin? As such it ain't no 'boxer'.

​@@PDLM1221Yes and no. It was only used in race engines, even by Porsche. They have a 180° V12 on display in their museum that was used in the various Le Mans racers. Apparently it was advantageous to use this layout.

Cool car I'd never want to own. I remember everybody went Testarossa bonkers when it was introduced. Personally, a front engine Ferrari for me. A little easier to work on. Check the valve guide seals! They're likely shot at this point.

That's a beautiful car can't wait to hear run and I'm sure by just pulling the motor by itself as several thousand dollars to the bill for ending is done so I can see that building over 10 15000 easily if not more good luck and have fun Danielson😅

It's CIS, so it's important to keep the air intake clean because it directly affects fuel flow.

boxer engine uses 1 crank pin per con rod. 180 V engine uses 1 crank pin for 2 conrods. thats the defference between a beatle boxer 4 and a flat V12

Yup. Opposing piston pairs in a boxer engine are at tdc at the same time.

@@bmolendijk7884 The Bosch KE-Jetronic - Continuous Injection System (CIS) fitted to the Ferrari was fitted to many other cars of its generation - eg. Mercedes, VW, AUDI, BMW, Porsche, Volvo, etc. It is very reliable when properly maintained. The issue in today's world is that the knowledgeable CIS mechanics have left the profession (retired or passed away) so the current crop are reluctant to tackle the work - or even worse proceed to do work without the required knowledge. For example, the restoration of the Bosch fuel distributor is a relatively straight forward task and will take about 1 hour or at most 2 hours for the less experienced to complete.

Good thing that Sony cassette deck and CD changer control has a handle on it. You'll need it to pull it out to send to domeone who knkws what they're doing just to clean the mechanism and replace the belts. BTW Ford fans, it it looks familiar, that's because it's basically the same deck they made for Ford back in the 90s.

I remember reading in a car magazine about when McLaren were launching the MP4-12C. They had the motoring press in to the factory to give them a tour of the production line. One journalist asked, "So, have you got desires to be like Ferrari?" 'God, no. There's nobody here who can weld that badly.'
