Ferrari Injection
 

Anyone know anything about this system? It is on a Ferrari F1 motor.

Is it a mechanical system or is it EFI? Could something similar be done on a street driven car? What are the drawbacks to fuel hitting the intake runners before hitting the valves? :_paranoid I don't know too much, help me out.

First off it will not work, secondly why would you want something you can buy for a 5th of the cost and that would work on your car.

Just your typical F1 injection system, and yes they most certainly do work. But it's not even remotely feasable for a street vehicle. You would need a fully enclosed plenum and a fuel pump that can handle the required 700ish PSI (yes 700) of fuel pressure they run. :willy:

Thanks R/T

I was thinking along the lines of an enclosed plenum with a similar setup to hide the fuel rails. Make an efi system look mechanical. But I did not know you would need 700 psi :eek: to make it work! I did not want an exact F1 system, but someting similar as a way of hiding the fuel rails. Thanks for the constructive help, I'll go back to pondering.

Did you see that at the Ferrari Factory in Modena? I was there last fall and man, is it a motor heads dream. Got lots of pics if anyone is interested. I bet you would spend more money and Time that it could possiblly be worth, even if you did manage to make it work.

Isn't that a overhead cam set up???

you could do that type of set up on almost anything. my 2005 honda cbr600rr rocket has 8 injectors and four of them are mounted like that, and fuel it from 5,000rpm to 15,000rpm.
and it has i think 55 psi of fuel pressure

The fuel railes for the EFI injectors appear to be on top of the engine holding the injectors.

I was thinking of manifold and everything other then the fuel system. I read that wrong, sorry.

well if you are just trying to hide the injectors why not have them come from the center (above lifter valley, under the plenum) It would be a hell of a lot easier than a full custom induction system, and also hide the wiring. :thumbsup:
