I had a chance to look over the Ferrari F430 V8 4.3L NA engine inside and out the other day at a Ferrari show and I don't understand how this little engine doubles the power output of the almost same size 4.0 liter Lexus 1uz v8 motors?...
The F430 Ferrari motor -
4.3 liter V8
Aspiration natural
500hp @ 8500
114hp per liter
343 lb-ft torque @ 5250 rpms
This motor looks nothing like my 1uz-fe, the cams have unreal lift and the design is nothing like the conventional cams, the fuel injection system looks like it is from another planet...I just don't get it..Thought someone might be able to enlighten me? Is it all in the cams?...
The F430 specs
0-62mph in 4 seconds
top speed 196mph
weight 3197 lbs
hp/weight - 6.5lbs per 1 hp.
This is truely an outstanding engine and car...and the price reflects...
