Ferrari F8 Tributo - Exhaust Bypass Valve Controller Remote Kit
The Forza Componenti exhaust bypass valve controller kit is the complete solution that allows the user full manual control of the vehicle's vacuum actuated exhaust bypass valves. The controller has an integrated printed circuit board that controls the negative side of the exhaust bypass vacuum solenoids. The user can manually open the exhaust bypass valves to have that classic engine sound at all speeds and engine RPMs. Of course, you can return the operation of the exhaust valves to the car's ECU which generally results in lower engine noise at low vehicle speeds and engine RPM.
The Model B4-FP controller is a 2-way exhaust controller that is designed for installation in extreme environments as one would encounter in the engine bay of high performance sports cars.
Although similar to the Model B4 for other Ferrari models, the B4-FP is specifically designed for use with the Ferrari F8 with very sensitive vacuum control technologies. The Model B4-FP installation kit includes two additional vacuum control valves so that the electrical circuit for the controller is completely separate from the circuit controlling the existing vacuum control valves. This design allow control of the exhaust bypass valves without any error conditions or trouble codes. And, as is the case with the Model B4, you can choose the Normal or Always Open mode at vehicle start.
The exhaust bypass valve kit provides three different operational modes:
- Normal Mode: In this mode, the vehicle controls the operation of the exhaust bypass valves. This is the stock operation.
- Always Open: Selecting this mode will force the exhaust bypass valves to the open position and remain open. When the valves are Always Open, you have the full experience of hearing your engine exhaust at any time.
- Always Closed: Selecting the Always Closed mode will force the exhaust bypass valves to remain closed at all times. This overrides the ECU control which opens the valves at predetermined engine and vehicle speeds. This mode is especially useful to ensure that your vehicle is as quiet as possible. Note: With this option, you can force the valves to stay in the closed position at all times. This feature was added at the request of people who track their cars at locations with strict noise standards and did not want the vehicle ECU to open the valves at high engine RPM.
Each kit is assembled using components designed to withstand the rigors of installation in the engine bay of modern sports car. The enclosure is extruded aluminum. The internal circuit board will withstand the elevated temperatures that tend to exist in the engine bay of a vehicle. The connection cables are constructed using high serviceability TPE insulated cabling rated to 105 C. Connectors are weatherproof automotive connectors to resist moisture.
Plug-and-Play ... 100% Reversible
The kit is completely plug-and-play. Power for the controller comes from the existing connector to the car's exhaust bypass vacuum solenoids, and no wiring modification are required because the kit includes connector cables for the vacuum solenoids.
Installation is straight forward. You only need to select a location to install the controller, unplug the vacuum solenoids, connect the included cables and route the cables to the controller. Once installation is complete, you use one button on your remote transmitter to open the exhaust bypass valves and the other button to close the valves and return control to the car ... and, you also have the ability to configure a manual on/off switch that you can mount inside your vehicle.
Since no modifications are required to install, if you ever want to remove the controller the installation is 100% reversible.
The controller includes two Remote Control Transmitter.
Key features:
- Completely self contained controller box
- User configuration to use either the remote control key fob or use a manual on/off switch
- Approved FCC, CE and all international governing bodies
- Always Closed option can be used to keep the valves closed at all times
- All internal components integrated on Printed Circuit Board for higher reliability
- Fail safe mode ... when vehicle ignition is turned off, exhaust bypass valve control reverts to factory ECU
- No Check Engine Lights (CEL) or Diagnostic Test Codes (DTC)
- Cables assembled using water and oil resistant flexible cord - 18 AWG stranded Class K copper conductors per ASTM B-174. Cable is rated SJEEOW for severe outdoor service with TPE insulation rated to 105 C. Type SJEOOW cords are ideal for flex applications in harsh high temperature environments where highest degree for water and oil resistance and extended service life are essential.
- All electrical cables use weatherproof connectors
- High-gain external antenna for improved remote control performance
- Kit includes full installation instructions and one remote control transmitter, mounting accessories including cable ties and high temperature tolerant adhesive mounts
- Remote control can be programmed to newer versions of HomeLink (version 5 and higher) that is integrated into many cars. Older versions of HomeLink (earlier than 2013) will not support the 433MHz frequency of the remote transmitter
- The controller kit is warranted to be free of defects. If the controller should fail within 12 months of installation, return it to us for repair or replacement
This item will fit the following model/s:
- Ferrari F8 Tributo (2020 onwards)
