Ferrari Fuel Injectors:
355, 360, 430 and the Direct Injection Era

Injector reference for the Ferraris we see most: F355, 360 Modena, F430, the V12 grand tourers, and the direct injection generation from the California and 458 onward. Bosch part numbers behind the Ferrari labels, the K-Jetronic mechanical era explained honestly, and why collector car storage is the number one enemy of these injectors. Compiled by the injector cleaning department at Boost Lab, Inc.

Bosch behind the badge

Pull the injector out of an F355 or a 360 Modena and the body says Bosch. The F355, 456, and 550 Maranello share Ferrari part 162613, which is Bosch 0280150449, a conventional EV1 era port injector. The 360 runs Ferrari 197808, Bosch 0280155869, and the same injector appears in the Maserati Quattroporte of the era. Ferrari charges Ferrari prices for the box, but the component inside is a serviceable Bosch port injector, and that is exactly why professional cleaning and flow verification is such a strong alternative to dealer replacement on these cars.

The service pattern is pure collector car. Most of these engines cover a few hundred miles a year, and E10 pump gas sitting in fine Bosch pintles through a Florida summer is how a 3,000 mile 360 develops a cold start stumble and a cylinder that fouls plugs. Eight or twelve injectors averaging into acceptable fuel trims will hide one weak unit for years, and the per injector flow report is how you find it before the o-rings, the cats, or your patience pay the price.

From the California in 2008 and the 458 in 2009, Ferrari moved to direct injection. Those injectors run at true GDI pressures and cannot be honestly evaluated on a port injection bench, which is where our Carbon Zapp equipment comes in: testing at direct injection pressures up to 300 bar with per injector flow and leak documentation. Older than that, the 308 and Testarossa era runs Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical injection, a different technology entirely; reach out through the repair form before shipping CIS hardware and we will confirm the right path.

The 3,000 mile problem: low mileage is not the same as healthy on a fuel system. A Ferrari that sits develops varnish in injectors that have barely worked, and the first symptoms (cold start stumble, uneven idle, a single fouling plug) get blamed on everything expensive before anyone flow tests the injectors. Test first. The before and after ASNU report costs a fraction of parts cannon diagnostics at exotic prices.

What we see on the bench

The dealer alternative

Eight Bosch port injectors from a 360 cleaned, resealed, and flow documented beats dealer replacement pricing by an order of magnitude, and the report gives your Ferrari specialist real numbers to work from.

Storage varnish sets

Collector cars that sit are our most consistent exotic work. Ultrasonic cleaning, new filter baskets and seals, and documented flow recovery, then drive the car; it is the best thing for it.

Modern GDI Ferraris

California, 458, and later direct injectors are tested at true operating pressures on the Carbon Zapp bench with flow and leak data per injector, capability most shops simply do not have.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Ferrari fuel injectors just Bosch parts?

Through the port injection era, yes. The F355, 456, and 550 share Ferrari part 162613 (Bosch 0280150449), and the 360 runs 197808 (Bosch 0280155869), the same injector found in the Maserati Quattroporte. They are serviceable Bosch port injectors, which is why cleaning and flow verification is such a cost effective alternative to dealer replacement.

Why does my Ferrari idle rough or stumble on cold start after sitting?

Storage varnish. These cars cover very few miles, and ethanol blend fuel left sitting degrades in the fine passages of the injectors. The result is uneven flow across the set that hides inside normal fuel trims while one or two cylinders run poorly. A per injector flow test settles it in numbers before you start replacing expensive parts.

Can you service the direct injection Ferraris?

Yes. From the California and 458 onward, Ferrari uses GDI injectors that must be tested at true direct injection pressures to mean anything. Our Carbon Zapp bench tests up to 300 bar with per injector flow and leak documentation, which is the honest way to evaluate them.

What about older K-Jetronic Ferraris like the 308?

The 308 and Testarossa era uses Bosch CIS mechanical injection, a fundamentally different technology from electronic injectors. Serviceability varies, so reach out through the repair form before shipping CIS hardware and we will confirm the right path for your car.

Should I flow test injectors when buying or selling a Ferrari?

It is one of the cheapest pieces of documentation you can add to a transaction. A dated ASNU flow report showing a healthy, matched set answers a question every serious buyer has, and finding a weak set before purchase is negotiating leverage that pays for the test many times over.
