    Ghibli II 2.8 ABS replacing ECU

    Two different ones. Use the one without the two LAMPs, the one with two push buttons (these two pictures show the same tool).

    Ghibli II winter works

    It can't be the clutch bearing. I've put in a new one. Actually a second one, because I was thinking the same.

    Ghibli II winter works

    So you are building a full rollcage into the shell :) Yes, it even got a separate article: https://totalcar.hu/magazin/szerelem/2021/12/05/maserati-shamal-v8-biturbo-1992/ That's exactly the case, and that's why I'm planning to put back the old gearbox. Yeah, but I still can't stand it :)

    Ghibli WEBER (or equivalent) fuel regulator needed, any ideas?

    As you wrote that part is impossible get, like the front lights and other similar items. Hopefully it's on the list of the new Maserati Classiche program. I've found the closest ones requiring nearly no modifications at Webcon UK Ltd dealing with Weber parts. For example...

    Ghibli II winter works

    Hi! Sorry for disappearing, got into unrelated projects this year, had less time with the Ghibli. Anyhow I did fix the oil leak, along with redoing the timing. Already put 500km into the car (not a big number but still) and drives well. Wanted to test on the rolling road to have proper data...

    1996 Ghibli GT front discs?

    Maybe a tad higher, in 2014 Tarox asked ~600 EUR for a pair of fronts (and 5 days for manufacturing).

    1996 Ghibli GT front discs?

    Few years ago I've got the disks from CTF: https://www.centertecnofreno.it/index.cfm?fuseaction=skdProdotto&IDPMM=3743&IDProdotto=769 If you want to go fancy they now also list 2-piece disks: https://www.centertecnofreno.it/index.cfm?fuseaction=skdProdotto&IDPMM=3743&IDProdotto=767

    Ghibli II winter works

    Better to be :) But this was a stupid mistake from my side, the slips should be on the top to avoid such an issue and other possible leaks. On the other side it's fine, not sure why I inverted here. Anyway at least I know what to do for this, and already ordered a new belt as well.

    Piston Weights?

    For which engine? The V6 engines starting with AM 490 (Racing) utilized a redesigned rotating assembly, with significant weight reductions. I have spare used pistons for the 2.0L engine but they are different then in the Biturbo engines.

    Ghibli anti roll bar bushes

    But first make sure you have a 13mm roll-bar, because I had a 15mm one.

    Finally also found the source of the oil leak today. As I feared it's coming from behind the cylinder front cover, the dreaded shoelace gasket popped out during assembly. Previously though I'll just leave as is whatever the cause, but now I do have to fix it, meaning a full timing belt change...

    Ghibli II winter works

    Thanks for the question, but unfortunately it's not perfect yet. From the remaining list I've crossed two items: idle setup (that was an easy one) and A/C (again easy, because it's actually working). But the remaining two did cause me headaches. Regarding clutch / drivetrain noise I removed...

    Workshop manual Quattroporte 3.2/Ottocilindri

    It's below the plenum. Two persons with a lift might be able to reinstall it without removing the plenum (at least that's what the workshop manual indicates).

    Biturbo spyder presentation pack

    Try to get it through your local dealership, as I remember I did the same as it disappeared from the online store after a while.

    Biturbo spyder presentation pack

    It's a classiche kit, basically a reprint of the original owners and parts manual and the same supplied on a CD as well (is there still such a thing?) I have the Ghibli one, too bad the small scale model is not a Ghibli

    Biturbo & Ghibli II Camshaft profiles?

    The datasheet I've attached is for 24v The camshaft wheels have a single pickup point by default, but there are empty threaded holes every 90 degrees. Would those help?

    Biturbo wheel bearings

    Indeed, although I believe you will find these at a regular bearing supplier much cheaper without the Maserati tax. I've also found the all the bearings and seals (there was one seal which needed more research) when rebuilding the diff, for a much-much cheaper price then via Maserati, same for...

    Biturbo wheel bearings

    I think 2.24 uses tapered roller bearings, 2-2 both in the front and rear hubs. Based on the bearing numbers after disassembly, you should be able to find replacements.

    Ghibli II winter works

    I've cleaned and degreased everything, at least as I remember. I think the problem is that I've run out of the factory one, and used a different one. It was also viton, but maybe 0.1mm smaller in diameter. Looked up my notes, everything is there, except this, so not sure.

    Biturbo & Ghibli II Camshaft profiles?

    Unfortunately the value you are looking for (degrees between SMOT and SCAM) is missing from the manual. Looking forward for the updates, sounds like an interesting project!
