Modifications for the Ferrari 559
The Car Tuning Guide look at the 559 tuning options. Which are the best modifications for the 559.
Available in standard form with power of upto 614bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the 559. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 675.4bhp to 1043.8bhp and this would take a lot more than just bolting on a massive exhaust and adding a go faster stripe.
For serious power hikes like this you would need to look at rebores, porting and polishing and add into the mix a hefty dose of forced induction.
If you have one of the lower powered 559s you should think about an engine swap with the engine from the 614bhp 559 Coupes. There are some star performers in the 559 line up. With a few mods you will make yours a road scortcher rather than just a hot hatch.Car Tuning Guide have been impressed with the addition of stainless steel exhaust systems on the 559s , if you want to improve your top end go with an air induction filter. You should also get a better fuel pressure regulator such as those supplied by FSE
The next level of modifications involve taking more aggressive action. The 559 responds well to a fast road cam which is one of the best value mods out there. Turn your attention next to the 559s engine head. With a good gas flowed ported engine you will see much better mid and peak range power.
The top 559 Coupe offers a base power level of 614 bhp. The car tuning guide would expect you to see power gains from 675.4 bhp to 1043.8 bhp! Suspension improvements can dramatically increase the road holding and cornering of your 559. You shouldn’t really lower a car by more than 30-35mm.
