As the saying goes, its better to be safe then sorry, and that’s my driving force behind upgrading the F1 Relay on my 360. As its a weak point, that has failed many drivers over the years, as its a part that wears out. So for <$250 the piece of mind and geekiness of having a better F1 relay for me was well worth it.
The company that makes this is called Scud Ing Swiss and the product is bought via their site here: https://www.scuding.com/Shop/en/ecu-solutions/101-smart-emt-relay-ecu.html
Installation is <15 minutes, and you’ll just need a Philips screw driver and something to remove a nut of your choice to make ground connection. The only thing they didn’t add, which I wish they had, was double sided tape to secure the Smart eMT box. I added my own tape and attached it to the side of one of the fuse box covers.
Now you’re not going to be like “WOW” the car is so much faster, but for me, its the car is just that much more stable/secure in its operation. That for me is a nice feeling, car is fast enough as is 😉
BTW I’m going to do another post soon on another part Scud Ing Swiss sells that I really feel is something that most Ferrari 360 owners should buy, that is their: Smart Turn Signal ECU. Just a quick summary on this, it allows you to tap the turn single stalk and do the lane change/automatically turns off the single lights after a set number of flashes. This for me drove me insane that the Ferrari didn’t have it, I’m on the highways a lot and find it so annoying to have to fully engage the stalk and then go back to turn if off once I’ve passed/changed lanes.
