Falcone Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 A couple months ago, my 850 finally sh!t out its head gasket after nearly 400,000kms. So I took that time to put some rsi rods/pistons in and decided to have some fun. I also installed my CAT cams, an n/a intake mani and throttle body, and some 750 injectors. I'm runing on a motronic suite tune, basically I use a whilliam programmer and a basically stock ecu with saab motronic suite for my tuining. I'm also runing a gt28r, meth inj, ac delete, gutted, and a bunch of small stuff I don't feel like typing. This is also my only car, and my dd, and I hav also lived in it for a few weeks. Basically, this is my meswsed up perception of a daily driver, and I love the sh!t out of it. Some install pics, but not many, I just got sh!t done an probibly should of photo logged it better. Reason why I tore it down, this oil had 200kms on it My work place. Was it ever a pan in the nuts to keep clean during the rubuild. Left the short block in due to lack of engine hoist. this cylinder has 400mls of coolant sitting on the piston. It still ran awesomly, save for the odd crappy start. storage area old head gasket, almost 400,000kms new hg in, with new rods/pistons stretched stock turbo throttle hose over an n/a throttle body cams are in, I used the turo gears it runs you may remember it as this but I hated it, so now it looks like this all toggles are functional old rod/piston act as a clearence indicatot lol thats all for now.

Falcone Posted October 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks guys. JVC, the fawking hood still hasn't rusted well enough for my liking. I want super rust, the kind you can feel. I've doused it in lemon juice/vinegar mix, salt bath, covering with seran wrap and it still looks the same as it did in the pic. Its sitting in my buddy's backyard uncovered for the winter, we'll see how it turns out after that hahah. I just bent the hood in the pics, thats my fifth set of hinges, I keep forgetting to close the fawking hood and drive away, big mistake hahahaha. Now I just rock bent as sh!t hinges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get a link to you if you want, i'll hav to dig it up. They cost me close to 1700 delivered (i'm in canada). The momo adapotor I made myself from a spare 850 wheel I had. Cut the spline out, and adapted it to the momo wheel. The wheel came with a cavileir hub hahah. Thanks Mike, i'm hoping to just get it thru the winter, then I have a 2jz, drivetrain and tranny i'm going to try and wedge in, if it doesn't work, then my e30 gets it. Hopefully by next summmer the 850 is rwd and 2jz'd hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
