Wagoneer855 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 damn, probably one of the cleanest/nicest 850 engine bays I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGB Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Haha...love the little turbo brick sticker under the driver side mirror. I'm pretty sure that was a magazine insert that Mini did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owned Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Owned makes a pod for down there. I've got one, nice piece of work.Sweet looking car!Yup, I make a glass one and an ABS 'economy' version. Scott has the ABS one. Many people are running them here including myself.Car looks great. I wish I had the patience to get my engine bay looking that clean. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra_runner Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I put just a tad over 300 miles on the car/engine this weekend. Nothing major except I keep blowing off the silicon hose at the throttle body.Now for some answers. Currently have a RICA ECU tuned for the 750cc injectors. Red line is 8K. Actually does pretty well, but going stand-alone later on.It starts to spool at about 2800 and really kicks in at say... 3400. It comes in fast and tends to jerk the steering wheel out of your hands (need a front end alignment as well). I've only pushed it to about 10 psi for now.Pras - I have the Erebuni and was going to put it one but.... on Saturday I put my passenger window down and it come off the track and got stuck. I woke up at 2:30 am on Sunday to pull the door apart and fix it. After that, I did not want to mess with the bumper swap, pop rivets and all. Also, CJ is going to fab me some brackets for the IC/Radiator/Fan assy here soon, so I might switch it up after that.Scott C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve s Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 great to see it running, too bad i couldn't make it to davis this year.funny u'r door should get stuck, remember that rattle in mine i told u last year? the track is broken.anyway, i think the erebuni kit is a bit overkill. i think it would look sooooo much better with the vst one. u go to japan still right? i think it's time u picked up one hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you got it from VIVA, then I need to send my ECU to George so that they can put the correct tune on there.....hopefully RICA will work with me and fix the issue. Also, check your PM's....I sent you one about the injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
