Brad850 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Tell you the truth I'm not sure. My brother did it when he had the car I think he read somewhere that it increased performance somehow. Could be bs but I figured why take it off.

URO_S60 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well go ahead and look through 10 pages of everyones engine bay and tell me how many people have them ground straps installed like that, if there were increased performance I am pretty sure there would be a lot more people running anything like that.

B Mac Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 There is an article somewhere (can't find it) about a shop that put a grounding kit on their 850R. They actually put the car on the dyno and made more power back-to-back. I replaced the factory shoelace grounds a few years ago with 8awg high flex wire on my 850 and it actually seemed to help. I plan on redoing everything with 6awg wire and interconnecting it all now that the engine is built and there's probably some more noise due to my solid mounts and MSD parts. Try it, you'll be surprised ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublin14 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 hows she doin!^?? Its off the road for winter of course.It pulls better than it did with the 18T at 18-20psi and Im only at 10psi on the TT tuned (or untuned for my setup) map. Got about 3K on it since the build and few bugs to work out in spring. Im sure tuned at 20+psi and WMI it might be alot of fun. Matt at MT will be doing the tuning. You decided on what turbo your getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublin14 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Very nice! I need to set my 6a-L like that to clean up my bay a wee bit. Cheers! The problem is room. I need to add a CC someplace. I would also like to move the filter forward behind the headlight and then custom make a box around it with the air coming right in. KInd of like that yellow Peril 850 or what ever its called in the UK. So some things will. Oh and a battery relocate for sure!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
