wtb THIS.

Name:  MIG-UIbyGemballa.jpg
Views: 24
Size:  65.8 KB





I’ve been holding a secret for a long time…A while back one of my friends (a member of the Galadari family) in Dubai told me about this project they were working on with Germany’s famous Porsche tuner Gemballa. The project shocked me because of just how insane it was. After seeing some early sketches of the project, I was convinced that it would turn out to be pretty wild!

Now many months later after painfully suppressing this secret, the pictures are here. The Gemballa Enzo project lives!

I’ve been given permission finally to release the pictures, but it seems that I might not be the first to leak them. Regardless I think I was one of the very first to know about this project many months ago, so I still feel its relevant to publish these here.

It should be known that the car is called the MIG-UI by Gemballa. It is named after Mustafa and Illyas Galadari with Mustafa’s name being first in this order because the base Enzo was his own personal car. The car is a limited edition model which has been produced for the “Illyas and Mustafa Galadari Group” of Dubai. The Illyas and Mustafa Galadari Group is Gemballa’s Middle East distributor. The details will be released at a future invitation only launch in Dubai.

that was my guess initially.

is their screen on any of the couplers? maybe the air going into the intake is too turbulent or isn't straight?

but seriously, i believe the problem has to do with the maf not reading the air correctly, have you tried restarting the ECU?

ya well as of right now the vacuum hoses are not plugged into the intake. Before when I was running the intake without the hoses on it would idle crappy but not as bad. And then when we drilled the intake and put on these valves for the hoses and plugged em in I get the P0171 code so idk what to do. I guess I can try and see if the MAF is dirty or something.

hmmm, i think that may be your problem,. so when you put the vacuum hoses on, it messes with the air even more.

idk where you could purchase them?
maybe from AEM? the couplers should fit?

roger: make your own man!
I remember at the last dyno day we were working on that Pettit car and noticed that the guy's intake didn't have any screens at all which is why we couldn't get it to idle right. (well, that was ONE of the many issues that car had that night)

anyways, one of the guys ran over to home depot to buy a roll of screen material. It's like the stuff you use on a window at home, they sell it in a big roll. We cut out a piece, put it at the end of the coupler, clamped it down, and bingo; screen!

let me help you with your math equation there...


House + alcohol + me unsupervised = House Fire

Threw a cigarette at a pile of trashbags that had dry leaves in them and walked away. Next thing you know we had a nice bon fire that caught his shed on fire....lucky my brother has 3 water lines near the area.


....so yeah...i don't think i'm going back to his house any time soon
