Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

Hmmmmm.... Sent it yesterday. I'll check to make certain I used the address you gave me. Mine is public so I don't mind positing [email protected] maybe I went to your spam folder. I'm oddly attracted to processed pork products.

Re: Help With Fuel Line Part ID

I know what this piece is, what it does, and where to get it. Technically, it has no individual name. You can only buy it from the dealer as part of the entire fuel line from gas tank to motor. I paid $243 plus tax. My problem (now resolved) was wanting to add a Walbro fuel pump and 4 bar FPR to my ...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

Lucky - I posted data logs earlier in this thread and you can see how late my 16t is spooling up. It might be my tune is holding it back a bit as it will spool and hold at the stock setting for a sec, then jump to 16lbs. Maybe the wastegate? Maybe less timing? IDK, but If you are "tinkering&quo...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

True, Lucky - and you're much more the expert than I, but you can't just say "larger turbo" without taking into account how much longer it will take to generate that power. Since you can't "tune" the TCM, if you're shifting at 6K and your not hitting full boost until 5k... My 2 o...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

MTE DataLog Mid-day stock intake.csv MTE DataLog Early Morning Stock intake.csv MTE DataLog SRI.csv I think these three are pretty good representations. Although hard to read because Office 2010 re-formatted them, you can still see which column represents each value. You will see what I mean about ...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

One more thought on the issue of cold air... Many people remove the splash/gravel guard from under the engine. If it's not there, replace it (FCP Groton carries an inexpensive aftermarket version) This is not just a guard. It is an "air guide" it has a big effect on how the air is directed...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

It won't let me post a csv file, but the data log I did with the iPd softloader (which I highly recommend) with this set-up was 15lbs of boost in 2nd gear at 4000 rpm, with a charge air temp of 147 degrees: IMAG0005.jpg I did add a second intake hose to compliment the stock one which was a piece of ...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

This is the definitive post on all mods available for an 850. Although it is written for HPT cars (2.3l) Most of these translate to the low pressure turbo as well. http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/86240-modifying-fwd-turbo-volvos-read-dont-comment/page__hl__modding+hpt__fromsearch__1 If cutting ...

Re: 850, lots of boost + how to go even faster?

Just some FYI on the iPd HD TCV. I'm running a 16T with a softloader tune from iPd that gives me 16 pounds of boost. I have a catless 3" Borla exhaust among many other upgrades. The car was running really choppy when I first got the tune. I called Ken at iPd and he told me to switch back to the...
