  1. Well, it doesn't look good. The more I drive it with the 625's the worse it gets (at idle/part throttle). This morning was OK first thing, but I went out just now, and the AFR's are starting 14.7, dropping to 11.6-9, then pegging lean. If I blip the throttle, I can get it to come back to the rich side, but it seems that it's just so rich. I sent the injectors out today for flow testing, but chances are that they are actually fine. I'll stop @ Volvo again this afternoon to hook up the tester, but I'm sure I'm gonna see the 02 pegged. I'll try & note the injector pulse time.

    I can try changing plugs, etc.. but it really seems that it is the tune. :( , Since with the greens flowing approx 535cc @5bar, it runs & drives great, I just can't run over 20psi boost, and I'm concerned about running that much pressure to the rail ('98's only have regulated pressure to the rail, the regulator is down by the PS rack....)

    Not sure what to do now. TT should be here soon, so I may have to wait for that to see if I can get things right @ idle w/the 625 @ 3bar, then I'll know that it is in fact the tune calibration

    If I hadn't exploded the clutch in the X1/9, I'd just leave this be, but I need it as my DD right now.

    are you getting any codes? that sounds alot like my car is doing on stock tune...

    owned, the oil cooler/pan should be on any car later than 99-00. Vadis lists different coolant pipes though for the different models/years, im not sure which one lookforjoe used but i got all my stuff off of an 05 xc90 and the last one i built i ordered the pipes new, they arent too expensive, and its hard to find a yard that will pull just that pipe for you.

  2. :lol: Your inspectors actually give a stuff?

    I once saw an inspector go over my ex-girlfriends car like this:

    Honk, flick on head lights, fill out paper work and apply sticker.

    To be fair, this is not what is required of him, but still... They barely check anything here and I'm pretty sure I live in a relatively strict state regarding this.

    +1, i know of a couple of places that just require it to run and have lights. lol

    North Carolina isnt strict either, but my car wouldnt pass over there :lol:

  3. yeah i took calc 2 my frosh year, had like a C or BC going into the final, came out of the class with an A! :lol:

    the deal was whatever you got on the final was what ur grade was in the class, somehow i pulled it out...calc 3 on the other hand pwned me :(

    that would be awesome if that was the case, i just got a 60 on one of the tests and i hope i did good enough to pull out of it.

  4. well what calc are we talking about?

    calc 2, just got out of my exam this morning, i think i did ok. Im really not good with series...

    99-01? ETM. Got a 100K warranty or something these days... but still, a bit of a lag/delay when you hit the go pedal... Volvo claims something like 74ms but you can feel it. ;)

    Newer ones have ETA... can't really feel it as much.

    Hell yeah you can feel it!!! I cant stand driving those cars in a manual, its terrible. At least with the new ones, ie 01+ you can get used to the small lag, but damn i dont think i could ever compensate for it on the 99s.

    BTW OT but whatever, the new s40 clutch is wayyyy to soft. It sucks, pansy ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD volvo owners :rolleyes:

  5. I got an email today saying that today was the last day to register.

    "If you haven't done so already, make sure you pre-register for the 2008 Carlisle Import/Replicar/Kit Nationals show to save $10 and time at the gate. "

    lol, they sent me a letter that telling me to pre-reg when i already had

  6. I deleted the air pump so it was cake this time around. Last time was PITA and I wasn't happy w/ the results. As for relocating the airpump, it'd be pretty easy if you can find a place for it..

    im looking into doing this actually, im thinking i can find space somewhere behind the bumper, ill let everybody know what the results are, prob wont be for a while though.
