  1. hey I was wonder if any one has come into the same problem I have. I got a 1997 850 turbo AWD, and I have stucka boost gauge and manual boost controller on it this week. It runs fine when I barely turn up the boost from 5 psi, though When I hit about 7 the computer kicks. I am looking to turn it up to about 10 psi and apparently that is safe with the stock ecu programing. There is a solenoid valve near the wastegate that is hooked up to the vacuum lines, so my buddy and I are figuring that it is sensing the over boost and sending the info to the computer and is venting the boost and going to safe boost mode. Which is like 2 psi, which sucks. We are figuring that we should be about to just cheat the system by by passing the solenoid and just watching the boost gauge to make sure there isn't any over boost. If anyone has run into this problem and knows what is safe to do, any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Peace,

    ahhh, 850 Turbo AWD :wub: , auto or manual ?

  2. Got an email today about the stage 3 kit from IPD for the 4.3 motronic cars. 18T, down pipe, cat back exhaust and ECU map for $2995->$2595 if you are overwriting your existing set-up. I don't know the projected power #'s yet, anyone else know?

    the actual numbers for that car was 267 whp and 296 wtq

    so stage 3, i didn't really look at the video too long, but 18T,down pipe,exhaust,rip kit, some other stuff done also yeilded 267 with a MANUAL

    maybe with R manifold, intercooler you can get 280 to the wheels with a manual

    auto will obviously dyno a tad lower

  3. Edit: Torque is a bit low with 280 ft.lbs. = 380 NM. Mine has 295 ft.lbs. which are also not really very special <_<. But with the automatic transmission you can't tune it to much more. The best i saw here where 420 NM or so for an auto. Manuals should be 420 up to 480... :blink: with Chip, 16T, down pipe and exhaust !

    is 350 WTQ = 475 NM to the wheels ?

  4. fake dyno readings are the new pegs

    i said it!

    as long as you tune using the same dyno, and can show differences, i don't think it makes much of a difference

    exactly, to show differences using the dyno, yes sounds good, using the dyno to show that you have 400 whp with just a chip and downpipe, then i find that wrong

  5. Actually yes they are hard as well.

    Like anything it takes practice.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    if people are running unplugged wastegates, who cares, let them, if they feel its fast, let them do it

    all dynos aren't created equal, so what if ones higher then the other, we can at least judge then what is a approx. hp rating from the dyno

    a fast spooling turbo and sticky tires develop fast 60 foot times

    I am ranting and don't car :lol:

  6. theres this 1997 850R for sale I know of

    150,000 on odometer, but only 30,000 on engine, 10,000 on trans, and 8,000 on turbo

    at 22 psi dynoed at

    330 WHP

    350 WTQ

    and is getting it tuned again in October for more hp (24 or 26 psi)

  7. But, 600AWHP is not ALL turbo. There is an engine on there too. For example, my 18T makes roughly 300WHP on my car @ 20 PSI. But if you put a turbo kit consisting of my 18T on a Ferrari Enzo, It would be over 600WHP even on 5 PSI.

    I recently boosted 22 PSI => 20 PSI from MBC by stretching spring + WG rod shortened 3 times.

    I bent a rod and 5 hydraulic lifters AS SOON as I did this. Not cool. BUT, my timing was also advanced and it could have helped bend them.

    Be safe guys. Instead of getting another 20 (twenty) WHP on your car, thus bending a rod and lifters, just lighten your car by 200 Pounds and get the same results.

    Recap: 20 PSI is fine, but 22 is the danger zone.

    that engine would out flow the turbo at just 5 psi after 3000 rpm, do some compressor map calculating

    any dyno graphs on 18T at 20 psi so I can compare to the other 18T done by Marco?

  8. Realistically, how much could you safetly boost into a s70 glt engine which is the 2.4 lpt? And roughly how much hp are those blocks good for? Im new, srry if this is a dumb question...

    Realistically,

    13G - 19 psi

    15G - 18 psi

    20G - 13 psi

    GT35R - 10 psi

    and the blocks are good for 550, but the rods and pistons aren't good for it

    all jokes aside,

    what do you want to do with your car? hp wise . . .

  9. I always thought they were 7... The TD04HL have bigger turbine exducer than regular TD04/TD04H also.

    http://www.melett.com/newPDFs/MHI/TD04.pdf...sing%20A%2FR%22

    That's a list that mentions all of the FWD Volvos (except some 2.0 liter versions and for some reason the 1998 S70?) as 7 cm2 housings. Go figure...

    Cool little PDF you got there. Well I heard that just some are 7 and others 6. But either way, 300 whp with a bigger turbo.

  10. Actually, Joe... I'd be willing to bet that a turbo with a larger turbine helping produce more efficient boost and potentially a bit more lag will help our rods out with higher hp goals.

    You are right on Joe.Take for instance the .41 A/R housing (stock volvo). Changing turbine A/R has many effects. By going to a larger turbine A/R, the turbo comes up on boost at a higher engine speed, the flow capacity of the turbine is increased and less flow is wastegated, there is less engine backpressure, and engine volumetric efficiency is increased resulting in more overall power. The .41 A/R is able to create the pressure differential at a much lower engine rpm, giving the compressor ability to make its maximum rpm speed sooner, why the 15G and all others spool very quickly. As the engine rpm climbs, the pressure differential is lowered due to the physical volume of the housing size becoming a restriction on the post turbine side - volvo turbine housing suck !. As the housing size is increased, it take greater engine rpm speed (greater exhaust energy) to spool up the turbine, but the pressure differential is less effected by the physical volume of the housing. If you are after maximum midrange gains smaller housings are essentially (15G,16T,18T), if top end gains are essential larger housing are essential(16G,20G,3071R, 28R).
