volvomachine Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 oh yeah for sure it is...i mean im sure its no IPD ecu or EST ecu, but for $200 its very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRK Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I would not say it's no IPD or EST. We have no real way of telling if it is or not.I think of the other chips avaiable for our cars the top 3 would be:RICABSRMTEAnd even then I cant be certin.... I wish I new more people with chipped cars that are close to me. But at around 200.00 you cant beat the bang for your buck factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvomachine Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 oh totally, even with the small vacuum leak i can feel the extra power and the extra boost is a deffinite improvement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRK Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 oh totally, even with the small vacuum leak i can feel the extra power and the extra boost is a deffinite improvement as well.How much are boosting? got a gauge? I wonder if it is the same amount as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvomachine Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 gauge is on the way soon...first i wanna get the vacuum leak completely fixed that way if something happens during the install of the gauge i know it must be the gauge and not some other problem...

kansan_brick Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 does the chip just add psi or does it also add fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRK Posted August 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 both, its a remap for the ecu. if it only added psi it would run lean and damage the engine. if you only want psi get a MBC for a hole lot cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansan_brick Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 how long did it take from when you made payment to recieve shipping packages to send yours out and then get it backi need to buy sept 6 cuz thats when i go to the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclucid Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 OK I just got my volvo and a remaped ecu for that price is sounding really nice to me. Any idea where I can get another ecu for cheap, so I don't have down time, its my daily driver and I drive it daily. What kind of mileage are you getting on the remaped ecu?

CRK Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 *Update 02/08/2007*I have replaced vaccum lines, regapped my spark plugs, and a couple other little things that need to be repaired/replaced and a MBC.On a nice cold dry morning with the engine just up at temp........ 18psi then levels off at around 15-16psi. On a crappy day with a hot motor about 13-16psi. The computer really retards the timming and what ever else that needs to be adjusted.So to recap:stock 855-tStylin hose kitNew vaccum linesNew gas capNew oil filler capRegapped plugsMBC almost set to the max settingOn average between 14-17 psiLow ~ 12psiHigh~ 18psiMy car says 19.3 mpg on 93 octane and 18.1 on 89 octane per tank fullCost for the chip to my house was $185.00. Time it took from my door step to inmotion and back was less than 5 days but I sent it out via 3day priority mail and it was shipped back overnight (I think).Still the best bang for the buck mod I have done thus far. Still no CEL codes from the chip or any other proplem, sans the need for two front tires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I went with InMotion too and am happy with it. I'm using a MBC and before doing this with the stock ECU (stock '95 855T), if I boosted too high (over ~13psi) I'd hit fuel/ign cutoff, get a CEL with overboost code. Now I can boost to 16 psi, no problems. Great bang for the buck compared to IPDs @ $800. I submitted an offer of $170 which was accepted outside of Ebay via e-mail plus $14 to ship one way, free return shipping. Had the ECU back in less than 1 week.
