fromtheshadows Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Looks cool, what kind of price is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted September 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Looks cool, what kind of price is it?I have no clue. They are from South Africa and I contacted a few US dealers but never heard back. I don't know if the company has poor service or support outside of Africa or what.

fromtheshadows Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Apparently Gale Banks engineering has used them, so they can't really suck. However, most of us aren't engineers so customer service is high on my list of concerns...and price is up there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything between $700 and $1k would be worth it with those features.Hey, do you have a closeup of your car besides that dinky sig pic? I want to see your wheels b/c they look badass in your sig!

WhiteT5 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I looked into this a bit back when I was researching piggybacks. There is a dude in Quebec using it for his Volvo; don't remember his name though. Apparently the problem with it is that it just modifies voltages and the ECU starts to adjust around it.

Depending on how much you adjust, long term fuel trim will just catch back up eventually. There's a right way to use piggybacks and a wrong way - you have to know the right way to get them to work right on MAF cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geevs Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I looked into this and emailed a few PP reps. They said they have not tried it on Volvo 5-cyl - has something to do with, If I recall Correctly, determining some "crank triggers" and "gear tooth" to work. I was quoted around $700 for the "basic package" whatever that is.I think the guy in Quebec used a SMT6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAydAy Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 There is someone here in town using an SMT6 on an 850. It didn't work well. Its a glorified S-AFC, and 850's go into open loop over 4000 rpm. You do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
