Volvo S60r Blow Off Valve Question.


Recommended Posts

Thanks, I took the volvo in for service a while back because I had the service display on but when I got the car back from the dealer they didnt get rid of the display so I disconnected the battery and it seemed to reset everything but the display is still there. I did feel that the car drove differently for a bit so I know now from your statement that it did reset the ecu but why the "take the car in for service" display is still there I have no clue, maybe I have to get the radio code like Jaxx said.

^ yea i was thinking that I might buy that same plastic i/c pipe and cut that one or that one already in the car and just switch them out when I go in for service and that same with the vac. lines if i decide to run the stock bypass and the hks ssqv together. any idea how much that piece of i/c pipe would cost from the dealer?

if your going to weld the bov to the charge pipe you'll need to find a 04. can't remember when but, the 04 is metal. after that at some point they went to a plastic charge pipe.

I have a 2005 s60r (which i believe a made a mistake in another thread and stated it was a 2006) but anyways the question I have is if I can install an after market blow off valve such as an hks sqq without having problems with the ecu?

You should not fit a dump valve/BOV to any of Volvo's post '99 turbo cars that are fitted with the Bosch ME7 ECU.

These ECU's react very badly to the presense of one of these devices as they rely on very precise and related readings from the various sensors on the inlet tract.

^ what if i recirculate the hks bov back into the system?

Why? There is a recirc valve already..

And this valve has proven to be capable enough to handle the power of a fully tuned R with the stock turbo. Lets say 350 HP at the crank.

It also worked without a flaw with an internally K26 spec updated turbo making close to 370 HP at the crank.

IS this sarcasm or you actually don't think it will?

You know if they see that you chipped your car, they dont' even touch it?

i work at a dealer. to void your warranty they have to prove that whatever modifacation you did is the direct cause of failure for whatever compononent. and i work on chipped cars all the time. it all depends on the dealer

I just wanted the "sound" of the bov to scare old people lol but I see now that I would have to put a chip in order to do that which will give me a gain of 20 hp if i am correct, a basic ram air intake,and an exhaust. what other mods can I do to get some power out of her without having to go with a bigger turbo or any other "major" modifications?

also how much power will the auto tranny hold?

and the k26 spec you speak of, I am assuming they basically change the internals of the turbo, such as the impeller but keep the housing?

thanks,

mike
