venderbroeck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 That's the stock setup you're hearing. Goes to show these cars sounded pretty good from the factory to start with. 1 Quote
lookforjoe Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 That's the stock setup you're hearing. Goes to show these cars sounded pretty good from the factory to start with. That's funny. I guess its been sometime since I heard a stock 850/V70 1 Quote
volvoguy23 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Makes more sense for interested people to contact him via PM, since this is hand built product. It's not as if the word won't get around. Yeah your right, just saying this a nice feature since many people including myself always thought it was the clutch or something else causing the hang up, never really looked into it I guess. Also when doing a burnout at the strip when I would go to push the clutch in after full throttle burnout my rpm's would hang and very slowly climb back down and is very obnoxious, would this eliminate that or is that a different issue? Fixed, sorry just woke up. Edited February 8, 2015 by volvoguy23 1 Quote
venderbroeck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Report Posted February 8, 2015 I think that kind of behaviour would definately be suppressed / eliminated. No vac leaks you're aware of? I know when shifting at 6k+ rpm with m43 it displays this behaviour aswell. It even rises in rpm sometimes when disengaging the clutch. This mod takes care of that. 1 Quote

volvoguy23 Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 I had the car running great and there were no vac or boost leaks I was aware of... I'm definitely interested and will send a pm. I really like the sound of this mod. 1 Quote
German850R Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 That's a great mod to get rid of the biggest annoyance on these P80 cars with the old throttle body design. I guess I need one ;) 1 Quote
German850R Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I'd like to report that I now have a defloater in my second 850 T5M.It is a huge improvement in driveability, makes the car feel more modern and fast shifts are now smooth as they should be. I have it on the fastest setting and it is spot on.Very clean installation as well!Sometimes it is the little things that make the biggest difference. 1 1 Quote

Popular Post venderbroeck Posted September 15, 2015 Author Popular Post Report Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) It's been a while, but I've been working on a new trinket in my spare time.Here it is:This gem is a little rough to look at still, but it makes up for that in functionality.Everytime I start my car and a sd card is inserted in the slot, it will:-Create a file with the current month day hour and minute as the filename.-determine the size of the frames that are coming in.-record the frames on the sd card-update the "last modified" timestamp of the file after every frame.And the thing that really makes this awesome is that it creates the log in the correct tunerpro .xdl format. So it can be loaded straight into TunerPro.I'm thinking of adding a usb port to make it a direct replacement for the vag com cable.I'll probably also add a piëzo speaker to signal for knock events and stuff like that for some added functionality.I'm still contemplating wether to put it all inside a obd plug housing, or to make a seperate housing with an optional obd extention attached to some screwheaders.After driving around with it for a bit I can say it really simplifies things. Just stick in the card, start the car and just forget about it. Leave it in for a week or a month, and it produces a neatly ordered row of logs for every drive you did.

gdog Posted September 16, 2015 Report Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Pretty f****** sweet!!Can't tell from here but what kind of electronics you got in there? A micro-controller proto board plus level-changing logic?BTW: how is it that you have any spare time?! Edited September 16, 2015 by gdog 1 Quote
venderbroeck Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks everyone ^^I have a micro, the sd-card module, and a RTC in there.Also a little something for the k-line interface, and you can see the lm7805.I don't have much spare time as I'm also building a logbox for someone.That's why it's still looking like that.Most of the work was reverse engineering the xdl format, and programming. 1 1 Quote
