i've got a standard M4.4, & no it wouldn't work in my 854. After speaking to Adam (Turbo Tuner) he said its to do with the immobilizer that the S/V70 has which the 850 hasn't, ie its not completing the transducer circuit. He also said that could be removed for me when i got it Turbo Tuned, whether remapping it removes it as well depends on the manufacture i'd of thought. I've attached a file that explains some other differences between the 2 ecu's LINK (https://www.box.com/s/8mqcpnlbh69g42zik7gy)

i think the main issue is the immobilizer circuit, so depends if that functions been removed via the remap or not. According to Adam the other wiring/missing sensors weren't the reason it wasn't running in BT

Ok...cheers Frankie luv ya too :)

All i know on the subject factually...I have a turbo-tuner 4.4 in my 850 and the only question Adam asked was did i have air-con, no it was removed a while ago so met Adam plugged a 4.4 into my 850 and it started.

Brick, in reply to your pm...yes i will try the standard 4.4 from the saffy in the 850 but the ecu has never been out of the saffy so still got the security band around it and being -3 at the mo you got no chance till tomorrow.

Oh and yeah Frankie is a Numpty Boy :)

No it don't work. The TT i have must have something's adapted within it :), after reading Pedro's link i can see why.

it'll be the immobilizer circuit, did it almost fire the first time but just crank only from then on

No it just cranked, but i think vxr inj would of just flooded it from the start.

Yeah about 3 times as much but depending on how far you want to change things on your car gives you total control and when you add up what you will spend on in the future on different maps..... :)
