2 ITG Panal Filter

3 Strut Brace.

In coming months i plan to upgrade my brakes , refurb and fit 17" titans I have in my cellar before my 16" p zeros run out of tread a boost gauge and a road angel

:tank: :thewave:

[sean850r]

Hi All - Some advice please.

Spoke to Volvo Tuning about having ECU Upgrade (Rica). Would boost to 300+ BHP.

Are there any negatives, as £470 was not a lot of cash for a lot of extra power.

Am really keen to do it, so appreciate comments

[Wobbly Dave]

As they say in the Nike advert -

just do it.

I have had RICA since July - love every minute of it. I feel a little paranoid about whether the AT can handle the extra power - but I think that was just down to my power braking. :hidesbehi

I will also say that your fuel economy will go down more whilst pounding it but be better over all. Plus it is the best way to get the extra power.

Don't forget that the money is not just for the ECU upgrade - the VT crew will check your car and make sure everything is working as it should be - and advise you on the general condition. So it is a top notch service.

They also like donuts.

[Mrsmopp]

I looked into all the upgrades available before choosing RICA. Best £ for HP and service and support is second to none. Once its done you will wonder how you ever got on without it!

[lance]

well worth it I paid the old full fat price get it done you wont regret it im sure.

[Markzx]

Some of you guys have really done some serious mods i'm impressed. I thought it was just Jap Petrol heads that spent serious wad.

My C70 is standard and I think it will stay that way as I've spent far too much on my other toys and the dog kennel is far too cold this time of year + the dog says I'm going to have to marry her if I keep sharing her bed :eek: :dgrin: :dgrin:

Done a lot to the Z (30K including purchase price 5 years ago) ,but nothing to my Gen 7 TRD celica which is a bit of a hoot even though its only 230 bhp but it weighs nothing.

[wright_t5]

Intersting reading about all these BHP claims, I had mine on the dyno last friday up at Thor Engineering, she topped out at 189 :eek: at the wheels, so I am not sure where all these 300+ figures come from... anyone out there got any info... I know I haven't done many mods, brakes, ecu upgrade, K&N, Stainless Cat Back, but still the pod, so where all theses horses hiding?? :sinner:

Oh, the torque curve has increased a bundle with the upgrade from Standard,

:thewave:

[Pedro Fandango]

you went to Thor thats only down the road from me. Let me know if/when your going again & i'll either see about booking mine in at the same time or just meeting up (how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking)

[wright_t5]

i ONLY WENT ON THE BACK OF A FRIEND FROM WORK, HE HAS A TWIN TURBO SUPRA, SPENT LOADS AND ENDED UP WITH 360 bhp, HE IS WELL PLEASED, (DAM CAPs lock) :sinner:

Anyway, I had a power run, cost me £60 takes about half an hour, not that impressed, although the gear was ok, we have a rolling road nearby (5 miles) so might book a power run there main reason for going was to hope that they could av a look at the hesitation I have wiff me motor, boost, no boost, boost no boost, really drives me mad, it's ok if you punch it hard in sports mode, but it's wierd when driving "normal" runbit surprised that the horses were not higher, torque is, will boost to 14LBs occasionally, but not consistent. :wink:

[C70T5]

I get in my car, upgrade concluded.

[Bracer]

The Mrs! when I sneeked of to get my rica done, although shes cool now she wont let me forget that one in a hurry, but I still say it was worth it even if I did end up in the spare room ! I did drop hints and try and tell her but the answer would have been no! :hidesbehi.

Good choice of plates. Hope santa manages to drop them down your chimney ok :santawave

Yes! Very similar scenario here. Think RICA must be very high up on the list of relationship problem causes. Although mine said I could have it, she wasn't impressed when she saw the bill.

I just read through pedro's mods ... SMOKE machine ?? Guessing it is a joke yeh ??

[Cueball_MOB]

My Mods - Black tints and I've got a VPCUK sticker on my tailgate window that I'm sure adds at least another 20 BHP!

Numpty moment - while waiting for Tara to 'nip in Morrisons' the other day I was mooching about and caught sight of the sticker in my rear view mirror. I nearly jumped out of my seat as I thought I'd put it on back to front seeing as I could read it perfectly - Yeah you've guessed it, it was the right way round I hadn't taken the mirror into account. Stupid Boy!

[abdul]

Did U Find A Iambo Door Kit

[ragtop]

Well there were a few companies that said that they did a kit, but when i checked into it, they stated that it was a bolt on job, and that no welding was needed. With my car the door hinge was a bolt on, but the pillar side is welded. I could have a kit put on that will be welded, but the cost would be around £3500.
There was also the 'lsd' kit, but with this company, they said that they dont do one for a c70, but a universal one might fit, that was around £1200, but not sure of works needed to make it fit.
There is one major problem as well. If you check into it, like a door kit for a bmw 3 series, they have hollow wings, as where volvos don't, they are sealed.Did U Find A Iambo Door Kit

Drop it 40mm all round to get rid of the space between arch and tyre
New black trim and door handles
New grill for the front
An exhaust that doesnt have a rattle :D
Black dash and centre console with white dials
Re-spray.. the white isn't as white as it used to be
Some sort of spoiler/wing (but not a huge pee-take one that seems to be a favourite idea among my friends)

POWER AND PERFORMANCE

Current best RR

387.5 bhp (355 @wheels) at 5800rpm. This was done before the current wategate, manifold, exhaust system and with the fuellign leanign out and clutch slipping, as well as beign aborted at 5800rpm with the curve still climbing and the car mapped to 7500rpm (we never go past 7000 though)


Current performance figures (Taken from speedo video, allowing for over read to best of fairness, ie 0-100 time was 0-110 on the speedo) - AGAIN on an old spec before the recent manifold, exhaust, clutch mods.

20-60 : 3.2 seconds
20-100 : 9.0 seconds
20-140 : 17.9 seconds
30-70 : 4.1 seconds
30-130 14.0 seconds
0-100 10.5 seconds

Ross.

PS - and yes I am selling my Skyline because the onyl thing I ever had that could keep up with this was my 380 bhp 1050kg rover which I sold, so I might as well give up and get a cheap diesel, the volvo makes a fool of the skyline every time we have a play.
