510 bhp is it possible

[ikp_77]

is it possible to our engines up to 510 bhp of a remap

[Tomcat]

It's certainly possible to get these engines upto and past that sort of power output, but it takes a hell of a lot more than just a remap. The connecting rods are the week point, these need replacing, then a much,much bigger turbo is needed, along with bigger injectors etc,etc... I could go on but then again why should I when R.T.Mechanics have already built a car that's exceeded those figures....

[Mrsmopp]

Not without copious amounts of cash sitting around and bloody good mechanic!

[T4_Al]

whats so magic about 510 horsepower?

[Al115]

No possibility that you mean 310bhp is there? The answer's no, again, but it's a little more realistic!

Cheers.

Hi Ikp

In answer to your question its not possible with just a re map as such you will need to change lots of items the standard volvo ecu is a limit for a start Good luck

why? i run a gt30 with a volvo ecu?

Hi Spesh

I did not know you have 510 or more hp its not that its impossible its just the standard ecu will limit you with such things as a maf etc it would need to handle the power and have the adjustability you would need with such crazy silly numbers

Hi Russ, can you give more specific information - what do you think the limit for a 850/S7-/V70 MAF is?. What other specific limitations are there when you mention"maf etc".

Thanks in anticipation

[Al115]

I'm already hitting the MAF limits with my T4 and that's hardly running any real power at all.

[Tim Williams]

The T4 will saturate it's larger MAF very early due to the type of sensor.

If you have well written software then even when the MAF reaches it's limits it should not be hard to tune. Another option would be to adapt the standard ECU to read MAP then you would not have to forgo all the in built safety features and alarm/ immobiliser and ABS.

Go standalone and remove the maf

[Al115]

Pain in the arse (though one possible route, that I am indeed considering...!)

[Enigma666]

I bought the VEMS system for my T4 after seeing some of the work achieved on it, it is a really impressive bit of kit. Never actually got round to fitting mine though lol
Still sat in a cupboard looking all scary with like 200 wires :O

[Tomcat]

Cluck, cluck...CHICKEN!!!!....get it fitted....

Which vems system did you get and wheres the best place to get them from also would it work with the t5 engines.
Also with these sysems do you have to run coil packs?
cheers pete

[Enigma666]

Hiya mate, I got mine direct from VEMS (only way to get them) but there is a guy on the uk vems forum (Rob I think he was called) who arranged the whole thing for us.
T5 will run fine off it, it supports up to V10 I think.
No coil packs required, although it can support those too (like the T4)

Hope that helps

[t5 pete]

will you be selling yours some time in the future?

[Enigma666]

Yup, mine is up for sale now....doubt I will need it tbh for my C70....not planning anything too radical just yet for it

[Al115]

Might be in touch if the NOmex doesn't work out
