Hi heres my little project ;)

[theflyingbrick]

I prefer the old ones

[hybriduno]

ok so heres what ive done.......but it wont run atm so I think I have it wired wrong ><


Hot soldering iron made a cut so it will sit correct





test fit!


heat shrink ready


all soldered up!


ostrich in place!


Ohh and new seats!

Now the fun begins.

OMP Seats look good! They comfy? What model are they, i'd quite like a nice simple seat like that for mine.

Hybriduno,
After reading your post and asking if you were on M4,4 I did the M4.3 conversion as well. Somehow for the autoxbox, an MIL from the TCM is lighting it up but that's not why I'm posting.
I just want to let you know that the round BCS (if you're using EBC, forget this comment), will cause boost spike unless you change to the newer square BCS. It's like the duty cycle is off between the two BCS.
Anyway I'm back on Dilemma's M4,3 program as I can't seem to get round the MIL from the TCM. All the DTC off commands are for the emission only. Maybe I'll head over to VolvoSpeed and see if there are any updates

[hybriduno]

I have the newer style bcs im getting nice peaks but no spikes. and holding a steady 22psi on a good map

Nice, and we'll done for getting no spikes.

How's the emulator working out?

I'm going over to 4.4, what BCS do I need? The V70 one?

From what I`ve read on wiki/volvospeed you need the square S60/V70 one.

[hybriduno]

All bolted up internally including Wideband/boost sensor/moates ostrich

[Volvostorm]

Looks very tidy

Fancy doing another one?

[hybriduno]

any time paul

[oblark]

Looking good

What wideband o2 sensor are you using ??

Have you wiried into the ECU ??

[Volvostorm]

One thing, why is everybody fitting an Ostrich?

I've been reading the thread on Volvospeed, but I can't work out what it does.

Same here

[hybriduno]

Same here

Without the ostrich you need 13v+ to write to the flash, in most cases people need either a) a battery charger to boost your power to flash or b) to remove the ecu every time and put on an external power source.
Also the flash read/write/verify times are about 2-3 mins direct via obd2..............with the ostrtrich I write/read/verify in under 10 seconds.

so a process that would usually take an hour ei: unknown injectors scaling/timing/fueling now takes about 5 minutes and can be done at the side of the road rather than returning home everytime.

there are many many other advantages but that's the main thing for me

You can't do it the exactly the same way as yours as most of your connectors are at the side of the ECU.
These will not fit in the OE ECU slots unless theirs is also without the ECU casing
My 2 cents

[hybriduno]

I have the standard ecu casing on my volvaxo

Thanks for that, I understand it

As my 850 doesn't have an OBD port, it looks like something I will need for mapping etc

If I supply a 4.4, how much to build one up for me?

If you supply all the parts, ill do it for beer tokens bud
