Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi Red

I'm interested in the exhaust backbox (maybe other bits of exhaust too) although depends on how much a couriers going to cost!

Thanks in advance

Search on here, I've posted the ignition/fuel maps before which I extracted from the EPROMs.

does any one know what flywheels went with what ecus?this is the first iv heard of it and it mite explain some issues.cheers. also do the two ecu have to be the same colour? if some one could write me a table to say 60-1 flywheel =red fuel ECU and red Ignition ecu. but with the correct info not my ...

I'm running ITBs, we custom made a manifold and the ITBS are from a Suzuki GSXR750 of course I'm using AlphaN and Megasquirt to run it all

Megane Phase 2 16V are 280mm, drive shaft arrangement etc.. is same as 400 Volvos, not sure if the hub/wishbone arrangement will fit though?

It would be much better to use the engine for soemthing in the house *tries to think of something*

I know build a stairlift (you know like what old people have) with a B18FT engine that powers it up and down

Yeah, it actually physically yanks the pedal down. Its like cruise control that you can't turn off!! As far as I am aware the standard ECU had no means for moving the actual throttle linkage, my guess is that the LPG conversion has fitted some form of vacuum/electronic controlled actuator on the th...

Like i said....b20f The 440 is on a b18u - thus fully proving your point. How much do you know about this ecu? - It physically pulls on the throttle when i switch to lpg, so it idles at between 1500 - 3000 rpm. Something about the lpg upsets it, and i've not had time to figure out what. Its quite p...

When i bought my 440, i diagnosed a blown ecu for the reason it wasn't fuelling/firing.

I plugged the b20f ecu in from my old est's original lump, and away it went!!

Idle was wrong, but bar that, no problems.

What engine was the EST original lump?

ive always found it strange why Volvo chose to run all 4 injectors at once, but then it dawned on me - I bet the B20F ECU is similar/the same as the B18U single point ECU hardware wise; this could only control one injector - instead of altering the entire ECU design they just altered the software/MA...

Beryls awesome - i love the fact i can put XP in one VMware session on one desktop, have multiple mplayers running on different desktops, a XMMS on another one and then i can rotate the screen on the cube but see everything being rendered all at the same time on every face (as the cube is semi-trans...

I've downloaded Ubuntu, and am going to have a going at running dual operating systems. - To go with my dual monitors -And dual cores...though only 2.2ghz duos and 2gb of ram. Dual Xeon!! Thats madness. Does compliling code take a long time? I'd only buy something like that for FE/CFD simulations i...

Hi all, I'm trying to trace where the white/red cable goes in the engine harness (specifically on a B20F but I'm guessing its standard across the range) it ends up at a relay behind the dashboard (alongside the main ECU relay (with the pink cable) and the fuel pump relay (grey/red cable)). Its power...

Meh you should get yourselves onto Linux - I run Ubuntu on my dual processor dual-core Xeon 3ghz box with 4gig ram - its pretty nippy running Firefox and surfing I would expect firefox to run well with dual 3gig cpu's and 4gig RAM. Does it do anything special? What the PC? I use it for surfing/e-ma...

Meh you should get yourselves onto Linux - I run Ubuntu on my dual processor dual-core Xeon 3ghz box with 4gig ram - its pretty nippy running Firefox and surfing ;) And my Vista machine at work crashes whenever the screensaver comes on - I can't understand what Micro$oft did to XP - although more bl...

Pull out your plugs and see what colour they are, easy way of checking how the engines running. Shaking could be anything, missfire perhaps? If it is running really rough though caning it trying to go faster than 120mph is probably not the wisest thing to do. Have you serviced it lately? I think you...

8 watts! Thats mighty impressive

Whats it run like on LPG?

Well The Suns not exactly the most reliable newspaper is it - I wonder if this even happened

How much heavier is the diesel to the petrol? I'm sure you can't lower the diesel 440/460s because the engines a lot heavier so the front of the car sits lower to the ground - not sure if this would cause an issue in a 480?
