Installing chip.

Post by jimmi_swe » Sun Sep 06, 2009 8:11 pm

Hi!
I bought a 480 for about 1 year ago (my number six 480) and in the buy it includes a chip especially made for the car. But as seen on the pic the chip are to big to fit......
I thought the chip was ment to be in the turbo box but maby im wrong, shall it go into the cem?
Please help.

i think you will find thats the wrong chip , the cem does not do the fueling timing and engine managment.
140mph for £175 just test the brakes

Chip

Post by V480TI » Mon Sep 07, 2009 10:56 am

The way I see it is that that still can be a chip for the Volvo 480 turbo, but for versions with the double printed circuit bord.

So maybe you can locate such a (purple ??) ECU, try to start your car on it, if it runs , you can try and change the chip.

But ::: I do not know if the chip is the only thing you must change, do not know about resistors and so on.

Good, I hope you will be sorted with a double pcb.
And have a lot of fun performance.

Allright..
I cheked my box that rpruen has modded.. :) Thanks agin for that.
And in this box it´s ok to put it in. so if you dont have the double pcb
then you can´t chip it??
Beacuse the different boxes don match diffrent car years so i im lucky then..
Now i just have to buy a anoter box to install the chip in. Purple box.
