Chip for a 10 valve?
Hello fellow Volvo Enthusiest, seems you people may be able to answer this easily sinse you have much knowledge on the subject.
Woundering if there is a performance chip for a B 5252 S 10 valve motor?
I have a 1996 850 GLE, I believe this ten valve is only avaible in Canada, so a Canadian chip company may be the only to program for it. Aside from a K&N filter, no extra horsepower of any kind is under the hood (and that may be an extra 2 hp at best).
Here are the specs:
OUTPUT: 142 hp at 5400 rpm
TORQUE: 152 lbs. at 3600 rpm
2.4 L
10.0:1 compression ratio
Not to impressive really. But the funny thing is it will actually pull about a car length in front of a 20 valve motor for a short distance (in my red light confrontations

) . I think it is because it peaks in torque about 1100 rpm sooner.
Is there any hope for this motor?

Here are some pics of baby. I think I need some lowering springs, stabilizer bar and strut brace to balance out the slightly heavier than stock wheels.

Spearzy,
Finally got those pictures to work huh?

That is a nice and clean looking car you have! The only thing I would do on the outside, is put a spoiler on it and then do those suspension upgrades like you mentioned.

SAM quoted back 12-15 horsepower gain today. Thanks for the lead to. As soon as I figure out what "4350sek + freight" in Canadian currency I'll be all set
haha, they actually said that Eurosport Tuning will carry this chip upgrade in a little while down the road. This is good because they operate out of Canada too.
Well... considering you can hop on down to your local car parts store (advance auto parts or auto zone, etc) and pick up an air filter for $25, I'd say its the cheapest hp

I put one on my 4runner. You get a little better throttle response (nothing big) but I like it b/c of the sound. Too bad your car isn't a T5 b/c then you'd get the cool wooosh of the recirculation valve

Yeah, my friends with Hondas all have these and definately makes the car sound awesome with some extra pull. My buddy who has a prelude had to cut away a portion of the wheel well to allow some cold outside air to get in, can that be done on an 850? Would I have to do that without the airbox?
