I have no problem getting turned into a boost junky. I emailed INMotion and it is $300.

This is going to sound like a total noob question becuase it is. I have been beating around the bush on this for a long time and have never really gotten an answer. Everytime I look up the 850 model it seems someone has a new name for their 850. I've heard of non-turbo, GLT, turbo, T5, T5-R, R and all types of variants. My question is how do I know exactly which one mine is. All it came with was the word turbo on the back of the car. Does this mean it's a T5?

Also, do I have a High pressure turbo or low pressure turbo?

 

In order to save my own *** on such a dumb question, The GLT was instated in 1997 with a "High torque, Low Rev" turbo which produced 190HP. Seeing this I believe I have the T5 with 222 HP considering it is a '95 and I know it is not an R.

But what is the difference between T5, T5-R, and R?

 

I believe turbo and T5 is the same....222hp
I believe the T5-R and the R have an extra HP when you get on it by raising the boost......240hp

All of the turbo, T5, T5-R, and R models use the same 15G turbo, but the exhaust housings vary.....
The European "R" got the 16T turbo
You probably have a Turbo model.

 

TIPSP is right! It just depends on the year your car model is. 96-97 T5 is same as 94-95 Turbo. And an R is same as T5R. Not positive on the years though. But once yu get the right "tune" They all can make the same power.
Yur 95 Turbo is a HPT. 15G....
So Stop procrastinating and get the tune. Go to ebay, find the Volvo 850 ECU tune for $225, and bid. If you want it now, its $275. Just that easy!

 

Send me a link cjstang. I have searched ebay and can't find it at all.

So I have a '95 T5 but am running a T5-R ECU. Will this cause a problem if I have the T5-R ECU chipped?

 

you should be fine.get that ecu chiped. you can look in inmotiontuning.com
Its funny I actuly sold my MK3 supra to buy my T5R.

 

Is this the tuning you are running?
What other upgrades do you have?

 

no iam running a speedtuning tune 17psi my sig says all the mods i done so far.

 

They only have buy it now's listed at the moment. If someone bought one in the last couple days, it usually gets relisted in another day or so.
Keep watching, or even save the search and ebay will email you if one comes up.
Good Luck.

 

Running the chipped T5-R ecu will be fine.
I have an Upsolute tuned 96 ECU in mine right now.
The real plus on the ECU I have is it deletes the EGR system in the car.
I run the MBC because like already said every car is different. Mine was supposed to be the 15 PSI tune and in my car it was only running about 12 PSI without the MBC.
I also like the MBC because when the boost comes on it is alot smoother of a transition for it to come on and the boost comes alot faster then when it is controlled by the ECU.

 

So does anyone know what the actual difference between the T5 ECU and T5-R ECU. If what I understand is correct, both cars run the same turbo. Is the PSI increased or is it just a better mapping. When my brother put in the T5-R ECU we just noticed a little better spooling in late 3rd gear.

 

T5 R should have a little more boost. I think a T5 is 9psi and T5R is 12psi.
T5 makes 222hp at 9psi and I saw somewhere each psi is approx. 6 hp, so that puts a t5r at 240hp at 12psi.

 

Here is what INMotion has told me

"We can only guarantee the program aspect of the process, meaning that we cannot guarantee a non original ECU with function without possible faults. While we do have many customers running that ECU in a non R vehicle without problems, there is no guarantee expressed or implied that your experience will be the same."

So do you think I'm ok or should I be safe by selling the one I have on ebay and just buying a used T5 off ebay?

 

you be fine with your ecu. Iam runing a 97 t5 ecu on my car.and my car is a 95 850t5r.
I think they just want to cover thier rear end in case something screws up.

 

Hey let's switch. LOL

How long have you been running your chipped ECU?

 

I got my ecu used on VS. I have been running it for about a month now. The previus owner said he ran a 13.9 with it and a 16t, 3" turbo back.

 

Did he live in Socal? with a Black 854 R?

 

he dose have a 854r but i think his from washintong

 

Oh.....I ask cause....I was at a turbobrick/ swedespeed/ Volvospeed meet back in March. I meet a dude with a black 845R....every bolt-on you could do, he had, 16T, Plus he did the Manuel swap with a LSD. Man....that was a fun car to ride in.

 

could be the same guy because the reson he sold the ecu was the 5 speed swap.
that is my goal 16t 3" downpipe back and a built automagic trans.
