Default New to the volvoforum and need a tune for an 850r

How's everyone I just picked up a 850r and am looking for flash on my car
For supporting mods it has
-full 3in turbo back
-intake
-larger injectors (size ??)
-16t turbo

It seems to be running rich and I want to get all the power out of the car being it has the supporting mods to be able to get a lil more hp/tq out of it. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be a huge help. Thanks guys

Welcome! Nice car!

www.ardideas.com

ARD is where you need to go for your tune. Lucky (owner) is #1 on customer service and has honeslty the best tunes out there for these cars.

I'll second the vote for ARD. I bought Lucky's Green tune last year, with pretty much the same car in xjflexer's sig. '96 855R with M59 5-spd, 16t, 3" exhaust through dual Magnaflows. I have white injectors and an N/A throttle body to install some time soon.

Welcome. You got a good deal on that car, I recognize it from another forum.

Ard green is the remap you want.

I opted for the 4.4 conversion and rear-O2 delete when I upgraded my car. Lucky can explain the benefits of 4.4 in detail, but it boils down to much-improved fuel/spark maps over the earlier 4.3 as well as the car starts quicker due to the ECM remembering what position the cams and crank were when stopped. Oh, and being able to crank out 17 lbs of boost is a nice touch, too!
