Howdy folks!
I've got the whole T5.5 setup en route via mail here.
I'm doing this swap why?
reasons: same bosch VR sensor and flywheel uses 60-2 trigger pattern (yay LH 2.4), same idle air motor, ect
I'm aiming to pull 28~mpg freeway with ethanol. I know it can be done! LH 2.4 is batch fire, uses an air mass meter, and will very easily max out with 400whp.
I have lh 2.4 tuned alright with the ostrich, but I absolutely relish the idea of trionic, considering all of it's very cool strong points. I'm looking forward to it.
The only hurdles currently that I can forsee is:
the volvo flywheel missing teeth are 87bdtc, where as trionic requires 117deg.
This will require probably (HOPEFULLY) just shifting the flywheel over a bolt hole to get it all to work. I'm looking for 20 teeth, and I PRAY it's that easy. If not, I'll have to start chopping the bellhousing :cry:
My question: IS the trigger angle CHANGEABLE via flashing? is there an area in the programming that can be changed? I've tried Dilemma of t5 suite and no response via email. I'm hoping it's that simple, that way I don't have to pull the flywheel at all. It would be nice, however I will do the work if necessary. It's RWD after all, not terribly hard.
Anyway, I've read the threads on Mike's swap, very good read. All the hard gremlins are accounted for. This is my only dilemma(lol) concerning the swap, if this were changeable, I'd be able to just plug it in and fire it up.
setup:
84 volvo 242 turbo
93 b230F block/11:1 compression/e85/1200cc injectors/16v head
holset hx52/pulse-paired exhaust manifold w/ dual wastegates 38mm
big honkin' plenum intake.

slight drivearound with no shens
