    Any volvo owners ever have their ECM/ECU tuned? Im thinking of going to a place in orlando and getting it done. Just wondering has anyone ever done it on a d12. I have heard about getting it tuned and to make sure I dont allow them to increase the fuel pressure as that may hurt the engine.......

    Anyone?

    I always have this question about aftermarket stuff like Bully Dog and the illinoisdyno center. If they can improve performance and efficiency, why doesn't the manufacturer do it?

    companiers don't want fast powerful trucks..... do you realy want some NEWBIE running 600hp with 2100lb torque running up and DOWN the hills,
    CARB doesn't want dirty trucks.....
     
    Volvo 3031 and nikmirbre Thank this.

    x2 on CARB not wanting it. the manufactures are all kissing Cali's ### with this EGR BS....no other state requires EGR's. that's why you cant get fuel milage or power in a truck anymore without going to some sort of aftermarket dealer
     
    Volvo 3031 Thanks this.

    I have been watching you close every time some body mention ecm flashing or tuning you pop up, are you related or associated with this IllinoisDyno dudes, have you have anything done by them.....ect.
    do you have any dyno sheet's with before and after? if you have it will be really nice to share results.

    P.S Don't be flatted by me watching you close......to many fishing scams out there!

    From what I understand there is about 136 fuel maps that have to be changed, And about the same for the torque curve also, each one of them has EGR maps attached to them, each one of those maps have to be change takes the computer in question about eight hours of downloading and checking that's why that they have it there for couple days. The E square proms that sits on the Volvo ECM it's not very fast, so downloading does take a long time.
