Volvo security code

[Billy Andrews]

I just purchased a Volvo radio/tape deck SC-811 from a 95-97 850 or 960, in
like-new condition, and I want to sell it on eBay. I can sell it much
better if I can get the security code. How can I do this?

Thanks,
Billy Andrews

What a hassle for need a security code! Some Volve driver told me that
you replace
a computer chip inside of Volve you get a extra power. I was thinking
how in
the world replacing a new computer chip making a car more power. Only
way you
get a more power is put more gas it it. There is kindergarden physic.

Adjusting of air/fuel ratios, ignition timing, yadda-yadda is done by a
"computer" The chip does in fact allow more fuel to pass by increasing
injector pulse duration and also brings in more air.

But of course you already knew that.

Economy goes out the window but power goes up.

Bet you knew that too.

so my car has more HP when the tank is full compared to 1/4 full because a
full tank is more gas. I learn something new every day.

MPG is going down when you put more push on cylinder. There is no way
the car get more power
without burning more gas on cylinder. That's babe physic.

[Chris Mullins]

so when more push put on cylinder more good english down drain, mean better
hp and mpg down drain.

why is it that diesel engines get such good MPG? they have no gas at all,
they should have no hp according to you

Many engines respond to being supercharged by getting better mileage. I
went from 17-18 on the Hwy to 21MPG after supercharging.


'Splain that physics boy.

Mine is 30MPG without supercharging it.

Try burning more gas inside of your ass, it will burn forever...
Of course, I can throw mustard and ketchup in your face...

See I better throw mustard and ketchup in your face..

Chad brings up a good point, though. It's common to get better fuel
economy after adding a supercharger or turbocharger.

The reason is that increasing the cylinder pressure in the engine
increases efficiency. You can do this by either raising the static
compression ratio (high-compression pistons, thinner head gasket,
milling down the cylinder head), or by forcing more air/fuel mixture
into the cylinders (turbocharger/suprecharger).

Of course, if you raise the cylinder pressure too high, you run into
detonation unless you use higher-octane gasoline, or install some kind
of intercooler or water/alcohol injection system to cool down the fuel
mixture. Increasing the cylinder pressure also increases the amount
of heat that the engine produces, so you have to make sure your
cooling system is in good condition and has adequate capacity.

Increasing compression is one of the few modifications that will
improve both power and fuel economy.

The commuter gets 34 in my life,

The other, although gets less mileage, runs quarters in the mid 12's.
Soooo, it gets just a tad less than the Volvo and will run circles
around it :) As for a "computer chip" it's a laptop.

Increase air/fuel mixture means "increase" fuel. As amount of air
going into
engine, amount of fuel has to do up, therefore this incrases the fuel
consumption.
Your logic is not true. There is no study suggests supercharger or
turbocharger
good for fuel consumption. you just like sound . That's all.

Does anyone else picture the neighbor from Laos on "King of the Hill" when
they read this guy's posts?

why is that?

I was talking about increasing **cylinder pressure**, not air/fuel
ratio. You can keep the amount of air and fuel the same, but if you
compress it more before you ignite it, you'll get more power and
higher efficiency.

And the effects on fuel economy of increasing cylinder pressure are
well-documented, whether you increase it by raising the engine's
compression ratio, or by adding a supercharger/turbocharger. Look it
up for yourself if you don't believe me.

It makes the engine more efficient so it produces more power for given
energy input (fuel,air). IF driven the same a more efficient engine will
get better mileage regardless of displacement.
