Description

The Volvo C30 T5 P&P Conversion is something we built and configured a few years ago.

 

This is an ongoing project, that gets development whenever we get a vehicle in for tuning / configuration.

 

At the heart of our system is the incredibly powerful MaxxECU Race H2O: https://www.p-v-e.co.uk/product/maxxecu-race-h2o-ecu-only/

 

Working Systems

We have the vehicle functioning and working as it should. It starts and runs on the normal key arrangement. The fuel pump works correctly VIA PWM control within a table in the ECU. Sequential fuel injection all working. Sequential ignition all working. Both VVT’s working and functioning correctly. Boost control functioning and working correctly. Use of the original Wideband Lambda sensor working correctly.

 

Fuel Gauge, Speedometer, Temperature Gauge, Tachometer working correctly.

 

All wheel speeds are defined within CAN, so traction control should be able to be programmed by the end user no problems.

 

DTC Button on stalk defined within the CAN system.

 

Steering wheel buttons defined within the CAN system, to be used as whatever they are programmed for.

 

MIL defined and working as it should.

 

Air Conditioning now working as it should, and tuneable within the ECU.

 

Traction control system defined and working, able to tune this within the ECU software. Traction control disabled using the OEM stalk.

 

Base map provided, along with 1hr of Remote Access to get the vehicle up and running. As with all these vehicles, we recomend dyno tuning, we provide a base map only. Tuning can be done here, or by any tuner, ideally familiar with MaxxECU.

 

Fully tuneable MaxxECU race software M-Tune. All tuning parameters unlocked and able to be modified. CAN protocol LOCKED to the ECU serial.

 

 

The harness we sell is a custom link harness between the ECU and the OEM connector. These are different to the Focus ST/RS ones as the pinout is different. The ECU will need to be mounted elsewhere, behind the battery or otherwise. Or the OEM airbox will need to  be  modified to fit the harness and the MaxxECU inside. Both have been done and look great. There are extra connectors on the harness for EGT & extra I/O for connection at your discression.

 

 

I used the plugin while making this video a few years ago on youtube:

You will recieve updates to the ECU protocol as and when I update them. Please bare in mind, this may be months/years. If you are not happy with it’s current incarnation, please don’t purchase. That said, the negatives are very few:

 

Work to be completed on the project:

 

Well, the vehicle is able to start and run of course. We need to make a small modification to the Starter Relay on the CEM, a plug in piece of cable essentially. The reason for this is I can’t work around the Immobiliser at this point. So we run a bypass. This does leave an ‘Immobiliser’ message on the dash also. A buttonpush on the stalk removes this of course.

 

I’ve not worked on the Cruise Control properly either. So as a feature, this is not working presently, and I’d need to get a car in with one fitted, to test finish this up. The cruise control issue, will be able to be rectified, but I need to actually resolve this with a car. This will be completed, but I don’t know when.

 

The Immobiliser bypass, and message on the screen. I think may be something we’d have to live with frankly. It’s an extremely awkward thing to work around within the confines of what I have control of within the ECU.

 

I currently build these to order. It’s not something we sell many of naturally. We normally suggest a 6-week lead time from point of sale, to the system at your door.
