Deleted The SAS And No Check Engine Light - Volvo 960

[@S40-k1n]

Very nice, these cars need more attention. Perfectly suitable for many mods while maintaining the subtle and elegance looks/drive. Looking forward for new videos, i also have a 960 with the 3 liters.

[@SATSMotors]

Thanks! 960 are great cars and lot more videos to come.

YESSSS!! Been searching for more content about the 960/s90 platform! They are overshadowed by the 850/s70 and the redblock cars. I have a 98 s90 and I had to order rear coilovers from Wales because I can't find any alternative here in the states! Not even a factory type replacement for the shocks!

[@SATSMotors]

These are great cars, but finding parts is quite hard.

[@jamayajackson5256]

@@SATSMotors So is your 960 an M4.4 car? I removed the air injection pump on my 98 s90 and it eventually gave a check engine light. Did you add a diode inside the ECU between pins 32 and 37 to prevent this?

[@SATSMotors]

Should be a M4.4. Didn't do anything else. Only unplugged it and removed. Did you check what error code did you have? Maybe the newer ones have a built in SAS check. Mine is from 1996.

[@theAngelofhevn]

I got a 1995 965 and my SAS delete was just to unplug the pump. No code whatsoever! i also did a EGR delete. just welded the Exhaust manifold, intake ports shut on the stainless tubing and theres 2 wires going to a cast iron valve under the intake. Just cut the wires going to it and install a 15K resistor between the wires and you are done!

[@SATSMotors]

Great info, thanks!

[@21globaltec2]

Great video, thanks for the info. I have a 97 3.0 and I really enjoy modifying cars, so, thanks a lot.

[@SATSMotors]

Thanks!

[@danio204]

Hey! Are you planning to go with a custom stainless steel exhaust manifold? Was the secondary air system broken in your car so you did the delete? Love your videos, especially the 960 ones :D

[@SATSMotors]

I'll keep the OE manifolds right now, but plan is to use this extra room for something special. SAS was working fine. Really great that you like the videos

[@KevinElmore2000]

You said two studs were broken. Was that before you did any work? Did you notice an exhaust leak?

[@SATSMotors]

Studs broke off when the exhaust leak was repaired. Did have a big exhaust leak when the studs were broken.

[@Qui666zhpe]

How thick was your plate? It didnt interfere with the coil pack?

[@SATSMotors]

2mm thick. It did but nothing that bad

[@Qui666zhpe]

@SATSMotors shits dope brother, doing this to my '96 960. Keep up the good work

[@Sukkamiesjames]

how does the car react to just removing the pump? i got no sas pump installed on my 960 2.9l, is that harmfull?

[@SATSMotors]

There will be no error codes if you just remove the pump. Removing the pump will not harm the engine. Only the catalytic converter will warm up slower.

[@meatballs9127]

@@SATSMotors Remove it as well

[@TurboTonyG]

Awesome video. Engine is just like mine! What is the benefit of the SAS delete?

[@SATSMotors]

Thanks! If it works then there is no benefit for the removal. I just want the extra room near the exhaust manifold.

[@fredio54]

For a big single turbo... ;-)

[@fredio54]

I don't care how much you hate your own accent/voice or face, please try to speak a bit in the defacto language and show yourself - it makes the videos that much more personal and engaging. My 2c. Off to find out what the point of the SAS is. My latest 2.5 960 has it and I was wondering what it was.

[@SATSMotors]

I do know that the speaking will make the videos a lot better, but for me it takes twice or even more time to do any of the work then. And I don't have that time yet. But I do want to push myself to be able to talk in my videos.

[@fredio54]

@@SATSMotors consider putting together a simple voice over setup in your edit, for a start - I totally understand the time soak that filming and editing videos is - trust me. Just anything, eg a bit of "I"m doing this here" and "now that that's done we can do this other thing" or whatever - plus an intro with face and maybe an outro with face? That'd be my suggestion - no pressure, just trying to be helpful :-)

[@SATSMotors]

Thanks mate! Will try
