GUE555
This has now gone to its new owner to make way for another project ;)

That sucks. What did you replace it with? A real turbo volvo like a 740 or 940? :P
GUE555
Hahahaha. No way.
Bought another forester gt as a daily and got a nice little 142 ;)

And thank you, I'm a happy man ;) Now who wants to buy a 740t hp?

A shiny red manual one?
volvodriverman
The very same
Vee_Que
Any pics of the intercooler as it is fitted in that @volvodriverman?
volvodriverman
Only a half fitted one, it turns out it's as easy a drop in to a 240 turbo ;)
Vee_Que
Heh. I found if you slice the edges off the bottom rubber mounts it goes in easily.

I kinda miss my 245. Almost consider using my 745t as a donor. Hmmmm flat hood and rounds. Yummy!
But then I would still be a step away from the 142 or 122
volvodriverman
Find a 242gt & never look back!

Had a 79gt 10+ years back. Considered it.
I also had a white 142s with a reco engine, 6 or so years back. Pretty clean. But at the time I was moving house, so a fella and his son from tazzie purchased it. Never saw it since. Wouldn't mind tracking it.

There's a reasonable chance I can sniff it out, especially if you have a name & suburb it went to ;)
GUE555
yeah i may be able to find it too

Well we just got home to Tassie after a bit over 4500km driving, made Queensland & back faultlessly until just into Melbourne when it started running like dick, sensor maybe , idlle & wot are fine but anything in between is a spluttery backfiring mess! Averaged 10l/100km with the air on whole trip. Queensland showed up that she needs a bigger e fan. Good result I reckon.
GUE555
FANTASTIC !!!!! nice fuel figures....maybe i should buy it back ;)
volvodriverman
No way! Never leaving my care now.
egads (she/her)
That would have sucked getting on the boat! Afm has no or little input at idle and wot in fuel calc right? Good place to start.
volvodriverman
Yeah that's my thinking, wiring to it is a little dubious too.
volvodriverman
Maf sensor fixed it. Yay!
