Volvo 740 Turbo Project
Once I've made some progress with the build I'll have videos on my YouTube channel which I'll send links along the way
Block looks nice done in silver! :)
Got the new turbo Holset H1C, it's a decent size turbo 54 inducer and 0.89 rear housing so we Will see how it goes
I also scored myself a practically a new EMS 8860 aftermarket ecu, with this I should be able to Control everything i need too
Finally got the blown engine out
Found what was missing sitting in the sump ahha
How many km on that oil?
The engine had a complete overhaul about 1000kms before it blew fresh oil and filters plus new timing belts and pulleys etc etc so wasn't that old
If anyone is interested here is my YouTube channel where I will be doing monthly episodes of my 740 build,
There is already two episodes up from when I got the wagon to Sydney and where ive gotten the engine out.

Have been quiet these last couple months but making slow progress with the engine, all the gaskets are nearly done, most of the pulleys etc are installed, engine has been cleaned and painted in most areas, fresh distributer, fresh leads and spark plugs, new nuts and bolts throughout the whole engine,
Still have a lot to do but any progress is better then no progress, hopefully next few weeks with have the exhaust manifold made so i can fit the holset and the wastegate then the new inlet manifold should be made from my work an i can install that aswell.
Nice artistic pics! Great lighting or something!
For anyone that is interested heres another video,
its a slow progress but itll get there eventually and in this video i give a run down on some things that are happening.
starting to clean the engine bay sorted, ive separated the wiring harness and eliminated some wiring and hoses that is not needed an have painted the front section behind where the headlights go,
now going to weld up all the wholes and possibly try get the wheel tubs a bit rounder and smoother, then to hopefully have engine bay completely painted in black.
This will give you an idea on what colour combination i will be going for the rest of the wagon ( stock inlet manifold is not staying ) have a new inlet manifold coming.
