Thats a cool project. Wish I was that competent with a spanner / knowledge. Agree looks great in red (Ive only ever seen gold ones!
Volvo 740 Turbo Project
Darc i did notice a piston slap sound about 2 days before it blew but didn't think much of it my bad i know new motor should go alright if i can find the right parts i need I'm trying to find some bigger injectors if anyone knows any places in nsw and thanks guys red does stand out i was just lucky enough to find this one with immaculate paint work seeing how old the car is saw a few silver ones before i got this but no where near as good
Calvin is selling a set currently. But nissan injectors suit as well. You don't need bigger with a stock turbo. Especially with an aftermarket computer.
won't be stock turbo much longer decided to change my plans a bit and try get a bit more performance out of the good old b230ft
Going for a custom manifold as well? T3/4 turbo?
- Edited
yes my mates making one very soon to fit a high mount garrett 2871 or garrett t04e haven't decided as of yet
I have a 90+ manifold I can sell ported already.
possibly how much you want for it
some new parts arrived21 days later

been awhile since I've posted anything so far I've gotten all my parts except a oil temp sensor and an o2 sensor which will hopefully be here in a week or so its booked in for a tune and dyno in august just with the standard ecu with a piggy back i highly doubt it will make the power I'm aiming for till i go bigger turbo etc etc but hopefully will make at least 150kw
a year later
hows this project coming along? Old thread, i know, just curious.
I made 160.8rwkw on a td05-14b 15psi solid.
13mm rod rear thrust bottom, 531 Ipd T cam + timing gear advanced 5deg.
Factory intrcooler and manual.
150rwkw, It's achievable. Most were thinking 110-120kw before my run.
I'm well past that now, and still pushing lh2.2 well past it's limits. Based on what "locker room chat" says.

Who are you using for engineering on.the bags?
Havent got that far as of yet but off memery theres a guy in newcastle that can do it as he has done a few of my mates cars
Ah Dam your all the way up there.
Are you required to have an.e-leveler for engineering like we do down here in Vic?

Yes it has to have self leveling to.be an enginnered up this way which I have an avs self leveling setup for it and that doesnt work I also have a dakota digital haha
As a matter of interest, how do the bagged cars handle? Never thought about it really, I like if it could do the look and ride as well as decent handling.
Kool project!

It, just like coil suspension, really depends on the intended use for the car.Ex850R;93710 wroteAs a matter of interest, how do the bagged cars handle? Never thought about it really, I like if it could do the look and ride as well as decent handling.

You can purchase low height, high pressure bags. With the intended use for track and spirited street use.
That's something I'm looking at with my.wagon
