Re: Brake Upgrades
It's unfortunate that I just have met with this thread, because it would save some time form me. :( I'm working on a similar solution, but I use MINI (BMW) brake calipers. Now I'm on the same level of the workflow as well. I just printed out the prototype of the adapter. The MINI discs are almost pe...

Re: Volvo 360 uprated clutch?
Hi there, Do any of you use Dai' 2pc Turbo clutch kit? The description says that it has increased pressure over a standard turbo clutch. Link below: https://www.classicswede.co.uk/2pc_clutch_kit_360_Turbo/p1733344_14762230.aspx I would like to know if it's too strong for daily/road use. Thank you fo...

Re: speciale 25 glt+T
Hi there, While I'm waiting for the body work to be started, I'm trying to figured out how to upgrade the brakes to match with the (hopefully) higher performance. I'm planning to use some sort of ventillated discs in front. So I was looking for discs of the same size more or less as the stock one, a...

Awsome, what an interior!
How much did you get involved in the project? Is it a b200ft block, or it has the stock?

Re: speciale 25 glt+T
I ran my 360 10:1 CR at 11psi on LH2.4 and matching EZK. It had no problems at all. The retarding of ignition timing by the knock sensor due to pre ignition, would have no effect on said pre ignition. I used an A cam which may have had a difference in stopping pre ignition. 95 octane fuel would cau...

Re: speciale 25 glt+T
Now the question is, how much the CR is originally with this set up. Based on the model year it has to be 10:1, but I agree with You, that the double gasket suppose to lower the CR. In this case the CR is 9,2:1. This is the only CR that I know about, besides the 10:1. Please let me know, if You know...

Re: speciale 25 glt+T
The domed pistons I believe were fitted to the higher compression ratio cars, prior to 1987-ish? Perhaps the bottom end has been changed and the second head gasket added to lower the compression ratio? I don't think it's at all likely that that dual head gaskets were fitted from the factory. I've t...

Re: speciale 25 glt+T
Hi There,
Now the engine is out of the car, and I've a few questions.
First of all, Is it possible that the factory used double head-gasket originally?, Shouldn't the piston be plane in a B200E?
Thank's!
