Re: Nimminz' GLT Turbo Daily

could well be that, the set of diagrams i'm looking at could be from a different market, 'check' and lambda seem interchangeable through out what i've been looking at. all the conditions which make it come on are emmissions related or air fuel ratio at least. undoubtedly worth having regardless. the...

Re: Nimminz' GLT Turbo Daily

Right. Found the problem to be the timing was a tooth out on the belt, have now sorted that. I did manage somehow to snap the locating pin at the end of the cam http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m557/nimmins/A%202014%20volvo%20stuff/Photo0101_zpsfe097b52.jpg Fixed that by cutting down a 5mm drill ...

Re: Hello. (New member) I brought pics!

I'm currently doing this, well most of it. I'm just turbo-ing the b200 in the car but pretty similar. I'll try help your list out but feel free to ask for any help or advice, I'm gonna make a guide to help people wanting to do the 940 engine swaps just not quite got round to it yet. A different inte...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Right, car now has a whole exhaust thanks mainly to John's fabbing skills. We took it for a test drive with all the gauges in to monitor what's going on. Was slow to rev, like very slow, even when making boost and on WOT. Idles low, if you give a bit of throttle from idle it drops. Doesn't idle real...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Cheers! Yeah I'll pop down when i'm free and have a car on the road, was walking back from college when i saw you this afternoon. I'll double check the measurements and text you, decided we won't go for a proper spacer as grinding the inside of the bellhousing ever so slightly will solve the problem...

Re: 343 resurrection

Personally I'd go with the B234 in the 343. then turbo later if you want more power. The 300 gearboxes don't look much different to the big volvo M4x ones, just turned on their side with a different front plate rather than a bellhousing and a diff stuck on the back. A 360 donor car would be really u...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Yeah, hopefully it should sort it's self out. John fabbed up a downpipe yesterday, was made mostly from the stock 940 one, cut the turbo mating flange off, welded to a 90 degree bend straight down, another straight to the back of the car then a 45 degree in behind the bellhousing and a final 45 to b...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

yep that's the problem Atchi I may well do, And yeah I've seen / heard a few people with the same problem. Would be good to find out an exact distance which would work well if you were to do a few of them. I reckon 3mm should be fine but will check with washers. Also need some more of those rings ma...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Well today I swapped the starter for the 940 one. It did exactly the same as the 360 one, could hear the thing click into place but not turn :/ we had a look into the bellhousing and found the clutch was wedged against it. We loosened off the bellhousing bolts a couple of mm to free the clutch and l...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Cheers! Ended up just swapping the A cam into the new head and the coolant sensors. Got that swapped yesterday along with the engine mount modified for turbo clearance and got the timing belt back on and chopped out the OEM wiring. Today we got the car up in the air, pulled the whole transmission of...

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part 2 - Turbo fitting

Have wondered about it, but came to the conclusion that you'd have to really know what you're doing and that my attempts with a file might not give a positive result. If it can be done DIY I'd definitely give it a go, suppose theres not much to go wrong on the exhaust side ... I could be wrong though
