Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

I forgot to mention engine is now run in. Only teathing problem is the engine breathers, getting oil splash off the cams so i have rerouted them and fitted a restrictor to help stop the oil running through them, but still allowing vapour through. Catch tank has significantly slowed down filling up w...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

*copied* Right she is running. Very happy so far. Recap, custom made fuel rail finally turned up. Used hardline adapters to convert original feed and return lines from the fuel tank to run AN lines to the fuel swirl pot. The original pump is now serving as a lift pump to the swirl pot, and the old r...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Right some more fittings turned up for the breather system and the last fuel system parts. I had to make a new pipe from the fan shroud to the ECU box so used vent pipe with heatshrink joiners. I dropped the centre exhaust section off so i can drop the tank to run fuel lines too and fitted the FPR o...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

I am currently waiting on the fuel rail to get the car running so am just doing bits and pieces. This is how the car stands at the moment. I will be making a complete 3inch exhaust for it this week.

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

One of the things i knew was going to be the biggest headache was the downpipe which i have made. I bought a few bends and cut up a 3inch stainless system from an impreza i had in work to make a downpipe. I used 7 parts in the end to get teh fitment really good. It clears everything with ample clear...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Next day saw engine torn right down and rods fitted. I have also used an S60R MLS head gasket machined at the rear cylinder to alloy coolant flow to the earlier head. My girlfriend also decided to cook me a BBQ whilst working on the engine. Cant fault her. Adam http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/a...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Day 3 got the engine pretty much stripped, the rocker cover drilled for extra AN10 breathers. I also dropped that and the intercooler to my welder to get tigged. I got the welding back same day and got the cover painted so it would dry in time. I have crinkle blacked. Adam http://i2.photobucket.com/...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Day 2 of the week off started nice and early with lifting the engine out. I then cleaned and painted the new front subframe and started getting the new alloy intercooler to fit. I am relocating it to the front to increase airflow. Adam http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/a_pod666/My%20Cars/Volvo%20...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Right i forgot to mention i am also fitting a C70 convertible front subframe as they share all mountings with the AWD and have solid alloy bushes. I will also be modifying the centre brace to fit too. A couple of random pics of the car parked outside work and pictures up to the end of day one. Adam ...

Re: Meet the new non 300 Daily. Updates 17/09/12

Ok so i had a week of work week before last so i thought i better update the build thread with updates, i then realised the new wheels weren't on here so i updated that too. I much prefer the Tritons over the jag wheels they give it more of an 80s touring car feel. Anyway time spent on my week off f...
