volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
i am thinkin about putting a renault 19 turbo diesal engine in my 340 can any give me any info as wot to do
Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
i believe some one has put a 440/460 td in a 340. which i seem to belive is the same as the r19 td. i think its possible but with hte increase in torque you'll ahve to be carefuk with the prop and gbox. some one has got a nissan td in a 360, tho in project stage atm.

Hello
I've thought about this project too as the 1.9 turbo is quite a fun engine, esp in 2nd and above.
The engine mounts for the 440 TD are quite different from the petrol variants, so much so the diesel 400s have a different bodyshell to the petrol models. The engine hangs on one mount over the cambelt area. I believe the second mount is by the gearbox. There's a reaction rod on the gearbox too.
Been a while since I last worked on a 440 TD but I have a friend with one so at some point I'll check where the second mount is.

Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
yeah but if the 1.9 block is off the F-family; the mounting holes for the 300-1.7 engine mounts are present in the engine block. so first step is to check up the engine code of that 1.9 and see what engine family it actually is.
i believe there are 3 or 4 related topics about the 1.9td in a short period atm, this is starting to get kinda confusing

Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
Mounts are all there i guarantee, the only thing i can see causing a problem would be the position of the diesel pump. I have wanted to do this swap for a while.
I had an enginehere for the bottom end and the block is compatible. I even tried a 1.7 sump on it....

Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
interesting... as it would make quite a fun 340. But....if the block has the possibility to be mounted the same way as the B18 petrol family, how come the 400 TDs have the engine held via a mount over the cambelt area to the upper drivers side inner wing I wonder?

Quite likely the shakey ness at a resonant frequency. Could have been horrible in the cab of the 400 if there was a resonance just around eyeball shaking frequency!

Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
Hmm seems a lot of work to have completely changed the mounts (hence bodyshell) but its very interesting re what Adam says that the D19 having the ability to use the B18/B172 mounts.
A D19 340 would be great!

It was what I had planned for Kar, do you not remember me spending a long time hunting round your 440 at a meet once

Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
I had this in mind when I liked diesel for its cheapness. But i was converted to the force, mostly by chris and adam's conversion topics
Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
got the td engine sat in ma 340 should be going soon
Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
Super!
Dya have any pics?
I was tempted to make a diesel 480 but was put off by the fact the 440 petrols and diesels have such different mounts. If I'd have known what Adam has confirmed re engine mounts....
Dya have any pics of the project so far?
What you using for a clutch as the JC5 g/box in the 440 has a different number of spines that the B172 340.

Diesel 480....Don't give me ideas!
Re: volvo 340 1.9 turbo diesel
Why is it I find the idea of a turbo 340 and a diesel slow 480 most amusing
