cheers guys

manifold was all done




so i reorganized the shop a little and took the engine bay out of our garden, that last bit made my mom very happy
after that the B14.4T went on a stand and into the workshop


oildrain, drilled at an angle

welded, had to correct it with feed at one place because the hole was a bit oval, shame because it was a beautifull weld


so here's why it needed an angle you can also see that because of the oval hole i decided to weld the other end of the flange too.


first bends to align the pipe


and the last piece welded on wich lines up the 2 pipes perfectly. this last bit also has a ring on it to clamp the hose in place.


wastegate bracket also done





next are a few braces for the manifold and it's time to order a few parts for the oil feed and downpipe

Damn that looks great!

Good fabbing skills as ever dude.

[Nimminz]

Keep it up!

yesterday´s work

























plan is to finish this entire sub-assembly today, have to attach the throttle cable support and weld hose humps to each pipe to prevent the hoses from blowing off the pipes and after that clean the entire thing, grind the excess bits etc. think it will look good when it's all done

I love those stainless water pipes - so much better than the stock rubber hoses that always leak and are impossible to get hold of!

[volvodspec]

alingned the 2 V-band flanges, had to skim a bit off the converter that bolts to the turbo on the lathe


welded the first bend to the V-band flange


studs for the turbo were too long, so i shortened them and added thread on the right side to make them perfect suiting



finished the wastegate actuator bracket


flanged the stainless coolant pipes, also redid the long one from turbo to waterpump on the post above as i was afraid this one would fail over time; this now consists of 2 pipes.


welded a pair of manifold support braces





pre-assembled the whole lot




out with the old engine; the overhead crane (2x 6,5T) was a bit overkill though


and here comes the 6-cyl Mercedes Benz turbodiesel and ZF 9-gear powershift transmission conversion...


in fact, with just the gearbox the engine bay was full


in with the B14.4T







and nog i'm waiting for parts, my hands are itching to get this thing going again

[mat_91]

i bet dude work looks good i rely am thinking of doing a welding course next year

[sven360]

You is good.

[Speedy88]

Sweeeeeeeeeet

[volvodspec]

tiny update, it's slowly coming together.. wish i wasn't stuck with the flu this week. would've been a lot further by now











and again, stuck waiting for parts depending on the weather i'm going to start on the downpipe.

[volvodspec]

made radiator support bracket as with the 2 bottom mounts alone the flex in the frontbeam's steel was a bit too much





stainless steel offcourse now it's solid as a rock i can even stand on it

stainless bolts for the alternator were still missing, so i made a new set


so no more of this:



all together:


will need to get another cooling fan powdercoated, since this one was damaged when one of the bolts ran loose..


and started on the fuelling, uprated fuelpump and a kingsize fuel filter. old vs new:


i won't make mounts for it till i know where they'll end up under the car though
