[wiganer31]

need help, been fukin about with the oil return pipe for days, set it all up today so noting was catching, but then suddenly it was catching on the bolt on the engine mount

has anyone got any pics of there engine mounts who have done this conversion? after they have modified the mount or oil return? been a shit day of fuc,ing about with the car today, best bit was a little accident i had with some engine cleaner and a blow tourch

[wiganer31]

anyone? im really stuck for ideas now

[wiganer31]

redid the oil return and it seemed ok, engine was on the jack though because i had to take the mount off

[wiganer31]

had enough of messing about with that dam oil return and gt to that point (again)were i couldnt be arsed so left it foe a while, got it lowered all round today, no pics as the lumps still on stands, gonna fill the shocks with thicker oil when someone lets me know what to use? gonna tackle the oil return again this weekend hopefully

[wiganer31]

anyone got a 360 rad forsale? mine has decided it wants to piss out

[wiganer31]

well slide motorsport made me a oil pipe and i took the volvo on its first drift day at the weekend



seems to be holding up, if you think i look abit nervous btw its because i was, that suspension really scared the shit out of me all weekend, managed to do a few sikds though, car kept getting hot due to big lines onto the track but was more than happy with it engine wise, think im going to send my shocks off to gaz and get them made into coilovers and get some adjustble shocks on the back, aome poly bushes and some diy braceing and it should be more than enough for what i want

[Nimminz]

Nice to see that you're getting some fun out of it now!

Should be quite a bit more solid with all that you have planned

[Speedy88]

Good stuff! I rate the adjustables on the rear very highly for drifting, they're a really nice setup which can be adjusted for weather and tyres.

[wiganer31]

cheers guys, like i say suspension was horrible and scary but was just nice to get out and drive it, cant wait to get the suspension sorted

[wiganer31]

i need to put a update up here, done a few bits recently, even done a bodge suspension setup to get it threw the next drift day, its not ideal but its abit stiffer than what it was so it will keep me going till i get a proper setup,

are there any volvo wireing experts on here? still something draining my battery and wireing in need of a big tidy up, i dont want to touch it though now ive got it running because i dont know enough and its just problem after problem with the wireing and i recently discovered something about building this volvo, and its that driveing it is alot more enjoyable than fucking about with it,


going for some skids at the weekend so that should be a laugh


cheers

[Speedy88]

Sweet.

As for the drain. Quick check is at idle - put a multimeter accross the battery. What does it read? Also, do the same for the alternator - what does that read?

[Nimminz]

I'm no expert but i did make a simplified diagram of all the wiring for the turbo engines, in this thread:
