Anjo's 340Turbo: EFI conversion

[Nimminz]

really interesting too see all the welding, i'm doing a MIG course at college

Keep it up!

[volvodspec]

aye, MIG is definatly the technique to start with. i've done some MIG in the past and at work and at home we don't have a MIG machine. my dad calls it "schijt-lassen", best english description besides "shit-welding" is that he means that you purely weld on top of the material, whereas with TIG you initially get the chance to melt 2 surfaces of the weld together.

it's definatly a difficult welding technique and since i've only been randomly busy with the TIG machine (mainly for this car) and see what i can do with quite limited amount of experience; i think i'm quite quick learning i've set my mind into aluminium-welding with TIG (wich is again a different technique) after this summer, for multipoint-injection manifolds and stuff like that

hahahaha wtf, how the hell did you find that so quickly

I'm not stalking you. Honest.

I just found all the youtube channels for V3Mers (and a few 300 power ones I think) and subscribed. I figured anything 300 related would be interesting in my sub box.

and, a fresh MOT! with compliments of the garage, no advices or anything.

here's a pic starring Tom's 360 daily


so now i can finally concentrate on getting the car going Turbo again

Toms daily wins at staring.

Itknows if it flinches or tries to run, your car will catch it, f@ck it and eat it.

Good news on the pass dude. Always good to hear a No Advisorries.

Anjo's phone-foto flattery fades out the rusty bits on my car quite well Well done on the MOT!

Cheers

CNC-milled the flange today after work, even got time to get M8 thread in it


i WAS planning to build, fabricate and weld the rest of the manifold this weekend; not so sure about that atm because it's going to freeze and i've got to stand outside i'm not a pussy but frozen hands make accurate measurements etc impossible, i'm more worried about the quality of the work than me freezing my ass off

mobile-outdoor-workspace:


with the turbo engine dropped in..


new studs


and here comes the manifold work..


and afer 2sec i hit the first snag


the middle 2 pipes didn't fit and got stuck into the intake manifold...
so out comes the grinder, and there you go:


hope the rest goes a little smoother

picking up a load of special items tomorrow morning, back to this in the afternoon.

Love the engine compartment Want one for my appartment, I guess girlfriend dissagree

Keep up the work, want to see the über B14 running again.

bodykit for the 340


and R-Sport steering wheel for the 343

first runner is tacked





should've done all this a year ago, working this way is lovely !!!



build a load of ideas for the rest of the tubular, that will come out great. only thing i'm not sure about is the wastegate, need to make a new bracket for it unfortunatly

[volvodspec]

well, went at it yesterday evening but couldn't even get the second runner on, it just didn't fit the way i wanted and i couldn't get it ok..
so a fresh idea this afternoon after work was transferred onto the manifold, now there were 2 runners!


and after that i couldn't stop , 3rd on:


houston we have a stainless tubular manifold , well atleast it's all tacked together
bolted it onto the turbo engine to check clearences:







very happy with it, runner equal lengts and individual runner resistance is spot on!

[volvodspec]

bolted the manifold to a 15mm thick steel plate, then drilled holes to fit a backing-gas system


after that i started on some of the final welds this evening, there's even a slight chance i get the whole thing welded tomorrow evening

[volvodspec]

after a lot of this:


and this:


it's all welded







not bad for an amature if i may say so




think i might get it running again in time for the next Elandrun

Keep the photos and updates coming... If I could work at even a 1/10th of your rate, I'd get a door mirror done in about 6 weeks.
