    The Boost Goose (T6 swapped 760)

    By 244tiCanuck

    Hello all, This will be place to document my Volvo 760 T6 build. I'm a diehard Volvo guy, run a Volvo repair shop in my town, have had about 45 Volvos. Have built a few cool cars for customers of mine, but never really done a nice build on a Volvo for myself. Fell into an Audi URS4 for a few years, got it to go real fast, and blew it up. The car; 1989 Volvo 760 Turbo that spent most of its life in the Okanagan valley BC, so incredibly clean. Not a single speck of rust that I can find. It's... Read more

    Sluggish Acceleration

    By Ohzkhar1

    Hello everyone! I'm having an issue with my 89 740 brick! It's very sluggish at accelerating... Again... Before this started happening I had some work done on the car. I had a new water pump installed, 2nd time this year after the 1st one started leaking, I also tried having a new (refurbished) starter installed from Bosch but it didn't work so I had the old start put back on, had new motor mounts installed but the engine shakes probably even more now, a new coolant reservoir...

    1990 5-speed manual 240 wagon

    By mistermerp

    I have had this 5-speed manual 1990 240 DL for 5 years. It is in good condition and drives well, but is no longer practical for my lifestyle. It has ~235k miles. Here is the work I’ve had done in the last 5 years: - Transmission replaced at 210k (from salvage vehicle with 130k miles) - New clutch at 210k - Catalytic converter replaced at 220k (passes CO/CA emissions) - New fuel pumps at 220k - Replaced mass air flow sensor at 234k - Oil changes every 3k miles - Maintenance done by Volvo...

    Injector signal grounded on LH2.4

    By Continental drift

    I ran into a serious issue with my 940, the injector signal is permanently grounded and the injectors stay permanently open. There is a very distinct solenoid click when the resistor pack plug is connected. A multimeter test shows 300 ohm path to ground while the engine is not running and harness disconnected, so it's not a MOSFET burnout, It shouldn't have caused an overload. Are there known cases with injector harness pinching or chafing to cause a short?

    Throttle Position Sensor Bench Test

    By B307

    (REGINA) This seems not ideal, Spec is 0-1 ohm at idle position. This one’s good going from all the way closed throttle to clicking off idle position, but coming back down to idle position, from off idle position, its resting at 2.2 ohm until you really put some tension on the shaft. Seems to me like a weak or sooted contact. What do you think? Test it on the car? Hope throttle spring tension is enough? Is there a 3d model for a replacement housing for the regina TPS yet? Or am I going to... Read more

    Volvo T5 Engine Clutch Bell Housing Pattern.

    By big740

    Hello all, Not exactly a turbobrick, but a friend of mine is putting a T5 engine from an 850 into a C30, and wants to put a sequential shifter gearbox behind it. For this it needs a new Clutch Bell Housing made. And to make it easier for myself (and to make sure I design it accurate enough!), I was wondering if anyone had the bolt pattern/measurements or anything from the housing on a 850 T5 Engine they would be willing. Cheers,

    Amazon Wagon #2, Electric Bluegaloo

    By propav8r

    Well, with the sale of my '63 rustbucket wagon, I was not really sure when/if I'd find another Amazon project. I really liked the car, but it was just too much of a project to chew with the time I have available at the moment. I sold that off to a buddy with most all of my spares. He picked that up about 3 weeks ago, and I replaced it with a '70 C10. Or so I thought. About a week and a half ago, @stick70 forwarded me a Marketplace listing for a blue '66 wagon in central...

    Kjet fuel return volume

    By 302ftw?

    Hi all, checking my work here. Is this the correct orientation for the return hose? The other banjo is coming from the pressure valve on the side of the fuel distributor. I ask because in 30 sec I only got about 500ml or less than half expected volume according to K-jet.biz . if this is correct I am honestly surprised the car even ran.

    140 Wiper Blades

    By 142 guy

    Does anybody have a line on windshield wiper blades that work on the 140? You know, actually wipe the water off the glass as opposed to just chattering and skipping across the glass. My wiper arms seem to have plenty of spring tension so I don't think that is the problem. I tried the ANCO classic stainless wiper blades. Looked the treat; but, didn't work worth a dam. I currently have an ANCO or TRICO or some other brand of black frame style wiper blade. I have tried a couple different... Read more

    AW70 to M47 driveshaft issues - 240 edition

    By Alan29

    So I'm in the final stages of the AW70 to M47 swap on my 1993 240 and I'm running into an issue getting the two piece shaft back together. I am using the 1993 AW70 rear with the M47 front that came with my M47 parts. Both of the AW70 halves separated like they should without any fuss. Joining the M47 front to the AW70 rear is giving me extreme grief. I located the alignment arrows. I have verified there is no weird obvious spline differences. Both halves are meshed together but it... Read more

    Anybody running Subaru WRX seats in a 240?

    By HiSPL

    I've seen several old threads about people using them, but they ended up being taller than the stock seat. I want an unobtrusive, OEM style seat that sits lower and has a little more support. Like Recaro's out of old Golf GTI's or similar. WRX seats seem to be cheap online and people praise the 02-03 WRX seats as extra comfy. Anybody running Suby seats and have them mounted low and back for a tall guy?

    600-ish hp b230 16valve?

    By V1.ex3

    So this is probably asked a lot, but i guess here is another one... Okay for those still here i am planning on making a track/street Volvo 240 with an amazing engine build and to keep the spirit of the car i want to use a b230 with a 16 valve mod. I hope to be able to reach like 600 + or - hp. Also id prefer to be as least reliant on the turbo and instead try to push some good rpm out of this car. I also would prefer for the power to not only be at the top so its nice and good at the track... Read more

    1992 745 GL - electrical gremlins

    By DennisCA

    Here's an interesting electrical conundrum.... The battery charging warning light came on this morning on my new to me '92 Volvo 745. I tried driving off to see if it would go away, I noticed the light came on and off in sync with the washer fluid warning light (I was low). So I solved the issue for now by refilling the washer fluid container! Hardly a permanent fix though... This hasn't been an issue until today as I've been low on washer fluid for a few days. But it was the... Read more

    Given a 1990 lh2.4 240 after a long break...no signal to the injectors

    By jjona5

    I'll go into how I got the car after the issue. So it sat 7 years So im told but the sticker was 10 years out. Tank was rusty...really rust so I replaced the tank, in tank pump assembly, and high pressure pump under. I had the injectors cleaned and flowed. Then I flushed the lines with new fuel. Noticed the alternator was sideways and replaced the bushings. Tested the car and it acted like it was going to start then I smelled gas. Took off the vacuum line to the pump and it was free flowing... Read more

    1992 240 tire recommendations

    By Mondrian240

    I'm missing nice Michelin tires for my 240. I have a choice of the standard rims or the aluminum Draco rims. I like the handling of Michelin. Drive primarily around the foothills of Placerville and the freeway for road trips. Not many choices, would appreciate any advice and where to buy. Thanks

    Automatic transmission torque converter lock-in

    By Alex_Polvorilla

    Hi, everybody I have an automatic 3.0 24V '95 960 (facelift), strictly stock, VIN YV1965956S102xxxx, which torque converter I'd like to lock not only in gears 3 and 4 but also in 2nd (even 1st?). I dislike the way the throttle pedal feels connected to revs but not to car acceleration. It ruins a bit an otherwise fabulous ride experience. Google's IA claims my transmission is an AW30-40 and that these are commanded exactly like Toyota's A340E ones. It is suggesting different options... Read more

    More important camshaft information from me to you

    By shoestring

    This is really important and seems to have popped up a couple times lately. If you get yourself an aftermarket cam (which I recommend for best result), you MUST degree it in. I don't know why the aftermarket cam blanks are made this way, and though there's probably a reason for it, it doesn't matter. Some of them have been ok to this point, but there's no guarantee that going forward they will be. An overly retarded camshaft has a bunch of symptoms: unexplained detonation, weird power...

    By: Angel Morales Description: This article ilustrates the procedure to replace the internal Bosch regulator with an external Motorcraft electronic regulator or equivalent.

    Regina Fuel pump alternative?

    By HiSPL

    Since the Regina system uses a standard high pressure fuel pump, is there a cross reference that I can look for locally? For instance, can I go to Napa and say I need a fuel pump for a 92 Chevy Caprice and get basically the same pump? I have a dead Regina car that I need mobile in the next few days and the pump is dead.
