Just what the world needs, another V8 swapped Volvo!
By bogmire
Greetings TurboBrickians, After years of watching from a distance, I finally made the plunge into the Volvo world. Back in August I purchased a 1995 940 NA Sedan with 240,000 miles on the clock. It had a slight stumble on acceleration, which was fixed with a new CPS. Other than that, the car is great. Comfortable, efficient, unsuspecting, big upgrade from my previous hot rod, a turbo LM7 swapped 87 S10. But there's one issue, It's sloooooowww (And the A/C doesn't function) So I'm doing...

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
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...

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,
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
Correct new CV joint for 960 propshaft?
By petiww
As title says. I want to test a rear section of a 960 CV propshaft on my liveaxle 940. Sadly the CV on the one i acquired has a big crack on the ball cage, and lots of play. I see that on skandix it is NLA: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-par...parts/joint-propeller-shaft-rear-kit/1028111/ And for our luck, this volvo part number is not really useful anywhere. I found this: https://www.driveshaftparts.com/CVJ052 It has the correct... Read more
Oil pressure
By _blockr4
Good evening everyone, after breaking my turbo, I installed an oil pressure mano to see if I had a lack of pressure. Cold and slow motion, I have between 2.5 and 3 bars. On the other hand, at hot, the pressure is about 1b and it does not climb above 2 bar when I accelerate. Any idea of the problem? HS oil pump? Bad oil? This is a Volvo 745 of 85 (B200ET), the oil currently in it is of the 10W40.
