    Different Throttle Body with Integrated Idle Air Control?

    By sstory0626

    Hi all, Wondering about TB options for use with standalone. I'm in the middle of a conversion from LH2.2 on a B230F in my 262c, going to a RusEFI unit and am refreshing the wiring harness. Got to thinking about the nasty mess of plumbing under the intake for the IAC and remembering the TB on LT1 GM motors. There's a nice integrated idle speed bypass motor on those and wondered if anyone has found something similar that would work with redblocks? Or is the stock Volvo AIC still the way to go...

    eabras - Volvo 740, friday is dynoday!

    By eabras

    eabras - volvo 740 with b21, holset and vems - 352whp, then kaboom Sorry, dropboxlinks are dead. New pictures in post #11 Been a member here for years, but just lurking around mostly. Thought it would be fun to show off my small project and see what you guys think. Any input is greatly appreciated! I know it says 740 in the title, but the story begins with a beat up 1996 940 estate. It had the original b230fk engine (much the same as a late model b230ft) with a m90 behind it... Read more

    Aw heck, another 240? - 1984 M46 Wagon

    By TouzinFish

    Busy season for people wanting to unload their Volvos to me, I guess. A couple weeks ago, I'd posted a thread when I got one of the routine "hey please buy my Volvo" messages. The guy felt defeated because he couldn't fix his car and offered it to me for $500. While I wanted the car, I showed him how to fix it instead and he's a happy camper... hoping it'll be good karma or whatever. Maybe fate was keeping my parking space clear for this: Friend reached out wanting to unload a 1984 Volvo... Read more

    Undiagnosed ADHD and the art of Volvo modification

    By Canuckistan240

    Long read: I realized recently that I have been using this forum as a tool without contributing to the vast knowledge it contains. What follows is a complete build recap of my 1990 Volvo 240 DL, this has been an almost ten year journey and I will try my best to include as much detail and as many pictures as I can remember/find. My Dad has always been a Volvo guy. His first car was a 1960s Volvo 122 in british racing green. My dads father and older brother bought identical cars new in the... Read more

    New here: 940 2.3 turbo vs. a manual V70R, how do you guys see them?

    By Alejandro_XC70

    Hey all, Alejandro here. Originally from Tenerife, living on Fehmarn up in northern Germany these days, and my daily is a 2012 XC70 D3, so yeah, Volvo guy. I've always had a soft spot for the 940 with the 2.3 redblock turbo. Simple, tough, and from everything I've read there's a lot of room to turn it up without it coming apart. Then a few weeks ago I fell down a YouTube hole, ended up watching a manual V70R, and that interior got me. The seats, the details, the whole feel of the cabin. I... Read more

    First Volvo - 1988 760 Turbo

    By robotmaxtron

    Backstory I've been on the hunt for something fun to drive and something to wrench on. Today, I picked up my first Volvo and will be my first project car. A 1988 760 GLE Turbo. Looks like the car was originally purchased in Arizona before making it's way to Colorado. 156k miles with the first owner, seems like I'm the second owner. Body is in good shape, as is the interior. Headliner is sagging but the service history looks like it's been maintained pretty well. Very pleased it came... Read more

    1991 Volvo 240 not working properly after fuse maintenance.

    By Cnet

    Hi everyone, Hope someone can help. I'm working on my 1991 Volvo 240 I pulled the fuses in the cabin fuse box for yearly maintenance (there are no fuses in the engine bay), and ever since it starts, then stalls after about 15 seconds. Holding the throttle keeps it alive a little longer, but it always dies. What I've tried: Cleaned the fuse box contacts and put the old fuses back Cleaned the IAC valve Unplugged the MAF: it ran without stalling Swapped in a used MAF: same... Read more
