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

Hello forum! Been putting a 1992 Volvo 740 Turbo back on the road. Had it working pretty good, got inspected, then while at local Aldi's...died. No start, then just cranking. Towed home and been going through the old girl. Here's what I got: getting fuel and air (new main pump and filter - smells like gas after cranking a bit) spark plug light on a plug between wire and plug doesnt light when cranked. The Tach does not move when cranking. Tested CPS at 178Ohms at the coil and .24V AC while... Read more

Hi, I'm from France and I have started to swap my 740 D24 wagon with a D5252T 2.5 tdi engine. I'm basically doing the same thing as this guy did : https://turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/white-940-2-5tdi-wagon.357583/ So nothing new, but it's my first swap and not so easy for me. For the moment I did a couple of things : find a doubtful engine, shortening the oil pan and pickup tube, engine mounts, etc... Today is the day the volvo enter the shop for the last time with suffering... Read more

Ok so first off most all of this info is a copy from this thread. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=156900 Edit, I found the post about it on TB https://forums.tbforums.com/showthread.php?t=261539 Thanks again to the OP But I figured I would put something up here since for the TB Crowd with a bit more pictures. This is a quick listing of the parts I used and where I got them that allowed me to upgrade from the stock 11"(280mm) Jumbo brakes on the late model... Read more

Hi! I'm from Norway For a bit of context: I have a Volvo 740 with a B230A engine and M47 gearbox. I'm going to use the same gearbox (because M90 diesel gearbox are hard to find) but I'm going to weld the clutch housing so that it fits the D5252T. I'm also converting the D5252T to fully mechanical with a dieselpump from a VW Transporter 2,4L Diesel (AAB engine) so that I don't have to struggle with the electrical wiring. I was just wondering if you could have used the stock flywheel from... Read more

Stupid. Owned Volvo 240s and now a 740 for 40 years. Car started running poorly with some hesitation and bucking. I checked fuel pressure + sometimes got 28 PSI sometimes 23 and I figured my fuel pump was on its way out. I had the shop replace the fuel pump + the fuel filter to no avail. I then replaced the fuel pressure regulator initially with a 2.5 bar unit and then subsequently with a three-bar unit also to no avail. Pinched the return hose and removed the vacuum hose still 28 PSI. With... Read more

I bought this car a month ago. I've got a Volvo 850 already but I have always wanted an RWD and the chance popped up to own a 740 wagon in an extremely cool color (in my opinion!) Herein follows a photo dump and walkthrough of the car. Most obvious issue Fortunately this rubber list can be bought new! Skandix sells it and even has instructions... Read more

I’ve been fighting a loud vibration noise on my 1990 Volvo 740 for close to a year now and finally found some decent mounts that dampen pretty much all of the vibration. I’ve tried all of the remaining brands of hydraulic motor mounts as well as solid motor mounts and they’ve all been really crappy. Autozone just got some decent ones on their website and they’re only $22 each. I installed them last weekend and they’re fantastic. Who knows how long they’ll last but at $22 a piece I’d be ok...

I have a new-to-me Volvo 740. It's a 1988 with a carburetor and an automatic transmission. This is the ID tag on my carburetor: The car was deregistered in 2013, but based on the odometer, was still used in some small capacity during at least part of that time prior to my purchase of it this month. The car is drivable and does great on the highway, but the carburetor needs work for around-town driving. I'm familiar with carburetors, but not the Pierburg 2B family, so I'm... Read more

I need help fixing my oil leak or where to find replacement parts on my 1990 Volvo 740 turbo wagon. So I think these are the lines that go to the oil cooler, and the leak is pretty bad. It’s about a drip every couple minutes. I just cleaned the pcv system. I think the drip might be coming from the connection between the two lines, but the line above the connection is wet and that is confusing me. If anybody has had this problem or has any information on how to fix it, any help is appreciated.

I have some slotted and drilled rotors on my 1990 245, I am thinking of (if possible) swap rotors to a 1987 volvo 745 turbo. Is there any restrictions? is this even possible???

Hi guys, My Volvo 740 sedan is constantly leaking gas, seemingly through the gas cap. I assume the fuel is getting pushed out while drifting, and the gas cap doesn’t seal properly. The gas cap also doesn’t "click" when tightened after refueling—it just spins infinitely. I know my Volvo 850’s cap "clicks" when it's tight enough, but I’m not sure if that's just an 850 feature. Does anyone maybe have a solution for this?

I had a small thread elsewhere on here, but Photobucket tanked it. Rather than try to fix that one, I'll start over here. I'm 12 years deep into a build that is taking a 1949 Willys Jeep and a 1987 Volvo 740 to end with a very street and dirt friendly rig. Almost every part of this has been hand built. The following will be a story through pictures, since I don't have... Read more
