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

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

Hi, I recently bought myself a 940 B230FB as a non runner, pulled the head for restauration, after putting it on white smoke and water droplets still came out the exhaust, so I put a CO2 tester on the cooling system, which showed no signs of exhaust fumes in the cooling system. Compression ratio was about 10bar/145psi on all cylinders. Since its my first Euro 2 car/first Redblock Im not familiar with how much smoke is normal (engine fully warmed up) and how much shows failiure. Thanks in... 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

My name is Javier and I’m from Spain; last year, I bought a 1992 Volvo 940 B230FT automatic. I plan to convert it to an M47 manual transmission. So far, I’ve just been removing the old automatic system and sourcing all the right parts for the M47 swap.

Hello all I have a 1996 Volvo 940 with a b230fk and a m90, the only options it has from factory are sunroof and the turbo I guess, I've been told before that if I just bought a set of leccie mirrors and the control panel (as well as the plain mirror covers) that it would just plug in to the factory harness? I can see this being true but just wanted to see if anyone had done/could confirm this? Thank you <3 (fyi its a uk market car)

I'm in the middle of a heater core replacement on a '95 940. The yellow line is currently plugged and I fished some broken stuff out of the vents. I haven't split the box yet, will do that today. Questions: What is the green book number for this HVAC stuff? Is is at Oz? What is currently available to replace the 2 way floor / defrost actuator? I've got Volvo # 9463042 (3522945) & Delco # 15-71438 and can't find anything to buy. What's this busted thing for and am I missing pieces. Center... Read more

Hi, i just recently bought myself a Volvo 940 B230FB with just over 400.000km on it as a non-runner. I threw a new timing belt on it and it ran just fine. A day later it wouldnt start so I checked under the valve cover because the crankshaft took lots of force to turn, so I took the head of for inspection of the crankshaft and valves. The problem of the crankshaft not really turning was soon identified as valves not returning to their seat when closing and not wanting to open with easy... Read more

My Dad and I got on the idea of building a pickup conversion out of a 7/9 as a fun winter project and for me something to haul my dirt bike around in. After some staring at pictures we decided a wagon was the best starting point and I picked up a 1994 945 turbo with 250k on it. It's in typical shape for a cheap 940, needs a little love but a good car to start with. We're not expert metal workers so figured this will be a good project to get a little more practice from. Will be doing lead (or... Read more

Hello! I had to replace my 1994 Volvo 940’s (normally aspirated with Rex Regina) fuel pump over the summer. It was found with very low pressure, about 15psi. The relay and fuse are good and the filter is new. It failed again recently. I checked the pressure and saw it down to 7psi before it failed. Does anyone know of another pump that could work in the single in tank pump Rex Regina set up? I’ve heard of people using the Walbro GSS342. Has anyone had luck with this or know what... Read more

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with the rear door of my Volvo 940 after replacing the exterior door handle, and I'd appreciate some advice before I start taking things apart again. Yesterday, I replaced the exterior handle, and everything seemed to work perfectly. I tested opening and closing the door several times from both inside and outside, with no issues. However, as soon as I locked the car and tried to unlock it again, the door became completely stuck. Here's what I've noticed... Read more

Hi there guys I have a 1993 volvo 244 N/A +t its an LH 2.4 car and it’s got a td04 13c, 940 intercooler and rad, orange top injectors with a 0 280 000 954 ecu and a 0 227 400 207ezk. The computers were from an unknown turbo egr car so they throw codes but I don’t believe that would cause any running issues, correct me if i’m wrong. The car has had all the afr lean/rich codes since being turboed but for the most part has run well once the computers adapt. I have a wideband gauge but I believe... Read more

Good afternoon, I recently bought a set of aftermarket e codes from Swedish car parts to install on my car. Instalation was identical to regular e codes, and everything seemed to fit together well/wire up correctly. I did also use a set of the RSR connectors from penta, since they were not provided in the kit. Anyways, after the install and confirmation of function, the aim was off, which is to be expected at first. But when I went to aim them upward, they appear to not aim very far... Read more

Hello everyone. What comes to 940's interior lights, I think topic of re-soldering leds or bare bulbs on Volvo's customs interior bulbs is well covered. I have developed some good combinations from cold and warm white leds that keep the original look. When fixing bulbs for my '97 940, I noticed that integrated bulbs inside rheostat (dimmer) and in headlight range (height) switches were also burned out. Unlike other bulbs, these are not meant to be changed but there is quide how to change... Read more

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...

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.
