Ok slow progress this evening, only got 1.5 hours on her :( planning a long session tomorrow and Friday.

Braced up
http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/575613_10151045298813156_551100708_n.jpg

big hole in boot :) (not big enough yet though) :lol: :)
http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/283740_10151045299033156_956178729_n.jpg

Took a look at the turbo for the 1st time, think om gonna buy an 18t and slap that on ;)
http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/295360_10151045299143156_2096841679_n.jpg

Next step to get the engine sort of lined up in there, place strut tops in,strengthen the chassis a bit more. Then drop here on the original springs and see if the saxo is even heavy enough to squash them down a bit.

The steering assembely will stay in place. im going to lock the rack in place, but not permanent.... i have a plan ;)
i am going to impliment the traction control into the build now, as i think im gonna need it. i plan on buying a couple of Volvo hubs welding the threads up, then ill get our other shop to re-drill and re-tap the saxo pcd int them.
as for struts i think im going to use the originals but with lower springs.

i am going to impliment the traction control into the build now
if you mean the standard Volvo TRACs sytem, don't bother its naff. Only works to 25mph (or is it 15mph) & kills the power completely when it cuts in

My thought of this was to lock the wheel hubs but still make them adjustable similar to steering rack in a lock position.

their not a shy company. They used my T-5 for the template for the Viper filter, when i took my car they hadn't started production of the Viper so gave me one of there cone filters to replace the K&N. Then sent me a Viper later

They really are amazing to deal with! They have made me a special filter to go on the car and i have been invited to a few events with them (+perks) and they want the volvaxo in attendance , so really gotta pull finger out now :) as one of the shows is about 3 weeks away :-/

hybriduno
Thursday 9th August 2012, 17:38
emails bro.
lots and lots of emails.

If you get a decent company that would be of benefit to another then they would love the exposure, all marketing is about exposure,take for instance,
pipercross,want there logo to be seen on as bigger base as possible. as do templar performance,ard tuning , kam racing etc etc. if each one gets exposure then its a benefit to them as it is a benefit to me.

Like yourself you have evans waterless products. a fantastic product which would benefit many people for instance, pipercross sponsor the drift works team and team falcon. then evans could supply both teams with the same performance coolant and it then benefits pipercros / evans / drift works and team falcon :)

It makes sense to spend time doing something you enjoy and then writing to people that it may benefit, as you and others can benefit also :)

great effort so far and look forward to the finished toy. i have built many a silly car over the years but not all road legal as i race on short ovals.

here is some idea's that may help with problems you have mentioned through the thread.

1 wishbones - with fabrication not being an issue and a welder make wishbones from tubing and use rose joints to connect them up, this will give you the precise length wishbone you require and also will cut out any slop, not difficult to make and if you are not sure then search local autograss to you and plenty of people who make them to size / strength you want. berrisford is the best in business for this.

also you could remove steering rack and use a compression type strut fixed again with rose joints to align wheels as you want them.

2 regards wiring maybe consider a stand alone ecu system ? a good auto electrician should be able to sort what wires do what for you for cost of a few drinks.

will also be interested in what brakes you plan on using on front of the car as the t5 calipers on the rear will out perform the fronts and handbrake are you going to hydraulic for simplicity?

and from experiance i would make a full cage for the car and carry it through to the front strut tops and chassis rails as with the power you have built into the car with no forward bracing it will twist the shell in the end, also i would seam weld it as well , but your car your choice,
top effort and best of luck getting it done .

1 wishbones - with fabrication not being an issue and a welder make wishbones from tubing and use rose joints to connect them up, this will give you the precise length wishbone you require and also will cut out any slop, not difficult to make and if you are not sure then search local autograss to you and plenty of people who make them to size / strength you want. berrisford is the best in business for this.

( we have stuck with the original wishbones now, as it was a simpler fix to get wheels with a deeper inset and to pull the rear quarters out ) ;)

also you could remove steering rack and use a compression type strut fixed again with rose joints to align wheels as you want them.

Rack im undecided on yet :)

2 regards wiring maybe consider a stand alone ecu system ? a good auto electrician should be able to sort what wires do what for you for cost of a few drinks.

(Standard ecu is all wired up now and all electrics figured out :D)

will also be interested in what brakes you plan on using on front of the car as the t5 calipers on the rear will out perform the fronts and handbrake are you going to hydraulic for simplicity?

Bigger brakes on the front but also buying a brake bios system so i can get it set up properly / also i bought an hydraulic handbrake system for £30 from a friend 2 weeks ago :)

and from experiance i would make a full cage for the car and carry it through to the front strut tops and chassis rails as with the power you have built into the car with no forward bracing it will twist the shell in the end, also i would seam weld it as well , but your car your choice,
top effort and best of luck getting it done .

Thanks for all your info :)

**UPDATE** after fitting a new coil/dizzy/rotor and a check over the wires i now have a spark and noise from the engine. on turn over the engine fires once but fails to carry on.
I will take a look at what i can find tomz :) but its good progress for me :) as she is finally firing (ish) spraying fuel into the intake helps but it wont run correctly yet :)

as i had to rush out i ran out of time. ill post more info tom as i find it

Does anyone know?? does the ecu require a feed back from the pump to the ecu to keep it firing?

Still nothing after looking at the wiring again. but what i did find out is, if i disconnect the cylinder nearest the flywheel. (1?) then it will not fire at all.
i have now got the fuel pump all running off the original relay,via the ecu (how it would have been).

disappointing for me as i thought id have her running today :( so now im on the look out for an older ecu from a 94 age (ish) to try that ecu instead as has been suggested

so if anyone has one please help :)

if your fuel pump is working, can i ask on the return fuel pipe have you got it connected to the orginal valve that sat on the orginal car (mounted very close to front subframe) for it to return when engine is on boost into main line? won't run any sense if this device is not fitted.

if you have fuel pump problem i use an inline external pump (walbro) and never had any issues from these running a 300bhp volvo to a 50 hp micra all on same pump

as to the starting running issues can't help much here, but is it immob related maybe?

cant you keep the air filter in the front of the car..?? in the old engine bay, just extend & plumb the piping through..??


very very cool though!! :smile:

Are you planning an engine cover? If you can keep the temps around 20-40 the air density isn't going to be effected too much. Of course the lower would be better, but I think the BHP change would be minimal.

I believe humidity in air is worse...and we live in the UK do we're all screwed

So pleased to see this has fired up! Congrats man!

As for the filter, i'd go horizontal. I like the idea suggested above of an air scoop into a box for the filter!

Used the original fuel pipe as vacuum to the brake servo.


Main + power from the engine has been wired up and re-routed to the front engine bay

that hose might be too small. it might take a good few second to build a good vacuum in the servo and you might find the pedal goes solid if your on a track when using the brakes alot.

Use an addidtional vacuum pump like the S60/s80 where a pressure switch will turn the vaccum motor on where there's a lack of vaccum in the servo or go hydraulic (like me) :D

It's a long way from the front to the rear. Did you make a calculation on the volume to see if the water pump can displace the needed volume of water ? Compare it to the Volvo's original setup (which BTW has a bigger hose) and see, you can eliminate the volume of the radiator - being standard and all.
Very smart of you to isolate the pipe to prevent heat soak and vibration. :D

Hi glock :).......i have a 12v water pump that goes next to the rad to help aid the original pump ;) the pipe is 35mm o/d which is, as you say smaller, but only just so i dont think it will strain it to much........if it does ill make alterations :) the pipes had to be apart from each other or its pointless even bothering lol, im getting some strong machinable rubber to make rubber mounts for the pipes to hang from ;)

Good to know. Also your pipes are stainless ?
For the winter, don't forget to drain it or it'll crack up. I'll advise you on another point -have a bleeder valve at the highest point at the rad, which will help you to remove any air-lock in the system, unless you are using the Volvo's expansion tank - which begs me to ask, where's the expansion tank located ? Front or back ?

the pipes made are mild steel (once its all made and working ill be going to stainless) the water pump thats going to the rad had a bleed valve ;) and i was going to use the orig expansion tank but at the moment its not fitted anywhere ;) i planned on it being in the back but plans can change, if they need to? im open to any comments if you see something that will effect the final build :D

Expansion tank should be near the turbo (like orignal) and place at a higher level than the turbo.
When engine is shut off, water should not be drained from the turbo to aid in the heat convection.

M-R-P .........yes i like the idea of a roof scoop. But :) the rear quarters have scoops in them. and the intercooler is going to have stainless steel ducting to it so the air is force through it. :)

And im glad your enjoying the thread :)
