Cheers for the comments guys :)
Well got the car back from mot.........
Can you believe I got an advisory: number plate deteriorated but not likely to be misread.
What a relief that...

New walbro 255 fuel pump fitted, in tank fuel line......what a bugger of a job getting sender unit back into tank.
Fuel filter changed.
Volvo 760 proper 2x single din centre console purchased.
...
Yay.... dont forget to keep us updated.
I for one would love to see your progress
740s have more status than the 940s, getting more modern ckassic.
940s are just cheap tunable rwd cars.
Motronic crap in 740s not very adaptable......best combo would be late 940 squirter block...
its a swede and proud!!!!!
What do you guys think to this.......took me a few attempts but I'm happy.
Just need to do a few finishing touches.
...
Cheers guys :)
Filled up with fluids now, turned over without coil connected and couldnt see any leaks or strange noises.
Fingers crossed......
Once running will be straight into 3"exhaust,...
Yes mate that looks like the one :)
You"ll have to modify your down pipe to change the flange.
If you do it now at least you wont have to do it later :)
It was more of a question to the masses rather than a dont do it.
Be good to know at what level it needs upgrading.
with regards to maf from previous experience I would always try buy a genuine bosch item, I've learnt that the hard way after buying inferior bosch copies......but that is the correct part number....
While manifold is off you going to grind it out to t3 size inlet....much better flow :)
What amm you running with those injectors?
But surely you would grind valves to valve seat so it wouldn't matter ??
obviously after checking stem wear etc was within spec.
It does look good graham. As you say they're only plastics but its very individual.
Brings the engine bay to life and highlights how clean it all is.
Oh and steering wheel looks a cracking job...
I hear it makes a healthy 140bhp ;)
I blame smithy it was his fault I started all this and now jks is on here I think things may progress rather well :)
13c has smaller hot side, wouldnt have thought much point making hybrid with it.
Could you not just get volvo hot side from somewhere like kana whats it called.
In what way is ur ebay turbo wrong? Hope that its not it wont fit ur down pipe, only a 13c and 15g have conical flange.
They also need clocking for rwd. (Housings rotating. )
Auxiliary belts and what not all refitted.
Got a replacement intercooler previously.
Its only a npr (issuzu) lorry intercooler. 55mm deep instead of 35 standard with 2.75" inlet/outlet as...
Expansion bottle certainly makes a huge difference....looking really clean.
Todays job mostly involved piss arsing about trying to line up chra with turbo drain pipe.
Makes it look like it'll bite passers by.
Painting the wheels to match grey on the bumpers will finish it off nicely :)
Very nice pics

The radio suppression relay is also fuel injection relay.
Certainly will.
moving from 1st floor 2 bed flat to a 3 bed house with access to rear garden through bolted double gates that has covered car port and nice large shed.
Only got manifold, turbo...
Looking good.....weldings coming along nicely, thats something I need to learn.
so what plans you got for the engine? Any swaps in the pipeline.
With most the hard work done been working hard cleaning the surface of block up and even treated to a new coat of paint so i do actually have a redblock now...:funkybana
Also prepping masking...
Thetford :cool:......used to work on Edinburgh way.lol
Search for a 012 AMM (maf) from a 91-94 Volvo 960 along with the throttle body and bobs your uncle 3".
certain 960 saloons also have stiffer...
