All good fella, thanks...coming up to Christmas though so crazier than usual

Here's the link for wiring diagrams http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/volvo480/downloads.php

As Steve says it's an electric water pump fella, meant to run for a bit after the engine stops to help cool the turbo

If it's noisy, the activation circuit should be OK though. If you can find one...

I presume you mean a 400 series?

Tbh, a lot of the auxiliary cooling pumps don't work.
Probably a relay somewhere, or a fuse, or the pump itself.

Not much use I know, but they manage fine...

I replied on the 480 forum but repeated here...

Try using molegrips fella rather than pliers. Here's a schematic of the system

Top hose (black) feeds pressure to the solenoid, middle...

Bit of info...

maybe best to ask the garage who moved it to...

Ebay gauge will do you mate, performance will be better even without extra boost due to fuel & timing changes by Mr Robou

Remember to adjust the resistance setting on the MAF...should be about 530...

^^^^^^^^ What he said. ^^^^^^^^

The fuel/ignition system on these isn't the smartest, although safe if modified properly.

An MBC would spell bad news, as it won't be able to adjust to suit...

I can't recommend upping the boost without sorting out the fuelling to match - mine was overboosting & killed the engine. No idea about MBC's, sorry

Here mate

doh sorry just noticed you posted in that one already

Captain Slow says:

:lol: I thought I asked you & it was taken already.....yes mate a turbo box. Just found a flywheel today, from an F4R Clio. 60-2 pattern.

That comment had me fooled also hence assuming it was a 1.7. After a bit of digging I found this thread, saying early 2 litres were also Norris McWhirters (squirters..!)
...

Reading the op back...

You mention piston cooling.
On a B20F?
New one on me, as I thought they didn't have any cooling, one of the reasons you can't turbo the 2 litre.

Does sound like a...

Just noticed this, if they are both B20F engines I would expect the performance to be pretty similar! GT probably heavier still but not by that much. Nothing obviously wrong with the GT like air...

Which one? I've had several, lol.

The list above is the current fleet. The 850 being a TDi and is my workhorse.

850s:
N/A petrols - torquey, bullet proof engines, not quick, still thirsty...

Welcome aboard :)

Good to see some more 480 love on here.

Here's mine:

I had a brief affair with Jamesy's...

Welcome.
Love a 480 myself, never been brave enough to buy one.

Your GT will be a 2 litre, her ES a 1.7? Same gear ratios AFAIK but about 100 kg difference between them and almost the same power output, that might explain it if so

Nice paris blue turbo...

So, thought it was probably about time I started a project thread for this.
A little old skool for VPC, but seems the best place for it.

Anyway, here cometh the project thread for the last series...
