For the aux belt tensioner I use a 1/2" to 3/4" socket drive adapter lightly ground down on 2 of its flats so it fits easily

Good to hear an update and that your still plodding on with your project, just sad that tuning can be a right ball breaker sometimes.....:doh:

VPCUK is a hive of information, way better than any FB page could be for info like this, glad you found the answer you were looking for.

As Dave mentioned they could be blanking plugs, or possibly the bumper has been swapped a some point in the cars history for one reason or another.

That's me going in a different direction, compound charging should be fun and expand my knowledge a fair bit more, I'm already machining up a part that may grace the engine bay, which will depend on...

I think that's highly likely......:wavey:

Well I thought I get some pic's up of the work done last year on Gul starting with the boring out of the inlet manifold
32962
all went well and the hole saw was just the prefect size and just a...

I've got to to rip the head off Gul's engine shortly, that one was well cooked and acting as a water pump, so I am expecting in to have warped it's head, so it will be interesting if I have the same...

Welcome back mate



Nealevo's 850R fetched a fair bit more that that and AndysR did too iirc, when Neal had finished with it.

Tbh it seems to be getting a bit busier around here lately, then which updates on threads like yours it all helps.

N/A cams will depend on how far you wish to go in getting every last pony out of her or whether you can be bothered for the small extra gain you could possibly get, if the engine is coming to bits...

I love that pedal box.....:shockedbi:shockedbi:shockedbi

I'd have a word with TTV Racing they do very nice light weight flywheels and may be able to give you the complete package, seem to think there flywheel with an 850 clutch will drop straight in, don't...

should be, almost everything is possible, what vehicle have you got that you wish to do this to..?

Glad you've got it sorted, just get the volvo coolant in there asap, I learnt the hard way, I would make that mistake again.

Your 940 project looks to be coming along nicely and I look forward to seeing more of your progress over the coming months. I had 2 740's and loved them, rwd drive and loads of load space where handy...

Only word of warning if running the car with a water leak and just possibly topping up with water, untill a point at which you can get it fixed..! I've just killed two Volvo's, with my attitude of...

When you say the return pipe is rock solid, you will probably find that the outlet spigot on the thermostat housing as corroded up blocking the return, it's a stupidly small bore tbh, why I don't...

It wouldn't be Claymore's car if a supercharger didn't wind up nestling under the bonnet....

Coolant leaks.....don't get me started on those, I killed two engines in separate vehicles within a couple of weeks of each other by not attending to them straight away, I look at a small weep in a...

sorry should have mentioned that a little drilling and tapping may be required, but it's not to difficult really

Thanks, I may well take you up on that JT, nice to see you popped in for a catch up.

I think I worked the distance out from the measurement the instructions gave and applied that from the outlet flange on the turbo back down the downpipe IIRC.

That's probably because they where never black from new, the bumper tops were dark grey originally, C4 does bring those up lovely and lasts about 2 years in my experience, your bumpers have probably...

Best bang for buck from my experience so far on an 850 is S60R manifold or Japanifold, late angled flange hotside fitted to your turbo, blues or green injectors but this will depend on your map and...
