Glad to see you got your turbo! Were you able to source it domestically, or did ATP have to ship it?
Cable.
Not sure as to what could be causing the problem though. Sorry :(
[QUOTE=S60D5]but it will have a stronger bottom end. QUOTE]
The B5234T4 (Euro-spec manual 850R) has different (stronger) bearings on the bottom end than the B5234T5 (T5R/ auto 850R) or the B5234FT...
As the person who's usually trying to hammer the differences between the M56L and the M56H into the chaps on Volvospeed, lemme save you the trouble of searching.
The gear ratios are indeed...
CV boots do fail periodically, and if not caught soon enough, you do have to replace the CV joint - that's probably the bearing they're talking about. You're looking at maybe $200 for the part. It's...
Since I see you're also in the States... go by your local autozone, you can rent an OBD-II reader there. It plugs in to a little connector near the coin tray (look for the "OBD-II" label, it's under...
I usually turn routine maintenance over to a professional (time constraints),but I do all the mods myself and typically also do larger maintenace items when they arise (radiators, heater cores,...
It is baffled, but the accumulator is still a great idea. I already toasted one motor due to a "high-stress" oiling issue, the accumulator is being added to the next motor before it too gets blown.
It's something like diameter x width on most of 'em
Check around on Volvospeed for some of the videos of Florian's car. It's completely bonkers.
Seems a bit big, no? Why not just go the home-built route with spare turbos?
1) Yeah, sounds like a headgasket.. sorry! Get the head checked for warping
2) You probably also have vaccum leaks. Start replacing the various vac hoses.
Yep, I can get you off-the-shelf Forged pistons from Venolia in any size you want, just email me- jross [at] volvospeed.com . You're probably looking at a ballpark cost of 500 pounds for a set...
It's in the ballpark of 300lbs with all the goodies still on it, from what I remember of mine. Probably weighs less that that, actually... the crank is the single heaviest part by far.
Volvo deliberately developed an engine that could take abuse, which is why you see a good number of T5s with 150k+ miles which are in good shape with just routine maintenance.
That being said, the...
Who made the grille you're using? Just curious.
Some Rs for whatever reason do have the ordinary front bumper and rims, if the original buyer asked for them. The other features on the R to look for:
1) Suede & leather interior - on the T5R, the...
manual boost controller
allows you to manually set the boost level (instead of using the ECU to control boost)
At least it's just a lifter & cam! New internals is spendy...
Reliability with mods totally depends on the mods and your driving style. The more agressive your mods, the more apt you are to end up breaking something important. Likewise with driving style. With...
Hey, awesome new look Jermey! I'm torn between the Merc grille you were running and this new one... both have a unique appeal.
That being said, could you resize that top pic down a wee bit? It's...
The M59 LSD won't work in an M56
Alot of folks here in the US tend towards aftermarket replacements for the radio. It's usually not a big deal to get a wiring harness that will allow you to use all the stock speakers with a new HU....
Johann (www.swededemon.com) has been using LSDs on his FWD Volvos and seems to like 'em.
Not many folks making LSDs for our cars, though. Heico does, and I've heard rumors that Quaiffe (sp?)...
