    Yeah - I've seen that one!

    Sadly it would require an IVA to make it properly road legal - I was doing the same as the same guy who did the saxo's Toyota MR2 - I was plannnig to put the T5 engine...

    A car to put my engine in

    Rather than having a car and looking for an engine to put in it.... I have the opposite.. I have an engine that I want options that it will fit into.

    Over the last 4 or so years I've been building...

    Oil/lubricant is a very good shout - I've just put this together before seeing that - I'll do another test soon with some oil in - anyhow - here is a better view of what I'm currently getting

    Took the timing belt off completely and re did the timing - timing is now spot on - the only thing is that there still is hissing from the exhaust side when sealed - does this mean I'll have to relap...

    Neither have I - I sent him the cams, so I think it's me to blame for sending them... But still don't know if the 99 c70t5 ones are different to those of the 2002 v70t5 ones... That feels like the...

    Me too :hilarious

    It has VVT on the exhaust only.

    I'm going to check the notches at the other end when I get back in as well. Memory doesn't serve well during this Christmas period...

    There...

    Thanks - I'll give it a test tomorrow when I get back - my concern is that there seems to be little or no overlap with the cams being closed. However, I'm not with the engine now so running on memory...
  8. Cams C70T5 cams in a V70 T5 (2.3) with 2.4 block....

    Problem

    I've got an engine with a 2.4l block and a 2.3 head that has been ported - this was assembled by Shem a couple of years ago and has sat dormant whilst I've been building the rest of the...
  9. That's the plan 31164

    That's the plan

    That makes a lot of sense - I'm planning to (at the moment) use an emerald ECU and keep the VVT, but if the dual VVT doesn't make a huge amount of difference then I might just stick with the 2.3

  11. Ported 2.3 T5 head, or stock 2.4 T5 - what would you choose?

    I've got a weird one, I've got a 2.4 T5 bottom end with a 2.3 ported head (put together by shem a few years ago). It's going into a kit car, but before I do, I do have a spare 2.4 T5 head. What would...
  12. Awesome guys - thanks for all your help!

    Awesome guys - thanks for all your help!

    :rotfl::rotfl:I love their claims of 'no lag' - good to hear its actually a turbo and not a supercharger :rofl:
  14. They seem stronger than I thought they'd be -...

    They seem stronger than I thought they'd be - from my understanding they're the same as the R rods/bottom end and can take a huge amount more than the older ones from the 2.3, but I'm still in fear...

    Thanks dream3r - what about a cavalli turbo on the stock rods? I've actually now got a 2007 2.4 t5 car now, to less hassle in terms of changing engine!

    Haha - The sensible answer is no, it's totally not worth it, but for me its a project that I want to use all the things I have already and make something from it - the scirocco has some serious...

    Thanks Santa,

    Having very little experience with AWD systems I might be throwing myself in a little deep I feel - the original plan was to mate the 5 pot with an M90 geabox and RWD the car, but...

    Yeah - when I put them on the v70.... they looked tiny!

    Haha - I wasn't worrying too much!

    They're 18" Japan Racing JR10's - the best thing is with 5x108 they fit onto my (new since the begining of this thread) v70... though I did have to space them...

    Thanks Lee - I'm basically making a mongrel of a mk2 VW scirocco and a Volvo 2.4 t5 (with a load of mods) and hoping to get standalone management and a 4wd system - I'm guessing the older one might...

    Thanks for all the kind words about the 1800 :)

    I'm pretty sure I won't get smited (smighted, smit... not sure how or if that's a word!) as it's fully returnable from the air ride to it's original...
