Okay thanks for the Info and welcome.
Can anyone point me in the direction and recommebd a good paint shop in Birmingham that can paint two drivers side doors in Volvo 419-46 silver then after I fit the doors have the sides of the car...
Just realised those are Gary's old setup aren't they? Great calipers.
Dont drive on boost when running an engine in and dont go mad with the revs until the first oil is changed. You can map the car on the second oil.
If you have new rings fitted and rebuilt the engine completely you should be running it in on mineral oil (running in oil p. Then after 500 or so miles you can drop the oil for another good quality...
Don't drop the capacity. As above fit some sort of extra capacity. The sump has baffles that will be a nightmare to alter when adding wings so dry sump and accumulator may be the best method.
The blues will be good as you have the TT ecu. Set the actuator properly using a vacuum gauge as you want the preload at the correct tension so the ecu can cope and control boost properly. What...
The ATP manifold causes clearance issues at the back of the block. The main engine water pipe at the back of the block can be re routed to give better clearance but thats more work.
A standard rebuild on the K24 will work perfectly on an 850. Also keep boost below 1.5bar as I cracked two housings at 1.5 bar even running very rich.
How much Rick? James you need to come get those parts aswell I'll have them in Yardley if easier in a couple of weeks?
Change your Boost control valve for the correct item to eliminate boost spikes and set the actuator rod to the correct pre-load with a pump and gauge. You can use the later 2001 on T5 Boost control...
The V50 single piece gasket is cheaper than separate items. The turbo doesn't look to bad. Only way to know if its running lean is to check the AFR's.
No.

Having a kit available for the plod spec 320mm discs would be a good option aswell as it would give that bit more clearance than the S60r items and they are 30mm thick. They are found on the phase 2...
If I can find the calculations at work Dave I'll pm them to you as you can work out brake bias by knowing all the factors involved. Brake lines, length piston size, amount of calipers type of...
Best way will be t split the housings from the core and measure the compressor wheel and turbine impellar.
Sorry to hear of the problems but the company you bought the parts from has supplied me with parts that were very good quality. These turbos do need balancing though if you change parts and if they...
Discs are 336mm x 30mm xc90 items. I tried virtually every model audi and vw setup I could but in the end made my own carriers. I sold them to a guy in the States in the end.
If your going to the point of new shells and considering arp bolts while there you should change the rods. You can re use the pistons if they are in a good state of repair and new piston rings would...
The chinese turbos are being sold by companies on ebay for more than they cost to them as a lot of them being sold outside of China are just resellers of the chinese turbos. They work very well if...
The kkk K24 on the 60 T5 and s60r are the same bar a different compressor housing. The r uses a v band clamp connection on the compressor housing whereas the t5 uses a normal outlet for a silicone...
Its not really a step back in technology. more and more cars being produced now must be going back in technology as more small displacement engines are leaning towards using single mass setups. ...
You can keep the standard clutch setup and buy a single mass flywheel to suit your application from Kalmar union.
I used a triple layer metal gasket on the 850 block designed for the s60r so they do work even though they are not the correct bore size. I then switched to an 83mm bore block and again used the...
