It's almost a shame to cover up that lovely kevlar belt

I know, shame you can't get clear covers

[MWT5]

Engine looking very nice especially like the blue against the silver.
Was the block just cleaned or cleaned & painted.

[Volvostorm]

It was washed down, cleaned with a wire brush on a drill, then painted

I know I've asked before, what's the part number for a 850R clutch?????

[Volvostorm]

Got the gearbox back today, anybody care to guess what colour thats going to be?

[T4_Al]

850r clutch P/N for kit, Volvo P/N 272218

063082254404 - Sachs P/N for pressure plate Volvo P/N - 9176268

201862534001 - Sachs P/N for flywheel Volvo P/N - 9176262

[Volvostorm]

I know people fit the S60R rear brakes, can I fit the vented AWD setup instead? I know they are rare

Small update:

Ordered the turbo, using a GT3071 with metal caged bearings and cut-blades on the compresser wheel, should be here next week! Can't wait, and, my AP's should be arriving too!

[Volvostorm]

Bit of help needed, anybody got any pictures of the water connections for the turbo? I've done the top one, can't remember where the bottom one connects to the engine

[Volvostorm]

I've started to pipe up the turbo now, but this is it

Paul, ill take a picture of the back of the block tomorrow with the turbo connected for you.

Basically if you were looking from the top of the engine in the car on the right right hand side of the engine to the right slightly below where the actuator would be there is a coolant pipe rail that connected to the rear of the block. There are two outlets and a straight through connection. If I remember correctly the left hand connection goes to the heater matrix and the right hand connector to the lower turbo water connection.

Cheers Emlyn, I did manage to find/get the info

Don't suppose anybody knows what thread the oil feed banjo on the block, I know its 14mm, I'm hoping its 1.5

No problem glad you managed to sort it.

As for the banjo no idea sorry, they are too easy to loose so the current one isnt going anywhere!

M14x1.5mm thread on the block. Buy a M14x1.5 to 6an or 4an adaptor that way you can just fit up a braided water line straight to it.
