dbarton — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:30:52 GMT

Anyone know what the thread size is on the Banjo for a 240t oil filter sandwich plate? M14 x something? M18? Bigger?
Much appreciated.

SunRoof issues

FITZ5 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:06:24 GMT

Hello all,

been awhile since i posted on here but i have been reading the forums daily.and thought i would post a few issues that i am trying to get ironed out on my car.

first off i had my 2 front seats completely rebuilt and new material installed and i tell ya now its like driving down the street in a lazyboy chair. it cost me 550.00 for both seats to get rebuilt.

i also had them install new lumbar kits on both sides i got the kits from ipd for 75.00 each so all in all i spent 700.00 total and it was worth it as i plan on keeping the car for awhile.

one other issue that i am having just started a few days ago with the sunroof it opens and retracts fine most of the time and the rear vent works ok too.

i noticed one of the guide arms on the left side of the roof in the back is broken and that would explain why the roof sits a little low on the left side when fully closed.

also whats happening now is that the sunroof will not close all the way but when trying to close it the front part of the sunroof thats suppose to fold down when closing the roof it hangs on that.

any ideas from yall would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

1984 Volvo 240 Front Wheel Bearing Seal

Which way to seat it:

1. Thin lip side pushed in first, so you see the numbers when inserted

or

2. Fat round side in first?

WTF 240 ebay turbo kit

odinthewanderer — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:40:46 GMT

i like to look through ebay with "volvo" and "turbo" in the search occasionally to see if there is anything good locally i could go check out, and i find this.
no, i am not buying it, and i am sure this is mostly junk, but i thought i would post it anywho.

Hi everyone, I am new

Hey guys,
Just bought a 90 740 turbo 4spd od sedan and am starting my build. It starts monday with maintenance in mind and any other curve balls and then who knows what I will decide to do with it. A little backround on me, I live in Colorado, I am a BMW tech and want a car to work on and mod that isnt super complicated, and non interference engine with potential so I chose a volvo. I have been looking for a 242 but decided to settle with the 740 due to the year and engine internals, latest fuel injection, ect... you guys know what I mean. I am no stranger to the posts here and probably already answered most of my first questions just by searching. Thanks again for the massive data base and all the contributors. The funny thing is I go to the drag strip (Bandermere) out here alot in the warmer months and one night saw a 740 wagon that inspired me to want to build a volvo, the funny part is that car is the feature car on the homepage for turbobricks. haha. Very nice car and nice guy. When I was there we were racing a 2002 JCW Mini Cooper S that we are building into a drag car for my compay, goodtimes. Hopefully I can get mine out there this summer and watch my progress with numbers on a slip. Pictures soon if you guys want, if not I know you have all seen a 740 red sedan before that is bone stock. Until next time.

940 i just dunno...

Exhaust cutout w/ B230F throttle body

89sleepr240 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:58:45 GMT

I brewed up an exhaust cutout using an old throttle body donated by Patrick (daytonAE86) this afternoon. I used a piece of left over 1/4" mild steel for the flange, and a chunk of 2.5" exhaust pipe left over from 244 exhaust. Total cost is $0. I am going to MIG it on just before the cat on my 242, and open and close it using a manual choke cable.

I realize that the performance gains =0rwhp, and it will only make my car noisy. And yes, it does seal reasonably well. I capped it and pressurized about .5cu. ft. to 15PSI, and it took about 10 seconds to bleed down. It was just a fun little Friday afternoon project to exercise my mind.

Please excuse the cell phone pictures.

What type of coolant sensor are you using in your SOHC Volvo head?

VolvoPunch — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:52:48 GMT

Title. I was hoping that my stock volvo sensor would work with ms but after trying all of the thermal table calibrations nothing seems to work.

PSI drop?

Mr.Borrie — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:46:30 GMT

Does this add up?

I went from a stock Garrett turbo and volvo manifold (1986 B230ET) to a Bondo manifold and Sierra Cosworth Turbo and 3" Downpipe.

With the old setup i got around 7-10PSI.

With the new setup i only get 5-6 PSI, i cant find a boost leak and it still spools up insanely fast its just that it stays around 6-5PSI.. its faster then first but how come it wont go higher in boost (not running MBC) Is it maybe the injectionsystem thats wont handle more? (Motronic chipped)

Anyway i'm having fun with the tire burning power its just that seeing things on gauges go down that doesn't make me feel 100% happy

850 seats fitted perfectly on 240

Milos Protic — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:32:27 GMT

Last week I found a bargain on my friends volvo junkyard, I bought front seats from volvo850 and with little fiddling and a few welds they fitted perfectly, simple bolt on. Even though my favorite car is RWD 245, 850 seats are much better an stiffer, especially trough corners.
Anyway it`s an easy build, that wouldn`t take more than two hours and anyone who wants to know how to customize 850 seats to bolt on 240 brackets just say the word and I`ll explane the procedure.

P.S. even the side storage buckets on the sit fit perfectly in 240 interior

Suggest Spacer thickness for 240. 18x9 ET26 and 18x10.5 ET27...

cam change for 940 b200ft

Milos Protic — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:12:22 GMT

Ok so one of my buddys just got 940 with B200FT (after the crappy V40 1.9td) and he wants to change T cam for some other, but the distributor is head mounted and it`s round tooth timing belt 1995. So we need help choosing a cam that would fit, with as less modifications as possible. He doesen`t need high performance cam, just something that would give him more power and torque in mid-range, from 2500-4500rpm.

Any suggests are more than welcome.
