Hey gang, So I resurrected my hooptay earlier today, and am having some big misfire issues. I'm using a RSI flywheel with the 60-2 drilling, and a stock VR sensor. Hitting #1 with a timing light, the mark jumps around a ton - usually it's right on idle timing (~14deg), but about 20% of the...

Hey gang, My hoopt's been "running" on a hacked up old MS2.2 for something like ten+ years now - it's time to make the switch to something I trust a little more. I've been comparing VEMS and MS3-Pro, and I'd love to hear some TB'ers experiences. I know Nathan's been happy with MS3-Pro, and...

Do whiteblock & redblock thermostat housings line up? A little more info on my problem here, basically I need a tighter angle on my upper radiator hose. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=270936 Based on the photo of this guy, it looks pretty close to me, and it's just about the...

So I think I might be missing something totally simple here, but I'm suddenly really confused about shooting the ignition timing on my B234. It seems like the lower timing cover isn't lining up with TDC. - I placed a mark on the crank pulley at TDC, and lined it up with the mark that looks like...

Hey all, So I'm trying to get the hoopt to at least idle enough to shoot the timing, and I'm having a pretty rough time. It'll run for a few seconds and then flood out, usually with some backfiring involved. I'm using a 60-2 wheel with the stock Volvo VR sensor and the Zeal daughtercard. I...

Hey all, I'm just about to re-plumb my hoopt, does anybody know if the fittings are different between an early NA 240 filter and a turbo/late model one? Ideally I'd go to the bigger filter, but if I have to do the fitting song & dance I might just grab another small one and add that to a later...

So I've got an RSI flat flywheel without the pins for the pressure plate about to go in, and I've got some 950543 pins from Volvo, and sure enough, they're not the right size - too small. VADIS also lists 1332078, is that the right pin, or is it something else again?

Anybody know where I can get some of the round pins that fit in the 240's gauge cluster connectors? Seems like Volvo uses similar ones in a bunch of the chassis connectors too. Here's the pins: And here's the pins on the cluster that they go to:

Car is an '88 240. Only mods are a cometic HG and an exhaust. The problem's been happening for about a year now - when it's cold in the morning, I can't give it more than half throttle, or output completely dies, almost as if fuel's being cut. No unusual noises, shudders, anything, just once I...

So Jen's gonna be out of town next weekend, anybody up for beer, pizza, and benchracing?

So I'm getting ready to push the hooptie into the garage for the winter projects, and one of them I want to tackle is repainting the engine bay white. I've chatted briefly with Pat D about how he made Badger's engine bay so amazing looking, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to move enough cash...

Been talking about these a bit in my project thread, but I'll cross post over here since I'm getting stumped. I'm getting some super gnarly EDIS resets on my hoopt - like so: Basic setup is MS1/extra with EDIS, B234, HX35. In this one it was way richer - initially I thought it was related...

Anybody done it? Recommendations on a good place to get it done?

This is more or less a cross post from my <a href="http://forums.turbobricks.com/showpost.php?p=3715692&postcount=550">project thread</a>, but I know a bunch of people don't lurk over there - I'm having some tach issues that I'm more confident I can sort out, but the false leans have me really...

So I flogged the crap out of my car yesterday, and notice two things that I need to tend to. First - I don't think my oil cooler's ever getting any oil - do the thermostats ever fail in the sandwich plate? I've got a slightly non-standard setup, and my sandwich plate's inlet & outlet are...

2 questions for the gang: - WTF size is that huge nut holding on the output flange on an early M46? My big socket collection is pretty weak, so all I know is that it's bigger than 1" and smaller than 32mm. - Will an output flange from an AW work on the back of an M46? Externally they look...

Hey all, So my MS O2 voltage won't read above 3.89 volts, even though the O2 controller is outputting like 4.9v. Any ideas what might be up? I'm going to try a reflash and cross my fingers, but has anybody seen anything like this before?

<font color="red">Update: this ain't no feeler anymore. :zeeall:</font> On May 1st Chuckanut Sports Car Club is holding an autocross, and I'll be bacheloring it for the weekend, so what better time to hang out with my Volvo buddies and break in the grill? I've got room for a few people to stay...
