I got tired of messing around so dropped the car off with a wheelbarrow of cash at P.R.E. (
https://preracing.com/)
They are making it fast and solid so I can do track days with it finally. Here's what they are working on and fixing:
Turbo drain leaking.
2/4/2019 Downpipe not fully tightened onto turbo
2/4/2019 Smoke tested, found leak at turbo compress housing where wastegate actuator bolts to housing-recommend removing actuator and inspecting housing. Leak at BOV, idle air lines, throttle shaft, and wastegate shaft also.
2/4/2019 O2 bung plug in downpipe not sealed with crush washer-bolt is tight but washer is free
2/4/2019 Coolant low.
INSTALL IAT SENSOR
header wrap to prevent #1 spark wire from melting and other wires getting too hot and causing misfires
wrap downpipe with remainder wrap • wire up and tune idle air control motor, clean up/hide hoses • preform max power tune, see if it runs out of boost
2/4/2019 Cylinder leakdown Cyl1-12% Cyl2-9% Cyl3-12% Cyl4-3%
2/4/2019 Compression test Cyl1-144psi Cyl2-160psi Cyl3-146psi Cyl4-160psi
calculated CR @ 8.4:1
2/6/2019 Recommend accessory belt replacement
2/7/2019 All systems functional. Turning up boost and clutch started slipping.
2/7/2019 Engine overheating at idle. Need to check coolant system. Was low on coolant, topped off now holding temp although dash temp no longer reading for some reason. ECU shows holding 80c
2/7/2019 fixed fuel prime and coolant temp fuel corrections to make car start cold on first crank. need to confirm.
2/7/2019 coolant temp and air temp do not read the same at key on cold motor. Suspect coolant temp sensor is OEM volvo and needs to be generic gm (haltech) sensor.
WAVETRAC LSD INSTALL / ADJUSTABLE BILLET TRAILING ARMS
RADIUM CATCH CAN INSTALL
REPLACE TIE ROD ENDS
4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT
REPLACE CLUTCH DISC AND PRESSURE PLATE
SURFACE OR REPLACE FLYWHEEL
ADD TRANS FLUID
HYDRAULIC CONVERSION CLUTCH PEDAL
3/14/2019 Speedometer cable broken at transmission. Missing threaded collar that secures it took transmission also.
3/14/2019 Driveshaft carrier bearing mount rubber dryrotted and falling apart, recommend replacement
so far it made 240WHP at 14psi on the 16t turbo before the clutch started slipping. They said it should easily make over 300whp when it's all buttoned up. I have 750cc injectors if it runs out of fuel.
