Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi! finally I got my exhuast parts today :) everything is stainless und has a diameter of 2.5" and the cat iss a 200 cell version which should give a nice flow, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/tobi480turbo/teile-klein1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v475/tobi480turbo/teile-klein.jpg No...

Yes ... always too much to do and a day could have 48hours and it wouldn´t be enough ;) Hope to get my car back together today if the weather isn´t that bad, have been reworking my turbo adapter the last days and I´m curious if it´s going to make a difference like it is now, but before I have to...

Hi,

Yes for sure this is a proper done job ... and also seems like very time consuming

Hi, I haven´t done a bigger pipe for the downpipe, I just have removed some restrictions which I had at the adapter plate I made the pipe is 2.5" like it was before, but the exhaust turbine wheel was ~1/3 behind the adapter plate so that the exhaust gases weren´t able to pass through without hitti...

Hi,

as far as I know does he want to run the engine with 2.5 to 3 bar of boost pressure, the pistons are ceramic coated to withstand the thermal exposure, in fact of the rods and the crank I don´t know exactly if they´re forged but the rods are balanced and new bearings are fitted.

Hi,

Yes that´s how an engine has to look like
everything nicely done and reworked and not to forget the supercharger and the very laaaarge turbo

Cheers

Hehe ok

I hope I´m arround 250Hp when I´m finished with it ... have been reworking my turbo downpipe today that it hasn´t that much of restriction like before, I´m curious how it will work with the new exhaust

Cheers

You got 435Hp at your 480 ?

Cheers

Hi,

congrats JT ... nice to hear that your "new" engine is running

Hope you´ll have much fun with it and hope everything is going to run fine !

Cheers

Hi,

looks nice

hope mine is going to be looking similar when it´s done ... and hope it´s not going to be that loud ^^

Cheers

Hi, I´m a little bit courious what kind of "tuning" exhausts are used from the members arround here ? Today I went a "little" bit shopping and the result is that at the end of next week I´m going to get a complete handmade/welded stainless 2.5" exhaust for my 480 with 2 pipes out at the end. Ok it...

Hi,

Hmm I think I need to do something with my leather interieur too ... doesn´t look that nice at the mo ... anybody has some good ideas about how to "restore" the leather or make it nice and shiny again ?

Cheers

Hi,

looking quite nice so far

hope everything is about to go on as well as the paint and cleaning job is going on

I had to swap my engine wiring loom at Monday, and for now my 480 is running like a beauty again ... hope yours is doing the same when finished!

Cheers

Humm,

Sounds a little bit strange ... probably a faulty temp sensor ? or a leak somewhere ( pop off faulty hose ) ?

Cheers

Hi, I don´t think that skimming a 2litre ( B20 ) Head is possible to gain a higher compresion ratio at the B18 N/A engine, cause as you wrote it has a combustion chamber in it and lots of skimming would be needed. I also don´t know if the oil channels from the engine block to the head are the same...

Mr Bulkhead, meet Mr Angle Grinder

I love turbos! Power for nothing! In non engineering terms the closest thing you'll get to a free lunch!

Hi, just keep in mind that there´s not that much space between the engine and the back of the engine compartement ... so before I´d buy such a massive charger I´d do some measurements to be sure that it´s fitting and enought space is left. But if something like this is going to fit I think you c...

Had mine a little bit faste then shown at the pic before ... but at least I also hadn´t had the rev limiter ... so I think there should be some more romm for some more Km/h ^^
