So I don't frequent the board much anymore, but I do have MS on another vehicle. Heres the issue... I keep getting PW spikes. They dont seem to be correlated to anything that I can see. The voltage fluctuation does seem to be a bit of an issue, so I plan on running a dedicated positive wire to...

So on my 96' 964, my inner tie rod ends are making a racket. Ive gone through a few different parts sources trying to find parts for the job. The outer tie rod ends were no problem. The inners seem to come in a few varieties. Koyo, trw, or cam steering racks are my options... The problem is that...

I was messing around at work and found that kyb says their early 700/900 strut cartridges can be used in the 95+ 960s. Anyone know the deal on this? I kind of suspect that they would work, but other manufacturers sell only an entire strut assembly. Can the performance struts from the early cars...

So one of the speakers is blown in the back of my 96' 964. I did a quick search but can't seem to find out how that thing comes out. Can anyone give me the cliffnotes? Thanks

Its like version Bignumber.0, except this time its on my birthday, and I don't have a Volvo anymore. But what can I say? I love you guys! (no homo, bro) So in celebration of me failing at making Volvos fast (and my birthday (bring me presents)), Isaac and I have decided to have another meet...

So I've recently decided that I'm going to be building up a non-turbo whiteblock six for my 240. I figured I'd start a thread where we can combine some knowledge about what to do with a whiteblock to turn it into a high RPM screamer. This information could be useful for someone like me that...

So for a while my 960 has has this problem where the compressor will run intermittantly. Sometimes I get in the car and things work perfectly. Sometimes I'll start the car and the ECC will start blinking rapidly for an infinite amount of time. Sometimes it'll work then stop halfway through the...

So, on my 96' 960 I'm needing to get rid of the secondary air injection. Basically, my long term project is swapping a T6 motor in, then running a piggyback setup to control fuel and retard the timing. One thing I'm having an issue with is what I'm giong to do in order to keep the computer...

So, last week, my roommate noticed that a 2000 S80T6 popped up on the inventory of our airport junkyard. I was busy this weekend doing things and finally had a chance to go yesterday morning with my roommate and check it out. Will and I get there and look row by row trying to find this S80...

So I may or may not be working on a T6 to 960 swap. :ninja: One of the things I'm having an issue with is the varable cam timing on the exhaust cam. Is there a way to disable it or make it not active? I'm going with a managment that wont likely have the means to control it. Ideas? Comments?

So I found someone thats going to repaint my 242 on the cheap. I'm wanting to get away from the crappy rustoleum job the car has now and actually have a respectable looking car. I'm wanting some form of red, because I've always loved red 242s. So I was thinking about a midnight red. I like how...

I've been chasing down this suspension issue in my 960. For the longest time, I thought it was a wheel bearing ready to go. After further inspection, it appears that the rear bushing on my lower control arm (pass side) is torn, causing the whole strut to move around. I'm talking about this one...

...were pretty gangster ourselves... ^^^ find the rubber chicken :rofl: So my roommate and I decided to get off of work and head out to Orlando Speedworld to see what our **** would run. The evening was a mixture of win, with my 242 going 14.2 @ 99, and fail with the Toyota snapping an...

So yeah, here's the plan. Things will be based out of my place. I've moved since the last OM, PM me for my new address. As for parking this time, we've got some spaces along the street and my neighbors driveway (nobody actually lives there, so I use it as my personal overflow parking). If we...

So lately I've noticed my 960 has an interesting set of issues. The guy that started this thread: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=54058 describes the issues I'm having perfectly. I've gone through and done all the possible little tricks (marvel mystery oil, 4000rpms, thicker oil...

Sorry for the not so great quality pictures. I'm no foto-nerd, plus it was getting dark. I decided to take it for a spin in celebration of clearing up some other financial obligations. I love it. Even at only 6 psi from the holset its already so fun to drive.

So I found a set of the earlier cams in the JY for my 960. Of course, pulling them was a piece of cake once I removed the 60 or so bolts that hold the cam cover down. I cant seem to find any instructions for reinstalling cams on a whiteblock though. I know theres a tool Volvo sells for it, and I...

I picked this up from a guy selling on CL advertised at 1500$. I got there and quickly discovered it had a pretty severe miss that left it running on 5 cylinders. Of course, being the genius I am, I already knew what the problem was and moved on. It had a slight sunroof leak that I wasn't too...

I've been trying to get my OEM coolant temp sensor to work properly w/ MS. I tried easytherm once before, and it didn't seem to do anything useful. So I was trying to transfer the .s19 again and I forgot to unplug my coil pack. Went to MT to see if anything was different. It wasnt, but I figured...

I'm working on this car for a friend. She tells me its been stalling and not wanting to start more and more frequently. She says its usually worse when its hot. I immediately think the crank position sensor. Swapped in a known good spare. Spark is strong. Next, I figure it has to be a fuel...
