The issue with lh2.2 is that the hardware doesn't really allow for many mods. Really all you can do is increase boost, replace the cam, and port the turbo inlet/outlet, or head/intake. I would recommend intake porting, because that would balance out flow between runners and increase flow by 7%...

Update on the situation; 1. Still no dyno stuff. Sorry. Next time I swear. 2. Make sure that your heater hose clamps are tight so that they don't blow off your head and lose all your coolant on the highway. 3. Me and RedblockPowered spent a good 3 and a half hours doing runs back and forth on a...

Correct, it seems to work, no codes thrown up yet (CEL wired up to glow plug indicator).

So, uh, update on my modelling to figure out how to make a 2 row pulley with a fluidampr replacing the first row work on the redblock; After suffering from a breakdown and many days of alternator issues that ended up being tied to running 1 V belt instead of 2 (using the factory pulley), I've...

I have 2 amendments to make up that list: 1. I accidentally wrote 58cc chamber, it's actually 57cc or so. 2. 0.027" MLS head gasket. The only added notes that I have is that the downpipe is just a modified Volvo stock downpipe, with the area right before the merge cut off and replaced with a...

I've been mostly silent surrounding my things because I said my next post would be about the dyno and compression, but due to many issues the car suddenly developed that took a back seat which I'll list first. It pisses oil. It used to be worse, until I added lithium grease to the valve cover...

I did an entire write up on modifying rods and pistons when it could've been said in like 1 paragraph. I do not make anything that I do proprietary.

It's less about what's necessary, and more about the cost. All the fluidamprs cost about the same, but the 2jz one is the closest to b230 and would require the least amount of additional machining, thus least added cost. At least for me.

I'm actually in the process of trying to model up a test to see if a 2jz fluidampr could be used with a custom 2 row v-belt pulley to fit the redblock. The two greatest things in the way are that; 1. The damper starts 1/16th of an inch sooner on the 2jz (which might get in the way of the...

Seems to be an ECU for a 1985 and onwards LE jetronic volvo 340.

I was summoned

1983-87 was biodegradable wiring for everything. 88-93 had biodegradable body harness insulation, switching over the engine harness to normal insulation. Even if you were right, the body harness, which is what I'm concerned about, would still be biodegradable.

The harness was already replaced, I'm running lh2.4. They only fixed the engine harness though, the body harness remains biodegradable, and even if they didn't, my car is an 86

The issue at hand is that every 240 after 1983 has biodegradable wiring through the entire car. Even if i fix the existing shorts, the insulation will just keep breaking down, right?

It's called a jerrycan because the design was designed by Germany shortly before the second world war. During the african campaign, they were found by the British and Americans and were copied. They're German (jerry) cans, and mine are korean war vintage. My question I suppose is, is there any...

If you've been following my adventures in my other thread, I built an engine like no other. It ran great. It had cruise control issues, and in investigating what was going on, we discovered a bunch of other issues; namely, both sides of the brake pedal were grounded, and did not turn on the...

So hello everyone, I'm back, with the final post about the LS piston'd redblock project, which going forward I'm just going to call the B230FLS. The first pre-script I have is that amidst the above work, around June 2022, I got an 89 LH2.4 harness. The following August, 2 months later, I took...

Alright, I'm on a train for the next 2 hours, on my way to the Bovington Tank Museum, so with nothing better to do I continue the technical details/storytelling. Before that though; I should clarify that the crank-steered 158mm rods on the klracing website had one more difference besides the...

I'm in a mood to write out the details about the engine build and how everything went, but the first part detailing the machining work and decision making, as well as how I got to the point of actually rebuilding, is much longer than intended. Part 2 will come out eventually, but this one is...

I'm currently exhausted from traveling and it's a pain to pull out my laptop at the moment, so I'm beginning with a quick rundown, with a full set of images and descriptions to follow at some point in the next few days. I built it. It works. 800 miles on it so far, with an oil change after...
