    90 740 ticking after new wheel bearings

    Replaced the front wheel bearing assemblies in my 90 740. Used correct torque specs, anti seize, etc. Made sure the heat shields are clearing the rotors...

    Car is a 1990 740 turbo. Rebuilt 15g, mbc, otherwise stock. Did a WOT pull last night and when it hit redline in 2nd gear, the car bucked a little and then lost power. Now the car will start and move, but will die immediately when it crosses from vacuum into boost. Had a little trouble...

    The O.G. Volvette (R.I.P. Bill Boyle)

    I'm going to start off by saying I am a huge fan of Dug's TTls1 740 wagon, but I am here to share a car that is *technically* one of the original Volvettes. To make a looong story short, this car is currently a 1976 Volvo 265 from the front doors forward, and a 1990 245 from there back. The...

    What RSI cam do I have?

    I bought an RSI stage I Cam sometime in 2011, and since then I have seen comments that say the early stage I is "similar to a newer stage II". Non-slotted I believe and installed in my 242 Turbo. Starting my Megasquirt project so knowing the cam profile *may* help me during tuning. Would a ~mid...

    Steel vs Aluminum control arms. What should I do?

    1990 Volvo 740 Turbo. Cut prings (~1"lower) bone stock otherwise. It's time to do the bushing in the front suspension. As far as I can tell, the car has the original, aluminum lower control arms. The only available replacement is to buy the bushings individually, or buy a steel replacement...
