It runs! :) :) ;)

Some quick update pics and story.

Went from this

to this.

Also it started for the first time today. Although there are still many problems to sort out its prigress in the right direction. Sounds nice too!

Once it started we found a good few boost leaks. Managed to sort them, found it needs a new airflow meter and Ecu. Has a really bad water leak from somewhere as well :S

Spot on matey....will it be along to the next winter meet??

 

[edde]

Are you using the normal ECU's? Why not if you need a new one go for something a bit expensive stand alone then more powers easier to map out?

Stock turbo is it?

 

[Nafoff]

looks sweet dave..good work..will have to catch up on msn soon

 

[AmirClio]

Good work man, this was just being started when i first joined CS! Cant wait to see it finished!

 

[Djw Dave]

How much power does the Volvo engine push out fella?

They push 120bhp standard. Once its been 'chipped' it should run about 160-170. Not crazy bhp but enough. I have one that i have built with a T25, wild cam and alot of headwork. That one will run 200bhp!

Yes. It wont be out before spring though! Stays in the garage over winter. or it would just fall apart.

Should look a bit diffrent at FCS as well.

Its on standard managment yes. The ECU is not dear so im not going to make the jump yet.

As ive said i have built another engine which will go on standalone managment.

Standard T2 at the moment yes, but i have a T25 there for it.

Cheers.

It was ment to be done last year, but after stripping the engine out etc, my turbo engine wasnt going to be ready for FCS. So i put it all back together again with the 1.4 and took it to FCS!!!



Ready soon-ish though
