we where having trouble with the cam sensor yesterday.. the tooth that gives the signal is to narrow for NIRA to register, and since i dont want to take the shaft out now to make a new tooth i moved the sensor up to the camshaft for now..

also, the TPS was defective so i had to fit a GM style one instead!

btw, it might start tomorrow

This thing is sweet!!!!

[volvo242]

cant wait to see it on its wheels

[volvo242]

ran the oilpump today! got 4 bar oil pressure and no leaks with the makita as power source

[volvo242]

oil filter came today, so now im a step closer to turn the key

[volvo242]

did the last brakelines today





muchos stopping power.. more then stock atleast ;P


and the brakelines at the back

[volvo242]

changed out the EV1 connectors for the new and better EV6 connectors.. ive bought injectors that is e85 compatible, and the newer ev6 injectors has a better spray pattern they said


brake fluid reservoirs mounted



the exhoust is finished, welded the last stuff at the rear today. and i also made an wg outlet pipe!


the wg vband flange is 60mm outer diameter and the pipe is 2,5". so i cut plenty of cuts in the pipe, knocked it together and welded it. ok "reducer" i think


screamer pipe it is Gonna make an extra pipe when i get the time, that goes into the exhoust. then i can choose if i want to run the screamer pipe or change it out with a more silent version!

becouse of strickt sound level rules at some of the tracks here in norway i had to make shure its not THAT noisy! so 2 silincers from KL racing at the back + a home made silencer welded staight on the KL racing cans ;P

The home made one is filled with a glass fiber mat, forgot to take a pic ;P













just a couple more welds and a solid mounting point left to do and the exhoust is finished

So keen to see where this goes, can't believe I hadn't read through this thread before today.

This really makes me appreciate how much work goes into cars like these.

Keep it up

[volvo242]

driveshaft is done, filled the mid mount / bearing thingy with sika window glue.. safe to say the play that was there is now gone..



but i was very eager to get on with the exhoust, so i totaly forgot to take any pics of the driveshaft mounted in the car.. might get a few tomorrow.. i really dont think they planned on using a audi / TH400 driveshaft combo in the 240 tho, its a VERY thight fit!

aanyway, downpipe! 4" stainless for the first bit, then 2x2,5" from there due to lack of space.. 3,5-4" tubing really doesnt work under a 240 ;P









more pipes ;P

[Rubens]

Insane haha

[volvo242]

the new dry sump tank has found a home ;P



gonna get a big hose clamp to hold it in place against the bracket



if you cant hit this hole with the oil can, its not ment to be...

[volvo242]

decided not to gamble on the oil tank i made earlyer, if it fails to get the air out of the oil it bad news for my engine. so we made a new one from scratch yesterday

[volvo242]

figured its better looking mate black then discolored alu.. so i painted the pipes



made center rings for the rotors, and drilled the correct bolt pattern!



i also finaly got my hands on a th400 driveshaft! so i cut of the pice i needed of both driveshafts. then made a liner that fitts inside both pipes (not the same diameter) and welded them together. if its balanced enough or not, time will tell.. ;P
