so a little update!

we have started mapping the engine on the dyno! but this was not all problem free ofcourse ;P

it started with the dry sump tank throwing oil out of the air vent at 4000+ rpm.. so i had to make a new insert! lucky i have a top lid almost as big as the tank is!
so all i had to do was to make a new insert, weld it up to the old lid and drop it into the tank

this is it, the pice to the left is put inside the pipe on the right, witch is then lowerd into the tank


once this was done the tank works perfect! not a drop of oil out of the airvent!

then we hit the next problem.. one of the controller cards in the dyno computer is broken! so it refuses to read WCF and boost pressure.. and as it got worse over a few pulls started getting an error at a little over 5000 rpm. so we had to give up :/

new cards is orderd, but delivery time + christmas etc = no more dyno before january!


the numbers we got before it gave in..
17-18 psi at 3000 rpm = 500nm @ the wheels!

thats to much pressure for a unmapped engine so we got the boost stable at 13-14 psi after that and he went on doing his thing..

this is a pic of one of the last pulls before the dyno gave up, as i said, it didnt want to go above 5300 rpm!

Turbo pressure set at about 13-14 psi.. the pull before this lasted a bit longer and gave 585 nm @ wheels


The dyno guy is very impressed so far! he say every time he has a good built volvo 16v hes amazed of how much power they give at low pressure! and insane tourqe! he is also impressed by the VE of 120%

i cant wait to double the pressure and take it up 3000-3500 rpm more in january

Ja rektig! ja det kan jeg vel igrunn si meg enig i når du påpeker det! :p Men få ut no bilder/video av den! da veit jeg hva jeg skal se etter på rudskogen! for denne her var meget gjennomført! Får se om jeg kommer putrande bortover dit i passelat, golf eller 242 :p drømmen er stanca 242 med bbs rs og rulla hjulbuer! så vi får se! og forresten hvor mange hk/Nm havna du på tilslutt?

Heisann, må bare si at dette er noe av det sykeste jeg har sett! Men hadde jo faktisk vært enda råere med de runde lyktene! Men det er den ENESTE jeg kan si noe på! Men det er jo smak og behag.. men fyyy faen! Hvor blir du og se framover? mtp. treff osv.. og hvor bor du? MÅÅ!!!! se dette beistet engang!

jeg vurderte rundlyktene, men jeg synes de passer bedre med mer originalt stuk, denne trenger brede lykter får å knytes godt sammen med bredden på bilen. og så er visstnok luftmotstanden betraktelig lavere med denne fronten ;P

bilen blir vel å se på div treff til sommeren, ACR, våler og rudskogen håper jeg!

jeg bor i trondheim


But guessing english is more proper on an worldwide forum
