Ok lets get a bit left of centre for a moment.... Have a look at this video.

PS. you can download a hi-res version from the website listed at the end...

Now...

IMHO, brilliant idea. This thing is pushing 500 odd kw and yet externally it looks like your typical stock-as-a-rock-dropping-the-kids-off-at-soccer-practice volvo. The perfect sleeper.

I'd love to hear some feedback from the forum re: how hard it would REALLY be to shoehorn a RB26dett or 1JZ or something into a similar 7 series volvo. These cars cost squillions brand new, drive brilliantly and have all the fruit comfort-wise and can be bought for a steal these days. Between 3-7k.

I'm doing my homework, and if I can feasibly engineer and register it for less than 15k I'm gunna build it.

Whaddayathink?

Did deffinetly not think that that video would end up here!

The 740 TIC is a very popular car to tune, and VERY cheap to buy (atleast here in sweden :whistling: )

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
