I took the volvo out last nite to go to the shops and as bad luck would have it my secondaries (the big barrels on the carb) decided to clog up just before a white R33 tried to have a go with me. I might as well have raced a datsun 120Y I still would have lost, the car was coughing and spluttering so much. Up till then that evening it was running mint.

I'll have to wait to fix the secondaries as the wife doesn't want me taking the car off the road for a while.

Cam,

the secondaries are probably clogged, I recently rebuilt the carb with a kit and sometimes little bits of casket sealant can fall into the needle holes, should be easy to clean. The other problem is the vacume diaphram opener is stuffed so you have to 'feed' the throttle or it bogs down (not a big problem for me tho').

BOV wise , I can call past after work on the way home or this evening after dinner?

    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.
