'95 960 goes T5

Update!
Car does sound like this...


The car was doing fine lately. Took it to the local annual Volvo meeting, 80% of the people didn't even realise what it was. One dude assumed the VEMS was a DVD player and went looking for a LCD screen..

So I did this:

THE END

Not really...
960 goes to a new owner with a spare T6, and gets some new fancy stuff... right Slevin? ;-)


And this is where the T5&m90 going next:

The 945 T5.


I want to make this car a lot more organized than the 960 ever was. I want it to be a DD and I want to trust it...
...So I sold the VEMS.
I was sick and tired of the coldstart issues on e85. On regular gas it was a bit better, but it left me stranded so many times.
I bought the Motronic 4.4 COP conversion pack (it is just a bin file and a "manual" to what to do with the ECU) from Aaron (tightmopedman9). I'll do the Ostrich conversion later.
The front facing custom intake has to go as well. That gave me to many problems, too. Went through about 6 machine shops to get mating surface flat, but it never happened. I got incredibly high qoutes for the job so I decided to do it manually... imagine how flat that was........
Not to mention that this intake manifold wasn't engineered in any way. It was copied from a SR20Det manifold. Powerband shifted a bit.

Current specs are:
- '94 2.3 T5
- '93 NA Cams
- Motronic 4.4 converted for coil on plug.
- 4.4 harness
- Green (440cc) injectors
- td04-18T turbo
- M90 with welded stop ring. LINK
- SM flywheel, resurfaced 850 disk, stock t5 PP.

Pics!

Disassembling the M90:

That is a rather worn 3rd gear You see there

Unforetunately this transmission is really tired :( The 940 came with a m90h2, which is in a really great shape, but I sold it already.

In the beginning I wasn't sure what kind of EMS I'm going run. First bet was the 4.3 Motro with front mount distributor. But it is ugly and rather sketchy, so I never got further than this:

Bye bye b200ft

I tore down the whole front-end to clean it up a bit. 17 years + 400.000kms worth of oil, dirt everywhere.

Sunday evening clean-up

It is not showroom clean, but You can see the difference. I run out of patience to be honest..

And I have to pull it out (yeah, that's what she said, I know), because I left out a go******n fu**ing piece of s**t bearing. Fu*k me. I was so mad when I found out this "little" mistake...

It took less the 2 hours to pull the engine, disassemble the tranny and refit everything. I made a timelapse, too. Youtube upload is in progress.

This is where I'm at now.
I still need to install the ancillaries, some plumbing, wiring and refit everything. And it is done. :roll:

It is done!
Almost.
It fired up, runs around happily. I only need to make the loom tidy and solve some air leaks.
Pictures to follow...
