    Lol the Volvo is a beast! I turbo'd it last fall with all junkyard parts for about $500, been running about 15psi on the original 350k mile engine ever since. Rwd + turbo + 5 speed + no ****s given = the perfect daily.

    The Volvo is a b230f, which is a redblock. 2.3, sohc, non interference. I converted it to jetronic lh2.4 and used fuel/spark computers from a 940 turbo. Lh2.4 is super adaptable and reliable. Megasqirt would have been nice but too much time/money for a daily. Turbo is a mitsu tdo4hl-16t.

    Steering rack bushings are from a dude named Josh Meyers on facebook. He makes them for Cavaliers I think but they fit my rack perfectly.

    I've been lucky to be able to get a lot of work done over the weekend and today. Decided to clean up the casting marks and such in the heads as I'm aiming to run a 3.0 pulley this year. I talked to a local engine builder and he gave me a lot of good tips on what to do, and I read the write up on here and went off of those two sources. I showed the engine builder the head after and he said I did a good job, so I'm hoping they do well. I did my best not to open anything up too much but just get rid of some of the hindrances.

    Modded Lim for phenolic IC, Typhoon IAT:


    Exhaust port:


    Left the intake rough but took down the casting marks and blended the valve seat area:


    Opened up the exhaust runners a bit and smoothed it out:


    Painted them up.




    So because of the valve float I had last year, I'm doing ls7 lifters, double roller, and 140lb springs. Glad I decided to do this because when I popped off the timing cover quite a bit of the chain dampener was missing and it was worn badly. This happened on an xp cam with 105lb valve springs in about 4000 miles, maybe less. I do not reccomend this setup! I pulled the oil pan off and was able to find the rest of the chewed up bits in the bottom. I hope everything's okay, can't find any visual defects with anything anywhere else and the way its worn leads me to believe it chipped off pretty early in its life.

    don't most people running an XP cam use a double roller? Or think it was from the springs that chewed up the tensioner that bad?

    From what I've read, 105's are enough for an xp cam and a double roller is not necessary until you step past 105s. I've found both of these pieces of information not to be true.

    I was having some issues with the tune last year where it would almost stall out when I depressed the clutch coming to a stop. I think these low rpm dips were probably hell on the tensioner and chain.

    What chain did you use? I pulled my dampener after 30K and it was barely worn on 130# stock chain.

    I may be able to spill the beans on my input shaft seal fix, but not until its tested.

    From what I had read at the time, cloyes was supposed to be a high quality manufacturer of timing components.


    Was lucky enough to be able to bring the car up to where I have to engine. Its so nice to have room to walk around it and work on it. Going to be much more productive now.

    Ferrrd Fteenthousand working hard to tow the pig up Vickerman Hill:


    140# springs installed, heads torqued down, everything painted (except for the LIM, its getting powder):


    Moar bondo:


    Addco 22mm rear sway installed:


    Unboxing of goodies:


    Crank gear chamfered to match the stock one:



    Cam gear machined so that both gears are aligned:


    Finding true TDC and degreeing the cam:


    Finishing up the rear brakes later today:


    Quad tails installed but not wired:



    That's all for now. More soon.
