Project Manual
Posts
Post 273290 by Jamest5r on 2009-12-07 16:50:56
Right then.....after wanting a manual for a while now, but with my t5r having200,000 on the clock it's not worth selling it(would never get what i wanted for it!!). So after some thought ive decided to go the whole hog and take the engine and box(whole front sub-frame)out of mine and replace with a donor.
Found a donor at Nads an ex Tim Williams car, have been in contact and it's a top engine 97k stems and pcv done and reverse i/c(for sale as i have already).
So next weekend im going to start on dropping the sub-frame ready for the transplant.
To be honest im crapping it a bit as this will be the biggest project ive done, but with the help of Smithy(he convinced me it's all going to be fine!!!!) hopefully i'll have the car i want in the new year.
Will get some photo's up at the weekend as progress starts in Nads cave.
And before anyone else(Cameron) says it, yes it's so i can beat the Mrs over a 1/4 mile when it's finished!

the ports are a different shape on the ME7 inlet, you'll need a couple ME7 head
to fit a throttle body onto my ME7 manifold i'm going to get a small 3" tube with a flange the same shape as the ETM one end, & the throttle body flange on the other

Has the M59 got the external viscous clutch on it, attached to the driveshaft? I keep trying to find pics, but pics of an M59 box are rare.
Post 281230 by Tomcat on 2010-01-12 19:58:39
If the Viscous clutch is external then whats to stop you bolting it onto another gearbox?.

[quote=Tomcat;281230]If the Viscous clutch is external then whats to stop you bolting it onto another gearbox?.[/quote]
You need the seperate output shaft like on the AWD M58. I was just wondering whether the M59 is an M58 with different ratios.

Like in this thread
http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=25140
You can see the splined output shaft. Theres not much info, but as far as I can tell, the M59 had an external viscous clutch which was attached to the O/S driveshaft and would lock up when the wheel started to spin
In fact,T5TEZ has answered my question in his thread. You can see the viscous unit in the pic on the ebay page

Gear stick and linkage in
Sub frame out with no damage to wiring loom (hooray)
The usual few nuts and bolts held us up a bit but tommorrow just got to drop the car back on its new sub frame and plug everything in!!!
Many thanks again to Smithy for your help.
Good to see P Fandango and Bomb192 thanks for your words of wisdom.

After a sh*t start to the day, Smithy picked me up at 6:30 so we could take a good go at finishing today, got to Nads at 7 as he had given me the keys to open up(good man) however some git had locked the outer gate to the estate so had to sit around for an hour and a half!!
Anyway dont want to bore anyone but its just about done everythings in and when i turn the key it starts can't ask for anymore. Just the little bits like bleeding the clutch, heatshield back on and general tidying up of the bay.
Cheers for all your comments lads.
Hope to drive out in my manual on monday after driving in with an auto on friday(commitments tommorrow no car work allowed)
Sorry no pics too busy effing and jeffing

First things first, many thanks to Smithy a true real life Yoda:saint: who without his help this project would of taken me six months not 6 days, cheers mate, also a big thank-you to Nads for letting us have the use of his cave and facilities(sorry about the mess!).
So as per title and having spent 3 days getting the sub-frame out of the donor and building it up ready to go in mine and then 3 days swapping it into mine i drove a manual out off Nads:wiggle: very strange experience. Only one slight problem was noticed while it was up on a ramp getting the tracking done bloody gearbox seal leaking where the drive shaft enters but only on one side so another job to do but if that's the only problem im well happy:D
I GOT A T5R MANUAL:wave23d:

Tell me about it - hitting the rev limiter, or my favourite which was stalling as you pull to a stop and forget there's a clutch you have to press now :-)
I think it's made even more weird by the fact it's the same car that was an auto - I don't stall my missus' car 'cos I remember that's a manual...
Oh well, doesn't take too long to get used to it.
Enjoy, Pete

Well this afternoon was the test of the conversion and to be honest with you all i was sh1ting it, would the engine hold?, was the turbo any good?,...well yes it all stayed in on piece no smoke at all, apart from my 15yr old rad which decided to develop a hairline crack so going to replace it, and a small oil leak at the end but nothing major by the looks of it(oil rtn seal).
So the peformance.... it's over fueling in the mid range which can be adjusted(going back week sat) and im going to get the boost up'ed a touch.
Fly...288.74
Wheel...264.67
Well happy with the smooth power and constant all the way to 6200 with no let off.

Hi Duane, using a piper x panal filter with miltec cat back 2.5" with standard d/p no cat straight through, no money left for a race cat but will put a 100 cell in when funds allow me, it was over fuelling badly in the mid-range and thats on orange's refurbed by Jimithan, so going to get the fuelling toned down a bit and the boost upped a little(1.3 bar) and give it another go week sat.

Power and torque figures look good but the WHP figure seems a bit optomistic.....It equates to less than a 10% transmission loss??

Not to worry, At a guess id say you should see about 15% maybe a little bit more transmission loss on a FWD.
Aslong as your hapy with it all thats the main thing, You have done well with the conversion and its something i considered doing when i was looking for an 850R manual but couldnt find one.....Buying an auto and converting it.
I wimped out and bought an S70 instead lol.
How are you finding the M59? I have one fitted to my car and must say although its not as good as a quaife LSD its certainly a massive improvement over an M56!

So what do you think then???
How much loss as a percentage would you say is a typical amount on a FWD car?
Post 292675 by Wobbly Dave on 2010-02-28 21:54:07
one based on the graph above?
Post 292678 by bonelorry on 2010-02-28 21:58:22
[quote=Wobbly Dave;292675]one based on the graph above?[/quote]
No as we both know there is no way on earth the M59 box is that efficient.....Not unless its got a straight cut gear set fitted.
Going on that graph there is only about a 6% to 7% transmission loss from the flywheel to the wheels its just not possible.
Taken from good old Wikipedia....
Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engine's horsepower without the loss in power caused by the gearbox, alternator, differential, water pump, and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump, muffled exhaust system, etc. Brake refers to a device which was used to load an engine and hold it at a desired RPM. During testing, the output torque and rotational speed were measured to determine the brake horsepower. Horsepower was originally measured and calculated by use of the indicator (a James Watt invention of the late 18th century), and later by means of a De Prony brake connected to the engine's output shaft. More recently, an engine dynamometer is used instead of a De Prony brake. The output delivered to the driving wheels is less than that obtainable at the engine's crankshaft
wheel horsepower (whp) are the brake horsepower converted to useful work. In the case of a road vehicle this is the power actually turned into forward motion as measured on a chassis dynamometer. Power available at the road is generally 10% to 20% less than the engine's actual bhp crankshaft rating due to vehicle related parasitic losses, much of which is due to the vehicle's rubber tires rather than true transmission losses
Obviously RWD and 4WD losses are greater for obvious reasons such as differentials and transfer boxes etc etc But then you already know that.
My guess of 15% wasnt that far out.
Post 292693 by Wobbly Dave on 2010-02-28 22:12:41
But you're just throwing out aspertions based on Wiki facts and a hunch - when the graph quite clearly shows good efficients results for James' efforts.

Hi Dave, about the same bhp but better torque overall so nicer to drive...that's what's it all about.
As for the discussion above all rollers/graphs are subjective but if i use the same one all the time i know where i stand, i know its just numbers but its all a laugh at the end of the day, i could of got 300bhp but the car would'nt of been as good to drive through the power range, its the torque for me not the end bhp or whp:wavey:

Nice job that. I'd consider doing the auto-manual conversion on my 850R if/when my autobox dies, but I must admit to being VERY apprehensive about it. It'd be very easy to let costs spiral out of control.

Well after having 6 weeks of fun in my car ive killed it:mad: i guess this is the chance you take with a 2nd hand engine and pushing it to the limit, piston rings failing and build crank pressure and blue smoke out the back. So the bitch is out and being rebuilt next week with new pistons and rings so at least when it goes back in it will be sorted. Some pics for you.... you can see the burn on top of cylinders 1 and 5 and Smithy lurking in the background lol cheers for your help once again your beer tokens are piling up.
Also anyone know where to get pistons and rings Rufe wants £385:frown: going to be bloody expensive week or two.

I will let you know what i think once i have an engine to bolt it too lol, it needed to be bored out by 0.5mm but volvo only do oversize pistons in 0.2 and 0.4 so i need to sourse 0.5 oversize pistons for a 5234t engine and ideas mate?? cost is an issue lol.

Post 309280 by Jamest5r on 2010-05-17 18:21:36
Quick update of my woes, replaced engine and turbo and the 16t was smoking, so it was replaced it with another second hand one i had lying around(by Smithy as i was working)...this also smokes....by luck i managed to sourse an 18t which has been sent off for refurbing so hopefully back friday learnt my lesson trying cheap 2nd hand parts or maybe i was just unlucky lol.
Also fitted fmic and 3" t/b with pipework by Smithy cheers mate.
But got a couple of problems, my fan will not kick in for some reason did not disconect anything when i fitted fmic but it is a different engine lol.
Car will only start when it feels like it, totally random getting fuel pressure and changed the relay's on top of the rad, but sometimes there is spark from coil and sometime's not changed this for the one from the mrs car and same.
All ideas/suggestions most welcomed.

Finally got around to fitting my boost and oil temp gauge's, but thats as far as my technical know how goes on this subject so need some help on how to get the wires etc to the relevant places, by this i mean just from behind the vents can sort the rest out once i get the wires to the footwell.
Cheers
Post 315135 by p fandango on 2010-06-14 18:46:51
looks good, i prefer it when all the gauges are from the same range & match each other. I think the best thing to do is take the dash top off, drill a small hole into the vent pipes to get the wires thru then feed them down to the underdash panels, should be able to find a space thru with the top off

very nice mate sounds a nice set-up, you got anything else in the pipelines?
is the actuator your using your original 15g one or is it a 18t one on it?
don't take offence mate just thinking out loud, but the one thing that puts me off aftermarket FMIC's is how long the pipes are to it. I'm torn between whether a better/more efficient intercooler with long pipes is better than the factory IC with short pipes. Be interesting to see how yours goes mate

is the actuator your using your original 15g one or is it a 18t one on it?
don't take offence mate just thinking out loud, but the one thing that puts me off aftermarket FMIC's is how long the pipes are to it. I'm torn between whether a better/more efficient intercooler with long pipes is better than the factory IC with short pipes. Be interesting to see how yours goes mate
PS don't forget to plumb your catchtank back in lol :wink:[/quote]
16t., going to set it about 7psi should give me about 1.3bar, no money left for a new one.
Fmic i got for free so i thought it was worth a bash.
Catch tank was one of my nightmare's mate, it could not cope with the pressure and was backing the fumes back into the engine which i highly suspect was causing alot of the smoking issues, i know this because i fitted a new engine that i know doesnt smoke and a refurbed turbo and then it started to smoke on idle when warm so that was the only thing left...disconnected the pipe and just venting to air and guess what no smoke!! still get a bit every now and then but i suspect the pipe is full of crap but im having a break from engine work for a few weeks lol.

can't say no when its free really can you lol, as i say i'd be interested to see how it works out

hmm that is weird. I still haven't finished BT's PCV bypass but i wonder if that'd help by removing some of the restriction
Post 315172 by Jamest5r on 2010-06-14 20:08:28
Thats why i was taking a keen interest in what you were planning, i think a direct flow system from the block has to be the way forward, hows yours coming on have you got all the parts and costs yet?.

i'd forgot all about tbh mate lol. Just need to order 3metres of 15mm (or was it 18mm) pipe then i've got everything, the price of silicone pipe is just silly tho so keep putting it off. Some of the bits i could only buy in pairs so got the T-piece & sump bung for you if you want them mate

Yes please mate, will pay you for them, and chance off the diagram you did of that system?
Its 15mm standard but 18mm might be better if it fits over the connecters?

i'll hunt the diagram out, i've had a clear out of the hard-drive & deleted aload of pics but sure i've kept that (4gb of Volvo related pics was a bit excessive lol). They only cost me a couple of quid & taking up space on the computer desk so can have them mate
Its 15mm standard but 18mm might be better if it fits over the connecters?
got a feeling it was 18mm, sure i got a 22-18mm reducer (i'll get the tape measure out just to make sure lol)

Thought i would drag my old thread into the present day lol.
As some of you will know i had some good fun over the summer with the 850 running a £250 replacement engine, but as always the addiction for more power has been stirred. However with a wedding and honeymoon to pay for my pocket has taken a large hit lol and as much as i would of liked to have spent £2k on rods/pistons and a basically new engine rebuild the Mrs to be did'nt fancy a weekend in blackpool as a honeymoon, so im only left with a small budget. I already have a head done so ive got a 2nd hand block(88k) from t5pete and just bought a set of rods from Don, get it put back together bolt on the t35 nick the 3" system from the v70 and see what happens.
Will keep you updated
Cheers

Certainly sounds better on the wallet than the other plans you mensioned mate.
Shouldn't be too long for you now then to get it all finished and bolted in as it were.
I look forward to seeing the progress.
Out of interest what are you doing with the current engine? I may be after another for a long term rebuild.

Post 353465 by Jamest5r on 2011-01-05 20:01:29
Got the rods from Don at Kalmar this morning, using the standard pistons just got to keep it under 400bhp, everything else i have i think.
Post 353471 by Volvostorm on 2011-01-05 20:14:58

400 is the target for mine too, though I could probably go higher.
Post 353483 by leet5r on 2011-01-05 20:57:17

Post 353485 by Jamest5r on 2011-01-05 21:02:26
380 for the rods, bolts and postage, rsi and sten are over a grand for matching set which is why im staying with standard pistons

Looking the absolute business James, give it a weekends work and you'll be up and running. I really hope the cost and effort works out and provides a decent end product. At least if nothing else the T5R will live for another 15 years and 200k!

Just a quick update.....it's all done bar a section of pipe from the bottom of the IC upwards and then i can try and start it tomorrow :) will need the T/B to IC and turbo to IC pipe's properly fabricated as its got too many joins in it to ever hope holding 1.7 bar but i can put a few miles on it in the mean time off boost to see how it goes for the shake down.

Sorry no pics as been too busy filling the swear jar, got a leak from one of the water feeds to the turbo so that's got to be changed and it wont start by turning the key a throw back to the manual conversion it will fire straight up if you cross a wire from the starter to the battery so might just get a button starter and do it that way but waiting for my auto elec mate to have a look as he done the original work on the conversion but not too bothered if thats the only problems there is after the amount of work thats been done.
Just got to stick a few miles on it change the oil and filter the get it mapped.

I am Running a Rica map as a temporary one for now till I get a Custom MTE to suit all my mods

Unfortunatley so Liam. I got just outside Peterborough and the car began to smoke. The main coolant pipe to the turbo had split and all coolant was lost, long story short, warped head, blown cylinder head gasket, loss of compression and a long recovery stint home.

Yeah plenty of fuel.
[quote=leet5r;406489]are all the relays plugs in ontop of the rad m8[/quote]
Yep.
This effing car always throw's an electricl fault everytime the block's been in and out and they are bloody hard to trace, last time it was a loose realy up under the steering wheel, time before that it was the crank sendor plug connection but on the loom side so no matter how many different sensor's i tried they did'nt work cut the plug off the loom and connected a different one and fired 1st time, these faults were solved by a very talented auto elec mate of mine not me lol but the gits abroad somewhere at the moment.
Post 409448 by Jamest5r on 2011-09-11 16:17:14
A quick update, still waiting for my auto elec mate and a code reader to appear so i thought i would have another play and see if anything come's up, changed the crank sensor for another one i had lying around(4th one ive tried)but still nothing, so shut the garage door and on my way out lent through the window just for one last try and left it cranking for about 10secs and the bitch fired up, i nearly sh1t myself with shock lol, left it running for about a min they shut if off and had a quick check around the bay and under and all looked good so went to start it again and no start..bitch, left it a while crankrd again and it fired after about 10secs of cranking again??? left it running for a while and all seems good a bit noisey but it is a new engine so i hope everything quieten's down.
Wont start again now so could i really have 4 duff crank sensor's?
Post 409463 by JelT5 on 2011-09-11 17:05:04
Oh that sounds more positive mate. Glad she's fired up and run now! If they were all 2nd hand crank sensors then it's quite possible they were all shagged...

Very interesting that James, out of interest have you removed the HT lead and looked for a spark again, Im wondering if there is a "delayed" spark somehow?
Post 409722 by Jamest5r on 2011-09-12 19:27:29
Well i bit the bullet and forked out £30 for a new crank sensor.....still the same, starts when the fcuking bitch feels like it, twice out of 20 tries left it running for 10mins on one of the starts then gave up, seriously considering dropping the whole front end into the saffy might be quicker :)
Edit got 4 crank sensor's for sale lol.
Post 409726 by claymore on 2011-09-12 19:32:20
Did I read somewhere about cranking it over with full throttle (even if it takes a couple of minutes) but not to keep trying as the fuel just washes the boores.
Edit: Mine would sometimes not start untill it had built up fuel pressure
Post 409742 by Alan M on 2011-09-12 20:26:26
Have you made sure the Crank sensor is picking up the flywheel properly? It could be a case of positioning as this was a manual conversion so maybe something isn't lined up correctly. Take the sensor out and make sure its picking up/above its ring in the correct position. You can crank the car and check to see if the reading fluctuates with a meter connected to the sensor pins to see if it is working for a quick test. Also a silly question but if it ran rough when started the once is the cam sensor plate fitted in the correct plane and not 180 degrees out? I have done this and caused problems when rushing in the dark one build many moons ago. Check all earth straps to the block from the frame are clean and tight with some copper slip just to help with contact. See how you go with those checks then come back and some more ideas can be thrown in.

Maybe it's just a case of having dry hydraulic tappets, the engine has been dry for sometime, and the valve clearances aren't quite right atm? Would also explain the engine noise, perhaps next time you run it you should take it for a drive, if you can, if not give it some gentle revs to see about bleeding the tappets though. Just a thought.. Great news that your finally getting it running, if not quite as reliably as you'd like it's still a good step in the right direction :)

Thanks for asking but it's not moved forward, need someone clever'er than me to work out why it wont start so it's a very expensive ornament at the moment which i have just had to tax today as well.

Well i thought i had better try and sort this bitch out as ive had no luck in getting my auto-elec "mate" to come over so i got a code reader of Chad(thanks mate) and what i got was 314 cam sensor and 214 rpm signal sensor (guessing that's crank sensor) so £110 lighter for 2 brand new one's and bloody nothing and still getting the same 2 fault codes up, bollox!!!
Could the ecu failed?? any idea's pls lads before i burn the effing bitch.
Cheers

So you've got crank and cam sensor fault codes stored? Which ECU has the car currently got fitted to it? If you've got a manual ECU in it might be worth switching to the auto ecu just to test. Does the fuel pump prime when you switch the ignition on? Do you get a spark and are the injectors injecting fuel when your cranking then engine over?
Post 419987 by Jamest5r on 2011-10-29 19:52:45
Hi Andy, the ecu is from another t5r and it ran perfectly in mine before this last engine drop.
Fuel pump primes with good pressure.
No spark but defo pumping fuel as it stinks after a while lol.

Have you got another ECU you can just "try" to ellimate it from the runnings.?
Also is there no spark right from the coil? Has the coil got power and earth supplies?

Have you checked all your fuses, I am sure you have thought it's worth checking, no.1 fuse which should be a 15amp fuse is a fuse for the automatic transmission it is also a fuse for the ignition system. Maybe your electrical guy blew the fuse when doing the wiring reworkings? The fact you have an absent signal from both the cam and crank sensors suggests a common factor like poor connection etc etc...
Post 419997 by AndysR on 2011-10-29 20:19:01
Another thing worth mentioning is when the battery voltage on mine gets low, usually when I leave it for a while and not use it, the engine will crank and not fire I know it's getting fuel but not a spark, when it does this I have to take it off and charge it for about an hour. I trust the battery is in a good state of charge at the moment.

[quote=jamest5r;420004]

Excellent.
Right the fault codes you mentioned, according the Paynes, suggest that the signal from both sensors is intermitant therefore suggesting it's getting some form of signal although intermitantly. Are the sensors connected correctly to the right multiplugs? Is the engine timed up correctly?
Post 420025 by Jamest5r on 2011-10-29 20:52:55
Sensor's connected properly yes, timing i dont know about but it's something Smithy mentioned the other day as well but as it had just been rebuit by a proffesional i would of thought it was right but who know's lol i will check it, but it did start a couple of times 2mins apart last month and ran rough would it still start with the timing out?

It can still start with the timing out yes, provided it's not too far out, and the fact that it ran rough could be an indication of that... Something to check tomorrow I'd say, would answer the riddle as to why your getting fault codes for intermitant readings on both sensors.

Jesus christ James!!!
What on earth are you going to have to do to get that old girl running?
Have you replaced the starter motor itself?
I am going to suggest something that you probably wont like but I think without professional help its almost at this stage... you need to take the engine out again and fit a known working unit. I think its the only way to prove that the electrics are good on the car and that way you can safely assume that somewhere along the line there is an issue with the engine after re-build.

You are probably gonna say they are new, but if these plugs that are in the engine now have been flooded, might only have been once, get um changed, i have read numerous times that plugs which get flooded are junk... I know you might say its bo22ocks, i am slightly sceptical about it too, they probably have very fine cracks and are earthing out...

Rick the turbo is a one off designed by smithy and turbo technics to fit his v70 a couple of years ago to be a direct fit but new oil return pipes and feeds had to be made.

Thought it about time for an update... had a couple of minor problems at the start the worst being some oil seepage through 2 of the bolts on the cam cover so tapped them out to 8mm and it seems to of solved it :)
Started today on 180miles and after a 5 hour trip to Exeter with Smithy to pick up some new rims for him i now have 494miles on the clock and the car ran faultless all the way, coming out of a 40mph section of roadworks i put my foot down just a touch from 2000rpm to 2600rpm and i mean a gental squeese and it hit 8psi ffs its going to be a monster lol :)

Post 459268 by Jamest5r on 2012-02-04 20:43:39
Well the 1st 600 miles went well including a 300mile round trip to Exeter with Smithy but noticed some oil spots the other day so thought i should investigate......manage to blag a ramp in a garage for the day on the estate where the Mrs works for a few readies :)
So dropped the oil and changed and cleaned everything up run the engine and worst fears as always nothing bloody easy it was the crank seal on the timing side this has only been in for 600miles!!! but saying that the RMS failed on start-up a few months back and both these items where from Volvo main stealers.
Ok so busy day ahead got new seal fron Euro so job on.....what a effing bitch to get to it, aux belt off, timing belt off, bastward pully to get off etc etc swear jar filled to the max, seal out and Euro had supplied the wrong one Ahhhhhhhhhh, not a happy man at this point and its 3 in the afternoon and snowing so go back and they aint got the right one till monday so across town in the snow to try and make GSF before 4 and i do and they have one, useful the Mrs owning a V70 t5 when your stuck:)
All back together by six and no leaks so all good, Mrs finished work so left together as the snow was quite bad had, gone about a mile and was doing about 20mph on the A34 when the oil light flashed at me then stayed on a split second later, flicked it off and coasted into the bus stop.....at this time i was sh1ting myself opened the bonnet and the bottom oil cooler pipe had come off and emptied 5L in less than 6 sec's, clip was cracked must have disturbed it in my fight with the pulley wheel lol.
By fate the Mrs had 5L of oil in the car(waiting for me to service lol) so bodged the clip with a couple of cable ties and it held no probs for the next 3miles home.
Volvo's.........i love em but some day's i want to burn the Bitch she's really fcuking pushing me lol.

I had the same problem afew years back, was on my way to Cannock and the oil light came on, bottom pipe was off and oil everywhere. Fortunately there was a petrol station in sight so I crawled onto the forecourt, went in the shop and grabbed a jubilee clip and a tub of oil and repaired the clip and all was well again.

Those Oil cooler pipes clips do cause more trouble than their worth!!!
Volvo charge for 4 hours labour to fit them as they like to drop the engine out partially, to fit them properly so they don't come out under pressure!
It can be done by removing the drivers wheel and pulling back the plastic wheel arch cover, but Volvo Technical department claim they will fail if fitted that way?
Glad you where taking it easy at the time and got away with it mate!
I know of some one who was not so lucky, but then again neither was the garage who bodged the job either!!

It was a good job he was not working the Engine hard or what can happen is the remaining oil becomes viscous and creates massive temperatures and pressures, and there for the oil light will not come on!
Lets not forget in out engines they are an oil pressure switch not an oil level!

Made by Rad-Tec in Cannock and not cheap lol, £150 for the pair but when you add the cost of the alloy up alone it aint bad really and im well happy with the job, you cant really see in the pics but the bottom pipe is flaired to 3" to mate the throttle body at the top end and its those little details i dont mind paying for.

[quote=smithy;482692]im drove james car tonight it is only boosting 13 psi on satandard map but take it from me it was nice to drive a turbo car again.and the pull of that turbo is very good and very smooth and relentless it just dont run out of puff.i cannot wait till its fully mapped up and running 1.6 bar it will be an animal mate.weldone on the car that you have built it was worth all the grazed nuckels and bllod and sweat .and thanks for letting me drive the beast mate.[/quote]

As normal it's taking it's time as Hamish is fitting it in as and when he can(cheaper that way lol:)), as of yesterday 280bhp at 0.8bar just being safe in the build up of boost over the next couple of days as most is new in there will tell all when finished.

Not quite sure to be honest mate but im going to keep it lowish for the mo about 1.4ish and run it for another 1000miles or so just to make sure i dont break anything lol, yes its forged but at the end of the day its still a t5 block and i dont want to be the one to find the breaking point lol, not really bothered about the figs to be honest just want it to be able to get the power down, ive seen 400 & 500 bhp volvo's on the 1/4mile and not been impressed :)

I agree entirely, its all about driveability.... it would be nice to have more power than smithy though eh?
I think 1.4 is about right. The great thing is if you still have the electronic boost controller that you can map it for high boost say 1.6 for example then turn it down to whatever you like for everyday driving, safe in the knowledge your fueling is spot on.

Well there was some promise till my clutch(R) decided not to play ball anymore, 328bhp/435nm@1.2bar!! so plenty left to go got to get the box off now and have a look whats going on.
Graph below is one of the last runs and the big dip is Hamish coming off the power as slipping and feeding back in just posting so you can get an idea.
Could do without the clutch problem as im skint lol this was supposed to be the end of the project and yet again the bitch sucks more out of me lol.
Clutch suggestions welcomed :)

It was the clutch i bought when i done the conversion(see thread lol) but it's probably got less than 4k on it if that and looked perfect when last fitted but i will have to pull the box and have a look, maybe a leak from somewhere spraying??.
Post 500249 by The Flying Moose on 2012-05-18 20:06:35
Bloody hell mate!!!
I guess you were the one who was to find out the limits to the 850R clutch!
Perhaps you need one of these:
Not by any means cheap but a stage 3 paddle clutch should do the job, I'd have a word with Steve (Blackbeast) and ask about his clutch, after all he is running circa 450bhp and over 600nm torque.

[quote=Jamest5r;500270]How are they for daily driving?[/quote]
They can be a little "On" or "Off".
That said I know a few running them, I guess the best thing to do is try a car with a paddle clutch.
To be honest I think there are little in the way of conventional clutches that in the long term will handle the power. Personally I wouldnt want to replace the clutch every 5-10k miles because they keep wearing out.

looking at your graph mate your turbo comes in very hard i bet it will be a hoot to drive even at 1.2 bar .i think if you drive the car for abit to see if the clutch cleans up first.if its still slipping then we will rip the gearbox off and see if you have a contaminated clutch if not then a 6 pad clutch would be my choose.but i know that the r clutch can take 500nm torque .
Post 500639 by Jamest5r on 2012-05-19 19:25:19
Firstly thanks to Hamish for his hard work,....Well,collected the car today and to be honest the clutch aint that bad at all, yes it did slip a bit at 3500rpm in 4th if you floor it but im not going to be in that postion often lol, so i thought i would see what it could take in 2nd and 3rd so the unos went on and the boost went up(cheers for the loan Smithy) and no slippage at all in those gears and f*uck me does it shift :)

It's the turbo that has killed the clutch it's very agressive when it hits boost and it hits boost hard .and the car is running 1.4 bar solid so the turbo is only running 60percent on its capable boost too.

Had a few chat's with said man over the last few week's :) he's running a 4 paddle, but to be honest mine dont really slip unless your violent with it ie slam it to the floor at 3000rpm which just spins the whels even in 4th so driving to get traction it dont slip, ill see how it goes on the 1/4 and make my choice then.....time will tell :)

Well the Olive bitch is still being a bitch, everyday when i start it it starts no problem everytime, however sometimes it just wont start leave it for a while 3-10 mins and it starts, also the engine cranks for a long time before starting???? EVERYTHING lol has been changed on this car so just throwing it out there for any suggestions you never know, and no it does'nt need anymore curly wurly's :)
Good news though is when it runs it's spot on im loving it :):):)

As some of you might know my Bitch has a few problems starting.............IT'S FIXED :):):):):):)
The seed was sown yesterday whilst looking in Dean's(Woody) engine bay, one of the few times i wasn't seeing it's §§§§ disappear in front of me lol, was sitting at home tonight having a cold beer in the sunshine when i thought might as well have a browse under the hood and remembered Dean wasn't running an icv so un-pluged mine and guess what fired up perfect, must of started it 25 times over the last 2hrs and started everytime :) God the work ive put into this bitch and all i had to do was un-plug the connection to the icv....1sec work AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Still smiling and the car is showing a lot of promise so onwards and upwards(boost :))

Post 532349 by Jamest5r on 2012-08-24 18:25:14
Time for an update me thinks..........
Been a busy and expensive couple of weeks for the green bitch, treated her to a new 255 walbro pump which makes a hell of a difference more than i would of thought, car seemed to pull better and was running like a dream apart from starting when it felt like it bit lol, so after a trip a couple of sunday's ago over to Claymore's to have a play with his TT to see what we could learn and worked out by trying various different maps was that the leaner it was on start-up the better it started :) so there was my problem, yes i could of easily got the map adjusted but after watching Colin playing with the TT i was sold and thought i should learn a bit more about whats runs the bitch after spending so long building and refining.
So had a chat with Adam and arranged a meet and im now the owner of the 1st 4.4 motronic running in an 850 in the uk :), starts 1st turn of the key(mostly lol) and again running like a dream just needs tweeking lol, but thanks to Adam for the lesson's and help with the fuel mapping :)
That's it finished lol well apart from brakes, bodywork etc etc.

Each TT needs a dedicated assignment between an individual TT-ECU and laptop. No laptops can work for 2 different TT unless your name is Adam.

Really ? I used to have 2 TTs and I can't link to both at the same time. I have to save the register file of each TT and when I need to communicate with either one, I'll have to put the exact Registration file in order to work. Maybe it's time I upgrade my TT program.
Initially I see the above as a security for the TT so that some other "players" with TT software won't be loading crap on an exposed TT in somebody else' car. Or you (Claymore) have a Super License ?

Post 582609 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-03-09 21:52:32
Did you manage to look at the Federals on the shelf?
That is some torque peak looks like a Welsh mountain!
2 small things - can't see the RPM plot at the bottom - also what's the dip. However it appears to stay well above 400Nm right the way across. That is gonna be some 1/4. Be tempted to short shift to keep up the torque LOL.
I'm back on Thursday.
Post 582631 by The Flying Moose on 2013-03-09 22:25:23
Some excellent results James!
Having been in the Green Bitch today I can vouch for the difference, the map although down on some's expectations has a beautiful smooth power delivery when feathered and is an absolute monster with the heavy boots on.
In my opinion its just about perfect, drive ability with the torque and power when needed but at its current level well within safe parameters for the uprated components so set-up for reliability and longevity.

Yeah did notice the feds on the shelf lol might give them a go if you dont mind as the budget for new rubber is a few weeks away lol, the dip we think after much testing is a little blow out of the plugs as it try's to hold max boost(25psi), 1st time ive use the ngk one's had them lying around a couple of months ago so thought i would try them, going back to volvo lol

Post 582706 by smithy on 2013-03-10 11:05:33
I still recon that if if we give the actuator a turn or 2 we and turn the boost controller down alittle we could set the boost at 25 psi constant and the peak on the graph would be a straight line across the page of the graph .but that can be done later on this year .its that the actuator is letting off boost after it hits 25 psi and drops off to 21 psi by the end of the graph .the car just needs fine tuning now but weldone mate .
Post 582784 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-03-10 15:10:50
You can borrow them for a week or so - Hamish can get them for a reasonable price - try before you buy.
Seems your AFR is quite rich below 3700? The rest looks spot on. Perhaps softening the boost a little will give you more torque. Still its a stonking performance.

When we set the actuator properly and turn them mbc down then boost will be constant and not dropping off like it does but he does like it as is .

I must admit I used the standard pipes on mine.
Post 590938 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-03-31 20:31:35
Just that I have some spare from the last c70 I broke. However - I was always led to believe that the increased distance from the hub could over stretch the standard lines. Goodridge will help with the pedal feel & Mr Clancy can have them for a beer.

Just a small update on today's fettling, fitted some new volvo plugs wasnt happy with the ngk's, alsom found to my cost at shaky too my torque dont make a fast car if you cant get the power down even though i was using crap tyres, so turned the mbc down to zero and put a couple of turns on the -31 and now holding 19psi on actuator so gonna experiment on a couple of turns and see if i can subdue the boost a little, maybe less bragging rights at a rr but a faster car on the road?? we will see :)
Oh yeah got some new brakes as well 993's :)

seriously though you may not have got off the start as you wanted to, but man that car just looked rocket propelled, as you came past me, to take the win. You know you got a good motor there, you just got to get the tweaks right and you'll crack the time ,Mate

Thought it time i tested the new box a little as haven't done more than 10 miles since fitting lol, all i can say is i didnt think i would notice that much of a difference, but it is very different :) much quicker through the revs and at 80 im having to change to 4th (i borrowed Frankie's private corn field as he's on his hols) we will see if it makes any difference on the 1/4 but looking forward to it.

[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;635605]So what kind of speeds are you seeing off the 1st 3 gears?[/QUOTE]
Not really done a proper test Dave, but changing into 4th around the 80 mark so a good pull of torque and hopefully faster terminal :)
Post 635608 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-08-15 11:12:51
I guess if you were already changing into 4th for the drag strip then it will not matter that you need the extra change?

Using 3rd on the strip, crossing the line at nearly 7k, reckon I will be changing 3/4 of the way now so a good run in 4th.

i'm still not convinced lol. I can see why it'd be perfect for track use but i think for the dragstrip your going to be off the power longer as your changing gear more. With BT's box i'll be able to clear 120mph@7k in 3rd
Post 635620 by Wobbly Dave on 2013-08-15 12:20:22
It's going to be interesting to see. My LK box went through the line doing 104/5 mph in 3rd almost at the redline at 74/75 hundred?
Speedwise.
My top 8th is generally speaking from 80 mph >> 105 = 25 mph which is more than Dean ;)
http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b583/Bigdt5t/IMG_1473_zps32cb7301.jpg
IIRC his top 8th is 86.5 >> 107.8 mph roughly 21.5 mph.
BTW my average top 8th time is 4.75 sec for the top 10 ET results. Dean's is still going faster doing his best top 8th on that 13.3 ticket of 4.55 sec. Another 2 tenths I have to find. Which let's face it may as well be a week.
A couple of these I noted that I used 4th gear (9th best result to date) Running a 14.214 @ 103.7. Within that I ran 0.23 seconds slower to the 660 than my PB. The top 8th on the 4th gear run was 0.05 seconds slower.
Hopefully your last gear change will make only a small difference too & be offset by a better 660' time. TBH mine is a slightly different set up. I know where I am losing out - its in the 2nd 8th.
Proof of the pudding time.
Post 635622 by graemewelch on 2013-08-15 12:29:00
be good to see some times and compare the 2 boxes. i think when i hit the strip ill finish in 3rd. in 3rd i think i can do over 110mph. not sure how fast it would of been if hit the limiter casue a ford focus st kept slowing me down. i used a local corn field to find that out. wasnt frankies though. his is to far away

[QUOTE=T5frankie;688924]i had a mark shead cossie and it was an absolute animal[/QUOTE]
He's the only bloke I found willing to map the TT without question as he had learnt it all doing Andy's car and considering I only need fuel and ignition and it was a manual he was even happier lol reckons 2-3 hrs job done just hope it's dry

He makes Auto 850's with only a fettled 15G, dark greens and a 3" exhaust do 14.43 1/4's @ 101.85 mph ;)
So if he can improve an auto to that level just imagine what he can do with a highly modded manual... I personally can't wait to see the results ;)

Awesome stuff James, sounds like your over the moon and as you say Mark certainly knows his stuff, yours is now the 4th Volvo to be mapped by him. It may of taken him 2 1/2 hrs but I bet he much prefered mapping a manual than doing my auto.. ;)
You love about yours exactly what I love about mine it's so smooth yet rapid at the same time, granted I'm not running 2 bar of boost and knowing how mine feels and drives at 1.45 bar yours must be on another level with the extra .55 bar :)

Interesting, I have 225 x 40 x 18 on the t-5k and 225 x 45 x 17 on the t-5r and they're both quite bad in the wet, but better than the ditch finders that were on the t-5r previously.

As you can see in the pic's there are only 3 small remnants of the planet gears found inside the box, some had fallen one during removal and handing no doubt, part of them whistled past Jimbobs door mirror as he tried to push on in 3rd, by all accounts......lol

Not really happy with the way it pulls tbh, Mark Shead did what he could with the TT but to quote him "it's a bit clunky to use " Tim can do a far better job now with the standard ecu's, i know there's a lot more in it I'm running 2 bar of boost ffs it should be absolutely metal but it's not feels flat in the mid range, discussed it with Tim before my hols so will be going there once I sort the wishbones.
Post 765722 by S70T5Chris on 2015-03-28 17:23:14
Cool beans. You won't be disappointed mate. He has a such a precise understanding of what he's doing and what is needed. You won't possibly get better, I can guarantee you that. And what's more, he's not interested in chasing figures, it's purely about how the car drives.
Post 765728 by t5 pete on 2015-03-28 17:54:09
Still looks mucky green go wash it again.
Just had the gul mapped this weekend well impressed drives great and with the progressive boost it should be ideal on the quater mile.
The thing I've seen over the years is most tuners just wack full boost at 3k yeah it feels great but then is flat uncontrolled and useless the way he's done mine it just keeps pulling and pulling while being in total Control.

Was a long afternoon,:), all good apart from having a knackered rear knock sensor and a sticky throttle cable which I'll change then return, now drives and pulls so much smother just running off actuator pressure only mbc shut, pulls at 24psi all the way to 7500 rpm which equates to 112 mph in 3rd with my box, so all in all I'm a happy man, thanks to Tim and Ben for there efforts :)

Never looked at my tdi the other day until I though why does the pedal not move on cruise, then noticed fly by wire, always assumed with age it wasn't.

Sorted cheers mate
Started putting it all back together....
Then when doing the last mani stud up this happens....
Anyway carried on and with Smithy's help got the gearbox on and then lifted the block and box onto the sub-frame, yes two old bloke's managed it somehow :)
If it wasnt for that bloody stud could of lowered the car back on, but hey-ho the bitch fight's on for another day.
All the bit's back on
All in place just got to lower it down carefully lol and im nearly there :)
Many thanks to Mr Moose for the offer of help today, unfortunaltly he did'nt make it past Peterbough, ill leave him to tell the story, hope you get it sorted mate.
Just a bit of wiring, inlet mani and a couple of pipes and im there :)
However the Bitch wont start, cranks over no problem but got no spark, tried the usual cam/crank/ht/ ect all changed for replacements but still no spark so any idea's lads....
Cheers for your help today Mr Smith and Son's :)
The bitch still wont start...it's almost catching but not quite, i have a spark now but its very weak and im guessing it is just being blown out while trying to start, and idea's lads??
Cheers
After some cleaning
Forgot how many bolts held the damn thing down took nearly an hour to undo them all + cleaning lol
Some painting :)
All back together ok but 4 of the bolts were just spinning so tapped them out to 8mm fitted new bolts and all is good, took it for a little thrsh and no leaks so im a happy man :)
Ps god it sounds good when coming on boost :)
Step 2, go back 48hrs later and get these.....:)
Some pics of the detail...
Step 3, fit :)
Just need one more piece of silicone for the bottom join bloody typical.
Not long now :)
For Nealevo.....plenty meaty :)
[/URL]
Long story short thanks to Smithy and Nealevo for pulling out the box and re-fitting it, same you couldn't stay till 8 effing pm to finish the job lol, saying that i still have one more bolt sitting in the kitchen to re fit.
One effed m59 :)
