Post 422146 by daza-b on 2011-11-06 11:36:33
Well guys thought i would start a thread on my new project
Started off gettin handed down my V70 from my granddad so major sentimental value ut me being me cannot keep a car standard!!
So here is how it looked when i got it:
Pretty clean motor for its age really, couple of bumps being my granddads work
Done a couple of bits so far like tinted the windows as i own a window tint and valeting company, tinted the rear lights and put a H.I.D kit in, here is how it looks:
Just bought a 1998 V70 T5 from my friends yard to break, going to have the engine, cruise control and onboard computer, going to give the t5 engine a full rebuild with everything uprated, going to try for the 350bhp - 400bhp, picking the t5 up tomorrow so will get some pics as will be selling a few bits of it like the leather interior and other bits and pieces, anyway that my progress so far
reason for not just buying a T5R that i want is because the XLT has way to much sentimental value to let it go, anyways talk soon guys :)

Good luck with the project, and I look forward to seeing it all come together. Started my project now on the T5, but I'm not swapping engines or anything as drastic as that- well hopefully not! No seriously, cambelt service and PCV this Thursday and then tints next month and then...................................................................

how much is the belt costing you to get done?
Post 430607 by foammanmark on 2011-11-28 18:35:07
I think it around £400 for the cambelt service and PCV. However, the car has come with a set of plugs and oil filter, which might bring the price down slightly. I use Readview Volvo near me and they are very good with an excellent reputation. Adam goes on here so I have to be careful what I say!! He's been good for me, only the other week he repaired my D5 whilst I waited after a pipe came loose from the turbo, and I don't forget things like that!

Hi mate, a bit off topic but i need advice about tinting, the Mrs want's her V70 done but not as dark as "limo" but the best shade to keep the heat off the dogs in summer but still be able to see out of the window's, what would you recommend? and could you do it at a meet if you attended?
Cheers

hiya mate there is a lot of different tints, unfortunatly i cant really do it outside at a meet due to elements in the air and wind etc suggestion being go for a light smoke as all tints have a 99% uv protection, but as for heat no tints can do that much for heat, i mean dont get me wrong they do help a little, memory serves its about 16% heat reduction across the line, hope that helps :D

Well guys it has been a while since i posted on this, illness and work have stopped me from doing my plans, anyways, the project is ON!! lol im starting over the next day, here are some pics:
got my v70 parked at the back on the unit ready for the transplant, just sticking the t5 block with the auto box until i have the manual bit.
Had a nice delivery also today consisting of my R bumpers, sending them to my mate for repair/respray ready to stick on mine when the transplant is complete:
so this is the last we will see of this slow ass 2.5 10v with its knackered auto box :
and say hellloooo to the t5 engine...woop woop :D
while its out im gonna give it a full service, belts, tensioners etc etc, do the pcv, service the auto box (grrr autos!) lol also gonna sort out a rip kit, and poss a better intercooler, but may do that after i have some more cash etc, also swapping over the 302s, a lot of work ahead but its finally in the go ahaed stages :D
stay tuned folks :D
Post 456799 by foammanmark on 2012-01-30 17:46:35

I sense a race coming soon mate! The Titans will look great, even before the refurb, and after the refurb, I might want to buy them back!?!
Post 456819 by The Flying Moose on 2012-01-30 17:55:24
Ill be watching this one, I havnt seen a non-turbo to turbo conversion on a 70 series car before so will be interested to see how you get on and what challenges you face.
Fingers crossed the swap will be easy and all the wiring the same!

quick update, got the t5 engine close to out of the donor t5, just pricing up the bits ready for the conversion, thinking whether to just get on with the engine upgrades and give it a full on rebuild while its out, saves me pulling it out while its in, be like a yo yo then lol pictures will follow soon, just had ill kiddies so process is very slow at the min lol
Post 464550 by daza-b on 2012-02-19 10:49:58
newest updat, many thanks to foammanmark for the titans, could not wait to get them on and must say, the difference in ride is awesome! lower profile tyres etc makes it just that bit better for cornering etc, just on the look out for a full set of 4 tyres, going 215/40/17, instead of the 215/45/17 that are on, really liked the look of the tyres that TFM has, prada 2 i think, unless someone can give me some suggestions of what tyres to go for, its more the all weather grip factor im after, anyways here is a pic or two with them on,
i think lowering is going to be one of the next jobs as it seem to sit very high, and also full refurb on the wheels too, either staying the colour they are or colour match them to the car? suggestions there too please :)
the engine rebuilb should be underway in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for that too :)
Post 464553 by foammanmark on 2012-02-19 10:55:44
Mate, I really like to have contrasting coloured wheels, so I would go graphite if I was you. With the tints as well, it would look awesome. Glad that you're happy with them!

Got couple of jobs done on the car today, 1st off put the different clocks in, the ones with the info readings on, lost the rev counter and service light come up, which was expected, not getting the correct readings from the ecu, i know this will change once the t5 engine and ecu is in, also changed the door latch on the drivers front as the lights stayed on all the time, even turning the lights off was still killing my battery, anyway changed it, and to my disappointment the lights are still staying on, but the light in the drivers footwell is now going off, so gotta find out which one is not turning the lights off lol, changing the passenger doors over the next few days as mine have got the nasty dints in, and i know they have decent latches in so if the lights go off them i have cracked it, if not then its down to the drivers rear door and tailgate, either way, it will be fixed lol, also gotta get on with my t5 engine rapido as im getting a knocking noise from the 2.5 on start up, sounds like a sticking cam or something, so that the engine on its way and the auto box, the joys! lol anyways, enough boring ya now lol

Lowering is a deffo needed! Also, bigger brakes. Put the ones off the T5 on? They look tiny compared to the ones mine had and I wouldn't of described them as sufficiant when you hit a good driving road, pulled up many a time with them on fire... Don't know if you've decided on this yet cos' not followed the thread that closely, but gun metal grey on the wheels is the way I would go with them.
Post 464667 by tim15888 on 2012-02-19 17:57:05

Still goes ok just the DMF making all the noise thats the only reason im doing the clutch. Plus its a good chance to upgrade the clutch slightly and give it all a freshen up.
New slave cylinder/release bearing and rear main going in at the same time.

Well engine is in, all plumbed up, but wont fire properly :( it fires and then dies near enough straight away, new sparks etc and fuel in the line, think it might be a return valve on the fuel line, as i recall mine not having one, or it may be further up the line? gonna take the valve out and see what happens then...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's a bit late mate, but I'm passing that place on the A1 tomorrow that is really highly rated. He has loads of Volvos there and I think he's breaking them as well, but I can't remember the name. On the A1 in I think Cambs just south of St.Neots.

It took a bit of work, I shot some video of me doing different stages of the car entry/startup, edited the clips, joined them all together and converted it to an animated GIF and added the static images. Just used Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Imageready.

Ok, excuse my partially drunken drivel,
Is she on the road and moving yet, is there a vid yet?
How much is left to do (although, considering how quiet you've been tonight, probably not a lot)

Welll really good update here, im sending these messages from Blackburn, 45 miles way from mine, and i came in the volvo :D couple of teething problems like the ABS and Llamba light on, no speedo as i have the wrong abs sensors on, get the odd splutter and turbo does not kick in on the rare occasion, but for a rush job not bad at all :) get back tomorrow and get it back in the garage and sort all the problems out :D

Done a little to it today, was too nice a day to waste in the garage, so all i have done is put in the boost gauge (not showing a pic of that as it look pretty dismal as i could only get a dash mount pod not an a pillar one, put on the top powerflex mount:
set up the boost with the mbc as i was only boosting at around 6psi, now i have it set to about 12psi :), got a large list of parts im after now so ill be sorting them over the next few weeks, then its manual conversion time!!

Wow been couple of weeks since i posted on here, not done that much due to bein rather shhitty after my grandads funeral, but he would kick me in the head if he knew i was getting all down and upset, had a few bad headaches lately so he probably has been doing, got all the wheels off ready for calliper paint, full brake system bleed with some racing brake fluid, poss some braided lines and also the recon of the titans, put the R back bumper on, just gotta sort of the passenger exhaust trim as it looks a bit stupid at the mo, spent a couple of days minting the engine, interior and exterior, looks really good now, but found some oil under the spark cover so leads me to believe the PVC may be blocked, so ordering a set of new spark leads, rotor and dizzy tomorrow, while im at it im gonna do the timing belt and tensioner, aux belts and tensioner as its noisy, also going to use the spare sub frame i got and completely recon it with new lower arms and polybush and paint it all up with some high temp paint, lots to do but now i have bored you all with the crap i gotta do here are some lovely pics lol:
before
after
the worst alloy is being a pain so may be on the look out for a new wheel, not got any pics of the progress with the filler primer but it still looks pants
gonna get on with the other 3 over the next few days and hopefully look at getting it back on the road by about may time :)
Post 484137 by foammanmark on 2012-04-09 22:02:56
Saw the car today and it is looking really good. The R bumpers are very, very nice and the car is a real credit to Daza-B. I look forward to seeing it with the Titans back on soon, and then we can have that race as well.

I used normal body filler on some of the deeper gouges when I did my wheels, then sanded, then filler primer. Bit of effort but worth it.

These will deal with the fumes mate...
http://www.screwfix.com/p/dr-ger-p3-painters-half-mask-set/73127
P3 paper masks (not FFP2) will help but the proper mask will eliminate the fumes completely and for only 30 quid, can't be bad.

cheers mate thats a bargain that! Really plays havoc with my stomach and i get such a lovely headache lol what u think of the job so far tho mate?
Post 484906 by M-R-P on 2012-04-11 15:14:45
Even I get tummy-trouble from paint fumes, we use industrial paint at work and I supply the PPE to suit. That's how I know what you need. I had a quick look to see if we had any spare masks here but unfortunately not. loads of filter units tho.
Wheels are looking superb, I just wish I chose that colour instead of... hell, Gunscrossed has the bolts now anyway... Vauxhall Silver Lightning (or gay blue as I prefer to call it)
Keep it up mate, one day we'll all be at a big meet somewhere and we'll be trying to find fault in each - other's cars lol. (note the "shades of white" and "minor dent" counts in my sig;))

I'm only messing really mate. Let's see how the wheels are when they come up, and then we'll decide from there on the refurb.

Post 485017 by M-R-P on 2012-04-11 19:28:10
Daz, I really recommend a decent mask and A1 (with P2 add-on) filters, regardless of any health issues, if you're planning on doing a lot of spraying or you may as well start smoking again. (and if you do that, I'll personally come to Morcombe and pimp-slap ya ;))

I have updated this thread here: http://www.volvotuners.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=9
a few bits are going to be up for sale like the leather interior etc but will post a thread when i have got them out, all the bits i will be selling are going to be nice and cheap so get ready for a couple of bargains :D
then i got her cleaned up, even changed the grill as mine had no badge on it, some fecker nicked it, now she looks like this:
all nice and shiny again :D next jobs are:
locate a new front bumper (hopefully and V70R bumper but any silver one will do to make it look better)
refurb the 850 T5 alloys i have got and get them on
maybe look at getting a better rear bumper
then eventually locate 2 passenger side doors as some **** head has bumped into them and slightly scuffed and dinted (can only notice uup close but its annoying me lol
then after all that its ICE ICE baby time lol, going for a double din dvd player, full alpine type R with alpine type X sub and amp, and full sound proofing all around so get some mega bass on the go :D
feel much better knowing that is done now as its been bugging me for weeks lol
also got the interior lights working as they should, so hopefully i wont go to it and find the battery dead again, also be able to see what im doing when i get in the car lol, next jobs are to change the bonnet as the old one has lacquer peel and its annoying me and then im gonna start on the R bumpers ready to go on :)
thats how it did look
having a bit of a break as been at it a bit now, this is how far i have got so far:
tomorrow fitting the clutch for T5tom so not gonna get anything done on it, but sunday hopefully it will be on the way to being completed :)
here is a pic of my finger hahaha
got all the service bits for the new engine......its getting there :)
then here is how the rack looks lol:
lots of swearing today and punch bag being abused lol
not sure what to do with the fuel lines, think i have figured it but will soon find out, here is the difference:
this is on the t5 block:
and this is what is left in my shell:
on a happier note, did give the engine bay a good clean up to make it look all so pretty lol
got the t5 lump sat in the air patiently awaiting to be placed into the bay
wont be doing nothing tomorrow as got some appointments to attend, so thursday hopefully will have the PAS rack changed and the t5 lump sat where it should be :)
looks a bit different dont it lol
just one question, where does the other end of this vacuum go on this picture?
got some big brakes sat on my car now, 302s :D
should have it back on all 4s tomorrow so i can move it about, then im going to start reconditioning the wheels and sorting the front and rear R bumpers :) its all coming together, then its going to be time for a manual conversion, oh the joys! lol
[URL=http://s1179.photobucket.com/albums/x385/CallyTurbo84/?action=view¤t=IMG_0157.mp4][/URL]
does feel good with a bit of turbo power :)
During, Sanded Down And then Filler Primered
1st Coat Of Paint
Comparison
One Finished, Painted And Laquered
Also New dizzy and rotor arm ready for fitting
Gonna get on with the other wheels over next couple of days :)
