started doing 940 rebuild today here are some of the parts i have so far
looking good buddy so is it a full engine rebuild etc also if you can do me a favour and keep a eye out for a 16v please
we started with doing the ipd sway bars and done solid engine mounts too
im having major problems downloading pics at mo.i have an iphone4s and when i put them on the computer and then try to put them on the site it keeps coming up error and i dont know how to resize the pics .thats not much good doing a build thread with no bloody pics.im putting the forged bottomend in tomorrow i think i best take diggy camera lol.
these are my rims for the 940
What size are they
i dont know some load up some dont .its just a phone lol
Wheels carl
18s mate i will take better pics tomorrow or i will pm you lol
liking the wheels mate.....................looking forward to more updates
the will be loads of pics daily on this thread mate hopefully of the engine in the bay tomorrow ps do you think the turbo is too small or should i get a bigger one
Looking good there bud. Makes we wanna do something to my old bus. As for the turbo, depends on what you want to use it for LOL.
very true lol just boost mate lots of it
Boost is great, but its no good if it comes in too late ;)
The turbo is designed to come in early at 3k on full boost like the t38 did
Sweeeeet!!!!
Nom Nom :D
Lol nice
you rebuildin this again
i never used the forged engine last year or the modded head and cam ether.also built the cossie manifold and bigger t38 hybrid with t4 compressor housing too mate.
more pics of what we have done today .got the block back today after it was stripped and rechecked with me there no probs at all ,so fitted it back in with group 4 solid engine mounts
the 1st pic is a ttv racing flywheel and 850r clutch and last pic is the young mechanic aka my son.he has been getting his hands dirty too.
ooh god i look bored
It's only because we had finished for the day son
Mmmmm, redblock goodness :)
looking real good carl
Thanks mate should look better with head and cam and timed up tomorrow mate
You know me mate redblock all the way mate leave the white blocks to the awd/fwd boys lol
am a bit lost here , thought ya had this running ages ago and it was goin to blow every thing on the strip , confused now lol
That's hope it goes like hell mate because u have 13.3 @ 112 mph to beat ;-)
Yes mate but finances had to go other places so put my 940 on hold .
We will see when I meet you on the strip but with the way things are going I will be racing Xmas day lol

So, when will it be running?

He has a month
looking good smithy...
it will be finished before xmas but it will not be done for trax fraid.i wanted to be but i think frankie might be right in saying it wont be running till next year lol.but i want to run the car in and tuned by xmas so then i can sort the body out ready for april if not before depending on the weather but i will be enjoying it next season.looks like im watching everyone racing this year dam lol.
if shiny bits = speed, that thing is gonna turn itself inside out off the line lol. looks amazing mate, keep it up.
Thanks mate
Looking good there, glad to see your still going at it.. Wish I could say the same for mine..
Thanks mate but it's ashame the car will not be ready for trax because I have loads of work to do on the car yet.this time I want to do everything properly so I can enjoy the car.so I will be taking the s40 round trax lol.do you think the turbo is big enough lol.
Where did you get the Nuke cam pully from?
Sweden mate
Looks good mate, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh and seeing what times it produces.
Unreal........

[QUOTE=smithy;530255]What is unreal lol[/QUOTE] The amount of bloody time its taking you :)
[QUOTE=Jamest5r;530399]The amount of bloody time its taking you :)[/QUOTE] lol :D :D :D
You can talk lol and I'm taking it nice and slow , no point in rushing the car when the summer is so crap ,just hope for a better season next year.
i'm thinking also to take my time since i have to start again, rods i reckon
[QUOTE=Jamest5r;530399]The amount of bloody time its taking you :)[/QUOTE] lol What car does he have again?? Its been so long, i'v forgot!!
Its coming along nicely smithy, good to see it all getting pieced together. I wonder how long that engine bay will stay clean???
fitted the wheels today but car needs a good wash and new bumpers etc fitted a painted but it gives peeps an idea what they are like on the car enjoy.the car is abit high at mo due to only just being dropped on the floor and the car has to settle .
I can tow you to trax now :)
[QUOTE=Jamest5r;531547]I can tow you to trax now :)[/QUOTE] Cheeky git lol

looking really good carl tbh i like them wheels better than the polaris on your car they really set it off
[QUOTE=smithy;531587]Yes mate I will let you have the keys for 11.8 sec mate lol[/QUOTE]looks very nice mate but wots this 11.8 sec all about?
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;531621]looks very nice mate but wots this 11.8 sec all about?[/QUOTE] how long it takes to get to 60mph ;-)
[QUOTE=LiamT4;531639]how long it takes to get to 60mph ;-)[/QUOTE] I would love to know that... Great Project, following with alot of interest Smithy! Good Luck Will,
Good shine on the car there. Look better with colour coded handles. Any rubbing issues on the front with the 18's?
How wide are the wheels Smithy? I can't help thinking you'll need a lot of rubber to put all that power down.
[QUOTE=M-R-P;532081]How wide are the wheels Smithy? I can't help thinking you'll need a lot of rubber to put all that power down.[/QUOTE] What power? Its only got 140bhp, it just sounds fast ;-)
[QUOTE=LiamT4;532089]What power? Its only got 140bhp, it just sounds fast ;-)[/QUOTE] Yes mate it will sound even faster soon with that manifold and large tb.
[QUOTE=barkster1971;532077]Good shine on the car there. Look better with colour coded handles. Any rubbing issues on the front with the 18's?[/QUOTE] The car is minging on the outside it's just being in the garage makes it look shinny lol.no probs with the front arches at all mate .and I've got all the s90 handles and bumpers and side skirts so should look tasty when she is finished with the 140 bhp she has.
[QUOTE=M-R-P;532081]How wide are the wheels Smithy? I can't help thinking you'll need a lot of rubber to put all that power down.[/QUOTE] They are 7.5in wide with 225/40/18s Avon zv5s brand new all round .
[QUOTE=smithy;532113]They are 7.5in wide with 225/40/18s Avon zv5s brand new all round .[/QUOTE] I know very well that they are very good tyres but that 139 bhp has to go somewhere and I think it may be lost a bit through those rear wheels - 445s may be more suitable ;) Especially since I heard them scream with pain from the 1st stage of boost - with the OLD setup :yikes: You're gonna need sponsorship from Avon to go to the shop and back lol

[QUOTE=smithy;532120]Very true but I've got some other tyres for drag racing and going to get a set of 17s with track tyres on .[/QUOTE] Hell yeah! I want one :D
[QUOTE=M-R-P;532121]Hell yeah! I want one :D[/QUOTE] I still promised you a drive in it ,when she is fully tuned up I will come to one of the meets and then I will show you what 140bhp is like on the road lol
[QUOTE=smithy;532123]I still promised you a drive in it ,when she is fully tuned up I will come to one of the meets and then I will show you what 140bhp is like on the road lol[/QUOTE] Loads of noise and a big cloud of smoke I imagine lol! Really tho, I know you have a goal and I recon you are gonna reach it mate. I just hope you have enough rubber to cope with it. ;)
looking great there Carl, looking forward to saturday week when you can tell us your latest news, over a few tinnies :funkybana
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;531621]looks very nice mate but wots this 11.8 sec all about?[/QUOTE] Think thats the time he is aiming for at the strip. It will be tough without some proper drag slicks. My car has less than 140hp and is very traction limited with Yoko A048's at 1 bar boost.

Funny as though - Big WOOOSH, scream of tyres and 13 seconds later, when the smoke clears, Smithy's still sat at the start line after digging himself - in, up to the axles when the tyres burnt off pmsl :D

hi carl, the rear discs you want are the 850 5 stud. outer dia 295mm , handbrake drum diameter 177mm ish. 940 original disc: 280mm outer dia , handbrake drum 160mm dia. thickness of disc 9.67 mm same as 850 disc. s60 rear disc: unsuitable because of large inner flange on drum that sticks out like i thought , and outer dia only 290mm. regards, jamie
If you've got 18's on you can go 336mm discs with V70r calipers or even 345mm discs with Brembos off an Evo 8.

[QUOTE=barkster1971;533846]If you've got 18's on you can go 336mm discs with V70r calipers or even 345mm discs with Brembos off an Evo 8.[/QUOTE] The porche setup is 320 front and 298 rear so the 850 rear and s60 front will do nicely .
no problem. i presume these calipers were from a solid not vented rear disc originally?
320 mm discs - are available and now under pfv907782 £266.53 inc + £9.18
Ok, after playing "pass the parcel" with some photos last night, Here's some pics of A rather large dump valve and fuel pressure regulator...
More Bling bling looks very nice

FPR's any good? saw a second hard SARD unit on the bay but still havent understood the getting fuel to the injectors bit yet
What is a sard unit mate

I think SARD is just a brank the same as 'nuke' 'bosche' etc, apparantely the jdm toyota boys love SARD gear

i have a loud pedal, whats the progress with yours these days? I'm hoping to have mine running by next month, just stupid things left to do. going to nab the back axle off the daily 940 as it's a locker and the turbo is just a straight open diff

will the 960 diff fit a solid 940 axle? 3'' tb on a standard manifold, I take it you're going for outright fuel economy then

these are black diamond combination discs - drilled and grooved. yummy!
A few pics of shiny stuff sent to me today :)
I think they may have gotten a bit squished in transit (the pics, not the shiny stuff lol) but you get the idea.
Thanks for posting the pics mate ,now time to put it on the car and get the thing going lol
Looking the dogs mate. Just hurry up ffs.
Nice, very nice and shiny. What's the idea - better airflow?
[QUOTE=jamesy12345;618061]Nice, very nice and shiny.

looking good but that cam belt looks like a rubber band
1d photographs lol
[QUOTE=smithy;618099]None mot pass able mate already though of that one[/QUOTE] they will pass on mot, but you have to keep the orginal cables attached at some point to the caliper, thats what the road rally boys do to be able to get mot pass, cable must move but won,t have to actually operate anything as the hydraulic system will take care of that

Can't remember what calipers we used to use when we where converting to rear discs, it was something that had a hanbrake mech buily into the caliper.. Looking good Smithy...

looks like it will need a parachute to stop not a handbrake :flying:
