Volvo 960 meets JZ-GTE

[S90R]

As a result of my need of moore horsepower, I have started to install a 2JZ-GTE engine in my 960:cool:

My old engine is a B6304 with Turbonetics 60-1 turbo. 426 horsepower

New engine, a 2JZ-GTE with singleturbo! Not fully built yet

[Husker4volvo]

Thats one hott car nice work man. :badboy:

[Three Fat Tigers]

Wow!

What was the ignition system on the 960 engine?

[acbarnett]

wow, that car really rocks. What were your reasons for going over to the 2JZ-GTE? I have a b6304 I plan on turboing and using in my 940 with a 6-speed. What psi did you make 426 at? and what made you decide to go over to a 2jizzer instead of upgrading the internals of the volvo engine.

[shaved240]

2jz??? thats cheating

[impulse922]

its a eurasian car now

[S90R]

I used 3 double coils and Autronic SMC to controll it.
After 2 engine blocks failure, my patience of the Volvo engine was over. If you planning of turbocharge your 960, use a B6254. If it´s exists in US.
However, the 2JZ engine has been seen with over 1500 HP! :D

[TerribleOne]

Wow.. I'm near speechless. Nice work. In my opinion, you're absolutely right for dropping a toyota motor in your car. The aftermarket support is alot more readily available.

Agian great work! Keep it up.

see now we're getting good info. where did the block fail? any pictures of what happened? what internals (pistons/rods) were you using?


edit:// and for that matter, would you mind sharing your ignition and fuel maps with us? I'm in the middle of a turbo b6304 too, and it'd be nice to have a palce to start...

[acbarnett]

I too would like to see them

and I'm interested in where it failed too...

[SwedishFish]

You and the Poi should just join forces and together would have 12 cylinders and 3 turbos.
Call it: Team Crazy Mother****as

Oh yes, S90R your car is BEAUTIFUL! Good luck with the yota mota!

[blkaplan]

man, I got to take away the 960 from the women in my family before they ruin it and do that

[Aussie Volvo]

Hi S90R

Now that there is someone on the board who know something about the Volvo 6cyl white blocks. I will ask this question

I am not up on the different number used for these engines. So I will list the engines I am talking about

Are the 3L S80 bi turbo engines a better base to build a performance engine like the one in the S90R pictured

I know the early 960/S90 NA 3L 6cyl have block problems what year did the better blocks start getting better

The next project I would like to do is mix a S90 with a S80 twin turbo engine and work on making a good amount of Hp

[stylngle2003]

george, the T6 engine is actually 2.8L and called the B6284T6, but from what i can gather, it uses similar rods as a 5cyl turbo, meaning theyre good to about 360hp

the b6254 is a 2.5L (see the difference with the 25=2.5L and 28=2.8L, similarly the B6304 is 3.0L) I6 used in 2.5L 960s and the like

Thank you for that info that helps out a lot

[Pennybridge Pioneer]

why'd you use that teeny little turbo on the 3.0 litre?

[Vee_Que]

THat is pretty small innit?

But I dislike the oh-so-mighty 2jz, mainly because they are overrated, I seriously doubt you could have 1000rwhp on stock internals on a 100k km old motor, with it lasting in daily driving without massive lag, just not possible, it'd be making more like 200hp at 3000rpm, and less torque, but either way most people who make that much power from their RB26 or 2JZ are very rich or companies, because once you get past bolt ons, things get expensive VERY quickly.

[Forg]

What're they overrated compared to? A mate of mine is every bit as much of an, ahemm, butcher as a lot of what you see around here; yet he's only put a bigger exhaust & upped the boost to 15psi [I think] on his and he's dyno'd something like 10kW more at the rear wheels of his Mk2 Supra than the 2JZGTE officially put out at the flywheel. And he definitely hasn't built it to be a dyno queen or anything, he just grabbed it out of an Aristo & plonked it in his Mk2, innards completely untouched.
If I had a chance in hell of getting that sort of performance out of the 242 I'd be a very happy person ... but there's no way it's happening with a redblock, not without spending a helluva lot more than a 2JZGTE conversion would cost. :)

[Vee_Que]

They do make power, but so does every over-engineered motor that has a hp limit, the Supra didn't actually make 206kws at the fly, it was more, just the gentlemans agreement, I mean, turbo a Holden V8 or an LS1, the LS1 will make 600RWHP on stock internals as long as it's not revved hard, the 304 can make 400 at the rears or so, just by bolting the things on and tuning it in.

[S90R]

A little movieclip with my car:
http://www.honefossgatebil.com/filmer/s90r.wmv

[isaac]

Note to others: If he put 426hp to the wheels before breaking two blocks, the turbo was big enough.

Very nice car. Thank you for coming to Turbobricks to show it to us, and for inspiring us to build better cars.

Good luck with the 2JZ. That car is going to be insane!

If you take the crankshaft from the B6304 and put it in the b6254 yout got a B6284...
That´s because the B6304 has 90mm stroke and the B6254 has 80mm stroke.
Even the bore is different, 83mm on B6304 and 81mm on B6254.

in the rn series 5 cylinder, (not the r versions, theire stronger) the rods will hold 360 hp. in a s80 T6, 360/5 x 6 = 420 or so

[S90R]

Best block for you guys is the B6284T from S80T6. Then take the top and cams from B6304. With standard rods and pistons I recomend around 400 HP.

[stylngle2003]

in the rn series 5 cylinder, (not the r versions, theire stronger) the rods will hold 360 hp. in a s80 T6, 360/5 x 6 = 420 or so

can you clarify RN and R for me? I searched, but couldn't find anything useful about differing engine designations.

also, I was going on the general rule of thumb here in the USA that whiteblock rods begin to let go around 300whp for 5cyls, meaning 60hp per rod (*6 rods for a T6=360whp), although a friend who lives in my city but is almost never on the forums has a 98 C70HPT with a big T3/T4 and made 316fwhp on a unichip program: http://k41.pbase.com/u15/stylngle2003/large/38853286.P1010075.jpg
so who knows what the limits are...

does the head from a B6304 bolt right up to a B6284T6? any particular reason to use the 3.0 head and not just stick with the T6 one? I can imagine, if the T6 cams are anything like the lame T cam from the sohc days, that they leave something to be desired in the way of top-rpm performance...in europe do you guys use the 3.0 (or even the 2.5L) cams with forced induction 6cyl whiteblocks? Is it advantageous to switch to the earlier cams from the 1992-1994 960s (the ones rated at 201HP over here) when boosting?

Also, I have heard that exhuast ports are different between the T6 and the B6304, so wouldn't a custom manifold still be the major stepping stone to boosting an I6?


oh, and by the way, your car sounded absolutely amazing in the video...that was still with the whiteblock, right? :rockon:

[Boosted2003]

i forgot to add, i meant flywheel hp. sorry :)
A german tuner has a S60 EVO version tuning kit that should get the engine to 360 hp (crank), with 1.4 bar turbo pressure.


About the R and RN etc,...
volvo intrioduced the whiteblocks (N series) loong ago, but everytime improved them a bit. RN stands for Refined N series. These newer ones can take more power.
with the R sieries engine i mean the S60R engine. those engines are the strongest whiteblock, 400 hp is reached already on stock rods iirc.

http://autoweb.drive.com.au/cms/A_53475/newsarticle.html

All three five-cylinder engines were recently improved and are now referred to by Volvo as RN engines (Refined N series).

Lighter crankshaft and reduced running friction result in improved torque and quieter running. Advances in combustion technology result in lower fuel consumption and better throttle response.

Many of the reciprocating parts in the RN engine have been reduced in mass and size. For example, pistons, gudgeon pins and crankshaft counterweights are smaller and lighter thereby reducing reciprocating mass in the engine by about 25 percent or between 3.5kg and 4.5kg, depending on engine variant.

The RN engine uses a short skirted piston with the gudgeon pin located nearer to the ring pack to allow the use of a longer connecting rod. A longer connecting rod is beneficial for several reasons. A longer rod reduces piston-to-bore friction, improves combustion by holding the piston at TDC and BDC for longer duration allowing better ignition and better cylinder fill, and a longer connecting rod produces better torque by providing a better mechanical advantage.

[acbarnett]

If you take the crankshaft from the B6304 and put it in the b6254 yout got a B6284...
That´s because the B6304 has 90mm stroke and the B6254 has 80mm stroke.
Even the bore is different, 83mm on B6304 and 81mm on B6254.

what about a b6354 crank on a b6304 or b6284t6? That would get you a slightly oversquare engine, and the shorter stroke, in addition to being better rev-wise, and the shorter stroke will generally make the crankshaft just a bit stronger than a longer-stroke one of the same design.

thanks for clarifying that bit...in what year did RN engines begin to appear?

the B6254 sounds like it's mildly oversquare as it is, with an 80mm stroke and 81mm bore

[acbarnett]

I think the RN's are any of the new ones with e-throttles and VVT heads

so probably since ~99 or so

oh, and by the way, your car sounded absolutely amazing in the video...that was still with the whiteblock, right? :rockon:

The top fits right on the T6 engine. The reason that you should change, is the VVT system and kams. You have no need for VVT. We use the cams form B6304. It has the same cams from 91 to 98. Exhaust ports are the same, but intake is different.
I´ll recommend not to break 60 hp per rod. Original rods are ****.

[S90R]

That´s right

[JW240]

ok S90R, thanks for the info!
too bad volvo uses such a weak rods.... :(
rods: around 300-340 hp (T5)
head flows enough for 450+ hp
pistons: 500+ hp (T5)
crank and block: One1 Million horesepoweer :evillaugh:

JW

[acbarnett]

yeah, but SPM rods aren't TOO bad for the amount of power they open you up for. By themselves they don't add any horsepower, but by association they open the door to over 200-300 more hp. 200-300 hp for $1k is as good a deal as any in my book

[tjts1]

I just want to say this is very very cool. Please keep us updated on project.

Crank is wery good, but block is another story. Cylinders are weak:-(

[acbarnett]

YAY!!!

now we're getting good info.

and it looks like i get to use my 960 block for weightlifting and save up for a t6 block. Meanwhile I DO think I'll try to have the head sent out for porting work...

[the poi]

Crank is wery good, but block is another story. Cylinders are weak:-(
i'm curious about this because my ultimate goal is 700hp on the whiteblock. Do the bores flex due to the open deck and split? I'm planning on eventually converting the deck to a closed deck with a machined aluminum bore girdle to strengthen the cylinder alignment. Of course, this won't help if the bores are splitting right down the side... are they?

edit:// and for that matter, would you see any reason why the even newer b6294t motors would be a bad choice?

[volvorules at work]

Chris, I have seen in person a T5 block that had the cylinders split. It was run on a race gas map w/93 octane, with a driver that wasn't paying attention. Overheated it too, but that was probably afterwards, once the gasket gave way.

Anyway, it split between cylinders, where there is the slight gap for coolant to pass through. Don't think I've got any pictures of it though. 2 or 3 of the bores were visibly out of round.

Rob

[acbarnett]

I'm interested in the b6294t's just because i could run the higher-comp pistons that my planned setup involves.

[towerymt]

Anyway, it split between cylinders, where there is the slight gap for coolant to pass through. Don't think I've got any pictures of it though. 2 or 3 of the bores were visibly out of round.
From what I recall, it looked like the cylinders were close together, maybe swelled a bit, and just closed up the gap til there was no more room to move and they cracked.

[acbarnett]

I wondering if opening those gaps by a millimeter or so would change anything?

you might need some sort of girdle to keep the bores centred though

[Pennybridge Pioneer]

big enough
is there such a thing?

[NChoy]

S90R, had a question for you... sent you PM

[Matt Dupuis]

A longer rod reduces piston-to-bore friction, improves combustion by holding the piston at TDC and BDC for longer duration

Grrrr!:rant:

[S90R]

No, do not open it moore! I would close the gap between cylindres

[acbarnett]

since whatever might be between them would be in compression, would wedging aluminum sheets into them work as a viable solution?

[JW240]

since whatever might be between them would be in compression, would wedging aluminum sheets into them work as a viable solution?
i'd say, at least wedge a strong steel insert, preferably cnc made, between them, with a tight fit.
or weld the gap closed with a TIG, but that probably causes a lot of stress. preheat, then weld

[acbarnett]

I was thinking liquid nitrogen the block to shrink it a bit, then drop the pieces in (while frozen too) and let the whole thing thaw at it's own pace

[thelostartof]

because everyone can do that in thier garage?

[acbarnett]

you can get niquid nitrogen from any chemical supply company...

[EricF]

You guys in Sweden with way too much power to use the first three gears need to find a way to put some big R-compounds or racing slicks in the back ;)

Incredible car, well done.

[the poi]

No, do not open it moore! I would close the gap between cylindres
Do you have any pictures of the failed block? Or do you know exactly how failure took place? I'm having a hard time seeing how those small channels were the source of the problem!

[JW240]

I was thinking liquid nitrogen the block to shrink it a bit, then drop the pieces in (while frozen too) and let the whole thing thaw at it's own pace
that is a very good idea! LN2 is indeed very easy to get. just go to the hosptal, university or chemical supply shop.
a c02 fire ext could do the job too. not nearly as cold but maybe enough

[acbarnett]

a friend and I were going to do that to install an aluminum sleeve girdle in his 944 turbo's engine. We ended up not doingit because he ditched it and got a 944S2 instead.

[Boosted2003]

why not just sleeve the 3.0l block to make it down to around 2.8l

[Tilstar]

Inspiring stuff!

What gearbox/drive train are you using to hold 420 Horses?

[77240dl]

Ill Take 2

[foggyjames]

weld the gap closed with a TIG
That's what the guy here with the 550bhp (crank) T5 did. But he also did it at 16psi...mainly thanks to some amazing headwork, and a high redline. IIRC the torque figure was slightly less impressive.

cheers

James

[grebnut]

Impressive! I like that... I was almost ready to do the same thing to my car about a year ago actually! Just couldn't cough up the money for the motor in time. Looks great man!

Now that's a lot of welding. That wouldn't be very fun on an old dirty block, would definitely need some sandblasting before it would be clean enough to fill in. It would be fun though!

Nice car dude. What trans are you using. Actually do you have a website with a build up of your car. I have so many questions I don't have the room on this thread. How the hell do you drive that thing in the snow BTW.

Trans is more than likely the Toyota V160... Maybe the R154 off the 1JZ....

S90R- I am guessing you have JDM engine. You removed the ceramic turbos for single turbo setup. Are you going to get rid of the those small profile JDM cams in place for some USDM or HKS cams?

Too bloody right that's an expensive gearbox... I wanted to put a 2JZ in my car, so with an automatic, the engine, trans, etc was about 2500-3000 Canadian. With the 6 speed, couldn't find one for less than 6000.

[S90R]

I bought gearbox for about 2 years ago. I got it cheap because it was broken. So I rebuildt it.
Engine is a Euro- spec. I belive it is the same as US spec. Engine is bone stock, just with bigger injectors, header, T66 turbo, Autronic SMC and MSD Dis4 ignition

So where'd you get Bilsteins for the front?

[S90R]

From a shop here in Norway.
P36-0292 is the partnumber

Ahh, so it's a pre-95 960? What about the rears?

[S90R]

Yes, 91 model.
Bilstein B46-1662 in the rear. Soon its coilovers in front and rear

ok S90R, thanks for the info!
too bad volvo uses such a weak rods.... :(
rods: around 300-340 hp (T5)
head flows enough for 450+ hp
pistons: 500+ hp (T5)
crank and block: One1 Million horesepoweer :evillaugh:

We've got an S80 T-6 block with a bent rod sitting outside. Came out of a 99 T-6 bone stock. Customer was driving on the interstate and it started missfiring. Bent rod. No idea why it happened. We dropped another motor in it back in january. According to the parts department the rods are all the same from T-6 to non Turbo. Reason customer went with a junk yard motor is it was cheaper then paying labor to rebuild. We'd like to keep the head (for a future customer who might break the timing belt) but the Block is forsale. Make offer. It's in Orlando.

that is impressive. we're learning quite a bit from you, sir.

yes that thing is gorgeous! love the color and sound!

[S90R]

Thanks guys :)

[Dug strickler]

That thing is BAD! In a good way of course.

[PetesDustyVolvo]

You don't happen to have any pics of putting the E36 M3 diff in the volvo mk1 IRS do you?

[amgine808]

All this talk about what the Volvo I6 can't do in comparison to the Supra I6 makes me want to keep my 940T as a daily driver and just buy a MKIII. Like this one http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/377753876.html

[hockey930]

I love this car

[foggyjames]

I dunno...stick a set of rods and pistons in a T6 motor and I reckon you've got a pretty badass motor, as hopefully Mr Wiita will shortly demonstrate. Supras are cool and all, but they're not exactly sleepers...if that's your thing.

cheers

Hey here is the scan, the article is about the Gatebil car show. Looked like you guys had a blast! I hope that some time I'll be able to make it to one of the Scandinavian car shows that you have over there. The ariel photo with all the burn outs is just an epic shot.

I will try, photo bucket only allows 800x 600 images, and i am not sure how much bigger the scanner image is. I will try it again later tonight

[klr142]

Don't use photobucket to host then. I can host if need be, klr142 at ovtuners dot org.

[ZyreX]

The whole article would be great! I like to read about our stuff from a foreigner's view.

[klr142]

I have those two images, but haven't gotten them loaded into the gallery yet. I'll do it tonight! :)

Picturing Volvos is quite enough of a culture shock for them...they couldn't feature ones with Volvo engines too ;-)
