Atlanta +T meet, May 12th... in Atlanta

[740ATL]

Guys.... I dunno why I'm doing this... but I'm putting out a feeler to volunteer my apartment/garage/welder/engine hoist to host an Atlanta mini meet. The goal of this meet is to +T as many cars as possible.

As car owners, y'all are responsible for knowing what to bring. I have listed recommended oil feed/return fittings in this post.

This isn't a f-x my busted ass car meet... it's a turbo meet. Plan on getting your hands dirty.


WHERE:

Directions to my apartment.

2402 Harbor Pointe Parkway
Atlanta, GA 30350

Very easy to get to. From anywhere, get to GA 400. Exit 6 Northridge Rd. Get off GA400, bear to the right, go back over the top of 400 and straight all the way down the hill (about 1/4 mile) to Roswell Rd.
Hang a left (south) on Roswell Rd, go south about 1/2 mile... take a right at your second traffic light at Morgan Falls Rd. Go 1 mile down to the Harbor Pointe Apartment complex (also known as Hispanic Pointe...)
Follow the signs for 2402 and you're there.


WHEN.

Saturday May 12. Doors open when I wake up. 8am. First car there gets in the garage first for some turbo loving. Meet will spill into the 13th for those travelling from out of town and for those whose bricks ain't runnin' yet.

Parking at my apartment is a tad limited... so be creative. I will have my car parked along the side of the road... fill in behind me.


PM me for my cell phone number.


BYOB

over-21 to partake of BYOB

BRING MONEY Don't show up with $5 to your name and a car that won't run.

BRING STUFF
+T people will need an oil pan gasket, oil, coolant.

BRING TOOLS

If your car isn't at stage 0, you're welcome to come, but we won't be turboing it.

This is a +T meet. We wont' be fixing broken heater cores, transmissions, brakes, seals, etc. Read that again.

Bring common sense. I have no problem kickin yo ass out.

If you plan on having your car worked on... stop by a carwash and clean your engine bay first. There's nothing worse than being covered in grease by a 20 year old car. :run: Your car will not enter my garage without being reasonably clean.

Cars can only be in the air in my garage and in my driveway. You can work on a car outside my driveway, but it has to be on the ground.

THINGS TO BRING FOR THE +T WEEKEND.

Gang. Right now we have 4 +T people, and as many as six. That's a lot of work. Y'all have to be prepared, we have to work quickly and smartly in order to get everyone done.

We'll probably start by getting the oil return bung welded into each person's oil pan... this means the car goes in the garage, up on jackstands, we engine hoist the engine slightly, remove pan, weld in fitting, replace pan, reassemble, roll car out of the garage for the next one. This also means that +T people have priority in the garage. If you're bolting on a turbo to an existing turbo car, you can do that out in the driveway. ;-)

If we do oil returns first, everything else after that is basically a bolt on.

If you show up and your engine bay is a greasy mess, I'm going to send you off to the car wash to clean it. You MUST have a clean engine bay and crossmember. Period. It's not coming into my garage if it's a mess. Sorry. :)

If we have time, we can fix other problems... but this is going to be a +T meet... not a "hey I also have this other problem" meet. You know what I'm talking about.... "hey, my heater core is leaking", or "hey, my rear axle is making popping sounds", or "hey, my engine is making this knocking sound". If your car isn't already at stage 0, then don't bring it. I'm not kidding. :)

If we get the oil returns done, then we'll start cracking on making downpipes for all the 240 people.

OK... oil return stuff. T3 people can use the oil return fittings I mentioned previously.

There's another option for oil returns... I spoke to a person yesterday who had a mitsu td05 and didn't realize the oil feed/return lines were completely different.

So... here's the minimum you need to bring.

http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=STF%2D8807&N=700+4294859977+4294859887+4294859650+115&autoview=sku

this is a weld-in steel bung with a 1/2" NPT female threads. It's the most general option available. Also remember to pick up a 1/2" NPT plug just in case.

http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/stf-8807_w.jpg

The other option is the 10AN weld-in bung.

http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/large/aer-fbm2872_w.jpg

240 people must bring a 740 downpipe... or the parts necessary to make a downpipe. I ain't Summit Racing.

Bring something to sit on.

Bring your own beer.

Bring a box of zipties. Bring electrical tape.

Bring money to get yo ass home!

Mike

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

hmm. how bout a twin cam swap?

[jpbturbo]

What time you thinking about doing this Mike?
I could be down.
I even got my 242 running yesterday but it's already a T HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no +T here.
I've got a real Turbo engine!!!!
Muahahahahah
K-jets is da bomb though, after sitting for a year and a half it started right up, once I bypassed the apparently faulty fuel pump relay and once I hooked the coil up correctly(haynes manual ftw).
Not bad considering the gas in it was a year or so old when I got the car in 2005.

[740ATL]

This weekend is out... obviously... I'm driving up North.

But the next several weekends are open... how does the 21th sound?

and I'm game to whatever... 16v swap... megasquirt.... +T.... it just has to be epic.

[wildmanben]

I'll be there as long as it's not the last weekend in April, and I'm always happy to work on others' cars. It's been too long since I've attended a meet.

edit- 21st sounds great to me!

-Ben

[blkaplan]

cobble like its hot

[740ATL]

no cobbling allowed... we're professunals.

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

But the next several weekends are open... how does the 21th sound?

and I'm game to whatever... 16v swap... megasquirt.... +T.... it just has to be epic.

epic sounds good....i have a few ideas.

I'll get with you on them in a bit.

[740ATL]

Mark, I like this idea a lot....

[Chris_R]

Makes me wish I had something to +t...

Let me know when it's 3" DP/exhaust day. :lol:

I may still want to show up/help/point and giggle.

[chree]

Guys.... I dunno why I'm doing this... but I'm putting out a feeler to volunteer my apartment/garage/welder/engine hoist to host an Atlanta mini meet.

I'd love to help wrench... I'm in unless I have a scheduling conflict. I'd like to see you tig weld something. I can only make bird poo with my flux welder.

before I leave (yes, leave ATL)

Man I hate that.

I want to hold a mini meet in my shared garage to +T someone's car.

I have most of the parts to +T my Volvo (T72, exhaust manifold, flanges, etc.)... but since its my daily driver I should probably stick to NA V8 power (plus LT1s have 10 to 1 compression). The turbo parts are being gathered for my El Camino (http://personal.atl.bellsouth.net/c/l/clindh/webpage.htm) (currently tuning the Megasquirt... baby steps, baby steps).

beer will be provided (I haven't had a chance to use my keg tap since I've been in ATL...

Uh... did somebody say beer :cheers:

[Gene_GaTech]

hey mike
wanna do my 15g?!??!

[benflynn]

im game if my cylinder head comes back from the ms, but the drive might add 'swapp a clutch' to the day, i could bring parts too if needed

and if we need i can go buy a volvo for us to +t, maybe

or finish my ms2, or put in a locker, or maybe i could buy some camber plates, or we could +T the 325is

[wildmanben]

Hey I think this is my first meet being of age- yay. Speaking of which- has anyone here done the Sweetwater tour, and is it any good?

Also, will there be chances to ride in the 16V turbo? Riding in a dream car sounds like about the next best thing to building one...

I have no serious projects that need to be done, so my services are at the disposal of others.

[ikyikthe1st]

I would have to know a date soon so I could ask off work...but I would definitely come if a car to work on is found.

[linuxman51]

Sounds like fun, keep me posted.

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

Heres the deal. I've got a partially wrecked, yet still running (bad fuel prob)
90 740. its got a skinny rod motor, so that will need to be swapped....

I also have:

Welded 4:10 diff from a 90 16v wagon
spare aw71 transmission
60/63 with ported manifold. also spare 13c
spare heads (530).
spare MSNS harness.


Anyway, the idea is to build a quick, fast, cheap dirty, stripped out drag car in 24 hours. Then drag it to a track and run it down the 1/4 mile to a 13 or 12 sec pass, for as long as it holds together.

We'd need a few pieces to make it work, but nearly all the parts going into it are spares or discarded. Between myself, mike h and the rest of the ATL crew, we could build a fun, cheap fast car and make some nice videos of it before it eventually destroys itself.

Kinda like the turbocontainern' project only with a far more strict budget and time constraint.

edit: there are a few things i'd have to check on as far as the car is concerned, but if not, I know of a few other willing victim 740s we could use....

[VolvoPunch]

I will do it! :hyper: I was plaining on pulling a 93 and doing a +T to it but maybe we could +T my current car and if it blows up then so what. I was going to rebuild a 93 anyways. The only problem i see is that i have ZERO turbo parts. I have been at the junkyard off and on for about 6 mouths now and have not been able to find any parts. So i some one could help me find some or sell me some of your own then i would be game. How much do you think it will cost?

My current car is running but it failed emissions. It also has very little power so i think the cat might be clogged and i think the pistion rings are shot even through i have not done a compression test, but other then having the slowest car on the streets it runs fine.

I am totally game. :spin: I just need to get this part shortage problem solved.

On another note, why are you leaving the ATL?

[keep it sleeper]

I'd make teh trip

especially if teh idea above /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ is the plan : black_swede

[towerymt]

Then drag it to a track and run it down the 1/4 mile to a 13 or 12 sec pass, for as long as it holds together.
I've gifted you 5 extra months with my engine debacle, and you STILL haven't approached a 12sec pass. It's going to take more than a day of drunken cobbling to get there.

[benflynn]

depends on what you start with :)

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

I've gifted you 5 extra months with my engine debacle, and you STILL haven't approached a 12sec pass. It's going to take more than a day of drunken cobbling to get there.

oh, the cobbling isn't the only plan. Keep watching the project cars section....until then

mike knows what i'm talking about.

SHUT YO GOT-DAMN ASS UP!

[740ATL]

I like what we've come up with.

Gene... the 15g sounds good. Do you have a downpipe? wg flange?

Volvopunch... Lots of 740's in the JY... I was just at pap yesterday and there several 740tics with nice chunks of stuff left. It would be best if you could compile some parts between now and then if you're serious... That and you will need to come up with some $$ to buy oil feed/return parts... about $150. figure $40 for exhaust. You'll need injectors, the fuel and ignition computers, IC pipes, IC, IC upper/lower brackets.

Mark... I like the 13 second volvo idea... I think if we all work together we can pull something like this off.

BTW... Mark... your car runs :-D

[wildmanben]

I too think we stand a chance at pulling off the 13 second brick in 24 hours. And no need to worry about 'drunken cobbling,' we've all got to be able to drive home at the end anyway (well all but Mike). Plus, several of us have a lot of experience with megasquirt (although if Kenny comes, none of that would even matter :-P).

[smurf244]

you have a PM, sir.

Adam

[MikeJr.]

me likey Volvo meets and beer.

[740ATL]

Ok... I have two willing +T participants.... one lacks all the parts, and the other lacks the turbo... they have a couple weeks to acquire parts.

I have a goodly amount of +T odds and ends, but the bulk of the core parts should come from y'all. You're both doing 240's... so we can either make a new downpipe, or we can make a 740T downpipe fit... choice is yours.

Oil feed/return parts will come out to about $150...

Don't worry about ancillary stuff like the oil cooler for now... you can always add that later.

If you have LH2.4, you'll need the turbo LH2.4 stuff.

Adam... you have lh2.2... I'm going to make you a chrysler-to-EZK117k conversion kit... what you'll need to do is acquire a LH2.2 740 turbo ignition computer and we're good.

Mike

PS...dates... the 21st of April is good... What about the first or second weekend in May?

[badvlvo]

I'd love to come and help wrench, but too long of a drive.

You are obligated to post many pictures and videos.

[wildmanben]

14th, 15th, 21st, and 22nd are the days I can make.

-Ben

[smurf244]

Do you happen to know the computer numbers for the turbo lh 2.2? I have I guy who has boxes of Volvo computers and all I need to do is tell him the number.
The 21st of April works the best for me as of now.

Thanks,
Adam

[towerymt]

I have LH2.2 Turbo 541 ECUs. Cheap too.

[stylngle2003]

i have a lot of +T oem stuff i am going to get rid of... injectors, ecu/icu, harness stuff, AMMs, turbo airboxes, an extra IC, etc....i need money more than i need this stuff, so anyone interested, make me an offer and i'll see what i can do

[Gene_GaTech]

I like what we've come up with.

Gene... the 15g sounds good. Do you have a downpipe? wg flange?



yeah its all already on there, i have all new hardware and seals as well.
I really have a more pressing install. A working transmission.

I don't know if you saw my DP thread in Performance.

i'll keep myself updated on this thread

[Gene_GaTech]

oh **** that sucks, i'm out of town april 21st :-(

if someone wants the 13c for their +T they can have it when i throw on my 15g.
but i won't be there.

very very very very sad

[linuxman51]

really, how long does it take to slap a turbo and chips on a 240? there's your 13 second car ;)


Sounds good, i'll try and keep that weekend clear, shouldn't be a problem.

[RoadRacer4Life]

Mike where are you going? i guess i missed that post or somthing?

[740ATL]

I got a job...:-D in NJ.

Been crazy busy moving/packing... actually driving a carload up sometime today if I can ever get my car loaded.

I'm officially out by June 1, but I'll be back for SE. :nod:

[linuxman51]

and as far as oem +t stuff, uhm, yeah wait never mind. I might have a few things laying around that I could bring, if you guys could throw down some hard needs that would further your cause.

Parts to buy:
elring exhaust manifold gaskets
oil pan gasket
oil pump o-rings

Gallons of brake parts cleaner, purple power, a bag or two of kitty litter, and cardboard.

if you're f+t'ing a 240, its a good time to do motor mounts as well./

[740ATL]

Also... if you guys have any loud obnoxious music, air horns, etc.... it would be great to bring them so we can piss off all 3000 of my illegal immigrant hispanic neighbors that have made my life so miserable these last several years. Open exhausts would work too.

[benflynn]

my brother is in NJ

[MikeJr.]

really, how long does it take to slap a turbo and chips on a 240? there's your 13 second car ;)
A 13 second car requires a 13 second driver.

[towerymt]

A 13 second car requires a 13 second driver.
and a car that will hold up for 13 consecutive seconds.

[MikeJr.]

and a car that will hold up for 13 consecutive seconds.
Exactly! :-P

btw mike you need to reschedule the meet, the annual warehouse party is the 21st :-/


edit: Bitches.

[ikyikthe1st]

Ha, I can cover part of your loud music need....BTW, I still have my mitsu 12b laying around, it just needs a turbine housing if someone wants to buy it for their +T.

[BDKR]

If there is space for one more car and the date works, I'm game. I don't remember seeing a date in there. Did I miss it?

Anyway, the only thing I'm missing are send and return lines for oil and water. I don't think that's too much of an issue really.

You have much straight 3" pipe hangin' around. I have a super turbo to do duty in the rear and a 3" cat as well. The DP that I'll use is a modified 740 unit that will fit in a 240 without banging the firewall and a relocated 02 sensor. It flares to 3" once it gets under the car heading back.

I just need to make sure I can find my -90 manifold (going to use a td05-12b).

Let me know. This sounds like fun.

[MikeJr.]

I just need to make sure I can find my -90 manifold (going to use a td05-12b).
I have one. You can have it if you want.

[MikeJr.]

If we can get together early enough we should all go to pull-a-part first. That way everyone might be able to get the parts they need.

[BDKR]

I have one. You can have it if you want.

Cool! I'll let you know if I do. :)

If we can get together early enough we should all go to pull-a-part first. That way everyone might be able to get the parts they need.

And that's not a bad idea either.

[jpbturbo]

I also have a 90- mani I don't need.

[mikes02ls1]

I don't have anything to be turboed but want to BS with some fellow Volvo folks. Only if that is cool with you 740ATL.

[VolvoPunch]

I am plaining on going to pull a part in Coleny this weekend.

[740ATL]

Sounds good guys. All are welcome.

To the +T guys... you may want to pick up a transmission while you're at pap... esp. those of you with an AW70... find a 740T that was bashed in somewhere... smell the tranny fluid. If it's not burnt, it's a good candidate. Can't beat it for only $50.

I'm in NJ... and I forgot to bring a jacket and a hat.

[Chris_R]

There was a really nice 940T at PAP in Norcross/Duluth. Tranny and motor still present on both. but no other +t parts up there... I couldn't even find any oil/water lines for my 15g.

[MikeJr.]

I'm going to both PAPs tomorrow if anyone wants to meet up.

[VolvoPunch]

I was at the PAP in Norcross Monday and the 240 and 740 cars are worthles. I did not see even one turbo car while i was there. So i am hoping the one south of atlanta will be better. I should be going there saturday.


I'm in NJ... and I forgot to bring a jacket and a hat.

But you have Volvo heat! :spin:

[Chris_R]

I was at the PAP in Norcross Monday and the 240 and 740 cars are worthles. I did not see even one turbo car while i was there.


:wtf: Really?

There were no turbos, but there were TONS of turbo cars.

Conley is supposed to be hyuuuge compared to Norcross, and Norcross is pretty big!

Mike, wish I could go - I need a guide to take me to Conley for my virgin visit (I can hardly find my ass with both hands and a huntin dog!), but I have family stuff all day.

If you find the water/oil lines for my 15g swap will you grab them for me please? Or one of those MSD boxes? :rofl:

Thanks!

[wildmanben]

I'm learning that lesson the hard way right now, so I second this! I've got to baby my AW70 for about a month before I can get back to Richmond and swap trannies.

-Ben

[BDKR]

OK.... 21st is very bad as I have someplace to be at 9 AM on the 22nd. And remember, I'm down here on the central west coast of Florida. :omg: What's the earliest we can get to your house? Is Thursday night OK?

If you guys do the 13th, 14th, 15th.... that would be awesome.

Cheers

[740ATL]

Ditto to what Chris said. Buford is a bit picked over... but they still have turbo cars... Conley is huge compared to Buford and is worth checking out.

I was serious about picking up a spare tranny... :) Even if you just keep it in your garage...

I have a 12b turbo+manifold that I can sell to one of you for cheap if you can't get your hands on a turbo. The only thing I don't have are the oil feed/return lines.

I can probably put together a 42/48 T3 plus 90+ housing for a small fee... but I think I lack a cold-side housing and a wg housing... there's always that atp-turbo contraption I made...

I'd like to keep the meet just Saturday... I'm insanely busy with work-moving-packing, etc.... so a one-day meet is going to have to be where it's at... if we spill over into Sunday finishing up the installations, that's cool... but I'm kicking yer asses all out at 9pm Sunday night. ;)

Who's still on? How about my +T people? How are you doing parts-collecting?

[VolvoPunch]

I am still at stage zero when it comes to collecting parts. My family has been at my house this whole week and when they were leaving Friday evening my ant had an accident (Pictures) (http://picasaweb.google.com/swedishvolvo/Accident07) with her van. She ran into the curb big time and fractured three studs on the van wheel while blowing out the tire. So i had to change the tire as best i could so that the tow truck could take it to the shop for repairs. Then we spent all day today making sure it got fixed so that they could go and give us some peace :roll:

Hey dude... not to worry. At the very worst, maybe we could just get the oil return fitting welded into your pan.... then, in the future, once you collected the parts, the +T swap is trivially easy. Just watching and seeing what needs to be done will be very helpful... and fun.

Mike

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

It would be far easier for me to make this in may. And if anyone is seriously considering my idea of building the 13/12 sec car for a day, it would be easier for me to procure a victim by that time. Finals time for me and its kickin my ass.

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

Also... if you guys have any loud obnoxious music, air horns, etc.... it would be great to bring them so we can piss off all 3000 of my illegal immigrant hispanic neighbors that have made my life so miserable these last several years. Open exhausts would work too.

by that time, hopefully my 940's stereo will make its re-debut. I say in addition to open DPs and drags, we have some decibel drags as well.

1400w and woofers ftw.

[740ATL]

I'm down also for 1st or 2nd weekend in May. Maybe May is better? More time to collect goodies?

[MikeJr.]

Sounds good guys. All are welcome.

To the +T guys... you may want to pick up a transmission while you're at pap... esp. those of you with an AW70... find a 740T that was bashed in somewhere... smell the tranny fluid. If it's not burnt, it's a good candidate. Can't beat it for only $50.

I have a very good AW71 for $50 if anyone wants it.

[MikeJr.]

Mike where are you going? i guess i missed that post or somthing?
Yes we are losing a very important part on the ATL and the SE crew as a whole. Mike is a great guy and a great fabricator, mega squirter, and aluminum tig welding fool. He will be greatly missed by me and the rest of the ATL crew.:-(

QFT.

[MikeJr.]

We should rap this meet up at http://www.andrettispeedlab.com/ It is an awesome carting track not to far from Mikes place. And they have a full bar :oogle:

[BDKR]

I have a very good AW71 for $50 if anyone wants it.

Can you stand by on that one? If they do move it to May, I'd like a shot at it. I'll just roll up with the '70 and back with the '71. :)

[MikeJr.]

Yeah its good. Very very clean.

[740ATL]

Hey, I'm kinda liking the May thing... shall I end the feeler and make it official? 1st or 2nd weekend in May?

[VolvoPunch]

Hey, I'm kinda liking the May thing... shall I end the feeler and make it official? 1st or 2nd weekend in May?

May would be better for me because it would give me more time to collect parts.

[benflynn]

1/4 in atl?

[BDKR]

The 2nd weekend would work for me if you guys are OK with that. Like say the 11th or 12th? But whatever you guys want to do. :)

[Gene_GaTech]

second week sounds better for me :-D

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

1/4 in atl?

kinda...there is one in commerce, but its about 60 miles up the road.

oh and second week in may is good

[Gene_GaTech]

ok guys srsly,
i need an m46, and i needs it now. who's got a good one?

[Plutonium]

Yes we are losing a very important part on the ATL and the SE crew as a whole. Mike is a great guy and a great fabricator, mega squirter, and aluminum tig welding fool. He will be greatly missed by me and the rest of the ATL crew.:-(

Hate to see you go, but Jersey? (originally from the nyc)

I think some parts of Jersey are nice. Newark isn't on that list.

[BDKR]

Yeah its good. Very very clean.

Thanx Mike! :)

ok guys srsly,
i need an m46, and i needs it now. who's got a good one?

one at the pnp b'ham

one at the pnp b'ham
if i drive over, will you give me a hand and pull it this week?

[740ATL]

Gene, I have one in my garage.

[VolvoPunch]

I have a very good AW71 for $50 if anyone wants it.

I want it. I will give you fifty five dollar's :omg: Can't touch this

[Gene_GaTech]

Gene, I have one in my garage.
ok i'll send you a PiMp. Any chance i could grab it this week? I can't drive my dang car :-D

[smurf244]

I work on the weekends so can we please make a final date so I can request that day off.
Also if any one has a AW71 or a M47 to sell and if we think we can put it in in 1 day with the +TI then shoot me a PM.

Thanks,
Adam

[benflynn]

if you have to come down i can help, weekdays are better fo me tho

[sweetswede]

I'm there. I need a diff welded on the SE and I NEED megasquirt. The bigger turbo won't be happy with no fuel. Ha, I need a T5 swap while we're at it. How about cutting springs?

[smurf244]

This is starting to sound more then just a 1 day +TI event.

[benflynn]

i could use a weld my self

[740ATL]

Hey Guys,

Still in NJ... going to be on the road in 2 hours... gonna try to do the 14hr drive to ATL in one shot.

Gene, sometime later this week for the tranny is fine.

Not sure if my welder is capable of welding diffs... it's just a little lincoln 140. I do have some flux core wire we could try for that... but ehh..

Cutting springs is fine... T5 swap... eh... unless you've got the driveshaft fitted, not such a good idea.

And May 12th it is... it's official.

[linuxman51]

sweet may 12th. should have no problems making that.

[linuxman51]

addendum: i have agreed to install an m$ in jake's volvo (poor soul), how many of these things will be going in and what base maps will I need to bring?
(also, whats the shipping on the underpan for a 240?)

[Chris_R]

Of course it's May 12th - my Son has a baseball game that day. It's over at Noon though so I may try to swing down after lunch.

Josh, you can borrow my spring compressors, metal-cutoff wheels and Dremel anytime.
I think I'm gonna need to cut a spring or 2 when I get the new car(s). :oogle:

I'll just have to be there in spirit as I would have to fly across the country to make it. Now if only my tuning "skills" were as valuable as Kenny's and could win me a flight... lol.

Best of luck Mike in your move to Jersey! Seeing as you're not allowed to pump your own gas there, make sure the 240 doesn't fool pump attendants into giving you the low-grade stuff.

As I am collecting parts I have stubble on a find that I need advice on choosing:
AW71 from a 90 740 with 175000 miles
M46 from a '84 245 with 135000
Auto tranny from a 960 (RWD) with 160000 miles

The price is not a concern for me and the fluid in all of them looked good and didn't have a bunt smell or anything. Ether one I choose, I will be getting the peddles from the 245. So which one should I choose and what do I need to get along with that tranny?

That 960 tranny should be completely wrong for you. Whiteblock inline-6.

The rest is basically whether you want auto or stick. My AW71 has over 200k on it and still shifts nice. I'm still under 200HP though (174?).

I am gathering parts at the moment i have a 90+ Turbo exhaust mainifold but i should have all the parts by the deadline. Anyways when are talking about turbo oil lines for a n/a B230F we can ether drill into the oil pan for these or i can pull these oil lines off an 740 turbo block right? And they will work?

Also, I may be getting a turbo form the 7 seres I mention earlier.
I need a resistor pack for me green tops and I what to know how it looks and way it is in the 7 series I am getting parts off of; Is it that relay looking thing be hide the drivers side headlight with all the green wires going to it?
Anyone need any parts off of these vehicles, I can get them for you.

2) Will we have the ability to do the exhaust system while we are there? I have the cat, dp, and rear turbo muffler. I just need some of the sections in between. I can buy pipe and a couple more band clamps, but are there any manly men that can do a little welding while we are there?

Zach.

I think we can make a 740turbo DP work... by cutting/rewelding. We can also make it merge back into your factory system so you won't need to do the entire 3" exhaust system right now.

Yes, you need the radiator/IC upper and lower brackets from a 240tic or 740tic... as well as the IC piping (this must come from a 740 tic... I can probably help one or both of ya out in this area).

Turbo is up to you... whatever you can get ahold of... I would recommend a garrett T3. The oil feed fitting will work with the T3... I'm not sure what fitting is required for a mitsu 13c or equivalent.

The oil lines will add up to about $100... but is something that will last the life of the car.

Remember when you get the injectors, to also get the ballast resistor and about 1 foot of the wiring. This is found on the driver's side inner fenderwell of 740tics...

Yes... bring an oil pan gasket and some oil... DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE OIL COOLER RIGHT NOW! 240 people must use the oil cooler lines from a 240turbo... haven't seen any of them at PAP for a while now... it's not a deal breaker.

PS... Conley just got in a new row yesterday.

[RvolvoR]

i have both a garrett T3 and a 240 turbo stock downpipe, if those are of any help

[BDKR]

I'm not sure what fitting is required for a mitsu 13c or equivalent.


Assuming he still has the banjo bolts, he could do something like this.

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-FTG-018&Category_Code=BCS

This is based on the idea of TD04's and TD05's both using 12mm banjo bolts, which I'm pretty sure is correct. I'll double check when I get home.

As for a feed, I take mine now (on Sylvanna) from the front of the block and that's what I'm going to do this time as well. It's a 1/4 NPT to 4AN adapter.

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-OIL-006&Category_Code=OIL

There is another option if you have the hard lines (sounds like The Matrix). You can adapt the the steel hard lines to the braided line. I know that doesn't sound like anything at all so I'll just take pics when I get home. :)

As for the cut and welding the 740DP, you are right on the money. That's how mine is setup and it worked perfectly.

I'll probably be at PAP sometime in the next two weeks, I'll keep an eye out for useful +T stuff.

[BDKR]

Here is another option on how to do oil supply lines. You can see the braided line going into a series of adpaters that on the other side connects to what was once an OE hard oil line. It's essentially a compression fitting on the end of the hard line. Works great (meaning it doesn't leak a drop)!

Anyway, I think I'm the only Mitsu guy in this so hopefully this will help someone else at another time. :)

[Plutonium]

If anybody be interested, I have a couple of intercoolers. One is out of my 760, the other out of my 242. (Also hosing, etc.)

Lets set up a junkyard meet down in conley, anybody game?

The day before?

[VolvoPunch]

Will this oil drain flange from summit work for the +T?
Here (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=TNT%2D20259&N=700+4294798675+115&autoview=sku)

Later,
Adam

My goodness these pieces cost a lot. Something like that should cost, what $5 bucks at most. :grrr:

[smurf244]

Sounds like an 1800.

We have a winner :party:
I am posting up a thread about it. I have not decided yet if I will get it.

I now also have the flange order and I am off work the 12th but not the 13th so we will have to make this work in one day; at least for me.

Later,
Adam

[Justin922]

The 22nd? This coming sunday, say in the morning early?

[VolvoPunch]

I just got back from the pullapart in Conley. I grabs some green injectors (I was not sure which wires were the ballast resistors so i did not pull any. Do you have a picture?) , jetronic full computer from an 88 740 turbo wagon, and some bottom brackets for the radiator and intercooler. I could not find the top ones. Did i get the right full computer? Where on the car will i find the ignition computer and what does it look like.

The pullapart in Conley is so much better then the one in Norcross. I have gone to the pullapart in Norcross about 5 times and i have never seen any turbo Volvo's there.

I was not sure about the 740 DP so i did not grab it. The DP is what the turbo exhaust goes into right?

I will update my parts list.

I need to find a aw71L is you are up for looking and pulling one of those.

If either of you guys are going to yank a 71, let me know your service charge. It's looking like it's going to be very tough for me to get out to the boneyard before the meet. :-(

[wildmanben]

Don't mean to change the subject, but while we're all together do any of you Atlanta people have a set of pedals for a manual 240? Have you seen any in either of the junkyards? Good luck with your parts collection!

-Ben

[smurf244]

Can y'all pull me a AW71 for me too? I still can't get off work to go to the junkyards.

Adam

[BDKR]

I officially retract my request for this. I can see that you guys have enough work to do. ;-)

However, if anyone is going the day before, I'd love to know. :)

On another note, does anybody have the bolts that run throught the -90 manifold and into the TDO5 housing?

Cheers

[740ATL]

OK +T people... here's what we're going to do to your oil return lines (assuming you have T3 turbos...

I swapped vehicles with my buddy in NJ... I'm in the process of +T'ing his 244... mocked up the oil return lines this weekend using the fittings I described above... here's what yours will look like... nevermind the splatter.

eh... I've had bad luck driling/tapping. Plus I already had the return line assembled from an earlier project... so....

[BDKR]

eh... I've had bad luck driling/tapping. Plus I already had the return line assembled from an earlier project... so....

I can understand that. I've had bad luck with things too. I drilled the block the last time, but this time for convenience and easy, I'm going to do something very similar to what you've done. I'll just need your welding manliness. ;-)

[VolvoPunch]

Here is what i still need so far.

Ignition computer from a 740 turbo
Intercooler
top radiator/IC mounts
Grab the IC piping from a 740?
740 DP
A Turbo (What type/model)

I think i should be able to find Ignition computer, 740 DP, and maybe the top brackets for the IC/Radiator at the junk yard this weekend but i don't think i am going to find the turbo tubing, turbo or intercooler. So i kind of need to know if i can buy some of this stuff off of any of you. Or what i can do about getting this stuff.

Thats where i stand as of now.

Also when is the meet, and were are the directions.

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

drilling is somewhat tough unless the engine is outside of the car, you've got a hefty drill and some good bits. That being said, I tapped my block for it. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but if it is inside the car, just tap the pan.

edit: my mistake lol

outside of the block....eh?:wtf:

[benflynn]

i drilled mine out w/drill running off the 12v power converter, took a long long long time, and getting the hose right is a b1tch

[MikeJr.]

Drilling the block is a pita, but it is a nice way to go. Heres a pic of mine

this is why I don't do block-mount returns... I am the suck with the drill. http://www.pbase.com/740atl/image/48269942

LOL! Oh yeah I remeber that. :-P

yech... kinda makes me ill to see it this early in the morning... what a mess that was.

PS to all:nod:... I have a pressure washer.

[BDKR]

Wow! It's amazing that all you guys had such a hard time drilling the block. To me it was easy. I certainly understand the space issues though. I have two drills....the larger having a half inch chuck. I wanted to use that drill to enlarge the hole in the block but it was too big to get into the space (this is talking about the car that's allready turbocharged). I'm prolly going to try again, but come up from underneath (I'm rebuilding the front suspension anyways so might as well while I'm there).

But that said, I just went slow and kept the surfaces from heating up and everything went well.

This time, I just want to take the OE return pipe, cut it in half, weld the lower half into the pan (which of course implies that I'll drill a hole in the pan for it), then use bs line to span the gap. I'm thinking about making it a little less ghetto by putting a compression fitting on the top of the return side to help reduce the possibility of leaking (like say from a line that's just clamped on the end).

But it's all good. I'm just looking forward to hangin' out and getting a chance to see people that I've chatted and argued with ( :rofl: ) for some time now. :)

[wildmanben]

That's what I was going to do first time right, but when I had a freind weld the return pipe into an extra pan for me, WE WELDED IT INTO THE WRONG SIDE!!! Wow I was so dumb! :rofl: :rofl:

I posted a few days ago in this thread that I had a couple of ic's with hosing. If your interested you might pm my brother TFT. There at his house in VA.

I am going to the junkyard in conley sunday morning. Anyone want to join me?

I am going to the junkyard in conley sunday morning. Anyone want to join me?

I would come but i am not sure if i will be dragged to church or not. Bummer you can't go Saturday.

[Chris_R]

I may take you up on that Justin. Few things have cropped up recently that I need for my 740s... Plus I just want to go to Conley for once. :)

[740ATL]

Well... Adam's got his turbo now. :) Early bird gets the worm... a good one too. Fresh 760turbo at the JY as of today.

Zach, you need to step up man... I have a TD05-12b and manifold I can sell ya for cheap... like $50 cheap for both, but I don't have the oil feed or return fittings... You would have to get a td05-12b return line from someone (maybe a 13c will work?) and we can make something work.

Adam... remember, if you take off that wastegate housing for whatever reason, you need to liberally douse it with PB Blaster!!

On that note... while I'm pretty busy this weekend... I might be able to start your +T earlier than the 12th... PM me if you're interested. We could get the oil pan installed... That would be a huge time saver.

What could we do with this thing to make it more fun? :lol:
Can't do the +Ti tell the 12th, I have requested that day off and can't change it.

Volvo Punch
I have an extra set of cold side innercooler piping that I can sell you. Also you can have the manifold in the pictures above.

Later,
Adam

[BDKR]

I think I'm going to change to a Garret. I have a Ford .60/.63, an extra CHRA with no housings, and a Nissan .42 AR 60 trim housing (300zx). I want to use the Nissan housing to see if my suspicions are correct about what it would do to spool time.

Advantages:
a) No coolant lines to deal with
b) Will mount on my extra 90+
c) The bigger hot side will prolly run cooler then a Mitsu

That said, can anyone tell me about the wastegate side? It's turbo is from a Ford right. Will the Volvo Garrett WG housings fit on in?

Cheers

[tequila_gundam_no_chaser]

I have a 13c for sale, and may *big may here* have a 60/63 t3 for sale as well by the time of the meet. Should my holset install go as planned.

Whats a TD05-12b? Is that a turbo? :oops:

Last call. Does anyone want to meet up at the pullapart in south Atlanta Saturday?

[benflynn]

ill bring a ghetto fab t3/t4, cheapest thing i can throw together

[benflynn]

That said, can anyone tell me about the wastegate side? It's turbo is from a Ford right. Will the Volvo Garrett WG housings fit on in?

Cheers

w/g housing from a volvo garrett will fit a 5bolt ford housing

port the wastegate port as much as you can, will help a lot

[Justin922]

I may take you up on that Justin. Few things have cropped up recently that I need for my 740s... Plus I just want to go to Conley for once. :)

I am going sunday morning early, My Dad is joining me as there is a spitfire there and he needs parts for his. We are driving his truck (GMC 2500HD Longbed) as he wants the frame if its in good shape. We will probably be there when it opens at 8 or shortly thereafter. I can't be down there more than a few hours. I will help with anything I can so let me know who to look for.

As far as me coming to the meet I can be there Saturday morning early until about 1pm or so as I have to go to a wedding up in the mountains at 4 and did anybody notice that this is also mother's day weekend? I can grab a couple of OEM parts if anyone can think of something needed for these jobs (gaskets, lines, hoses, tubing, etc..) I get a substantial employee discount and I would be happy to help

[VolvoPunch]

When is the meet? And where are the directions?

[740ATL]

Zach, the meet is May 12. Be here as early as you like... I'll have the coffee rollin. I normally wake up at 6am.

My humble apt. abode lies in the People's Republic of Sandy Springs. Off exit 6 on 400, South on Roswell Rd. Right on Morgans Falls. Easy easy.

[VolvoPunch]

Why are my questions being ignored :-(

[740ATL]

Zach.

A Td05-12b is a mitsubishi turbo found on some late 80's 740tics. It uses the pre-90 manifold. I have one and the manifold in decent condition. I don't have the oil lines.

A 13c is another mitsu turbo found on 90-later 740/940tics. It uses the 90+ manifold. If you whisper sweet-nothings to Mark, I'm sure he'll sell it to ya for cheap. You'll still need oil lines (not the ones I listed previously).

Mike

PS... lots of people have offered parts for sale in this thread... search back and get in touch with them with PM's.

[linuxman51]

I don't think i will need the manifold but if you could bring the piping to the meet that would be great.

Green toped injectors (Have) *Should i replace the seals? Where will i pick them up?


I will bring the pipes.
You should get new seals just to be on the safe side of things and I get get you a set for $5.00 an injector ($20 for all injectors). Also, did you get the resistor pack for those injectors?
I am getting my injectors cleaned and flow tested and I can give the number to the place if you would like.

how many +t are we gonna do now?

[Justin922]

Anybody have a slotted A-cam that they want to sell for cheap? Maybe Chris and I could get some nice hp+. If any of you guys want me to bring some Volvo parts from my dealership I need your requests by Thursday May 10 so I can order what we don't have. Seals and anything else that you take off to do anything will need to be replaced. Any other parts you might need or want prices for PM me with what you need and for what car year/model/trim.

Chris - I will be at the J/Y on Sunday right around 8am coming?
Anyone else interested?

[benflynn]

i would sell my slotted A if i could find something large

Everybody needs to go to Advanced Auto Parts or Auto Zone and buy a few spray bottles of Purple Power degreaser. Go to the car wash, let it cool down some, then spray down every square inch of the engine bay. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then spray it off with high pressure soap and water, then do it all again and rinse with high pressure water. Do this right before the meet. If it doesn't start after you do this call a tow truck.
Trust me you will be glad you did this.

[Chris_R]

Spray underneath the car too... and don't get any soap on mah donuts!!! :rant:

Yeah boy! This stuff is awesome. I use it for grease spills in the garage.

I degreased the engine about a week ago and at least I can see fer shizzle that I have a leaking front cam seal. Yeah, we may as well change that out while I'm up there. :)
