I decided after I sold my 740 I thought I would get another turbo brick and after 6 months of searching I found meself a near mint 91 940 turbo, But the problem i'm having with it is....from what i've read is fuel cut. Now I don't have a mbc on it and it's at stock boost settings. I recently changed the wastegate/fpr/ and stock boost gauge vacuum lines and it made a bit of a difference. Car doesn't idle bad or has any hesistation taking off. builds boost just fine :-D but if i floor it or it builds too much it feels like it hits a brick aka fuel cut:omg: would anyone know what would be wrong with it? i've searched on here and ppl are saying i needed to adjust the overboost switch but....it's at a stock setting. then i read on google and some are saying it's a stuck wastegate or bad diaphram? if it is where would i be able to get ahold of one?

Thanks Jack

error state presents as no start, battery is not dead, all electrics work, no clicking from starter. key turns, accessories on, then nothing when turning to the start position. nothing at all.

has happened twice now, one Tuesday morning ~3 min after sitting for ~90 min, having started prior to that after sitting overnight. did it again today, this time after sitting ~60 min, having started prior to that after sitting overnight.

first time it fired up on it's own after ~10 attempts. today I pushed the car and popped the clutch to start it in 1st, drove ~10 min and it doesn't want to start again. parked on a high point in the parking lot, so should be able to pop it to get home.

I'm assuming there is something going on in the ignition switch on the dash itself, perhaps a contact is worn, not rotating far enough, something. what should I check first ? I'm also not averse to being able to start it with a switch hidden under the dash if the right wires can be identified and used. the car isn't exactly a theft risk.

thoughts ? ]]> m ben http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215903 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215900&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:56:00 GMT Could anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced, alignment shop in Orlando for my '92 245? ]]> Marauder03 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215900 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215899&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:25:13 GMT I'm just getting into the turbobrick scene and need some advice. I have a mbc on the way and looked at the turbo to plan placement end saw that there are two boost/vacume lines on the turbo. The one on the top takes its measurement from the intake and the other from the compressor housing. Is the one on top the line I should install the mbc on?

today while driving home my rpms dropped from 2k to 0 suddenly and went back up and did it again so i let go of the gas pedal and started feathering the pedal so it wont stall on since i was on a main road stuck in rush hour traffic and lucky enough she snapped out of it and made it home

i cant think of why it would be doing this so any thought or ideas would be appreciated

Me and my father (experienced mechanic) just recently changed the timing belt and tensioner pulleys on my 850. there seems to be a belt noise coming from one of the crown face pulley tensioners. Is this normal, does this go away, should i be concerned since the engine is an interference engine? Both pulleys are brand new from volvo, so bearings shouldnt be an issue. I also changed the water pump. Anybody have any experience with this? Initially when we started the sound was not apparent and came in about 5 minutes into operation (we made sure to manually crank the engine around a few times to check for interference) We also used the procaution of using the cam locking tool and marking the timing marks.

Any ideas would be appreciated ]]> Col.Kalashnikov http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215894 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215891&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 04:11:58 GMT Hi, new to this forum.

Just to set the foundation, I changed both fuel pumps(AutoZone) about 6-8 months ago as they were both shot. I installed a new filter and strainer. Seemed to run fine up until about a month ago. Now it will just decide not to start here and there and has just up and died twice. It has always started back up after an hour or so. When it dies all the red and orange lights on the dash light up. It died once at freeway speed and once in a parking lot. I have not had it at my house when it wouldn't start, so I have not been able do any checking, like whether the pump is runs under the seat or if there is pressure in the fuel rail. The existing fuel relay was clicking but I changed it with an NOS one that was made in 1991, didn't make any difference. Has anyone had bad luck with aftermarket fuel pumps? The ones I put in were from AutoZone. Any problems with using an NOS Relay, as apposed to a new one from AutoZone? Any Ideas?

I've got 4 sirus wheels that need to be cleaned up. I initially thought of spray painting them but what are people's experience with powder coating wheels? How much did you pay and how has it/do they hold up?

Also, what colour(s) should I do?

So - anyone got any suggestions over which existing hole in the block might be best to use, if I want to measure oil pressure in the galleries that're going to the head? For example, I know there's a removable plug at the front of the block, which is the end of the gallery that is fed directly from the standard n/a car's oil-filter; but I don't know if there's clearance at the front for an oil-fitting when the belts & water-pump are installed?

Is there an equivalent plug at the back of the block - which I can get to without having to remove the entire exhaust-manifold etc? ]]> Forg http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215881 http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=215880&goto=newpost Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:34:01 GMT This is my 1982 244 turbo is a B21ET got some time ago but only now started working on it, still do not know much about it but I'm learning a lot.
