Volvo 745 GL/T-90 +T
So i finally decided to make a project thread here of my swedish brick.
The project started with a free 745 90 "GLT" i got from a friend and a b23et block
i bought from another friend This was winter 2015 i started small with the engine.
And i got le car late 2016 but the process of putting it together,
started 2017 because other projects, so from here i got some goodies for the engine, Spec down below.
I know the car is dirty so i dont want to hear anything about it
engine:
B23et block
530 head not ported just milled
axt-275 cam
R-injectors
3" maf
0.9 bar of boost rips second gear on dry asphalt
kl crappy chips for injectors and maf
m46 sinter 6-puck 215mm and oem plate
I am going to register the car with turbo so it need to be as stock it can be
before i give it more speedparts and the things done to it now will not be
any problem to make it pass inspection.
But things i have waiting for it when its registered is:
Schwitzer s2b turbo
hks copy of 40mm wastegate
homemade exhaust manifold
578cc low resistance injectors
fekzen custom chips for another redblock but almost the
same as mine and E85
ported 530 head with stiffer springs
712 pressure plate and a 6-puck sinter 228mm
Interior:
colour black
half leather front seats
power windows in front will install rear later
power mirrors
765 fluff panels A-pillars and over front/back doors
and a pioneer avh-5700dvd as entertainment with stock speaker
for now
black headlamp headliner list in front around mid rear viewmirror and sunblockers
i dont know the word and i dont care
exterior:
us spec front signal/turn lights
us fender badge not mounted yet beacuse we need to have fender turnlights here
eggcrate grill
oem tail lights in sunk condition
945 trunk handle will get some paint before i mount it
Borbet A 17*8.5 ET13 and 17*10 ET20
Some pictures from the beginning to the end
all pics isn't the best quality
Fresh new paint on it
New W-pump and headgasket i think it's 2 years ago
so i cant remember everything
Axt cam installed
Picked up the shell at my friends place
In the garage
Test started but it didnt work for long
From the beginning i planned to have a flat flywheel that came of a 740 gle 85
but my 2.4 ring from an auto "flywheel" didnt got centered so it smashed my
vr sensor. Therefore we changed to a 2.4 wheel for the moment. I plan to use the flat
one at a later time if i dont make my 2.4 standard F-wheel flat instead.
So after the incident with the flywheel i prayed to redblock jesus for guidance that
the engine would start after the tragic event that occured with my vr sensor and it did.
So when it started and were driveable i took car of the boring brakes and i hate old brakes
It was one legged so i got hold of a g80 locker complete axle so i grinded almost all rust of it and sprayed with a paint gun beacuse i hate rust too
And also fitted a swaybar from a turbo car beacuse i didnt have one in the back.
Boring brakes done and so i continued with more fun stuff
My father gave me a set of wheels but they where not 5*108 and will not
fit any 740 with spacers maybe the front rims but not the rear ones .. But i like them so i drilled the hubs 5*114.3 instead
So now i can fit my borrbs on the car but a 5mm spacer in front will prolly do it.
When i change the tires to 215-40 instead of 235-40. rim is 17*8.5 ET13
My first outside pic of le car in the beautiful swedish summer
Of course us spec turn/signal lights is a must here in sweden so i ordered a set of em.
And a snowcap found its place on the car, also its stock length on the springs
Another future project for the engine done pic 1
Future project pic 2 got the idea from another one of this forum..
Saw his head with this made to it for a long time ago but i can't remember who
Bad ligthing bad pictures sadly
235-40 will perhaps be better than 255-45 sneek peak 1
Sneek peak 2
And now it was time for my drive axles to be redrilled in the right pattern.
Same day it was put together its tight but its perfect same on other side
And here i am.. Beacuse it didnt started last time i was going to take it in to work on it i havent done more but test fit of back wheels is done after so long time
springs chopped 1.5 coils on all 4 and no air in front tires so let the rake be.
Things iam going to do in near future is to change taillights beacuse they are sunk, Next is
making the bumpers black again and paint them i dont know what its called in usa
but in sweden its classic or GLE painted bumpers.
And of course chopping the springs and cut n weld my panhard bar for getting the rearaxle in center when lowered If not my rims will scrape. It's even going to get a shower
when its warmer outside and the winter is done!.
Sorry for my bad grammers but swedish is my first lang excuses
Some videos of my car is on this page TeamBr??let on facebook even some of my friends cars.
I will update as often it happens something to le car over and out.
