As you already might know and see etc, i had a 1989 240 GLT (thread here: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=224875, that i was planning to swap the b230e with a b230ft that Mr. Chesh had leying around his garage... That never happened, and after quite alot of discussions etc, we have bought a 1991 244 GL with a ****ty and powerless b20e (i think)... So here it all goes!
The part/mod list so far:
Engine:
1998 B230FK with around 183k miles at the time of the swap.
Repainted Block, all cleaned, new gaskets, seals etc. Apart from that - Stock
Head was refurbed when i was planning to do the swap into the GLT, Stem seals replaced, valves relapped, skimmed to clean up the surfaces
Electric fan has been modified to go in the original radiator and a 3 way switch is located in the centre console near Hazard switch. Still not automatic as i never wired it in.
Mocal 13 row oil cooler mounted horizontally behind the grille, in perfect air flow, and plumbed into the original oil to water exchanger via thermostatic sandwich plate.
Turbo is a 16t from a 2004 v70 T5 with a blocked off Recirc valve (i LOVE chatter), Actuator bracket has been made to be able to run it in RWD fashion. Currently running actuator pressure, and when tested on the (closed) road - set at around 1.3 bar. The hot side has been destudded and has a 3 inch V-Band TIG'd onto it to ease the fitting and removing the downpipe. Downpipe has 2 bungs for Wideband and Lambda probes.
Exhaust is a full stainless steel 3 inch turbo back, V-Banded, with a single Box in the rear where the original under the fuel tank box is and comes out as 2x2.5 inch shotguns at an angle.
Stock intercooler, and piping for now. Looking into options about huge IC's and want to upgrade all the piping to 3". <== Already got a huge 600*300*100mm core 780mm intake to outlet intercooler with most of the piping and hoses etc... (can't weait to upgrade that as it is going to improve the driveability and response of the car)
Stock 016 AMM to be replaced with my home made 3" AMM.
I already have a 960 throttle body, just need to get the adaptor plate for it.
Stock injectors. Got clean and tidy Browntops and 4 bar adjustable FPR to go in with a fuel rail adaptor until i can get a proper fuel rail.
Fuel pump is an AEM 320LPH intank and no Inline fuel pump, for now, Which will be updated with a 044 320LPH pump and maybe a surge tank inbetween the two.
Transmission:
M90 adapted for 240 use by making a transmission mount out of the 240 crossmember and 940 Gearbox mount. (the gearbox is still a little bit too high, so it needs to be trimmed down where it sits on the x-member). The prop-shaft has been lengthened by 50mm by a propshaft specialists and repainted etc and the shifter linkage was shortened by 100mm too.
The Clutch is a LuK reboxed Sachs m90 Diesel clutch in a dog dish flywheel.
Suspension:
Stock for now apart from the 95% polybushed. Torque rods are Rose jointed. Axle bushings are original volvo, but i have kaplhenke racing sphearical bearings to go in.The panhard rod is still stock and lacks any rubber in the bushings. This will be addressed whenever i do the suspension.
Front Shocks:
Stock with 40mm Kilen lowering springs for now, but Gaz Coilovers with 8" 500lbs springs and E36 Camber plates are waiting to go in as soon as.
Rear shocks:
Stock, 40mm Kilen lowering springs for now, Gaz shocks adjustable racing shocks with 275lb springs and adjustable perches to go in as soon as i get the springs and perches.
Brakes:
Stock for now. Mintex discs + Pagid front pads and Mintex rear pads. Plans are for Mitsu EVO 6-9 Calipers all round with 336mm XC90 front discs and 330mm s60r rear discs.
Wheels:
Virgo 15x6" with 195/55 Nankang NS2 front and 205/60 unknown ditchfinders rear. Plans: Volk racing F-Zero Winning 17x8 225/45 Front 17x9 245/45 Rear.
Interior:
OMP Knockoff 360mm Deep used to be suede steering wheel, M90 gear stick. Stock cloth front seats, Leather comfy as fook rear GLT seat.
Stack Boost and oil pressure in the original Clock and lower blanked off spaces and a Stack Wideband + Digital Cheapo Volt Meter where the radio used to be.
Radio located in front of the gear shifter.
Hmm... Have i forgotten anything?? Erm... Should be fine!
Cheers, ADam
