V-M

I collect some answers here: Pin is from volvo 23mm so that have to be re-done also for conrod top. Engine is Volvo B 230 FT also 230 ET will do but ET has smaller space in piston top. I'll have next week also set of ET pistons so I'll measure that to make it sure. That engine is used in 240,740,940 series In macinery shop gyus where bit confused when I requested that "grind this to 96mm" usually 2mm is max from original size. and now this is more than 4mm. Of cause walls are rather narrow now you can hear when knoking by finger inside of cylinder and comparing it between original and grinded one. No I'm no reseller, I have grind model for dani cam and I have sold my used one (of cause) and re done new for my self (I do know law). Only diffrence is from dani stage 1 to stage 2 is head. And seems at also dani original head has that same weaknes as normal ones. FPR is 3.2bar in dani set, it is normal 2.5bar FBR but has been pressed from top. actuator is stiffer. Rockers are standard in std and dani head. But grinded of cause has different "hit" angle to cam, that could be softened by using slash cabs ~2mm thikness is enough. Low rev. torgue is expected also and hp should not go over 300hp from engine, I have fear at torgue is over 450Nm and clutch will go off. If I buy this SPEC 0032 or 0033 clutch then gear or diff will give up. I'd have some speed up with std Cosworth sierra with my old set up Dyno curve and I get skin of head but it was close... but coswoth does 0-100 in 6.5sec and it did loose when we change to 2gear and speeded up, not much but still.

I forget about those spark plugs those are located at same place as original dani head and plug is 10mm thread -> NGK C8E Con.rod are machined also from top. Original is ~28mm wide and Volvo piston inner size is 24mm -> Con.rod were machined to 23.5mm. Pictures are coming... soon on site. One of my 505 turbo were sold yesterday -> 86 model with 183tkm and I was second owner, newer smoked inside and no speaker holes or anything extra. Also this evolution spoiler set were sold with it. Luckily new owner is ex. fighter pilot so he knows speed and requirements for it . He also ordered "dani" stage 1 set from me (cam, new rockers (at factory packets) and modified fuel regulator). V-M

I'll take pictures of my sample of adjustable gear. Only those 7mm bolts are missing V-M

I have used rings from Federal Mogul (Goetche) for std size. cost is ~180$ (150€) I have factory order for those. Those are good also. I have good experience Deves also, my Opel fiends (finish ones) are ordering rings for vauxhals and opels (old ones) and they are happy on products and delivery very good also. V-M

1. Yes, those are in my pages? 2. Currently yes 3. stock inj. (adj. pressure control added 1:1) but I hace set off saab 9000 2.3T injectors which are ~390cc/min in 3bar, stock ones are giving 324cc/min (0 280 150 200) in 3 bar. 4. That was strange thing! when I measured stock piston top it was 18ml and dani head was 50ml -> compressionratio was 8.78 Should be ~8 Volvo piston top was 19ml so compression ratio is 8.67 Could be at I need to grind some space in head to get it close to 8 I have stock inj.adv. box but from never model ->86 which have bit lower advance than <-85 models, but I'll take both boxes in dyno and run with each one one run when every thing else is checked and corrected. I'll also make adjustable cam gear (there was some one asking that in different topic?) That racing gasget is not helping cause piston hole diameter is too small for that 96mm piston But there is couple of alternatives to do it different way (more details later). I did balance conrods (separetely both ends) and main axcel were grinded and balanced also (grind to 0.2 over size), note: main axcel were bend 0.8mm at center, but that was also corrected at macinery shop. Let's see if stock clutch will hold that power (I'll use LuK cluch whic is claimed to hold +20% better torgue than stock... but still). Those wheels which are now in car are wolfrace racing wheels 15" (very light) tyres are now 205/55/15 and seems also bit rare wheels? Those ATS wheels 14" are also bit rare and I don't know those history? I'll but 195/60/14 tyres on those. Feel free to ask any details, I try to member all changes but my memory is not so good But I cladly share my knowledge and have no intress to hold any details if it helps others. Car will be as stock from out side (exept wheels and bit lower) and interior will be from Mi16 (seats and steering wheel). Also exhoust end is stock (see pictures in my site). V-M

Yes, that is Saab 9000 94-> IC (newer model) shold hold 1.5bar boost, but i'll nly use 1-1.2bar max. I'm looking better turbo (Mitsu TDO4 -18 7#) but until I'll use this one. I have dynoed but there were basic setups mainly and a lot of small broblems. Now main probs are solved. Let's see how it goes... Currently I have all basic sets in car (stock LE jetr and ing. box etc...) V-M

Hello, I'm building new engine for my crey car. Block is now machined for 96mm Volvo turbo pistons and all parts are balanced. Head is this self made dani head and cam is grinded dani cam. Turbo is from Lancia integrale 8v and size is A/R 0.6, 48/72mm inlet size and outled is A/R ?, 48/58mm pictures are on my home site (not all new engine pics (I'll add them with text). Block is lowered 1.4mm and original con.rods are used (those did need some rework). And a lot of other small and big changes. Original head gasget will be tested but bit doubting how it will go cause metal ring is bit on cylinder side. V-M

Hello, I have planned to build one of these and I have trying to have better pictures (not available in web) and no answer from ASC. ASC which have one in their exhibition room. I'll use for building one of my latest purchase for this project (Ari Vatanen's ex-promo car from -85). Any one living close to their facility? If I remember right Mike Tibbet was visiting there and did see that one in Sochaux? V-M
