  1. Not opened engine since then, started it few weeks ago and it runs nicely (2-3min) but oil and water are mixed, but I dont want to destroy bearings and main axel by running engine. But good news is at garage is now cleaned for getting 505 in and start looking reason for continuous probs.

    But I have put some serious thoughts for twin turbo idea... but these t25 and t17 could be too big ones to use, maybe use some new diesel turbos in stead. Lets see...

    But first is to find out current prob, could be at I just put one of std engine there to move and use car in winter time.

  2. Rabin, depends on case but rarely std is used cause main axel is usually worn at it needs machined anyway so over size is needed, but of cause then question is main bearings then. Clearance must be matched between those. I have managed to use std size two times on building N9T engines, one's on main bearing and ones in con rods :) Then machinist needs to know exact clearances but good ones know this issue very well.

    I would be good buyer for those sets but I have those in storage (also 0.1mm over size sets) roughly 10-13 sets (main and conrod). NOS

    But I'll keep in mind for other Nordic hobbyists and spread word about this.

    I agree that correct N9T exhaust gasket is hard to find. One reason is at it can be reused many times and original made in good solid way.

  3. Hi,

    Yeah I'm here :D I did answer in private also but I do it here also in case there is others in "North" area. I have 8 heads in "stock" Not all fixed but I have good connection to realy experienced welder (he has welded and fixed over 10000pcs alumium heads) I have also 2 pcs of dani heads for sell with all included (dani cam etc...) those are ready to install packages.

  4. hey buddy i don't want to rain on ur parade but im with rabin on this one,anything bigger than 2 inch ur asking for trouble ur gonna end up with burnt up exhaust valves or end up warping them keep in mind its only a 2.8v6 not a 4.6v8 u still need some back pressure for torque and acceleration plus your also gonna be messing with the factory vacuum specifications under the hood.and not to be a crap taller but i was racing an svt 4.6 about two months ago down from big bear and spanked him due to all the turns my car catches up to stock srt4's on the freeway all i did was carefully retune the mad to run a lil richer all i would need is a small serpentine supercharger and i wouldn't doubt any 505 with blow the doors off your mustang. mines only a glx 5spd with afyetmarket intake.

    Agree on that too. And doing supercharged u need better engine management if u want power out and of cause change pistons etc... without doing engine works you can do only 0.3bar or less boost. And I think H piping works on V6 okay (eaven odfire engine) X-piping could be better on V8's (no experince for comparing) I have only driven paxton compressor V8 with and without H-pipe (Pontiac Firebird -99)

  5. BEST ones are the biode 504 euro headlights I have for the 504. 55/60W AND 100W high beams in each. They're insane on high beam.

    I just remebered at I have one new 504 bidiode lamp in storage, have to dig it up. Bad thing is at those are difficult to sent (I have experience of one 505 bi-diode sending and glass was broken).

    505 bi diodes are very good also, I have been thinking to use H4 HID with moving shades.

  6. Thanks for clarifying that - I was making the assumption that the 2.1 and 2.3 Volvo's had the same pin height, and so the Saab rods might work with the 2.3 pistons as well.

    V-M - do you think 96mm pistons are worth pursuing if custom rods are used? Or do you think 96 is just too big a bore for this engine to handle? It looks to work great from your pictures, and if custom rods can be used to get the proper rod length - that would make for quite the monster motor.

    Hardest part for me is finding an engine guy that even wants to attempt such a build... Most are too scared to even discuss it, let alone take a look.

    Rabin

    My current opinion is at 96mm is too big. I have now worked with that engine 2years and way too many openings for engine. From hp point of view it has no big difference and head flow with smaller piston is easier to handle. So I would keep it 92-94mm max. With custom piston it could not have problem, hard to know. But new engine will be same set as tama have.

  7. Also I see V-M has used 95mm pistons, wondering what those are use in?

    I priced up the piston through my uncle that works @ the Volvo dealer, $300 for the whole 92.5MM piston kit...

    My was also volvo pistons 96mm from 2.3L B23ET (or B230ET I'm not sure) turbo engine. Those 92mm pistons are from 2.1L (B21et) turbo engine which is bit older volvo engines.
