It’s been a little so I figured I would update you all. The engine is now out of both cars. Getting ready to put it back into my car. While the engine is out I put cam seals in, new timing belt and water pump, all vacuum lines, new coolant hoses, and my ARD wastegate set to a 1.8 PSI base setup. I ...

I just bought a 1995 850 turbo wagon b5234t to swap into my 97 sedan. I have an upgraded ARD factory style waste-gate actuator, and I’m not sure what to set it’s base psi to. IPD has in their turbo talk video a reccomended 1.8psi but that’s seems low, this car is also going to have a few upgrades ...

Just a quick update for everyone as I don’t want this forum to die out. I yanked the motor out Saturday. Everything went pretty smooth minus one of the axels being a pain to come out (they are pretty new and had some stiff clips). I also had the dipstick tube pop out when lifting the engine out, and ...

PM sent, thanks!
ARD’s website had claimed it made 12psi on LPT and 14 on hpt, with the only options being transmission so I’m assuming it should work fine. Also I have their adjustable wastegate I’m gonna throw on but I have never set one up before.

I’d get ahold of them to check but they are currently (only selling wholesale to other company’s more info to come) which basically tells me their going out of business.

I’m glad to see others are as excited as I am. I really loved my GLT back when it was running but have always wanted to have more and this parts car find is the perfect thing for me. The car should make a significant more amount of power, and the ARD ECU should run it fine, especially after some ...

Well I just got off of the phone with IPD, they said the sway bars should work fine since the wagons FWD. I do plan on getting new mounting bushings and probably endlinks. As far as lucky goes with ARD, everything I’ve gathered says it should run it just fine, especially as I’ll be using the 97 ...

Hello all,
I have a 1997 Volvo 850 GLT (2.4 LPT) that recently had the motor go. I picked up a 95 turbo wagon parts car (2.3 HPT) for some performance gains as well as it being a good deal. My GLT is currently on an ARD OEM R tune which from what I have gathered should run this new motor just fine ...

Well I’ve decided to go the no AC route and go with the 2.3. Gonna be doing a few mods with the swap as well as a few other small things, and I may start a little build thread so stay posted. Also does anyone have any 96-97 2.3t motor that they would sell that’s in decent shape? I found one out of ...

The car has an ARD OEM R tune, but it wasn’t on my original ECU, they just sent me an entirely different one.
