Re: 740 turbo intercooled 1989

No problem Tomchill. I am doing a little at a time with it right now but I will do my best to get some front end shots for you. It is usually pretty dark when I get home from work so it might be this weekend before I can get any done.

Re: I need help on a 740

I really wasn't going for anything special as far as the serp. belt goes, I have not seen an older Volvo like mine with the serp. on it so I was thinking a little custom touch would be nice. As I work on it I will keep yawl updated with pix and info.

Re: I need help on a 740

OK Bill. Thank you for all the info. Let me ask this then, what is the psi for the stock 740 turbo and how can I increase it? I am new to the whole turbo and volvo world. They seem to be a lot like superchargers on a v8 chevy but with their differences too.

Re: I need help on a 740

I have a lot of time to design a pulley system for it and i work with a lot of machining tools at work. If I can get the specks on the output shafts I can come up with something to build for it. As far as the turbo goes would the Mitsubishi turbo work and bolt straight on? Would i have to worry abou...

Re: 1990 740 turbo won't start

I was having problems with not getting enough fuel to my injectors so I cleaned out as much as possible by unhooking the fuel line spraying in close to a full can of throttle body cleaner, let it sit for a bout 10 minuets, reattach the fuel line and started up the car. It took a few times to start b...

Re: 740 turbo 1988 smoking engine

The wheels on my 1990 740 Turbo should fit yours if you have a 5 lug bolt pattern. As far as the smoking goes it sounds like reattaching the lines and replacing the flame trap should fix this.

Re: 740 turbo, 1990, rattle under hood

I had a rattle under my hood that sounded like it was in the dash. I'm not sure how loud yours is but mine was pretty annoying. Come to find out it was the heat shield under the spark plug wires. All I had to do was tightin up a few bolts and use some lock-tight and no more rattle. I hope this helpe...
