Someone on Ebay lifted my pics of the R with eyebrows and is using them, I kinda felt flattered that out of all the images out there of Volvo's with eyebrows he chose mine . Was on last night and there was only 10k on, been on already when it's been almost 200k. Everyone's on MW2, at least 85 percent of my friends list is :lol:

Looks good, awsome work on the baffle should help alot. I have a few of those fill caps laying around for the 700's, might try it this winter for a small project. Did you have to mod it to fit or just slap it on? Have you checked the volts yet at your fuel pump? Interested to see what it's reading and if your experiencing any drop

My wife and 3 kids had it and I never got it, probably cause I eats me spinach .

I was running stock lines with an upgraded pump and had very similar issue's he's having, after a certain rpm the volts drop causing the pump not deliver what it's suppose to,the stock power wire to the pump can only support so much.

Yes it may have a higher volume pump but if the the volts are dropping so will your lph's, check the pump for volts i'm interested to see if this may help out at all. AS you can see the lph's rose anywhere from 30-60 on different pumps, even just raising the FP the drop was even more significant. With this modification you should see 13.8-13.9 volts at the pump with a good charging system. This allows the pump to pull an additional 5 amps at idle. The electrical system is designed to operate at this (14 v) voltage. Denso fuel pumps are designed with this voltage in mind. As you look these specs over you can see how it is worthless to compare fuel pump flow with out specifying both voltage and pressure. Lph = liters per hour. All Denso 50mm (1G) and 38mm (2G and GVR4) Dia. in-tank fuel pumps start out with the part number 195130-xxxx T/E/L turbo stock pump, GVR4 and 323GTX too: $20 used good (1G and 2G both even though they are different sizes) part #s: -0510, -0153, -0670, -0440, -2020, -0022, -2760 : 100 lph @43psi @12v 70 lph @58psi @12v 140 lph @43psi @14v 110 lph @58psi @14v

It was something driving me bonkers, 20psi and up and anything north of 4500rpm's afr's were just crap. Came across this in one of the forums think it was DSMtalk.com. But here's a link to RRE's page on this topic, My link

Pretty sure you've done this if you replaced your fuel pump. Quoted from RRE "In 1996 we did some research into Denso's (formerly Nippon-Denso) in-tank fuel pump flow rates. The biggest surprise was how much voltage affects flow. Also how much flow drops off at higher pressures. If you measure the available voltage at the battery with the engine running you should see 13.5-14 volts or so. If you then measure the voltage at the fuel pump it's self with the engine running, it will be around 11.9 v and with the fuel pressure regulator loaded with boost pressure the voltage drops to 11.8 v. This is from the small gauge factory wiring being unable to handle the current. The fix for this is to run a large (10 ga. or more) wire directly from the battery to the fuel pump." Had to do this on my DSM when I upgraded fuel pumps, once i'd hit about 4500rpm's afr's were in the shitter. Once I did this upgrade I had no more issue's, ran 23psi til redline.

:lol:

Sexy!!!!!!

Mines doing the same now.lol

Had the same problem, did abunch of updates and it was corrected, i'm using Vista. Might want to try doing the updates.

Both :lol:

Maybe for now, but we are on the verge of becoming the minorities.

Country music makes me depressed. It's always about how there piece of shit truck broke down there ladies left them and the dog died.

I'm not even waitng for noon, hitting some Makers Mark on the rocks right now, it's been a glorious morning .

Saw Weezer with Tenacious D a few years back, awsome show, Weezer's sound on stage is so amazingly perfect. As for the other 2 bands that were there, I would have left when they went on stage, not my cup o' tea.

Because silver and white don't show the dirt as bad. And sir you have one nice XC, love every aspect of it.

That would be awsome.

True that and you won't look like a Mary wearing one either. :lol:

LOL, I know what you mean. It's gotten alittle out of hand IMHO. Are they wearing them to lesson the chance of static charge possibly? I know when we install certain electronics in certain derivitive Bradleys and M88's we have a anti static pad and ground strap that we wear.

True True...didn't think of that.lol

Welcome, pictars of your ride, you can use photobucket to upload.
