Oreo931 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Do you have any pics of the wiring in the engine bay from the battery relocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Not at the moment but I'll go take some at lunch. It's pretty much tucked so if you didn't know Volvo you'd probably assume it was stock that way :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matchbox22 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Never cared for the intrusion of an A pillar pod or dash pod, so I got an Omori 45mm gauge and relocated the light switch. I like the placement of the gauge here rather than the switch panel just since visibility is better for me when driving. great build you got going Lucky (still for President). I thought the S70 didn't have a boost gauge on the dash like the 850? Unless i'm thinking about DSM (first second gen differs)? I believe the boost gauge is easier to see in the pod then down by the light switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Since my car is a 94 I can't use an x70 cluster so it's still the 850 cluster which did come with the standard uncalibrated boost gauge. For visibility I like the gauge in the light switch location, since I have my hands in the line of sight to where the switch is now due to the paddle shifters.

phunktified Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 am I missing something on said paddle shifters in this thread somewhere? Are they mated to the 4 spd auto? for reals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yup, did a write up in one of Ipd's newsletters last year and a complete post in Swedespeed on it. I can do give some more specifics on it if there's interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunktified Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'd love to hear about it if you have more to post, otherwise I'll just go and try to find that thread on SS. ps nice build :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipd Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Here's a shot under the hood regarding battery relocate. Not much to see really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautic70 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Never cared for the intrusion of an A pillar pod or dash pod, so I got an Omori 45mm gauge and relocated the light switch. I like the placement of the gauge here rather than the switch panel just since visibility is better for me when driving. Very nice it looks just like you said it was going too. I might pull it out and hit the surround with a little graphite paint to get rid of the light indicator. And by the way thanks for the hook up on the window master switch, it works great. And let me know if you ever do decide to switch up the wheels, if the time is right I just might pick them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreo931 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Here's a shot under the hood regarding battery relocate. Not much to see really I meant pictures of the wiring at the connection to the starter, I know what a battery-less 850 looks like If you don't have any, don't worry about it. I am interested in relocating my battery which is why I was asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper1 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Stock audio unit, USA spec adapter, Belkin U95 bluetooth receiver and a 5v regulator gets you this... No comments on my hair... trying to grow it out. Awesome. And Was that a fog light switch that turned on the ignition? Double awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
