Hellas850 T-5 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Since the time I first drove the car,some problems appeared,coolant leak......I changed the hose for the turbo coolant line,it was fine for some days,today I noticed the one hose that goes in the cab for the heater is leaking and I changed them both in the past,I borrowed a tool from a friend Volvo technician,to check the timing of the camshafts,and guess what.....The timing belt tensioner was loose.The belt also.

lookforjoe Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Very Nice! Is it very dusty where you keep the car? Looks like a lot of loose/dry dirt on the tires - must be hell on your air filter service interval.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellas850 T-5 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Kimonas, looks like you have made some awesome progress!! So where do you stand now?Hello my good friend Joseph, For now I made a pause with the car because the workshop is full of trucks and too much job to do.I have to buy injectors(SIEMENS DEKA 750cc),turbo(GT3071R 0.63A/R-PRECISION),custom software(MTE),and finally exhaust plus some other repairs.Until now the car has too much lag,maybe it is because the of the 15G with the 60mm core IC,or maybe it has low compression ratio, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellas850 T-5 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Just an update,so far I have driven almost 3000km.The car seems to be much stronger although it has stock ECU and turbo.Everything is ok except some issues with uneven idle,next Monday I will send the ecu to Sweden(MTE).I have to relocate the oil temp. sensor because there where it is now,I think that I have wrong readings.

Hellas850 T-5 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Nice work Hello Jan,how are you?I decided to go with MTE because it seems to be the best,and because Fredrik responded very positive to my e-mails.I can't wait until I will finish the car.I am curious to see what the performance will be,I don't care so much for numbers but for power.Real VOLVO power.

JCviggen Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 MTE can do a great job, but it will still be a problem that they have to "guess" at your setup at first..it will probably need 2 or 3 changes afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
