lookforjoe Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I would like to convert my V70 to AWD, I found one m66 online but it's $3k!!! Where'd you source yours from? VandSautodismantlers So the fronts are almost bottomed out? Yep. At this point, I get pretty significant inner fender rub. I can stall the motor on a hard (full lock) slow turn. Inner liners are worn through above the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Was getting wheel hop in 3rd & 4th on the highway, so I moved up the Quaife 14J install in the spare M66 I bought Installed new Volvo control arms, and a replacement PS rack at the same time, since toe changes can induce hop Trans going back in I also was getting some clutch slip under high load, so I removed the PP shims, and had the KU SM flywheel remachined to the correct offset for the Spec Stage III full face (.353"/9mm). Have about 200 miles since the install, so too early to tell if the wheel hop is a done deal. Once the flywheel is bedded, I'll get on it hard & see what's up. Since the problem was less apparent with the 17's & snows, I also bought some new Enkei M52's 17x7.5 ET38, to put on instead of the 18's. I wanted something else just for back up anyway.

rise94 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Which car, the '99? Are you coming to Carlisle next year/ I missed your cooking this past year I like that idea. I'll have to discuss it some. I'm also putting in a larger intercooler - my 3.5" core is currently swedged between the bumper & AC cond - so I'm going to go with a 31x12x3 (vs. 28x8x3.5) which will give a smidgeon of breathing space on either side. It will mean cutting out the valance & tie bar... Hello lookforjoe I have a question about your intercooler: Today you have chosen to put a large (28x8X3, 5 "). I see that opening in your bumper can cool up to your intercooler. It is therefore a good choice. I have a Volvo V70R AWD and I can not put your model because the cooling is not optimum, the opening in the bumper is too small .... I will change because the original intercooler is misplaced, I look at what is on the internet where the forum VOLVO ... I think rather direct me to the first intercooler you'd first (28x8x3, 5 ") since opening in my bumper is 22.4" Lx3, 14 "D. From the opening of the bumper I make aluminum plates to direct air over the surface of the intercooler. Were you satisfied with your first FMIC (28x8x3, 5 ")? How much power can it handle? 350 hp max or more? 400 hp Thank you in advance for information Yann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you need to look for Treadstone, Precision, etc with a medium density core. eBay coolers do not have internal fins that support optimal cooling. You can add deflectors like this: to assist in even air distribution Current bay pics 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rise94 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thank you for the information. I see that you still have to improve the parts in your engine compartment. Congratulations to you and your passion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Small update. Clutch still slips at peak torque at pretty much any boost setting over base (14psi) WG. I had already scheduled the AWD Dyno session, so I did a couple highway pulls to see what rpm level I could proceed to WOT with slip. I found that over 4500 was safe, but this means the graphs do not reflect peak torque since that occurs below WOT . Good news is The intake, header and .82a/r hotside give me an EBR of less than 1:1, so I should be in great shape once VEMS is in and I turn up the wick. Dyno from today; Limited to approx 18psi on 2nd pull, as stated above, had to hold off from WOT until over 4500 or instant slip. 1st pull was at WG pressure - about 14psi Just over 408AWD WHP@ 7,925 rpm. They said if you want to compare to DynoJet, etc, you'd have to add approx 18%, as this one doesnt apply all kinds of correction factors to bump the numbers.

Thanks - No, between the wheel hop & clutch slip @ peak torque there is no point until that is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
