Hussein's 1998 V70 Xr : The Force Awakens

I'm not sure if the IAT sensor increases or decreases voltage as the temp increases. I looked in the manual, but it doesn't specify. My sensor is a combined MAP/IAT sensor. My IATs do decrease on say a 4th gear highway pull.

Did they quote you a price on the rad? I got a local guy selling an alu rad made for a 93 850 but i'm not sure if the 93 has the same mounts as the 94-97 models or particularly the 98 models. Waiting for pics.

Any numbers on the rad for cost?

PM'd.

Spec Clutch Kit SO603F came while I was over in England for my uncles' funeral.

Looked at it today

Spec provides larger shouldered dowels that they request you use. The problem is this:

12mm dowel, 13mm shoulder. I don't think 1mm wall thickness will do. I've emailed Don @ KalmarUnion, as he does repin these for Spec clutches. Spec suggested turning down the dowels & going somewhere inbetween stock & theirs for the shouldered insert. The problem is of course that defeats the purpose of the shoulder. I tell ya, it's always something! :arob:

Hope you get it sorted out without too much hassle. Mine never called for new dowels but I think your clutch has a higher torque rating.

Do you have a side shot of the pressure plate? It almost looks taller than my old dualmass plate.

I'll take a profile shot tomorrow.

Sure is!

Where is the quaife hiding?! I just saw that someone else bought a quaife diff for their M66 (S60R), but you said they don't make one.

Quaife doesn't make it anymore, but maybe someone has a couple - I think the problem is they don't play nice with the AWD. Can't see any other reason for discontinuing. I seem to recall reading that they didn't work for the race team that had them - they will be using Gripper, according to Don @ Kalmar.

why not just sleeve the current dowel and weld it to the shoulder? obviously would have to re-balance but I dont see anything sheering off with the dowels and bolts holding it together.

I'll just have the machine shop figure out the best path. I was just hoping that this wouldn't turn into another $100 fix...

2 4th gear Data logs from yesterday 80-128 in about 10sec. Definitely slower than 3rd.

Looks good. I though you bumped up your boost again or does it still under report by, what, 2PSI?

Just got my TT delivered after USPS was too lazy to walk up to the door the past couple of days.

Hi

Not anymore - now boost report seems to be pretty accurate, at most .5psi under. maybe the discrepancy increases at higher boost, I'm not sure.

I didn't want to raise it again until I had all the leaner AFR areas cleared up.

Let me know if you want to try one of my tunes; will need adjustments, but should give a good starting point.

Gotcha, I already have a little map made up when I ran Joes (550) TT the other day. I'm going to build on that for now, but I'll let you know if I change my mind. Thanks for the offer.

2800psi load rating.

Dropped the PP & flywheel off this afternoon - ^ this is what he will do. Bore the new dowels, and cut them down so that a small amount of the shoulder is still present, then they can't walk.

Hussain,

Does this measurement look right to you for the MAF? I don't have a MAF handy right not to measure, but since I can now rescale my maps I figure I might upgrade to a bigger MAF.

http://www.ebay.com/...=item3cbbcdad12

Bore size 1.510" Inside dia. ( 38.40 mm inside dia. )

center distance between ( 2 ) sensor mounting holes = 2.085" ( 52.90 mm )

Hi J

That looks right - you could just do what I did - get a used (99) and either just use the housing or rewire the connector for both (more choices for MAF sensor replacement). This would likely end up a cheaper option, though.

Definitely an improvement, BUT... you may have a throttle response delay on initial tip-in - I did, but the Enem Cams cured that!

For rescaling, you'll want to log MAF flow & use that as a guide - Plat850 observed that my logged MAF g/s pretty much equates to TT load cells when converted to a percentage (my math sucks, so I would have to go back & find his post to figure it out). You have to be careful, 'cos it does depend what gear you log in, of course. I hit max maf flow in 3rd earlier (lower rpm) than in 4th, and so on..

I logged it a while back and I was maxing it out around 4500-5000 if I remember right. I'll look into it. I like this aluminum housing, i think it look cleaner than the plastic housings.

Any opinion on the housing ID reducing slightly towards one end? The aluminum one probably does not.
