lookforjoe Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Going to install a Ishihara-Johnson Windage & Crank scraper setup, Teflon version. Like this, but 5 cyl version. Built to order, so hopefully I'll have it to install before I have to go back to work in Sept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 What's the lead time? Also, how much did it cost? If you don't want to post it, could you PM me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 What's the lead time? Also, how much did it cost? If you don't want to post it, could you PM me? PM sent. Slight problem - this requires dropping the crank TTY bolts (>1256343 according to Al) Volvo doesn't list those as available, and none of the parts fiche (example) indicate any part number at all for what is clearly the TTY bolt.

wizzard_al Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hussein: Tasca lists them for $4.42 http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-volvo/1256343?search_str=1256343 I did not check availability, it is Sunday. BUT, I just ran across a site that says the part was superceded, with the new part number being 31368044 Discount Volvo parts $6.29 http://www.discountvolvopartsonline.com/parts/index.cfm?searchText=1256343&make=Volvo&action=oePartSearch&siteid=217947 So, Tasca give a price on that as well $6.03 http://www.tascaparts.com/oe-volvo/31368044?search_str=31368044 Volvopartswebstore has it as well $6.81 http://www.volvopartswebstore.com/productSearch.aspx?searchTerm=31368044 MySwedishparts.com $7.02 http://www.myswedishparts.com/parts/index.cfm?searchText=31368044&make=Volvo&action=oePartSearch&siteid=213784 Turner Volvo $6.50 http://turnervolvoparts.com/parts/2005/Volvo/S60/T5/index.cfm?siteid=215507 But the strange thing is that none of the following list this bolt: RockAuto, FCPGroton, eEuroparts.com. Typically, I go to these vendors first. When I did a parts search in VIDA 2012D, I found this new part number listed for the XC90 B5254T9 engine, but in the same listing, it shows the following: Flange screw 12.00 needed part # 31258099 B5254T2, M10x117 used in this engine. My conclusion, they changed the part number at least twice, so look for any one of the following 3 part numbers: 1256343 31258099 31368044 Discount Volvo Parts says that 31368044 is the latest, and 1256343 and 31368044 were superceded. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Al! I couldn't find a supercession, and although Tasca lists it, I assumed that they just still have the old number in their parts system. I went to give you a plus+, and hit the Neg by accident - I hope someone can rectify that, sorry! EDIT: ordered the bolts from my local dealer (7/21/14), $6 a piece.

lookforjoe Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Bolts are ordered. I ordered a larger OD serpentine alternator pulley to drop the (alternator) rpms - over 6,6K output voltage progressively drops to around 13v by 8K rpm. The alternators are obviously not'geared' to run over 6,6K rpm. My base idle is higher than stock (975 vs. 850), not that that should be an issue, I see 13.8-14v at idle. I couldn't find a Bosch spec pulley, so I went with a aluminum GM application pulley from Summit, that I will have re-bored from 16.3mm to 17mm ID to suit the Bosch application I'm horrible at math. Can anyone help me figure out what the % drop or change in alternator RPM would be going from a stock 56mm OD pulley, to a 70mm OD pulley? Basically 1/2" increase in diameter.

NEU Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Are you running an upgraded alt? I've been toying with the idea of getting a newer higher output alt, out of the later p2 cars, or seeing if there was a way of adjusting the voltage reg (like the older style alt. with the external reg.)... In my 245 I had one that I set to 14.7v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my 245 I had one that I set to 14.7v. I have a custom reverse rotation (necessary due to the hybrid ancillary setup I run with the RN motor) 180amp output version built by Steve's (GhostShadow) former supplier.

lookforjoe Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Waiting for the crank scraper/windage tray kit. Bought, fixed & sold an '02 S40 with only 100k on it, and still working on getting the X1/9 back on the road. Installing LH2.2 with Volvo/Saab components 5rib serpentine belt conversion, using mostly Volvo parts Spent a couple days modding a pair of ECU's for removable chip /ostrich2 setups, with onboard COP thanks to Piet & Aaron. My eyesight is really not great for this sort of small work anymore Had to add a couple bridge wires on one board, due to my attempt to cut the chip off with a scalpel vs. dremel on that board - damaged the circuit in two places. Added wiring for TTCOP connection as well, since I need to work out the software side of onboard COP in TunerPro. using the COP bridge I had added for the VEMS install to switch between TTCOP and onboard COP Also installed a Volvo ECU fan (8666595) while I was in there. Powered from the Cooling fan circuit, so it turns on with the cooling fan @ 83ºC engine temp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 AC on the x1/9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 AC on the x1/9? yeah - it has factory AC that works - it's still nice to use it on long drives with the roof off belt routing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've seen of some 914 coming with them but with only 80-100hp, and a 14hp hit when you ran the AC they must have been painful! Especially around town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
