I put part of the ECM wiring harness in backwards so the ECU wasn't communicating properly - that took ~10 minutes to fix. Then the ground wire for the ETM was loose, causing the ETM to loose signal and not communicate with the rest of the network. A simple fix, but it took a little time to diagnose and troubleshoot. Especially since the ETM was a white label and original to the car, we had to eliminate any and all causes of ETM issues prior to arriving at the ground issue.

Stock Volvo unit should not have needed any encouragement for installation.. We started it by hand, and probably could've done the install with a deadblow hammer but the press actually the fastest and easiest way. I seem to recall seeing something where starting with the 06-07 automatic P2 R collar gears, Volvo changed the tolerance and material composition to help reduce wear on the collar gear splines. My guess (just a guess, nothing to substantiate this) is that replacement collars are made to the newer, tighter tolerances.

I have more details and pictures of on the wiring modifications in my build, the link is in my sig. I remove the entire wiring harness from the car, and separate out the transmission wiring and remove all unneeded wiring. This way it's a much cleaner install and will greatly simply things if any troubleshooting is needed. The PNP wire is long enough that you can remove it from the connector at the trans, crimp a spade terminal on it and run it directly to the starter solenoid, no splicing necessary. The reverse lights are a similar condition - remove from trans connector (pins 5 and 9) then attach the reverse light connector and you're good to go. The TCM is deleted on the chassis side of the harness. You remove the green (pin B1 and B2) and white (B13 and B14) wires from the TCM plug. You then connect B1 to B2 and B13 to B14 to remove the TCM from the network. This is shown on the wiring diagram in Mark (blackt5) build thread. I have a link that diagram in my build and show pictures of my wiring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have read your thread, Marks, and Hussein's I worry about removing the wiring from the ecu box, but since lots of people are doing it these days I guess it can't be that bad the pnp wire are you connecting that to the starter solenoid? sorry with all the questions just a few issues I have that I couldn't find the answers too, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Kevin. Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 man that's some work there! curious as to your use of a turbo blanket? just to help with the Öhlins reservoirs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the R manifold and so the stock heat shield doesn't fit any more. The blanket is for a td04 Subaru turbo. After Carlisle last year and in talking with a few other people I got the comment time and again that the heat from the turbo will negatively effect the oil in the Öhlins and make them 'work less' when everything is really hot. I can hand on heart say as well the cabin gets less hot with the turbo wrapped up like that. Just something extra to contain the heat a bit. Hell, it may even help the life of the angle gear being that it is right above it. I think it was $40~? on ebay from the oem seller, came with the little spool of wire to set it in place and I would do one again if I had another car with no upper heat shield. It probably doesn't make enough heat to damage anything but it does keep the temperature down a bit better in that area. Closest thing to getting a correct heat shield for that area. Was it ever a lot of work as well. thursday 530-12pm Friday 10am-2am Saturday 10am-3am Sunday 10am - 5pm 47+ hours? That includes some lunch and dinner breaks with 3 parts store runs as well but that's apart of any project. Andys wiring knowledge I'm sure saved a lot of time too.

Been doing a little research, and the turbo blanket is an awesome mod. In addition to reducing engine bay temps, the extra heat in the turbine improves spool and transient response. So you get lower IATs, cooler cabin/engine bay, and batter throttle respone - win!

Honestly, disassembling the ECM/TCM stuff isn't too bad, Mark has a lot of great details in his thread that show you how to do so. Take plenty of pictures as you take stuff apart for reference when you put it back together! Yeah, PNP wire gets the spade terminal crimped on and connected to the starter solenoid. I edited my earlier post to state this more clearly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Riker Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Glad to see another M66 swap. Really makes these cars a treat to drive. On that shifter assembly, cut out the plastic riser below it. Improves the position of the shifter greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the thick plastic one but the surround for that bundle of wires is just a bit higher up then it needs to be. Trying to brainstorm a way to secure the lower plastic tray back together to prevent and dash rattle in the future. Currently all of the clips are intact. It certainly is a treat now. Still can't believe it's all done and it all works. The car is noticeably lighter on it's feet. Partly because it does weight less now but also because the power delivery feels so much different.

Commander Riker Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 How many miles does your car have? Did you notice the sub frame bushings as an improvement? I think mine are going at 230k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
