Comments: Two high-power 16v Volvo redblock engine builds!

Post by Fred »

I guess this has moved along far enough to warrant some comments, and no one was keen enough to start this thread themselves, but now I'm motivated to.

Thread upon which comments shall or shall not be made: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2667

Vehicle into which engine shall almost certainly go: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2624

Any advice, abuse, praise, whatever you feel like, welcome! :-)

Motivated? Just to say this: Does anyone watching recognise the nuts involved in the removal of the bungs in this post: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=2667&p=43428#p43428

Thanks! Congrats on first comment in an already 5 page thread :-D May there be many more as time goes by :-)

The dismantling is almost over. The actual build will start in the coming months with a view to having a built long block ready for early next year. After that will come the TD05HR-16G + MVS + stock IC + mild injectors setup and then it'll go into something for break in. Once broken in there'll be a turbo upgrade of a monstrous type and build 2 will begin for the gold wagon and will use the TD05HR-16G setup as already tested on the blue car.
