Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi, Im planning to make the calender soon (around november). So I need your pictures! ;) However there are certain criteria to pass: -High quality (above 1200pixels wide or high) -Only details of the 480 can be shown, no pictures with the whole car please It is best to show a (smaller size) preview ...

Very nice website!

I like the pictures, but the language is a small barrier.

I'm almost temped, but the patch of rust is just 0.2" too large for me to handle!

I would go for std type NGK's, but one or two degrees colder. (BPR8/9ES??)
Iridiums are overpriced for their benefits and they still wear...

That is good news!
Keep us posted

I have driven quite a few times in an 406 V6 (saloon, not coupe) with automatic and apart for blowing its coil on plugs it was dead reliable and economical too. It didn't consume much more fuel then the 2.0 automatic and it so much nicer to drive. An other option is to use turbo at the end of the ex...

That car needs some lowering

Nice shots!

The B18FT uses Bosch LH and EZK ecus. The 24V version is very sweet and the latter ones can achieve 250hp (Renault Clio V6 spec). So that might be an option. An other option might to supercharge it. Mount an Eaton between the banks run it at around 0.4bar. For contolling the fuel, you install an Mal...

You only need an other garage, no need to get rid of one car.

Nice project!

Can't you make an adaptor piece with one side the T2 bolt pattern and on the other side the GT2554R pattern?

I rather suspect it being a ABS light. The heater controls are also nice on that car.

Nice find!

Is an 480 not an option?

Look for post of rpruen and/or tobi480turbo. They had a nice topic called tuning ecu's or something similiar a few years a go (2005?)

The end result was 240hp (from a B20F, though)

Above the gearbox, under the dizzy IIRC

Why not use a potmeter?

ELF TransELF gearbox oil has a suitable variant and is supplier for Renault.

Me thinks that the extra capacity is welcome (especially when the turbo engine will be tuned)

Very cool pictures of a cool car!

Omex and DTA have the advantage over Megasquirt that they offer after sale service. On the other hand they are much more expensive. Other brands are VEMS and KMS. Besides people often make the mistake about the sophistication of OEM Ecu's. The size of the maps and control systems are often better th...

Still strange that the gasket goes, so short after the rebuild.
