Volvo 242 Diesel -79

[Volvo_242_Diesel(Finland)]

Hello! This is my Volvo superturbo-project...

Car: Volvo 242 -79
Motor: D24 ohc
Transmission: M46
Suspension: -50mm lesjöfors springs
Wheels: 16" Hydra, 225 tires
Other: Garrett GT-series turbocharger, homemade exhaust manifold, big intercooler 330x780+76mm, 12mm liquidhead, Sasch Race-clutch, 1031 rearaxle with lock...
Performance: 1/4-mile-> 60ft 2,8sec/15,9sek/146kmh(90,72mph) without lock in summer 2009.

I hope that summer 2010 it going faster with lock rearaxle and new better dieselpump :) Maybe 14,XXsec/over 150kmh(93,2mph) i hope.

You used a complete original engine who was without turbo from original? I like the car and engine very much. Scania turbo is perfect. Is it from a v8 or straight six?

Yes the engine is orginal d24. Its same than d24t but there is no oilsquirts on the block and couple other things.

I dont now is it v8 or straightsix turbo. There on the turbo only read scania but it is modifed to work in mercedes 5 cylinder 300 diesel. I bought it that mercedes man because his project is on the ice :) Last summer i drive 1,5bar(21psi) boost but next summer when i get my new better dieselpump i try to drive 2,0bar(29psi) boost or maybe more. Now i have maybe 200 horsepower, summer 2010 i hope 100hp/liter or more :cool:

[volvo d6]

Not much hp but they are going fast as hell:D Are you upgrading a new pump again?

[Volvo_242_Diesel(Finland)]

Are you upgrading a new pump again?

Yes. Old pump not work like it should. I get my new pump maybe next week. It should give more fuel(more boost) and maybe ~1000rpm more. Old pump was homemade, new pump is made by professional.

Looks nice, what are the specs on the turbo... It looks huge. Your not worried about pulling the threads out of the block running all that boost? The NA D24 block is softer than the turbo block..

I dont know spects because my buddy make it. All what i know it is garrett gt maybe 32 or 37. It should do 300hp or more in mercedes, i think it gives same in d24 too if everything else is ok. But if i get +240hp its ok to me.

Im not worried at all because d24-block is same than d24t-block but there is no oilsquirts. Everything else is same and components match together. D24 block is not softer than d24t ;)

[Jason]

Interesting... What model year is the block? The ones from the 80s had a lower nickle content and were softer than the turbo block.

I would believe that thing could support 300hp, the turbo is huge!

I've never heard anything like that but i think that is not problem.

I dont remember what model is my block. I think it is 80-85. I have 2 motor reserve if this break up. This is my second motor. First one dieselmotor look like this...(when i bought this car motor was b19a)

Today my car is evo2, that motor in upper picture is evo1. Evo 3 is coming when i get more cash.

Awesome build! I really like it.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks and ofcource i tell how my project is going on. Next spring/summer well be intresting time.

And the time when i start to build evo3-engine. I have some components all ready in that swap example crankaxle, cranks and pistons(look picture). All of them are lots of lightweight and balanced. I think evo3 is twinturbo :cool:

Oh baby are those counterweights knife edged?? I'm suprised your not going with some "H-profile" rods as you guys in Europe say... When you say twin turbo, are you meaning two smaller turbos, or a compound setup?

Jason

Yes they are knife edged. Original components hold up 300hp if you dont take lots of downtorque. H rods are maybe too expensive for me.

I think i but little and big turbo together. Or maybe i but one very big vnt-turbo. I dont know yet...

[Jason]

Ya a VNT is sweet, one guy on here was working on doing just that but his car got wrecked and he decided to go to a gas volvo!!! Traitor!

Jason

[Volvo_242_Diesel(Finland)]

Finally i get "racepump".

http://i42.tinypic.com/2432dly.jpg

I have lots of other plans too example bodyworks&new color, new better buildet exhaust, fix all oil/fuel/water bleedings off, maybe new interior etc.

When there finland are snow anymore, i start to drive motorcycle and start building Volvo meantime.

[Jason]

Sweet, what are the specs on the pump. Head, cam plate? Are you planning on running a lift pump of some kind? What injector nozzles are you running? I rebuilt my injectors with GTD tips (DNOSD 273s) and love them. Really made the engine run much more crisp.

Jason

[noitulover]

i am quite surprised to learn that you can put a turbo charger on the stock d24. I was under the impression that that was a bad idea.

i would like to get more power out of this thing too, yet there is no way i would ever put a turbo that big on...seems too risky to me.

Only how now spects of the pump is builder ;) If its work well, i'm happy.

First i take output bottom of the fueltank, maybe 10mm output. If that is not enought i but somekind liftpump. I think i but mercedes 300td injector nozzles...

Big turbo doesn't kill d24. Too small turbo and too much fuel is it which break dieselengine.

[volvo d6]

It is right. People says to me that my d24 will break down because they have had alot pressure with t3. I am think i am going to run a big turbo with alot off pressure to cool down. I think that will work good with original pump that is maxed. It will be some turbolag but i think that is cool.

[Jason]

Drive pressure also makes a difference. If you start really pushing alot of boost through the stocker the exhaust housing is going to become a restriction. I really feel this is why I haven't blown my head gasket yet! I'm pushing 20lbs of boost on a stock 2 notch head gasket with stock bolts. My exhaust housing is a .63 A/R stage III (3" outlet). The drive pressure is much lower than the stock turbo.

Hello hello!

Summer is over and i not even be in 1/4-mile with volvo this summer :( I have my new fuelpump but it didnt work like it should. I try to make better pump(again :( ) to next year. I need lots of more rpm!

Today my volvo look like this :)

http://i33.tinypic.com/b8acjs.jpg

I have "new" 18" rims too.

http://i33.tinypic.com/2edumbo.jpg

242 is now in "winter sleep" and i drive 245 and engine is ofcource d24t with littlebit more boost and fuel :cool:

[hvguy]

Im kinda on board with jason with the stock manifold restriction.

I was able to push 35+psi with a GT3267 turbo with no wastegate. However it did blow the head gasket when it overheated for the 5th time? but its got over 280k.

IMO its the overheating that weakened the gasket and the turbo just finished it off. :rolleyes:
