Dennis's 740 2.4 Td '86 (from Denmark)

Hi There.

Here are a few pictures of my D24T equipped 740. It's imported from germany in 2007. I am the third owner. The only reason why i bought this car, was because of the D24T engine. In spite the owner/road-tax rules in denmark are really strange, a 740 with D24 cost USD 1666 a year, but if it was with a gasoline engine, then it only costs USD 733 a year.

Nice car! Looks like it's in very good coundtition! I am from sweden and all old volvos whit D24 engine cost much more than the gasoline cars!

Hi! The 740 is in very good condition. It is about 98% rust-free

Is it true that the 200/700/900 with D24 and D24T's is getting popular in sweden? Before i bought this in Denmark, I was looking for one in sweden. They were actually hard to find, and when there finally was one for sale, it was sold pretty quick.

There has been made some changes to the Volvo in the latest year. Ill post some pictures of some of them.

The present engine in the Volvo is a D24+T. Which I put in the enginebay, after the former engine "blew-up" on the freeway. Cam-snap and piston damage..

The "new" D24. (400.000km and from a N/A Volvo 240)




When the descision was made, to run D24+T, i thought it would be a good idea to fit an external oilcooler with thermostat. I bought this "VW Transporter T4 Camper-kit" via eBay. It fits quite okay!











Who throws a "new" engine in the hole, without fitting a new exhaust? I found this 3" "JT" system in Sweden. It normally fits a gasser turbo. I modified the downpipe, and voila. It has a very deep exhaust note..













I put a set of additional gauges under the dash. Boost-gauge (ofcourse! ) And with a heat-sensitive-self-destructive VW diesel under the hood, a temperature gauge who shows the actual temp, would be great.

Nice work Dennis.

Does the new oil cooler have a thermostat control?

Do you experience better performance with the new exhaust? Well that might be hard to compare because of new vs. old engine.
