Unusual Project in Norway

[HetLaeN]

Hello

This is my project now that mean my brother (he is not in this project anymore) bought from some guys in Sweden (we live in Norway), Spring 2009. The puller had been driving 5-6 years before we bought it, and they did not do anything other than oil changes after they had tuned it, quite impressive when thinking of how it has been running.





Now for the fun parts:

/Everything with the engine is stock, D24T with alu intercooler from a Saab.

/The pump is the VE-pump with 12mm cummins plunger, i do not know any more than that. But i suspect the governor is tampered with also.

/The compressor house on the turbo says Garret T4, not sure about the exhaust side. (If somebody see what it is buy looking at the picture, tell me and i will write it in)

/Pipes from turbo to the manifold is in stainless steel. It looks none effective with those bends, but it is less turbo lag now than it was with the old pipes.

/The exhaust is stainless steel 5".

/The radiator from a VW Golf 2.

/The gearbox is 4 staged 240, think it is called M45?

/The rear axle is also from a 240. It is been shortened to fit the rules of the competision


This link goes to pictures with comments to get a better idea on how it looks :

It is hard to remember everything to put in here, so if there is any question, ask me!


I have new plans for rebuilding the puller this winter, but the plans comes later. Will try, and hope I can keep the project updated better in here from now

hi
great prodject man
got a question about the Exhaust manifold you gonna use it stock or custom Equally long ?

It will be roughly equal to the original, but with some modifications. Are not quite sure yet what modifications will be, but it gets major efforts to bring down the weight anyhow.

aluminum front wheels? less fuel onboard>?carbon fiber seat? plastic steering wheel?

lol, just guessing

Now we just had a test pull, and well, it runned very good until the diff broke down, again... straight after the pull we opened the oil filling hole, and it came smoke, it could be a sign that the oil is cooking real well back there and if it does, that could be a really good reason why the diff broke :P

we have tried 2 different oil type, one thick and one thin... these are not any racing oil or something, just regular oil from Statoil (yes, the norwegian statoil...) is there any really good oil to use on the diff? it need to be thin enough when cold, because we dont have any chance to warm up the oil before the pull, and it should manage high temp.

vid doesn't work...

I think you need a stronger rear end. I doubt the weight of gear oil is going to have much affect on a short term pull like your doing. Over the life of the axle having it too thick or thin could lead lubrication and wear issues, but not breakage like that.

Do you have any suggestions for a cheap diff, but stronger? Or any other things to make it stronger? The criterion is that the differential must be open, to have control on the court, and that it must fit the Volvo 240/740.

I searched for an other final drive ratio and found that DANA made a nice axle for the JEEP CHEROKEE. So i took such axle and builded it for my '78 volvo 245.

I wrote the story down right here;

That looks great, but I need smaller and stronger :P I am going to put some ideas out here after my last pull this year, 21. august



But I think there is a problem with the engine now :S I started the engine today, went a while before it started, but once it started it sounded not so nice. Much noise, sounded like there were stones all around the engine. And when it was warm, just from standing idle it still sounded just the same. So i was reving it, and it sounded like it misfired. And why do it now when it has never done it before?

small video of the puller running. You can actually hear the knocking sound from the engine, nooot good -.-
