My (not so) short story about 744 and other volvo things.

And so the intake was finally installed. I did some test drives and what I can say the car revs a little faster. I mean it comes to the spool moment faster. I dynoass says there is a little improvement here. I dont have yet comparison about temperatures as the winter came and I cant run it hard at the moment. Of course some adjustment to the VE map will be done as there is more air now.

Meanwhile I bought new ignition cables in fiberglass covers. Made new mounting for coil and painted valve cover red. Ofc I bought new OE valve cover gasket - at least no leaks baby!

I'd like to see some more feedback about the b21 intake. I modified one myself but my project car is not assembled yet so it will be a while before I run it.
 
As soon as it get dry on the streets I will test it out. Currently snow / rain and temperatures about 0 degress are causing I dont wanna drive it anywhere.
 
This is standard plate. For the license plate you pay only once - with first registration of car in province you live in. It's about 65$. LU is for my city - LUblin. Next letters and numbers are going alphabetically.
The trick is: go to the boss of local registration office and ask if they can hold you a plate with desired number. Usually they agree - especially when you tell stories about how you love your car and your wife doesn't :D
The real custom plates where you can choose all five letters and numbers costs cca. $280.
 
Wow that is one beautiful sedan. :love:
I always wanted to have a 240 sedan but now i am not so sure about that anymore.


Do you want to dynotest the car with the 531 head? I would be very interested in the graph since my project motor is pretty similar.

7 sedan for life!!!

I was trying to dyno it in December but the clutch started to slip, so we gave up. But soon as the new clutch will kick in I'll try again. Plus - I'm preparing a few small improvements...then I will be sure I did my best to get the best result ;)
