Turbo install in my Volvo 242 T5 swap (Engine Rebuild Part 3)
After finishing rebuilding the engine and installing accessories on intake side of the engine in the previous episode, it’s time to bolt up all of the exhaust side accessories-most notably a freshly rebuilt Garrett GTX3067R ball bearing turbocharger-before proceeding with the MaxxECU conversion and engine reinstall.

Watch how I designed and built my dream fabrication, welding, and general work table for my garage workshop at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to purchase this table. #dreamgarage #weldingtable 3D Modeling Tool for Design - SketchUp web app: www.sketchup.com/ Materials List - Frame - (22x) 1.5” x 2.5” x 47” mild steel rectangular tube (.125” wall) - (4x) 14oz cans of Steel-it Black...
Laguna Green BMW E36: Wash, Tinker, and Drive on a quiet morning
Просмотров 913 месяца назад
Sunday morning is the perfect time to hit the backroads of Wisconsin in my 1992 BMW 325i (E36) finished in Laguna Green paint with BBS RC304 wheels, but first there are a couple things to tinker with. The driver side brake light has been intermittently broken and the TC Kline single adjustable coilovers need to be adjusted to the correct ride height. Then it's time to hit some b roads and enjoy...

I’m rebuilding the 5 cylinder turbo engine swap in my 1980 Volvo 242 after it lost all engine oil a couple years ago. Follow along as I reassemble the engine to work toward getting this car back on the road, ensuring that critical parts are in spec; fingers crossed this journey’s a smooth one.

High temperature ceramic coating is the go-to solution to finish and protect exhaust components like exhaust manifolds and turbine housings. Watch to learn how you can ceramic coat your own parts in your garage without an oven, using Cerakote Air Cure #ceramiccoating , as I demonstrate the process on the exhaust manifold and turbine housing for my #5cylinder #turbo swapped #volvo240
Thinking of doing the same project, excited to see how it turns out!
I felt that drill bit snap in my soul.
Preeeeach. Thought I was going to get so much done that day, and then bam-day ruined
Man those sheared off bolts were a doozy.
Yeah… that’s the unseen pain of car projects 70% of the time 🥲
The VHT high heat header spray has proven to be massive bang for buck as well when it comes to coatings manifolds and turbine housings. I've done probably like 40 - 50 different manifolds with the VHT coating and holds up remarkably well.
Oh interesting. Any special prep you do? Aerosol can makes it even easier, but I haven’t had luck with the aerosol products I’ve tried
What engine mounts did you use to put the t5 in
They are one-off brackets with Volvo 240 passenger side engine mounts.
When welding a broken stud like. Place a copper washer over the hole and weld in spots the stud to build it up . Remove copper washer clean up the weld knob place nut over this knob and do a deep weld .
Good tip, thanks!
Going with a MaxxECU Race in our Flyin' Moose endurance car. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Nice! I’m excited to upgrade from Megasquirt. Should be fun to get that all set
ahh just what I need after a really rough and shocking day... a volvo video. Keep up the good work.
Enjoy!
Did you modify the pan and the pickup tube yourself? I really want to do this swap for my 240 but do not have the fabrication or skills for aluminum. nvrm paused the video prematurely. Great video cant wait to see more of the build.
Thank you! More coming soon. It’s a challenging swap to do without fabrication skills given how limited aftermarket support is. You can buy engine mounts now but there are lots of smaller items you need to figure out on your own (that’s almost the point of a swap like this versus something more common, though)
@@Drive.Revive.Tinker Totally agree, there is more information about the swap nowadays on the forums. I think a tad easier swap is the T6 since there will be some less fabrication work to be done. It won't sound as cool but, would prefer a Volvo engine swap than anything else.
Yeah, T6 definitely makes it a bit easier. There’s also a premade MaxxECU engine harness for the T6 that removes a rather complex step if you plan your build with that in mind
Have another look DRT can not weld alloy either , but he he does cut and prep the weld area well for a skilled welder to complete . He does 80% of the welding process . The more you try someting the more you learn ..... a failure is a learning step . You may not have a work space this well designed . But am guessing DRT started many years ago in a dark borrowed space years ago .
Very nice, clean bench. I liked your idea of putting the cabs on each short side. Really nice Sketchup drawings.
Thank you! I ended up not installing the cabinets on the short side because I wanted more legroom on the back side, but I still made the frame the right size so that I can add them in the future if I want.
The video is great even though I'm only 6 seconds... still my favorite build series so far. Keep up the good work.
Having seen this table in person, it is every bit as impressive as one could imagine based on seeing the amount of work that went into it. Well worth it to have this amount of space to work on. 💪
Thanks, man!
That was some intense hacking - Also appreciate the shoutout!!🥰
✨✨ thanks for killing it on the welding!
So good. My two main take aways from this video are that I need a bigger ultrasonic cleaner, and I wish I was building a white block instead of a 16 valve.
It seriously made my day when I saw that the intake *perfectly* fit in the ultrasonic cleaner. Turns out that the big ones aren't that much more expensive than the small ones, so it's really just about how much space you want to give up for it.
@@Drive.Revive.Tinker Yeah, I noticed that when I was shopping for the smaller one I have, but like you said, I was concerned about space. But I'm getting dangerously close to breaking ground on the new shop, so maybe an upgrade is in my future.
@@tfrasca142 can't wait to see what the new shop looks like!
Real nice table you got there.
If only it could make the Volvo run
That turned out great!
Thanks, Tom!
Bet you wish you had a welding table to make your welding table. Nice work. Great video
The struggle is real
ayy notification squad. great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The moment you pulled the light bulb out, my mind went straight to "Yup, that there is a light bulb." LOL
Followed by “…guess I need a hammer”
Aaaaahh Satisfying.
I think this is the channel I've been dreaming of for years, the cars, the project the video quality the narration. The fact You aren't even at a 100,000 subs yet is Criminal. Keep it up Tom I'm gonna be here for the long haul.
Incredibly kind words; thank you!
Mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive. LOL
Financially, spiritually…🤣
Nice work Tom Love, Douchenozzle
Incredible. Enjoyed your narration and good use of downtime on the 242 to reclaim your jack with ingenuity and elbow grease!
Nice, I'll be here for any volvo stuff in the future.
Plenty of Volvo stuff to come!
That is quite the workshop there. 2 lifts is real nice eh?
It’s a game changer, for sure
Nice video and looking forward to more volvo content 🎉
The world needs more 240 content. Coming soon!
Nice work! ❤
Well done! Detailed, informative, and complete. Think I’m ready to go. Thanks!
You make it look super doable even for me!
Ayyeeee I'm subscribed!
Like! Definitely interested in what you plan to do….
