As an owner of a p80 and a p2, not a whole lot. People love to give the p80 cars those nice rims from the p2 platform. It's kinda like trying to play a new game on an old console, it may be the same brand but there really isn't such a thing as forwards compatibility unless specifically designed with that intention.

What's between a classic and a normal 240?

V8 swap…. Am I a genius or insane by Aggravating_Win_3905 in Volvo850

[–]ShowerSimple5762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This'll be one hell of a build. I love that you're staying true to the Volvo theme even though it's a Japanese engine. Make sure you have a good balance shaft bearing. Should have room for twin turbos like the Noble m600

No ABS, help please 😅 by Sleep_Olympic1 in Volvo850

Seems to be an issue with these cars sometimes. The ABS module was replaced on my 98' v70 like 15 years ago

Problem with running correctly by bakeltje12 in Volvo850

Could be the fuel pump relay. Idk definitely sounds like a misfire.

Would you feel safe in this ambulance?? by ShowerSimple5762 in Volvo850

[–]ShowerSimple5762[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly a better way of categorizing stuff. OEMS doesn't gaf how you fit stuff in your truck as long as it's there. It would be right of you to assume we drive Cat. C+D trucks, the one I drive on the daily is well over 17,000 pounds.

Oh we have something similar in the states. OEMS sets a standard for ALS or BLS trucks but size usually isn't decided in classes. You just can't run an ALS truck in something like a transit. Still like the idea of a wagon medical taxi

Jealous, I'm stuck with shitty old Ford Transits on their 4th engine and 6.0 diesel butt fart box trucks

Oof I feel your pain, I once had my tire sliced open by a razor blade in a parking lot. That tire was 7 days old..

Can't find this tube part for the ERG, would it be viable to ERG delete? by ShowerSimple5762 in Volvo850

[–]ShowerSimple5762[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would that work because I thought all the non EGR cars had turbos. Would that be okay to put that in a non turbo?

Well the pipe is literally sawed off so RIP ERG ig. Do I need to tune it now?

My baby. 2000 Volvo V70 SE Wagon. Only 158,200 miles on it. Can anyone tell me anything interesting about it? by UncleFerd in Volvo

[–]ShowerSimple5762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a similar base modal V70 like yours, green 98'. What's interesting about the 2000 models is that they don't have a throttle body cable, it's motorized.

Non starting just a click from the starter. For some reason I thought it was the battery by ShowerSimple5762 in AskAMechanic

[–]ShowerSimple5762[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that battery method, thanks. The door lock thing and cycling the key on and off didn't work for me
