Volvo solved the engine wiring harness problem for the 1988 model. The 1988 is the best year of the 240 due to the harness and the LH 2.4 troubles of an '89+. -240 Volvo Tech for 26 years.

back in 2010 I rebuilt my DE with 1990 sohc pistons. they are flat top and raise the comp to 11.1...the 89 pistons raise it even higher but iirc that requires head work. all I did was slap them in my block and go... rock auto had a clearance on KA24E sohc pistons with rings which came to $68 shipped. i was running intake, pacesetter 4-1 header, and your typical early 2010's angled n1 style catback. after break in, we ended up running a 10.2 in the 1/8 mile with 225 50 15's on the stock rear diff. with the 17's on the backroads it was a fun car. it had a lot of power, but i should have tuned it. i ended up selling it and getting a wrx but it was pretty sweet.

Redblocks are only "problematic" because of their time on this earth Most engines havent experienced such problems becauss theyre unable to surpass 300k and not experience head gasket failure, lower bearing failure, etc Id much rather deal with its small issues that i can reach and correct, than deal with the lengths to overhaul. Id be curious if anyone is running these engines on a propane system at this point, honestly

1:07 Hey, m46od! 1:15 The "b" family could refer to every engine they made since 1944 (B4B) to the 2010's (B63XX engines). Soltierally every gas engine they ever made. The b19, b21, b23, b200 and b230 were all very similar to one another, and i guess you could call them the "redblock" family, or just Volvo SOHC 8v family. Then there was also the 4valve b204 & b234, tho these werejust b200 and b230 engines with another head. 2:13 there were dohc versions! 2:46 This is an issue with all old engines. Ignition parts, rotors & caps wears out. 3:10 B230s can safely do 200-250hp, if set up right. At 300hp you're pushing it. The turbo var. of these engines only did 170-180hp or so from factory! 3:57 Got a 1987 740 gle (early model, so 1986 body) and wires are holding up good. Might depend on where you live, of course. Not an issue with the engine itself tho. 4:44 Depends on which year of b230f, the ones with lh2.2 had a sensor in the distributor instead. 4.54 Another common issue with the b230E is the car could be blowing a 25A fuse (no. 12 or 13, dont remember),in that case your fuel relay could be defective (happend to me and i had to tow my car) It is a green relay sitting behind the fuses in the same plastic box. 6:28 Woah! That there is a late 144 (1972?). Which means its probably rocking a b20! wrong clip:( Still sounds great

Wifes had her 200sx for nearly 20 years now. Tuned to a reliable 245rwkw. I would add an oil cooler, delete the shitty CAS and replace with a trigger kit, convert to Audi coil packs, replace the junk old loom. Lots of people mistake the Temp sensors for causing their hard hot starts, however it is more often caused by a failing CAS. This only becomes apparent when tuning and seeing live data like on a dyno. The aging loom can also cause the temp sensor not to read or spike on occasion.

@@marcinjedrol I was probably one of those that advised some people to "upgrade" to an SR20 from their CA18 20 years back. All my 180sx's were SR powered and I never gave the CA a chance.

Built one for my RS13 back in the day 2005 ish. GT2871R with tubular manifold. CA18DE cams adjusted, steel rods and fully balanced bottom end. 300zx maf and 660cc injector AMW fmic etc. Made humble 408hp with 482Nm with 1.6bar and it's still alive with over 40k of occasional trashing. It really likes that you let them oils get to a temp before loading, and also very regular oil changes. Good engine, but you need to know what you are doing when building one. Not much room for bodge jobs.

to let people know I have a sr20det s13 blacktop bought from a japan jdm importer in canada 15 years ago , swapped to a convertible , it was certified to have 54000km then ( installed new timing chain , water pump , seals , head gasket etc and oil pump ) , only mods are a fuel pump , 300zx brakes , header , 2.5" exhaust ( no scream pipe ) , aluminum driveshaft and mass airflow . everything else is original : coils , injectors , computer , igniter etc. it sat still (only 3000km ) for the first ten years . since I moved to the backcountry in 2021 I use this car to go to the big city every 2-3 weeks ( bought winter tires and even used it last winter a couple times ) and it is a 1500km going and coming ride in the mountains with very steep hills to climb. that engine is happy only when it revs i can go uphill in 3rd and 4th speeds at 5000rpm minimum like a rocket , for the flat section of the ride wich is on highway i hold it at 4000rpm at least in 5th speed . i change my oil every 5000km 3000miles with cheap wal-mart supertech 1/3 5w40 or 5w30 synthetic , 2/3 mineral 10w40 or 20w50 is the best mix for this engine . it even ran on 100% pure delvac mineral 15w50 diesel oil more than once since it was given to me I could not waste it but I do not recommend it : the good smell of gasoline will disappear because of that much more smelly diesel oil , I still have a bottom left in the 5 gallons jug... I mix the oils according to the season and on hand availability . I ve done 78000Km so far since installed , never experienced any glitch or flaw with that engine
