Volvo 740 boost controller + gauge install (how to)

[@JstGdNews]

Love it! Getting more stoked on these 90s red blocks. Think I'll switch my wish this year from p80 to p90 dreams. Thanks for the upload

[@DeathOrGloryRacingBC]

Couldn't you also put a bleed valve/boost controller at the overboost solenoid to keep it functioning as a fail safe but at higher psi? Or just tee off the w/g line after the boost controller? Seems like it should work (I don't know myself though). I love how these cars are as simple as they are.

[@driftsnlifts]

you know i never thought of that but i cant see why it wouldnt work.. yea man thats what got me into them in the first place ! ease of modification and reliability

[@turbo740]

The sounds from the alarm fob means it needs a new AAA battery. It has about a half mile range. You can put the alarm in valet mode to keep the alarm functions off.

[@driftsnlifts]

i put it in valet mode and removed the battery hehe

[@IPDTheVolvoSpecialists]

Great video! Awesome shirt too.

[@driftsnlifts]

Thanks guys !

[@JackMoynihanOfficial]

Digging the frequent uploads, hopefully it helps grow the channel more!

[@troj95]

Nice Völvö 740 ! Keep up the good vids :) you should come to Sweden on our big Volvo meet we have here each year :)

[@daniellencz9498]

Hi all thanks for the channel. I have 3 three volvos now.

[@marleysthilaire2123]

you can also use golf vr6 injectors but change the solinoids on them to original ones off your old one .

[@rondellslaktarn1414]

You solved the lightning problem very good 👍🏻

[@Fjewt]

one thing iike about sweden, 95 is regular ;) and there is 98 at most of the stations

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

And e85 is common there. Not here in the Netherlands where i live

[@andrewp3107]

Great video, keep up the great content!

[@gonowheres]

I had the same shudder during braking it was strut rod bushings

[@clearegtower9468]

Great video, man. You should put out Drifts N' Lifts designs on beanies. I'd rock them.

[@thejalenpskater1]

A Lawrence shirt would be rad

comming right up !

[@MrVaylok]

Hopefully I get a response one this. So on the lh 2.4s how do you stop it from fuel cutting at 14-15psi if it’s controlled via maf

[@KoolNoize]

hey bro I notice them gains! you lift bro????

[@driftsnlifts]

Yea buddy been lifting for 10 years or more . Thats what the lifts in driftsnlifts is !

[@KoolNoize]

@@driftsnlifts well we definitely need more lift videos

[@jasonhass9845]

[@driftsnlifts]

aww yea turbo gang

[@POV_Drive]

I will buy a Lawrence T-shirt for sure. Question, whats the difference of running a manual boost controller compared to a adjustable wastegate? Which one is to prefer

[@driftsnlifts]

awesome ! now that i cant tell you as i have never ran an adjustable wastgate , i love the simplicity of these manual boost controllers though

[@element1680]

Hey I’ve got myself a 1990 740 turbo intercooled wagon. I’m curious how to get pass the overboost cut off when I install the manual boost controller

[@DriftarnDk]

You are fakking djuret! Great content

[@driftsnlifts]

thanks brother

[@SunSun108]

Thanks for the info! keep up the great vids!

[@driftsnlifts]

youre welcome man thanks for watching

[@El_B90]

Old video.. but if I have a 91 940t how do I bypass the over boost solenoid?

[@lakersalex]

Super useful! My b230ft has an IPD turbo cam and I want more power. Before I go 16t this seems like the next step for me. Thanks brotha!

[@driftsnlifts]

glad i could help bro!

[@mattdunham4706]

Great detail bro! Have you ever added a turbo to a stock non turbo ecu? I'm thinking if done right would you even need a standalone?

[@driftsnlifts]

there is many guys who have converted a non turbo to a turbo , since these cars came turbo you just need the turbo ecus as they have proper fuel and ignition curves for a turbo car , you wouldnt want to run na ecus

[@CirocObama.94]

I have the Tdo4 in my 91 940 wagon

[@C0DZombies12]

Notification gang/360p gang 👌 I got a boost controller on my '90 760 as well and it makes a huge difference

[@daw7563]

Are you sure that m46 is bad? If its hard getting into 1st gear and grinds between gears it sound to me like the clutch is not disengaging enough, just try adjusting it first.

[@mattdunham4706]

If it's anything like my M47 there is no adjustment, it's just in right or in wrong like mine :') The shifter bushing could be the weak link.

[@daw7563]

@@mattdunham4706 I'm not sure if/when Volvo started using hydralic clutch on 740/940 but the older ones that are just using a cable are adjustable by turning a plastic wheel on the bellhousing, right where it's holding the cable.

[@dav9407]

How about the b230et engine with motronic? Doesn’t have a lambda so is it safe to increase the boost with a viking chip?

[@MrBEAN584]

when you get knock you get higher octane :p else its kinda useless. but if the ecu got knock sensors with ignition adjustment based on knock you could gain hp by using high octane fuel.

[@driftsnlifts]

and you will get knock if you run higher boost on the stock turbo and ecu . there isnt much knock control on these cars

[@MrBEAN584]

then max octane and crank her til she blows xD

[@jfv65]

brake judder? check/replace he mushroom rubbers in the lower control arms. They tend to go bad over time

[@driftsnlifts]

this car was enthusiast owned and a nice surprise was to see the strut rod bushings replaced with poly urethane

[@turbo740]

Yes they are IPD poly bushings. The brakes have never been great. Caliper pistons or slider pins may be seizing.

[@aggressor6609]

My friend runs 2bar on everything stock

[@Stoplightcircus]

where you get pillar gauge pod?

[@daviduptempo]

i would love a lawrence shirt

I’m really behind on the videos trying to catch up!

[@tylerkyser6511]

Hey I have a 93 Volvo 940 turbo any recommendations on upgrades?

[@JstGdNews]

There are many. From s60r injectors to silicone intake tubing, to climb the differential ad he talks about in this video.

[@marleysthilaire2123]

v70 holds 22psi in turbo if that's any better?? and grab a chip

[@danielserna2901]

anyway to verify if a new car has a turbo cam?

[@thejalenpskater1]

Have you ever thought about doing a wc t5 trans swap?

[@driftsnlifts]

yes but with the cd009 addapter they have now i think that would be a far better option

[@thejalenpskater1]

Drifts N' Lifts I didn’t even know they had an adapter for the cd...I would definitely go that route instead as well. I just want something that’s more reliable once this m47 takes a shit and something I can confidently beat on

[@theredhawk1337]

I would recommend a m90 or a rewelded zf tranny for a tuned 740 turbo. M46 don't like high boost, I trashed mine pretty quick :/

[@TURBOMOOSE]

in Canada and USA we didn't get.m90s unfortunately

[@theredhawk1337]

@@TURBOMOOSE guess he will have to pick one up next time he drives in mexico hehehe. We have a overflow of m90s here in sweden as i think you would imagine😂

[@ethixhiggins5059]

Could the 940 se handle a boost controller on the auto trans

[@HighMansx]

Where'd you get the air filter mount?

[@emiledepondt1291]

same proces for diesel 740?

[@kapex6334]

is that b200et?

[@jfv65]

i once used a K-cam in a turbo 940 and it shifted the onset of boost to about 2750rpm , with a long final drive ratio that is pretty annoying.

[@driftsnlifts]

yea i figured that may happen , i should totally get it on the dyno and see if itd be worth it

[@Juoppolalli]

I really really want a g80 diff on my 940 :D

[@bmos02]

Are you sure you don't have one? I thought my 740 had an open diff but it actually had a broken g80 already. $900 at a tranny shop and it's working mint again.

[@Juoppolalli]

@@bmos02 im 100% sure that i have an open diff :D

[@driftsnlifts]

g80 is decent but not great for drifting imo . i far prefer a welded open diff

[@jfv65]

G80's are not very strong, why not install a TruTrac in the diff? It's a DANA(30?) diff so some Jeep parts also fit in the Volvo diff You have to do some research. For me it's already a long time ago that i messed with Volvo's . I don't remember the details anymore.

[@Juoppolalli]

@@driftsnlifts well i dont really want to change the diff for the inspection since finland has quite strict laws

[@lozas0213]

If your ever in Cali I need you to come help me with my 740 !! It’s not priming !!

[@ricky107_]

Does this work on the 240s?

[@gonowheres]

What is Lawrence’s exhaust?

[@paulsheehan2998]

How do you install a boost gauge in a car that doesn't have a turbo dial in the car?

[@jaimescott8627]

You can tap into one of the vacuum lines on the manifold and run the gauge’s vacuum line through one of the unused plugs in the firewall. Just got my gauge installed yesterday this way

[@purehonda23]

What about a 98 s70 can I do this

[@chknjo]

yes bud

[@rondellslaktarn1414]

M46 or M90?

[@joshjohnson6720]

Having a issue hopefully you can help got a 1994 940 and will not boost at all actually shows vacuum on stock gauge hit me back and we can talk more about it

[@andrewdibben5997]

Just fixed mine shoot me a email

[@SpawnOfSweden]

Damn in Sweden standard is 95 oktane and premium is 98 :P

[@lollol-xp4mc]

Most people in america run 87

[@joeldokken5690]

I do believe it is measured a little different so the 98 there could be identical to 91 in US.

[@KnallenN]

wont you need to change how much fuel it gets and such if you turn up the boost? or is it such a little difference it wont matter?

[@driftsnlifts]

The fuel is automatically added when there is more boost . The ecu sees more air past the air mass meter and inputs fuel accordingly . The max it can compensate is 14psi on the stock turbo

[@KnallenN]

@@driftsnlifts oh cool, only ever had NA redblocks in the past, so i really have no idea how turning up the boost would work. This video was really helpful though

[@DELEREUSD]

I run 30 pounds boost on stock b230ft and it's fine

[@theredhawk1337]

I ran about 20 psi 1.5 bar in My 740 turbo intercooler untill i trashed my 1st and 2nd gears now I have a m47 and I run about 15 psi or 1 bar. I have other injectors a little over 800cc and a 16t13c turbo :D

[@karlp987]

@@theredhawk1337 What is a "16t13c turbo"? Those are two different turbos.

[@theredhawk1337]

karl I think it's uses components from both, like a hybrid

[@ragnargustafsson4319]

Put a m47 hearbox in it instead, it will hold more power.

Is this true for all M47s? My 2nd gear feels perfect but the rest are a bit shitty.

[@nicovanduin1553]

Nope, It's even weaker than the m46
