Building a Volvo B230 16-Valve Turbo Engine: Part 1
I think this is technically the second episode of what I hope will be a cohesive series about my Volvo 142 Turbo project. In this video, we'll assemble the B230 bottom end that I've had in my garage for a couple years. It's getting lots of shiny, upgraded parts that should make for a durable path to a 400 horsepower Volvo.

PROJECT INTRO: Resurrecting My 16-Valve Turbo Volvo 142
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed 2 měsíci
After letting it sit for nearly 5 years, I'm jumping back into my favorite project car. In this video, I'll give you a brief history of my 1968 Volvo 142, and start the process of swapping the engine.
Lifted 944 Road Trip Prep
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 4 měsíci
I'm driving the 944 from up here in Oregon, down to Santa Cruz, CA to work and ride bikes. It needed a few things before I felt it was road trip worthy, so here's a video log of all that work.

I've been wanting to put the Disco on (metric) 35s for a bit, and in this video, I'll show you everything I needed to do to make that happen. I'm making it harder on myself but not wanting to use fender flares, so gaining the needed clearance is a bit of work. 00:00 - Intro 00:37 - RTE 3" Springs 05:35 - Rear Suspension Link 07:51 - Making Rear Trailing Arms 16:31 - Driving Impressions
Aux Beam 360-Pro 9" Driving Lights for my Land Rover Discovery

NEW PROJECT: I lifted my Porsche 944
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 6 měsíci
I've been trying to decide what to do with this car pretty much since I got it, and I finally figured it out. In this video, I install coilovers, tires, and lights to turn my 944 into a pretty solid base for a "safari" car.
A Little Snow Will Change a Trail
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 7 měsíci
I've made a couple videos of this trail for the channel, but never in the snow. This is just a short video of a trip up to the top in my Discovery. Hopefully the forecast is accurate and we get some real snow soon. If and when that happens, I'll go do my best to get stuck.
Discovery in the Woods
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed 7 měsíci
Shannon and I checked out a new zone in Lane Country, Oregon. Finding some rocks to slide around on was cool, but finding dozens of bottles and cans was not. People need to do better. Anyway, these trails (tracks if you're Australian) weren't bad, but I'd say they were close to the limit of what I'd want to do with 33" tires. I guess the Disco needs 40s...

Awesome Videos! Keep up the great work
Thanks!
Really cool project! I'm building an 8v turbo redblock for my yellow 77 244 with around the same power goals. Looking forward to the next episode!
Nice! I love the early 240s. Next episode should be a good one, just collecting parts.
.047 - .018' = .019'. Danger danger! You need .04' per 1000rpm squish minimum, 0.05' is safer so you need at least 0.032' for 8000rpm. I'd be looking at a thicker cometic hg to get the clearance given the 16v likes to rev.
Ok this is good info! So you’re saying I’m at risk of the piston hitting the head itself, not even just the valves?
Also, I assume you mean .004-.005 per 1000 rpm, right?
Also also, it looks like the math is wrong. .047-.018=.029. That's still not enough for 8k given your formula, but at least it's closer to being safe for 7k. Seems like I should be looking at an MLS gasket around .5? Sorry for the rapid fire replies, just trying to figure this out. Would you use stock bolts with an MLS gasket? I don't want to use the ARP studs I have, as I've heard they lose clamp load over time because the washers dig into the aluminum head surface, and they don't have the right elasticity for aluminum expansion.
@@tfrasca142 yeah sorry. It's still very close. You should use a dial guage to measure the difference too.
@@tfrasca142 and I've not heard about issues with head studs. They offer superior clamping so it's a no brainer to use.
Fog lights on the bottom make it look all 🤓
100% agree. Little buck toothed Porsche.
It kinda looks like a truck from the top?
Yeah I guess I can see that. It’s that big glass hatch looking like an open truck bed.
@@tfrasca142 I kinda want to buy one and make it a truck lol
7 star scale lmao wtf man Awesomevid tha ks for the help
good job!! looks like a great build!
Thanks! I'm still waiting on a few more parts to bolt the head on, but hopefully those show up and we can continue soon.
I'm glad I came across this video. I have a D1 with a 2" Terrafirma lift done by the previous owner and have been wondering why it steers so twitchy and is terrifying to hit highway speeds. Will definitely be doing this soon.
What offset wheels mate and will they be the same as my discovery 2
0mm offset, but Discovery 1 and 2 bolt pattern are very different.
Nice work
Spring compressors are always a big pucker factor for me haha. Love the video
Same. So much potential for disaster.
Love the vid and the head pop at 4:01 😂😂. 👌
Perfect!. 👌🏼
What is your suspension setup? I’m picking up a 145 project this weekend 😅
Hell yeah, love to see more 140s out there! I have GAZ adjustable shocks, lowering springs from Classic Swede, and IPD front and rear sways.
@@tfrasca142 Awesome! Thanks man! So this is a long shot, but you wouldn't happen to have your old intake manifold from your 8v would you?
No, I sold the whole head/intake/injector setup a few years ago.
If you only had one set of snow chains for the disco would you lock the div in low range and put them on the rear tires. Cheers
That’s probably what I’d do, yeah.
hi mate you get de rubber seal on the wrong place .you have to put the seal over the treats
That makes sense, thanks. I’ll have to change that next time I’m in there.
Dude fantastic job and thank you a ton for sharing this....will be doing this as well God Willing....make sure you replace the fuel lines with something that can't catch on fire....a TON of 944's go up in flames....and google for the other causes too....I forget the other cause, but has to do with clutch line or brake line I believe....it can burst and catch on fire since under high pressure and by exhaust as well.
Thanks, glad it was helpful. I’ve since replaced the fuel lines with some nice Rennbay ones.
❤🔥
I'm not sure if I missed something but there were no springs when you removed the shock absorbers?
The rear suspension uses torsion bars as springs. I removed the shocks but left the torsion bars in.
@@tfrasca142 Thanks. That's good to know as I need to refresh the suspension on my 944.
"I definitely don't remember spending the money" 🤣
Holy crap man YESSS!! I applaud you for your attention to detail. I can't imagine how much work went into the filming and editing alone.
Thanks! Yeah, filming and editing easily triples the time it takes to get stuff done.
The slow tedious process. That thing looks great though!
Thanks Dean! I figured if you can get so much work done on that yellow 142, along with having like 39 other cars, I should be able to at least put an engine in mine…
@@tfrasca142 its a struggle as you know but little bites at a time is all it takes. This video makes me want to dig out my “extra cam” B230.
Just a tip - The oil plug on the front by the water pump is unfiltered oil, i recommend a filter on you oil feed line 😁
Ah, I didn’t think of that. Thanks!
At this rate I might as well stick a good ol red block in my car 😂 Stoked to see some progress on it, Tyler!
To be fair, my success rate with red blocks is 0/1 so far…
Exited to see the process as I'm studying an auto mechanic course and will be doing this in a couple weeks!
Hey mate, imo I used hd flanges for a couple years and found they chewed out splines on standard cvs because they are a harder material. I recently rebuilt the whole front end hub to hub and decided to go back to standard flanges as they are easier to replace. I find the genuine rubber caps have never cracked or come off for me. Just food for thought, love all your videos and how you make them keep up the great work 👍
That's an interesting point, thanks for the heads up. I'm due for CVs in the next year or so, so I'll see how the wear looks.
Sick
One thing I shoot the one beam slightly into the brush. we have wild game issues here . but it keeps aware of anything trying to cross the road. Thank you for your content and friend of LR is a frien of mine. I hope you take my input as just sharing ideas. Keep on sharing and wheelin. After all there a reason travel in convoy. Peace of mind in numbers hehe
Im sure its a troll, BUT :) the split washers is a locking washer tha is designed to bite int the contact surface and henc locks it in place. if you place to the contact surface, it will bit into that surface and ruin the pain/powder coating. So thats why there is a flat washer for it to bite into. :)
My comment on that was about the fact that they provide a split washer AND a nylock nut. The nylock nut should be more than enough to keep it all tight.
@@tfrasca142 ah of course. Keep enjoying and modifying the Landy
Thank you, please share with your thought on the terrafirma after 9 months? Its interesting, I had similar symptoms to you. But i Solved them with tie rods, steering rod and panhard rods. on defenders with 33" and 25" tyres. Thats why I love LR, no two are the same :)
As far as the radius arms themselves are concerned, I have no complaints at all. They seem plenty strong enough for me. I do think that 6 degrees MAY have been too much, because now with the 4" lift, I get a slight vibration coming from the front under acceleration.
@@tfrasca142 Thats interesting, who is lifting the 4 inches? Coils, brackets?
Great vid, a quick mention on the "silicone" we prefer to use gasket sealer. We have found, at least here in Africa, with loads of water crossing the "paper" gaskets seem to seep. And looking at the state of you, they looked quite good. So maybe it was gasket sealer. Top tip. keep them well sealed and well-greased. That will extend the life of the shafts and members.
Good call. I think next time I pull them out, I'll use some gasket sealer there. Plenty of moisture here in the Pacific Northwest, too.
