Finally got to an AWD dyno to see where my current power levels are at.

The Spec Stage III+...

Volvo Part Number 9181693. Febest 45x75x19 - on Amazon about $75. Same part used on on V70/850 AWD right axle. 3520570 is the lock collar.

The freewheel mechanism is what engages the VC in reverse - so you may have a failing unit - since the VC & freewheel mechanism are combined in the unit. The rear diff has a posi, but unlikely to be...

There is only one head casting for all '98's, period. The casting # will be the same as for a 2.3L, though. The cams are what differs between HPT(2.3L) and LPT(2.4l), and the casting # won't indicate...

The long block (engine with NO accessories, wiring, etc) will bolt right in. ANY wiring, ancillaries, breather system, etc should be retained from the '98.

The turbo on an 850 is slightly larger...

Just went over 151515 recently

Runs quite nicely

Not true. Was this on an 850/x70 ME4.x?

Did you do any sort of data logging to confirm what your injector duty cycle was, I'm betting it wasn't pretty.

I get 75% injector duty cycle @ WOT on...

Yeah, I'll probably end up going that route. I'm reticent about unnecessary cutting of the sheet metal.

'00's seem to eat bevel gear spline couplings in my experience. I've replaced several, and all for the same reason, the coupling failed & ate the BG splines.

The system is otherwise identical &...

Did you take any additional pics? Snaking the sender out would be a good one to see.

I'm probably going to do this before too long, as I'm now running 355WHP, the stock fuel pump is the weakest...

You need to check for vacuum leaks. Car won't idle if you have a severe enough one; once you open the throttle, it can overcome the metered air being lost.

Have someone listen under the hood while...

R/s is AWD specific. L/S is the same for either.

Try FCP Groton

Lets see - bought @ 100K, now 135K.

Modification & service expenses over the past 2 years at least 10K :rolleyes:

Well over 300WHP. I'm refining my current tune now, then I'll dyno again. AWD dyno runs aren't cheap - $200+ in my area, so it's not a frequent event :rolleyes: Last dyno with the same hardware...

Thanks for (the douchey way of) pointing that out :D - I have that problem sometimes with transposing letters.

Good to see you today!

You've gotta get that M66, T5 motor in & get the tune!!

Too many Troopers on the road today, didn't get to tweak my Turbo Tuner map much on the 3 hour drive home :(

You bought it? Looks like a nice example!

Yes, but they can be interchanged, just like angle gears.. The difference are thing like center bearing size, etc, which do not impact the flange fitment, or overall length which didn't change in...

Late 98 - 00 VC's can be interchanged. I've used all three years in my late 98.

I bought a used one from either Stranberg or VandS (forget which) the first one (from a 98) was bad - made noise &...

IF it leaks again; you will need to completely degrease the sleeve (see previous post) splines , and then the same for the trans output splines. You will need to place a lint-free cloth around the...

The car's over ten years old - you should replace the timing belt/tensioner & idler (if it has play) even though you're technically under the mileage interval. The serpentine & serpentine tensioner...

It's on the selector shaft on top of the tranny, towards the front of the trans.

Get the replacement, and it will become obvious.

Clunking/clicking on turns is usually front axles - left axle on right turns, right axle on left turns.

Center driveshaft doesn't matter whether you're turning or not - any movement in any...

You didn't replace those hoses when you did the Oil trap?? Sounds like you have a vacuum leak, if pinching that hose improves the running/idling.

The larger oil trap hose (D) also goes to the...
