Ford 2300/Volvo 16V/Holset/Megasquirt
 

I'm the newb... name's Colin. I've got an '85 Merkur XR4Ti. I'm working on adapting a DOHC Volvo head to the Ford 2.3 block... I built a Megasquirt PCB V2.2 for the car... it's got a Holset, NPR IC, fabbed log manifold (poorly fabbed, I might add!), and a Ford Cosworth intake manifold with a Volvo flange (poorly) welded to it. Should be running this summer - hoping for 400+ whp on pump gas. :y

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

wow. welcome

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Sup Colin, nice to see you made it from MNSC. Looks damn good man.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

looking good...but if i read correctly you said you put your bov on your intake manifold? why

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Wow. thats pretty nice.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Nah... the head is off a Volvo, the manifold is off a (euro) Ford... so I welded the intake manifold flange onto it, not a BOV flange. ;)

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

glad to see some of the more intelligent people from mn sport fags comin over here. awesome work, we gotta meet up sometime

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of the "OMG RACERING REACH FOR THE BAN STICK" attitude at the other site... :-\

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

welcome. Cant wait to see everything up and running this summer

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Wow that is some hardcore HMT fabbing, :y Welcome and keep the updates coming it looks like it should be pretty mean when its done.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

i left my reading skills somewhere else today...nice fab work

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Nice man. Who cares about the welds, its HMT :P

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

looks good, especially the head. thumbs up :y

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

looks really good man, and definately not the everyday honda fab stuff so their is a little more work and research on your end, props to you man. What size is that oil feed line? looks a little big..

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

The feed line is -6... I should probably be using a -4AN, but the fitting going into the Holset is a 3/8 inverted flare, and I could only find a 3/8 to -6 fitting (meant for power steering.) I hope I don't blow out my seals... :l

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

It would be a good idea to throw a restrictor valve in that line.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Also, your tag = ------- sweet.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Ford's are teh ghey! You should sell it and get somthing with mad vtak yo
Now post some porn.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Wait a minute... fabrication and porn? I thought the two were synonymous! ;D

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

You can always use a combo of fittings, male to female to reduce down to the size you need for the line. Either way, nice work and get rollin on that pron

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

nice to see you move from the MNSC also, i've been watching the project build on over there, you definetly have some skill and some wicked idea's

Re: I'm the new guy...

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Dammit... all of 'em? :1

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Not for me. Some nice asses. Good job mang.

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

I get red x's too but welcom anyways, like the other mn people said

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

pics work for me... Man you got some hardcore fabrication going on there with the head, these are some serious serious mods. Has that been done before (doubt it but i have to ask?) because it looks pretty hardcore mang :y. That log mani doesnt look that bad, i mean, it is a log but from the way you were talking i was thinking it was gonna be pretty haggard... Looks pretty good

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

i dont think she will ever get old 8)

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

is there any JB weld on that car ???

i don't know if that's quite HMT quality, very nice fab work though and props on the head/block combo. looks like that took alot of calculations and research :6

welcome, i'm still pretty much a noob

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Nah, no JB weld. It's got some spray-paint on it, though... does that count? :l

Colin

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Here are some of my crapass welds... Crapbell Hausfield flux-core MIG (well.. not even MIG, since it doesn't have the Inert Gas part.)

Re: I'm the new guy...

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

Sweet welds :y

Re: I'm the new guy...
 

well i guess the flux core and spray paint(if it's cheap) make up for the JB weld ;)

Re: I'm the new guy...
