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
มุมมอง 1.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 1.1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 9K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 2.4K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
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
มุมมอง 3.9K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
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...

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.
You asked for critique on welding so I’m really nit picking for this comment and I’m 100% not hating because it’s awesome seeing supporting mods being done. I personally wouldn’t blow cold air on that weld, I’d let it cool down slowly in its own time. You’ll probably be okay, but quickly cooling welded metal can cause brittleness and fractures.
That's a good point, and now that I think about it, seems like common sense. Thanks for the feedback!
Im running MaxxEcu on my B230. The Mini will Work but is Basic and without wideband. Do yourself a Favor spend the Money and get the Sport. Bluetooth and MDash is a Huge plus and you can Upgrade to electronic Throttle body, wideband Controller included too
After feedback from others and doing some more research, I think this is what I’ll do. I really thought the Mini could do DBW for some reason. Thanks for the input.
Following closely. 16v+t 142 is one of my absolute favorite setups!!
Thanks, I'm hoping it ends up as good in real life as it is in my head.
ah to have rust free cars and no regulations on suspension, wheels, hp and custom engine swaps
Yeah, I'm really fortunate in that regard. I lived in California when I bought this car, and that's the only reason I didn't get a 240. Pre-1976 vehicles there are exempt from emissions testing and therefore engine swap regulations. Now that I live in rural Oregon, the sky's the limit. Pretty crazy, actually.
As someone currently building a B230 16v 92 240 wagon, please keep us updated on this project/that head
That’s the plan.
I frickin LOVE this video, the style, the music the everything. I need to see more. Great work sir
Thanks! Hoping to have some more regular videos as time and money permit.
I've been following you on Instagram for years waiting to see the 140 again. I didn't even know you had a TH-cam channel till this video was recommended to me. The Internet works in mysterious ways 😂.
I like jazz, I love cars and I hope you like new subscribers
Sounds like a good situation for both of us.
TH-cam suggested you to me. Not mad at all. Keep it up!
Great project and pro quality video. Keep up the great work.
those tires are too tall for the wheel wells, with 35's you need to clearance the arch and run some flares. greetings from Iceland
I’ve trimmed a bunch of the fender out and so far it’s working pretty well without flares.
142's look so good going down a curvy road. the turbo chugs make it even better
Elite1500 would be my pick. Superior to the maxxecu, capable of DBW, 4D tuning and short and long term knock control as well as a bunch of other stuff. The premium harness is super easy to wire.
This is good info. Now that I know the Maxx Mini can’t do DBW, I’m looking at the sport. And at that price, it’s in the same ballpark as the Elite1500…
@@tfrasca142 Again the Maxx Sport has no knock sensor support. It would be wise to utilise something with knock sensors imo.
I'd definitely go for a maxxecu sport as a minimum..
16vt swap buddies. Mine has also taken 4~ years. But I've only done a stock b230fb with h beams and fly cut pistons, rebuilt and upgraded head, gt3583r, 4l60e I've rebuilt, kl racing intake with mustang 75mm throttle (so i have a nice iac and position sensor too). I've done a video of my gearbox adaptor on my TH-cam.
Rad, I’ll check it out. Sounds like a cool project. What are you using for engine management?
@@tfrasca142 megasquirt v3 on the engine and micro on the ecu
I just bought nice clean V40, as daily untill i rebuild Lando.
