The original s2000 concept drawing had a inline 5. Still mounted behind the shocks. Always been on my bucket list. Altho. Probably would use a rs3 engine(my original plan was the old vr5 but they too old now).
No that is not cool. This engine have solid cam bucket and that's mean you need to adjust Valve clearence from time to time but with this desing it is impossible to do without special tool
@@Luminous65 oh no..... you would need a special tool every 100k km... i would rather have a strong as fuck engine and spend 50 euros on a special tool.. but hey, someone has to find the problem in everything
@@Luminous65 not really, the 83mm blocks (all 2.5's and most of the 2.4 versions) crack a cylinder liner pretty easily, the specific 2.4 in this video is the strongest variant internals wise of all the volvo 5 cylinders. And the engine in the fords also has the camshaft bearing caps integrated in the valve cover...
Did y'all keep the same height buckets on the valves they belong on? They have numbers on the underneath that indicate the spec from tip to lifter face and that correlates with the appropriate lash on each valve. You can't just throw them back in anywhere, you should record the location when you take them out and put them back in where they came from. FYI
Man i actually already thought of doing the same welding of 2 bellhousings instead of using adapter plates, it seems a lot easier actually. You wouldn't have a video on how it was done do you? I want to swap a honda k series in my tacoma, using a toyota trans and welding part of a honda bellhousing, what i like about toyota is removal bellhousings. I have to use yota trans to keep the factory cluster working cause its a cable speedometer etc. Plus i like the look of oem gauges working.
Ah you're beating me to it! I've been planning the same build for over a year now. You've already solved a few problems for me, and I can't way to see how you tackle getting it into the car. Quick question though, I was going to use adapter plates for the gearbox, as there's a few companies that sell them. But with the welding, how did you ensure that it was going to stay flat, true, and square to the box? Did you create a jig?
Will the diesel gearbox have weird ratios for a petrol engine? My experience is with older stuff where diesels had less power and torque and gearboxes had less ratios and the ratios/final drive had to be organised to suit. Is this less problem on more modern stuff?
Diesels often make more Torque than a comparable "petrol" engine. They also don't rev out as high. A 2l "petrol" will often rev out past 8k rpm. Comparable diesel less than 6k. This means the ratios are longer on a diesel they have the torque to pull it along rather than needing the HP up top
how much different is this Volvo 2.4 engine compared to an VW 07k for example? only curious as that's one of the only other 5 cylinders being used for swaps that I know of.
These engines have a tendency to crack at the relief cut between cylinders at high torque levels, adding shims helps stabilize the cylinder and prevent failure.
Cracks can occur where the cylinder wall is thin, which is mostly those 4 slots between the cylinders. Shims in between 'merges' the two cylinder walls, effictively making them thicker.
@ so were the slits between cut or did they come from the factory that way? Based on what you’re saying, sounds like yatajoris machined those gaps? Thanks for the insight!
@@cocoboderedu17360 the cilinder walls are thinnest between one each other. They flex and can start cracking under boost. To try and prevent that I added the shims
Can someone explain why exhaust manifold is so weird? Why one cylinder has runner so long, and then connects to shortest runner just before turbo? Is this somehow better than simple log manifold design?
well theres some debate in the volvo world about that, the engine in this video normally has a different style exhaust manifold. They put the older style on, because people in the forums always shouted that the old design flowed better. Which I think it does not, seems like a very restrictive design at least for the long runner. But thats my opinion.
Yeah some say it flows better. The main difference is also sound. You can hear a difference and in my opinion this one sounds better. There is also a log style manifold available. Might try that and see dyno results
I think I’ve seen this build on TikTok? Super unique build, can’t wait for more
@@connorchisholm6854 yeah, build blew up on TikTok and Instagram
A legendary engine in a legendary car - sick build mate!

A Volvo 5 cilinder in a Miata?? Immediately subscribed!!
The first MX5 video I clicked on willingly in my life. 5 cylinder is always a catch word for me as an Audi guy.
Great job Dude, I'm following you on Instagram but youtube format is more mine! Thanks for your video.
That's an original swap.
Ive been following on instagram for a while! Great to see it coming together!
Lekker bezig kerel 👍 dikke build en goede keuze voor motor 👌
Nice work my man, love the project
Cool seeing something different.
Dit project gaat moker vet worden! 🔥💪
Hey! I've been following this on tiktok
beautiful engine!!!! And mad respect for the skills!
Very clean work👏
I´m so hyped for the results
Its a super build and Will be a super swap ❤
Gaaf man! Misschien handig voor mensen als mij die nog niet alles weten, wat overlays met uitleg wat er gebeurt!
Aankomende videos leg ik ook zoveel mogelijk uit. Dat miste hier inderdaad
Finally someone is doing it!
Awesome video mate. Very interested in this as I plan the same swap with an rx8
never seen a valve cover double as cam caps, thats so cool
@@UnstableAdrianHD yeah pretty interesting engine. Same with the bottom end. No main caps, just one large carriage. Makes it super strong though
No that is not cool.

Mx5's, whiteblocks, redblocks, scandix... we're friends dude. hahahaha
Great job dude, keep up 🔥
lekker bezig man! cool project ik hou van 5 cilinders =)
Sick werk, ben benieuwd!
Sick👌
Ben benieuwdddd😍😍😍😍
heel nice man!

Not really a how to, but there's more content on my Instagram reels (instagram is also Yatajoris)
Sick!

Poahh wat een vakwerk! Ben benieuwd naar het eindresultaat! Is dit nog een beetje goed op kenteken te krijgen bij de RDW?
Ja omkeuren is niks ongekends
where are the frikandelbroodjes and the vomar 30 cents energy drinks?
@@alexvangeffen2770 frikandel broodjes op😭
what are the metal strips he's inserting between the cylinders?

Yeah made a jig. It's on my Instagram (also Yatajoris)
What size tap did you use for the oil drain hole on the block?
M22x1.5
I drilled it to the right tapping size first. Then I put in an10 bung
Nice

Just saw rhis in FB and I am here to see full video. What is function of the shims?
@@zdravo4 to prevent cracks between cylinder walls when more boost is added
@ ah so, wish you good luck woth the project

Is the pilot adaptor steel?
Yeah
C45 steel
@@yatajoris you’ll need some kind of d if a brass or oilite bush between the crank and the input shaft other it’ll bind up and squeal
Did you consider the SI6 engines? Volvo claimed that they were 1mm shorter than the 5-cylinders. Was the weird accessory drive a deal-breaker?
As I was watching I was thinking the same thing, I would imagine blocks are a little more expensive too
If only youd have chosen a 5cyl audi engine the company i work for has a billet oil pan already designed for the swap!!
Lijp!!
You use betetr and bigger gear box as my Opel Ascona A. I use gs6-37D gear box it shod be good 700nm.
This is it's bigger brother the GS6-53DZ
Why are you putting metal plate between cylinders ?

@@blokshredder1276 its that way out of the factory, my guess is for even cooling and/or expanding of the cylinder wall.
are these volvo i5's reliable at all?
They are known to be very reliable... They also hold pretty good power honestly...
1:00 semi closed deck block huh
Pretty common on these. Just a cheap safety measure
I don't Know volvo engines at all but i have à question : why do you put little piece of scrap metal between the cylinders ? 🤔
@@cocoboderedu17360 the cilinder walls are thinnest between one each other. They flex and can start cracking under boost. To try and prevent that I added the shims
OK it's the first time i see this, thanks for your Light 😁 Nice build, very interesting and instructive videos bro 😁👌 sry for my english 😅
@@cocoboderedu17360 it is a common practice on 5 cyls in focuses st mk2 and volvo
with honda you do this aswell with the block guards.. but its debated if it really does anything
