No, they are unfortunately completely different in all aspects (bolt holes, shape to body, connector etc.)

Tack 💪

Tack 👍 Njae, då ska du nog ta en titt på anodisering. Inget jag provat eller har någon erfarenhet av men det är så man lägger en beläggning på aluminium 🙂

There is really no need to swap all the fuel lines and rebuild the sending unit to An. The easy thing to do would be to just upgrade the then existing main fuel pump to handle the extra fuel and be done with it. The reason I'm doing it Is because of future flexibility.

Hade jag gjort detta idag så hade jag torrisblästrat motorn på någon firma. Men ja det blev en del vatten, pluggade/tejpade allt som gick och var nog med att torka och avfukta efteråt. Men helt optimalt blir det ju inte förstås. Men hårt packat verkstadspapper i insugskanaler och silvertejp liknade på utstickande rör osv funkar en stund iaf :)

Thanks! Needed to hear that today 👍

Tack! 👍

No, I have not taken the engine apart yet. I will do so in the fall if I have a replacement vehicle for the time it will take. I suspect that there is a problem with either piston-to-wall clearance or a piston pin issue. But it still runs and sounds the same as when I first put it together and doesn't seem to get any worse. No metal in the oil or filter yet, but it sounds terrible. I've had thoughts of swapping out the 945 for a newer car, but every time I use one for an extended period I always feel at home when I get back in the old shitbox 😄

@@BackmansGarage another big plus for the 945 is the good turning circle. Even smaller cars of modern build don’t get such good turning circles. Also the view from it is better than most new cars. Especially the thick a pillars in modern cars are obstructing the drivers overview. Yes i understand thats necessary for all the new additional airbags that increase passager safety but still the driver of a 945 can get a better view of its surroundings.

I think I did that, it's been a while since I did the electric work but I will run the T5 more or less stand alone from the chassies wiring due to the fact that I will run with different engines in this car.

Thanks man 🤜🤛 I try to keep as much of the real experience in the video, even tho sometimes I know it might not be the most "picture perfect" moments 😄

Thank you for that input! Always nice to learn something new 👍 I will be sure to update on how the exhaust holds up over time.

Currently, its the M90 Volvo gearbox. But there is plans to swap it out for BMW or tremec.

So far, I'm pleased with both sound and fitment 👍

True, volvo went back and fourth with different pump setups. Some had the in tank hp pump and some don't. Guess i depends on engine and year of the car. I think its from 1996 onwards they all had pump in tank for the 940. For the 740 i think the 1990-92 turbo models had pump in tank as well but not sure, and now the regina as well 😄 I tried to research it but it was just too random and with differences from country to country.

Im assuming the car started before you changed the belt and in that case check the cam trigger and wheel so that is all in the right place. Get some fault codes read out of the ecu and see if the signal is missing or implaussible.

Thx

Thanks! Glad to be back on the build again 👍

Yeah it really sucks. Wouldn't mind an S4 or something in the future tho 😀

I apparently have a consistency issue here 😄 But thanks, feels good to be back with the build 💪

@@BackmansGarage I understand. Life comes first. I started a youtube channel and posted a few videos of my B5, but im in the process of moving so its definitely tough staying consistent.

Du får nog utveckla 😅

Not sure what you are referring to? It it the EN228 standard ?

@@BackmansGarage You might remember a forum post I did back in 2020 about Porsche backing the introduction of new carbon-neutral fuels for use in internal combustion engines (ICE), which appeared to be a lifeline in ensuring the survival of the classic car movement. According to a recent TorqueCafe report, the consortium behind this initiative - which includes not only Porsche and parent company VW but also the German government and major energy firms like ExxonMobil and Siemens Energy - has announced that a new facility will be built in Australia to produce these so-called eFuels. A location for the new plant is yet to be confirmed, but it most likely will be on the east coast with construction due to commence in 2024. It will be in addition to the recently completed Haru Oni plant in Chile which is scheduled to start production this year. Porsche plans to initially use the fuel produced at the Chile plant to power its Supercup competition and other motor sport activities before it gets the green light for sale to the general public. Porsche is also backing this venture to ensure that its iconic sports cars - the 911 and 718 - can continue to be powered by ICEs. F1’s proposed switch to this fuel could also be the catalyst for Porsche's return to Grand Prix racing. As mentioned in my first post, these 'eFuels' are created through a new process that combines hydrogen and carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from the atmosphere, resulting in a synthetic liquid fuel which is claimed to be carbon-neutral, as it only emits the same amount of CO2 that was used to make it. And that applies to both petrol and diesel engines. Porsche says a major advantage is the eFuel’s ease of introduction, as it could be used in all ICEs and make use of existing petrol station networks. Clearly, this eFuel could eventually replace petroleum and presents a practical alternative to battery electric power, not only in cars but also heavy road transport, shipping and commercial aviation. It could also mean that the doomsayers, predicting the inevitable death of the world’s vast classic car industry due to petroleum being banned, will be proven wrong. This is a promising development for classic car owners, particularly in Australia.

It's an interesting topic and subject for discussion. It would be nice to make a video about my take on the future of ICE but that would take me months of prep and editing. But I for one don't believe that 100% electrification is feasible at this time or in the coming 50 years unless something drastic happens surrounding the way we make and, most of all, distribute the electricity. But there is no doubt that the best way to power a car is by the electric motor, it always has been. Legislation and price are the two biggest concerns I have with it all. I find it hard to see a car like the Volvo 740/940 being financially feasible within 5-15 years on pump-gas, synthetic or not. But the ICE will live on, no doubt about that, we just won't be able to daily them as we are today. Just take the Horse for example, it used to be the "car" but now it's pretty much limited to its own events and tracks and not feasible for everyday use. I think the ICE will go the same way. Probably with restrictions on things like fuel. But hey, if we can make carbon-neutral fuel on an enormous scale to feed the entire fleet of cars, trucks, boats etc and have them run in engines that produce zero emissions and pollutants then sure, I don't see why that can't be a possible future. But I'm not educated enough to make a qualified guess on all this, there is a lot to dig into. @@ricksampson6780

@@BackmansGarageI agree with your sentiments, cheers.

🫡 Thanks for watching

Ja, det där med att starta företag va inte helt så enkelt som jag trodde 😄 får satsa på UA-cam istället.
