Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Today I did a bit more procrastina.... uummm... general repairs on the Volvo :) But the reason for the procrastination was my other Volvo, which needed a new exhaust (yes, it would actually need an EV swap, but for now that's not feasible). And the exhaust replacement was sponsored by Damien's favor...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Another issue that occured to me was the clearance to the hood. While it would be convenient to sit in the engine compartment and then close the hood, there is a real risk of getting trapped under the hood... I HEARED ... (not looking at anyone specifically) . Therefore you have to live with this pi...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
"Is the project dead?" I hear you asking. The answer is: no :D The past week I've been on "vacation" in the south to clear my head from work related stuff, but the previous week, a lot of parts arrived already: - Mitsubishi Outlander Charger (another one, yes. It was cheap, don't...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
The Volvo V70XC is quite rare and parts for it are even rarer. Currently there are less than 10 Volvo V70XC for sale in Germany :O In the second generation, the XC70, the rear axle configuration is completely different as far as I know, so no parts are interchangeable. (And if it wasn't completely s...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Not much progress this week, but some odds and ends got done or at least started. First of all I started with a mount for the Hella UP28 vacuum pump. It lives in the spot where the old ignotion coil used to be, which is obviously not needed anymore. Unfortunately the design is flawed and the pump do...

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
The internet says that the diff is the same as in the E36 compact, which should be available (somewhat) plentiful. At least compared to Z3 differentials.
The compact had 3.07 and 3.23 in the 323ti and 323tiA (which stands for Automatic I guess?): http://www.e36racing.de/differenzial.php

Re: I just bought a Mitsubishi Outlander charger. - Now What?
It looks like you might need a cable gland for the high voltage port, so this might interest you: viewtopic.php?t=3563 (shameless plug...umm..gland ).

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Today was scrubbing day. Since I need the engine block as a reference for the location of the engine mounts and CV axle support bearing, it has to be somewhat clean to be handled. I don't want to get dirty hands just by thinking about touching the block :D PXL_20240224_110357429.jpg PXL_20240224_123...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Today was a busy day, we got the engine yeeted out and disassembled. We decided it would be easiest to disassemble the whole front end. In the next few days I'll remove the front subframe and clean everything. PXL_20240223_152640216.jpg WhatsApp Image 2024-02-23 at 16.54.27.jpeg PXL_20240223_1526496...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
If you do disturb the paint / galvanized layers you could use por15 metal prep, leaves a zinc layer on steel as a great / protected base for paint. Well POR15 is not really available in Germany (anymore) and I've heard mixed reviews about it. It apparently cracks after a couple of years, letting mo...

Re: Inverter doesn't run motor
Damien had problems with the Enova motors where the resolvers got lose and I think the cable was either unshielded or the shielding was attached somewhere where it would pick up noise from the inverter. There are some videos from him about the topic, you should find them when searching for "Eno...

Re: Develop a QCA7000 board?
The issue that can arise is that the solder flows into the via and not enough solder is left for the actual component. It's not much of an issue for hand soldering but it can lead to tombstoning in the reflow process.

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
Consider hammering the metal in there before cutting the housing. I did consider that, but I'll have to see if there's enough clearance for the carpet left when doing that. Other than that I would prefer not to disturb the original galvanziation and potentially create a place for rust to start. But...

Re: [WIP] Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor

The latter was quite challenging because the screws in the clamp connecting the catalytic converter to the muffler were rusted beyond recognition and the rear exhaust pipe was welded to the muffler at some point. Even the small piece o...

Well that's the reason why it's not a good idea to use external image hosters. At somepoint all of them delete images and then the forums are just plastered with dead linksbarracuda816 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 12:01 pm Not sure if its just me but I can't see any pictures though.

Re: Volvo Vee70 with Outlander Rear Motor
why not just use the outlander gearbox? much much more efficient and lighter! Well that has multiple reasons: - I'm not sure if anyone has done that and it's possible that the internal gearing is so high that the car will have trouble accelerating from standstill (like with the Lexus MGR). - The CV...

Hello! Soooo, this has been going on for quite some time in the background and today I bought the car to be converted, so it's time to start a thread I guess. What is it? The car in question is a black 1997 (Model Year 1998) Volvo V70 I with a 170HP B5254F engine and a five speed manual gearbox. I b...
