 I was kinda bored with the normal swaps that've been done so I did something different. Mazda 2.3 engine with forged internals backed by a ford ranger 5 speed automatic transmission with an Electromotive TecGT ECU and Powertrain Control Solutions TCU. The car starts via a touch sensitive start button from Phantom Electronics, the gear selection is also automated via push buttom shifter from PCS. Suspension up front uses cut IPD sport springs around Bilsten HD dampers and Kaplhenke top mounts. The front control arms are lightweight cro-moly tig-welded units from Kaplhenke Racing also.
The rear suspension is all kaplhenke as well with no rubber bushings, all solid end's on 4130 tubes. The rear has been converted to coilovers with Koni yellow dampers and Eibach 250lb 10" springs. Fuel system consists of an Aeromotive 340lph "stealth" intank pump feeding a Walbro 255lph inline pump in serial, feed line is -6 aluminum going to a -6 Russell fuel filter, and AEM fuel pressure regulator. Custom made fuel rail with Siemens Deka IV 60lb/hr injectors. Base pressure is set at 50psi.
Engine block is from a 2009 Mazda3, stock crank, balancers removed and blocked with a STEEL block-off. Eagle rods, CP 8.5:1 pistons, ARP main studs, ARP head studs, Cometic head gasket and Crower Valve springs with titanium retainers.
The intake manifold and plumbing is all custom made, I made the intake from Ross Machine Racing parts, to get it all to fit I had to remove the vac. brake booster. The turbo header is actually for a honda, but I chopped the honda head flange off and used a mazda flange.
Turbo is a brand new Garrett GT3071R with a .82 exhaust housing and the big 4" inlet.
Intercooler is 12x24x3 with custom elbows tig welded to the inlet and outlet to minimize intake coupler length. Wastegate and Blow off valve are Tial units which were purchased new at the start of this project.
Exhaust is all 3" stainless with 3 v-band connections for easy removal. The first muffler is a 3" magnaflow stainless muffler under the passenger, and the back muffler is a 3" inlet Borla with 2-2.5" outlets that exit in the stock location. The car is actually pretty quiet and does not drone going down the road despite having 3" tubing. The entire exhaust is stainless, this cost a lot of money to custom make, but I did it all myself so....
The interior is mostly stock with a few added gauges. The two front seats are Corbeau Forza with sliders I purchased from corbeau circa 2003?
The stock chassis wiring harness has been completely removed in favor of a Painless Wiring kit, the fuse panel has been relocated to the glovebox with blade fuses instead of the old ceramic euro fuses. Power windows all work.
*few details I've had questions about*
There is an innovate wideband controller and sensor wired into the car, there is also a LED display that I installed into the stock dashboard made by SDS EFI.
There is also an onboard EGT monitoring system by PCS, one channel per cylinder is used, it can log up to 8 channels, but I'm currently only using 4. All of the egt module signals are sent via CAN to the Dashlogger and can be logged and displayed on the dashboard or on a graph via laptop.
The gear selector is electronic push button operated and you can find more info on it @ www.ptcs.us. This car was probably the first car to ever test this gear select module in daily use. It's a very quick responding precise unit and it retails for over $1k. It's a really awesome conversational piece at car shows.
A few people asked about the condition of the interior and exterior, and my reply was.. I'm not selling a show car I'm mainly selling a really nice drivetrain, electronics and high end heim joint suspension with a shitbox wrapping it all together. If you attempted to purchase all of the parts I purchased brand new to build this car, you'd be in the area of $25k+ before labor... this is a steal since it's been assembled and tuned.
The radiator is a ebay unit for a mustang with a custom made shroud for two 12" fans.
Optima red top battery relocated to the trunk
There is a jegs trans cooler with -6 ends mounted in front of the intercooler. The cooler lines are crimped stainless braided lines made at parker hose.
Turbo oil feed and is a -4 and drain is a -10 parker made hose (the drain was 60 bucks alone!)

***Wiring schematics are included with the car (I tried to make this build as easy to service as possible)***

This car is not a joke, at 60% throttle it blows the rear tires off on the 1-2 shift, at 100% throttle it barks the tires hard on the 2-3 shift. It's not a car you can hop in and floor the throttle with. It's currently tuned at 20psi on pump fuel and it's almost fast enough to scare me.
Serious inquiries only.
Cash talks
I may accept a partial trade for a street bike or drag car and cash.

Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'

Volvo's oldest model earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Volvo ought to be tooting its horn over this one. The XC90, an SUV that has essentially been on sale for over 10 years, just captured a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The TSP+ is a new title, reserved for cars that earn "Good" or "Acceptable" ratings on each IIHS crash test.
This is a difficult feat for a new car - Toyota's new Corolla infamously failed to net a Top Safety Pick+ earlier this year - largely because of the new small overlap front tests, which have left many automakers struggling. But Volvo, somehow, was able to conquer the tests with a car that predates the original iPhone by a few years. The XC90 earning a Top Safety Pick+ is like Betty White taking the gold in the decathlon. With Volvo in the midst of working on the XC90's replacement, we're curious to see just how well a more modern version does in crash testing. Take a look down below for the crash test video and a press release from IIHS.
