sup /o/,
So basically I want to learn how to modify cylinder heads.
I want to do it properly and make a flowbench to measure any improvements I make.

Does anyone have any information on building a flowbench?

Not the design I would use.
An orifice plate style bench would be the easiest to use, but not the easiest to build.
A pitot style bench would be cheaper to build, but harder to calibrate and need calculations to interpret results.

Well I have a pretty sweet build in mind I want to see what /o/ thinks. First some basics, it is a 1.6 liter 16valve SOHC L4. Fuel delivery is MPFI, Ignition is distributed. Compression is being dropped to 8:1 as to be forced inducted (turbocharged).

Volvos use a plasticy paper type stuff to carry all the circuits across the taillight assembly. You may need a replacement, to check:

Put the car in reverse, have someone hold the brake (or you could jam a piece of wood between the brake/clutch pedal and seat), and turn the light by the round plastic holder in it's slot, it might not get the best connection where it normally sits. Try swapping the round plastic holder that hooks onto the assembly, or even the way the lightbulb sits in it's holder.

Had the same problem with a brake light on my 760 Tarbo, always acting up.

Just use mad Google-fu skills to figure out what spring rate you need and who you can talk to local to you to get a set made.

If you've got a site that sells springs, I bet they have a sales rep you could talk to that could recommend a rate based on your dampers, vehicle, and intended application. Or, if the sales rep can't help, you KNOW there's some engineer in the back room that'd just wet his panties to figure it out for you.

I'd recommend at the very least figuring out what the stock spring rate is, and probably talking to Bilstein to see what spring rates they recommend for your dampers.

yeah, I'm thinking that there might be a slight chance of awesome, considering the guy I bought this from bought it and didn't do anything to it. he was getting shit from his douchebag neighbors about having unregistered vehicles on his property so my grandpa and I bought it and towed it to his house.
fuckin cool guy, my grandpa is. he's big on mechanic stuff, where I got into computers and stuff. I'm mechanically inclined but I don't know the first thing about engines other than what they physically do.

I had the very first year GLH, the '84. Bought it new and drove it for four years before selling it to my brother. Fun to drive, not a lot of power (the turbo versions were later) . Was rear ended in Boston by an RX7 doing maybe 30mph... put small bend in my bumper, whilst destroying the whole nose of the RX7 :) The only mechanical problem I recall having was a clutch cable breaking. Also, lol at deep dish steering wheel.

>I'd argue it'll handle better, be more reliable and use less fuel than a Magna too.
Magna is one of the best handling full size sedans ever made in Australia. Compare a TJ to the AU falcons that were out at the time.
Magnas regularly do over 250,000kms before they truly start breaking.
And last but not least, a manual magna will do around 8.5L/100km on the freeway.
Show me the 4 cylinder that does that at 120kph.

Plus, a Magna manual will make a joke out of any Civic bar Type Rs.

>>4636400
That one's been for sale for ages for a reason.

All the good deals are on the magna forums. There was a fucking Ralliart manual that sold for $7,500 a few months ago. 200,000kms - but he used to drive 1.5hrs away and did freeway runs to get there, which means it was in better mechanical condition than most around 130-150kms.

OP, buy this and shut the fuck up:
