740 Turbo
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2025 12:34 pm
Hello, new here and from Sweden. I’m trying to install a Uaefi in my Volvo 740. The car was originally a 740 GLT with a 16V engine, but I bought it without an engine, gearbox, or rear axle. I took all those parts from a 940 Turbo instead. I completely rebuilt the B230 engine — it’s bored 0.060" over, and I replaced the connecting rods with H-beam ones. The cylinder head was swapped to a “531 head,” which I ported and replaced all the worn parts in. For the camshaft, I’m using a VX3 from a B230FB engine, and the turbo is a new TD04 19T.
With Rusefi, I’m trying to keep it as plug-and-play as possible with such an old ECU setup like LH2.4. In the PnP harness, I’m using the functions for controlling the ignition box, all relays such as the fuel relay, etc. I’ve also wired in the engine temperature sensor and the VR signal from my 60-2 flywheel. However, that stopped working — I’m getting a lot of missing teeth, so I’ll try running separate wires to it, like I already did with the MAP sensor, IAT, and TPS.
I’m afraid I may have damaged the board when I cleaned off the flux residue I missed after soldering the Molex connectors on the board using isopropanol. After that, I started getting interference on the VR signal, and I also get the message “C9012: out-of-order coil of coil 1” in the Rusefi console. I even get that error when I run a spark test in the console with only the Uaefi board connected to the computer.
