 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 Cars plans $20 billion stock IPO this month, sources say

Wed, Sep 15 2021

STOCKHOLM — China's Geely Holding is in advanced discussions with banks to list its Volvo Cars unit in the coming weeks, three sources told Reuters, in what is expected to be one of Europe's biggest initial public offerings (IPOs) this year. Volvo Cars is aiming for a valuation of about $20 billion in the planned Stockholm listing, the sources said, with one saying the launch was penciled in for the end of September. Goldman Sachs and SEB are leading the transaction, while other banks including BNP Paribas, Carnegie and HSBC are also involved in the deal, the sources added. Volvo Cars declined to comment. Geely did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment outside normal business hours in China. SEB and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. The other banks were not immediately available. Geely, which bought Volvo from Ford more than a decade ago in the biggest acquisition by a Chinese firm of a foreign car maker, sought to float shares in the Swedish firm in 2018 but then pulled the deal citing trade tensions and a downturn in automotive stocks. Traditional carmakers have fallen out of favor in recent years, as Tesla has risen to be one of the world's most valuable companies, putting the focus on electric vehicles. Many European firms have pivoted toward the electric sector, including Volvo, which aims to only make fully electric cars by 2030 and owns a 49.5% stake in electric car maker Polestar. Valuation Gothenburg-based Volvo Cars aims to secure a valuation of roughly $20 billion, one of the sources said, while another mentioned a possible range of $20 billion to $30 billion. A third source suggested a $16 billion valuation was more realistic, citing the firm's revenue outlook. A $20 billion valuation for Volvo would be equivalent to six to seven times its earnings, a level some analysts say is high although it would put it in line with rivals Daimler and BMW. Tesla's valuation is more than 70 times that. NordLB's automotive analyst Frank Schwope estimated a valuation range of $10 billion to $15 billion. "The strong margins seen in the first half of 2021 are unlikely sustainable as the market benefited from a strong post-pandemic rebound that is unlikely to continue," Schwope said. For Geely's founder Li Shufu, who bought Volvo for $1.8 billion, the listing is a milestone on the road to transport of the future, where cars are part of an electrified network of mobility services generating data and business opportunities.

Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.

Polestar gets $1.6 billion boost from Volvo, other big stakeholder

Sat, Nov 5 2022

Polestar said on Thursday it had secured $1.6 billion in financing from its two main shareholders to help it deliver its growth plans amid volatile markets. Volvo, which co-founded the brand with China's Geely in 2017, said it would provide an $800 million loan to the firm. Its other major shareholder, PSD Investment, will provide the same amount through "direct and indirect financial and liquidity support," Polestar said. Volvo, which owns just over 48% in Polestar, said its loan included options for Volvo to convert some of its loans to equity in a potential future equity raising by Polestar. "We welcome the continued support from our major shareholders at a time when the capital markets are volatile and unpredictable," Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said in a statement. The Sweden-based carmaker said the funding, alongside previously secured resources, would provide the company with sufficient funds through 2023. In June, Polestar was listed on the Nasdaq through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). Volvo, like other major carmakers, has in recent years invested heavily in making its own electric vehicles and has also said it was committed to supporting Polestar. Volvo aims to sell only fully electric cars by 2030, while Polestar has a goal to launch three more cars by 2026. In February, Volvo formed a joint venture with battery manufacturer Northvolt to build a battery plant in Gothenburg which would produce battery cells specifically for electric Volvo and Polestar cars. However, carmakers and suppliers are struggling as costly investments in an electric future coincide with rampant inflation and soaring energy prices. Polestar's third quarter results are due on Nov. 11 Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
