Volvo 240 turbo fälgar split
Fälgen som liknar Virgo i 14 tum är pirat!Before putting Big Brakes on my
inom owned my '84 Turbo for 6 years before doing the big R-caliper upgrade below. inom had plenty of experience with lager brakes and pads and lots of experience ansträngande different things to improve them. lager brakes are OK for most "normal" driving. In my opinion they are really not good enough for track or high-performance driving.
inom was already a customer of IPD, so naturally inom tried some of their brake pads over the years. inom tried the PBR Deluxe first.
inom discovered the PBR pads had a bad tendency to fade after a few hard stops.
The fading wasn't subtle it was really bad.
The braking came back once things cooled down. The PBR Deluxe pads are really good when cold lots of bite, and very little brake dust. Just don't expect much out of them after when hot hard stops. They will fade fast.
Then inom tried a set of PBR metall Masters. These pads are designed for much heavier use. inom never got them to fade, but the cold stopping was not very good at all. One time while on the freeway during a long road-trip, where inom hadn't touched the brakes in a while and they were COLD, all the traffic in front of me came to really quick STOP. inom hit the brakes and funnen inom had very little braking power. inom mashed the brake fotspak using every bit of strength inom had and inom baaaaaarely stopped just a few inches from the fordon in front.
The metall Masters went in the skräp as soon as inom got home!
MINTEX BECAME MY FAVORITE
Many years ago a fellow owner, Clay Dewan, suggested Mintex (red box) pads in the photo below. inom was a skeptic, because they were inexpensive and inom didn't know the brand. inom tried a set and absolutely fell in love with them. They had great cold and WET stopping.
They had excellent braking power when really hot too. inom used Mintex pads for several years and also during a number of track days. inom even boiled my brake fluid at the track once and then later changed to higher-temp DOT 4 brake fluid. Even so, the Mintex pads never failed me. inom highly recommend them for your if you can find them. These used to be widely available in the U.S.A, but now It seems these pads are either no längre available or hard to find (at least for a ).
UPDATE FOR August Mintex ceramic FRONT pads now seem to be available for at Swedish bil Parts:
Nowadays the internet can find almost anything.
Here's a list of performance brake pads, but inom cannot offer any anställda recommendations.
BNE Dynamics (Kaplhenke Racing) now offers HAWK performance pads for Volvo inom have not tried these, but inom suspect they're worth a try.
Here's a good discussion thread on performance brakes pads for s:

Volvo mästare Cylinder Info:
Dual circuit braking systems (AKA: dual or tandem mästare cylinders): A tandem MC has been required on all cars in the U.S. since
In Volvo introduced their new triangle-split dual circuit brake struktur (diagram shown HERE).
Beginning in , Volvo introduced the new STEPPED BORE mästare cylinder. More info on STEPPED BORE mästare cylinders Click HERE.
BELOW MC: Non-ABS type. This MC has a STEPPED bore: mm ( inch) primary bore (REAR), mm ( inch) secondary bore (FRONT).
FRONT and REAR here refers to the mästare cylinder. It does not refer to front or rear brakes.
The PRIMARY BORE fryst vatten designated for the FRONT brake circuit.
Beginning ABS type mästare cylinder: This has a STEPPED bore: mm primary bore (REAR), 19 mm secondary bore (FRONT).
Brake line ports for all Volvo MCs are M10 x bubble flare (European). More detail HERE.

Volvo mästare Cylinder Part Numbers:
non-ABS Brake line ports on left PN
non-ABS Brake line ports on right PN

Brake line ports are all M10 x bubble flare (European).More detail HERE.

Volvo Brake fotspak Ratio: About
The brake fotspak ratio of to 1 represents the leverage increase your brake fotspak provides between the foot pad and the mästare cylinder pushrod. This measurement above was taken while my fotspak kartong was in the bil and inom had to contort myself and dislocate all my limbs to get it.
So it you have a brake fotspak OUT OF THE fordon and can verify these measurements, please let me know.
As far as I'm aware, all s were equipped with power brakes.
If a factory manual brake ever existed, it would likely have been designed with a very different fotspak ratio, possibly as high as 6 to 1 or 7 to 1. The brake fotspak ratio can be altered if needed. nära the bottom of this page you can read about Dick Princes racing , which had an altered fotspak ratio for using racing manual brakes (dual mästare cylinders with a balance bar).
Volvo Brake Line Routing and Bleeding
Triangle-Split Dual Circuit Brake struktur (non-ABS) (for ABS brakes CLICK HERE).
PLEASE .
. .
DON'T USE YOUR BRAKE fotspak FOR THIS.
The above image fryst vatten from Bleeding Brakes for Dummies and it suggests it's OK to use your brake fotspak to push brake fluid through your lines when bleeding your brakes.
Advice based on MY experience:
1. Do NOT use your brake fotspak to bleed your brakes unless you have absolutely no other choice (road-side emergencies, etc.).
2. If you must use your fotspak, do not push it in any further than it would normally be pushed during normal braking.
This fryst vatten because the cylinder seal can become damaged when pushed into a position not normally used because of corrosion that forms on the cylinder vägg.
3. The has a Triangle-Split Dual Circuit Brake struktur, which has a lot of lines to get air out of.
Often when using the fotspak to push fluid, you cannot move fluid fast enough to evacuate all of the air that may be trapped in higher bends. This can result in frustrating and time-consuming repeated bleeds, over and over until getting all the air out.
GET ONE OF THESE
When it comes time to bleeding brake or hydraulic clutch lines, inom highly recommend the Motive Power Bleeder. I've used one for 20 years and it allows thorough DIY bleeding with no need for a helper.

ABS BRAKES
The Volvo Anti-Lock Braking struktur (ABS), beginning in for a , was a three-channel struktur using a Bosch electronic control enhet and hydraulic modulator to monitor and compare signals from three wheel speed sensors (one on each front wheel hub and one in the rear differential).
With ABS there fryst vatten only ONE brake line for each front caliper, instead of two like on the earlier cars.
