1987 se50 elite mlm pipe.

[Volvo850R]

Hey guys
I put on the mlm pipe as well as 1500rpn springs and contra. Also up jet to an 86(might up again to 88)…I don’t have a scale so wondering what stock weight is for rollers so I know where to start with variator tuning. Or what size gram anyone suggests.? Thanks

If I remember right, the stock rollers are like 12g or something crazy. Been a minute since I weighed them. Its a sound investment to buy a cheap digital meth scale on Ebay. I think mine was less than $20.

Keep in mind that you can mix-n-match different weights in the vari as long as they are evenly balanced. Example: using three 7g and three 9g. Placed in the vari 7,9,7,9,7,9.

I will get a scale eventually . I tossed in three 6s and three 8s to get seven and still bogs. Maybe smaller needed

Dont look at it as having seven…its 42g total. Getting the Malossi yellow contra would improve the shift curve as well. That stock spring is well worn by now and isnt doing you any favors.
