My 940's..

Since it seems, there's loads of love for old rwd volvo's, here's pics of mine..

Seen them! look tidy!

[jks]

Now that's the nuts!! Looks mint too.

What's the daily running?

BHP? I wont quote numbers, as either of them haven't been dynoed at current form..
For daily, I've used parts and stuff I've made, that worked well on red one, in previous set ups..and to keep it bulletproof, but able to take punisment..

[AndysR]

Sweet, like both of those, they look like they should both be fast :)

[LiamT4]

How much bhp..................Judging by the size of the turbo on it, lots! lol

[jks]

How much bhp..................Judging by the size of the turbo on it, lots! lol

LOL, daily's running 20 psi, red one will be running 2,5 bar..

[wiganer31]

very nice! the drift one is right up my street, i want another 940 as a drift car even more now lol, whose done the manifold? looks very nice


cheers

I did Exhaust. split pulse, equal lenght runners, twin externalwastegates.
Inlet is Nathaninwa one from Turbobricks, in U.S

[artfulflounder]

Borbet style suit the drift car......dont see them on volvos very often.

Both serious looking cars

[Dangerous Dave]

What other mods is the blue daily running then? (to keep it reliable?)

[wiganer31]

sweet, looks very nice" what size exhaust you using? think im having a go at my own exhaust on the 940 as the last one on my drift car turned out ok,

are the wheels 3 sdm's?


cheers

[jks]

What other mods is the blue daily running then? (to keep it reliable?)

Just mildly tuned, to retain reliability..

[jks]

Blue one is 3" stainless, modified JT exhaust from Sweden.
Red is 3,5" I made

[T5frankie]

any good at the 1/4 mile? :uglyhamme

do you know how much boost i can push on my b230et before bending the skinny rods?

[jks]

do you know how much boost i can push on my b230et before bending the skinny rods?

I don't think anyone knows..it's not just boost, you need to get fuelling and other basics right as well..

[T5frankie]

I don't think anyone knows..it's not just boost, you need to get fuelling and other basics right as well..

most people are saying 11psi

[jks]

So, if it peaks to 12 psi, you bend the rods?
I don't think anyone knows..

[jks]

sweet, looks very nice" what size exhaust you using? think im having a go at my own exhaust on the 940 as the last one on my drift car turned out ok,

are the wheels 3 sdm's?

Yeah, well spotted! 3SDM's

[T5frankie]

I don't think anyone knows..

probably from a fueling aspect also

[jks]

probably from a fueling aspect also

Just go safe, bigger injectors than you need, extra fuel will cool piston crowns down..lol

[barkster1971]

are you still on stock internals running 20 psi with a holset. What engine management ? B230et is motronic so you're limited for chips ( for fueling ). I think there's a viking chip you can put in. but it's easier to go megasquirt from motronic apparently. No piston squirters on b230et either, but you can add them. You can get cheap forged rods for it though.

Blue one it's stock internals, TLAO chips

[Dangerous Dave]

What injectors are you running in both cars?

[jks]

What injectors are you running in both cars?

blue one, 650cc 3bar fuel pressure
red one, 1000cc 3 bar fuel pressure

i know someone with them on a golf and i wasn't to sure about them, but they do look pretty sweet on the 940

Big fan of both cars but the drifter just pips it due to the 3sdm 00.5
Had those on my golf & would buy another set tomorrow!
Good choice on the Azev a's too, bit of a wheel whore I suspect?

Lol, You could say that..

[artfulflounder]

Presume your running coilovers to have no rubbing issues on shocks.

Are they bought items or have you modified existing struts and adapted them?.....would like to do my suspension in the near future but funds wont allow for new coilovers so looking into suitable shorter dampers and spring rates at the moment

[T5frankie]

no, straight fit..ish
5x108 8,5x17 et15 front, 10x17 et15 rear

rare to find nice wheels for the 7/9's

nice rides dude!

[tobya]

Awesome! Both of them! How did you matte the paint on the blue one? I've not seen that done before.

I've just sanded whole car down, with fine 1000 grit paper..
It looks like it's spent it's life in Californian sun..lol

[dionbullock]

Loving the wheels on both cars! I was nearly tempted to buy some azev's on ebay a while back. But they were 7.5 wide front and back, i wanted the staggered fitment like yours, look nice with the deep dish!! Are the 3sdm's the same offset??

[jks]

No, 3SDM's are 5x120, on pcd adaptors I made.
Arches on red one have been pulled out loads. Can't remember what offset works out as, with pcd adaptors..it's very little..

[T5frankie]

i have bought 8" wide wheels with 850 fitment, with 7/940 spacers to convert from H&R and they just fit

[jks]

What You meen, just fit?
Shurely, you can go wider and less offset, on 700?

maybe but not with 850 fitment

? But You have "adapted them" with spacers, there not 850 fittment any more..

[T5frankie]

? But You have "adapted them" with spacers, there not 850 fittment any more..

just saying what i have bought and with the car right in front of me, you cant go any wider with 850 wheels

[smithy]

It's the offset of the wheels you change with the spacers to go wider .i could get 9s or even 10s on the back and 9s on the front .but I'm happy with the 8s though

[jks]

With std springs, which limits the front wheel width, you can run 8,5-9 fronts, rear you can run 12, with right offset.
With coilovers on front, I recon you can run 10's, with right offset.
On a 940, arches can be rolled and pulled out quite a bit, with out being obvious..

Bought another cam and chips, so power levels will be going up..

With std springs, which limits the front wheel width, you can run 8,5-9 fronts, rear you can run 12, with right offset.
With coilovers on front, I recon you can run 10's, with right offset.
On a 940, arches can be rolled and pulled out quite a bit, with out being obvious..

i'd like to know where all these right offset wheels are lol

Can't wait for my c70 to go and but a 740

That was meant to say Can't wait for my c70 so I can buy a 940

I've found most of mine, on eBay, where the discribtion has been wrong or no pcd stated..
There's some about, just need some digging..
On split rims, as long as pcd is right, by swapping barrels and lips, you can make offset to anything you want..

A cheaper option is banding steel rims (which I'm planning on): you can get whatever width and offset you want.
(I realise steelies aren't everyone's cup of tea though.)

Wow. HX40 @ 2.5bar will be in the 500bhp bracket. Fantastic cars both of them.
