Progress!
I'd definitely do the manifold differently next time, I didn't take into account the depth so I've got to notch the chassic leg a little, no biggy though.

Cheers Lee, when you out it like that it does seem daft not to sort it, I really need to stop being so defeatest!
Can the bearing in the alternator be replaced? I've got a real of vac line...
Chips! TLAO ran over 400bhp on them, that's fine for me for a start. Eventually I'll be looking into MS, I think someone does a plug-n-play job for LH? Not sure what to do on the clutch side of...
Little bit of an update, I've promised a lotta people that it will see the road by summer so I need to pull my finger out a bit!
Originally I was just going to get some tophats machined up and...
I was going to say, I thought the stock stuff is more than capable at that power, it's the rods that struggle.
Had to send the T34 off to Owen Developments for them to rotate the turbo as I could not for the life of me get it turning. Turned out it needs a rebuild, so that "1200 miles tops" turbo is poop....
So ever since watching Bamse's Turbo Underpants, I've been wanting to build a silly Redblock powered RWD Volvo! I looked at converting 240's/740's but this came up cheap cheap.
I already had a...
I'd personally look into a Holset, a HX/HY35 would suit your spec nicely.
What injectors are you going to run? Been having a nightmare trying to figure out what injectors I need for 300whp.
Can't...
Being a proper Brick fan I shall be watching this with intent! Waiting for a 940 to turn up myself so I can build myself a weapon.
Balls to standard Volvo wheels they've all been done to death, go for a big staggered set of Borbet A's or if you can find some, Turbovecs!
So this essentially adds an R bumper look to a standard 850 one, have I got that right?
That looks hard as nails, DON'T CURB THEM :wink:
I'm aware of the potential risks of not running any form of recirc/dump valve, however the 15g simply doesn't make enough boost for compressor stall to be enough of an issue.
Besides, if anything...
Another vote for Jetex here, not actually as loud as I'd of liked, but made quite a difference, pulled so much better with it fitted. Looking forward to seeing what difference a decat makes!
I think he means the old G3 in the yellow bottle? That's far too abrasive for what you're doing, G3 is a complete range these days.
I'd use something like Megs Ultimate Compound followed by a...
That's not as bad as I expected!
Maybe, but as it comes with a standard map I'd just build off that, plenty of information around, plus the feeling of DIY mapping must be fantastic :D
I've rolled through 7 pages of the search function on here, as well as 3 pages on Google (desperate times when you hit page 2 on Google!) and nothing is jumping out at me. A lot of conflicting...
That's true, I'm used to small-ish cars of which a 4" would look far too big!
Your car looks great mate :D And the exhaust looks in proportion too!
Jetex it is then :)
Any pictures mate?
Challenge accepted :P
Well, after searching high and low for the past 4-5 months for a manual 850 T5, luck would have it that I find one just up the road from me!
92,000 miles, full service history, and is my first...
Thanks bud.
So the underpinnings are essentially the same? I'd want to up the ponies a bit too so are the same principles applied to the V70?
Yours looks really nice mate.
Do you need to be a paid member to put a wanted add up on here?
I joined just because of how cool that looks on the 3 spokes!
