Did this for the camera but anyway the car is not anemic anymore. It went 15.6@88 and best mph was 89.5 at 7 psi. Best time on these wheels before was a 17.7@77. I'll eventually turn it up to 14 psi and/or replace the turbo with something bigger.

Congrats. Great job Joe.

Thanks Tommy, I was glad it didn't break. I saw a lot people breaking parts today even though there was a low overall turn out.

Looking good!!!

Soon, I found a larger turbo for it which should get it into the 13s. I need some information about the locker diff in newer 240's or I might just get better tires for the track.

So what's your combo in that thing? Stockish 302 with a small turbo?

Joe, I had the G80 Locker in my 1983 760 w/ the 302 5speed, they are plentiful & take a beating, I couldn't break it!

B230F 4 cylinder Volvo motor that the car came with. They say they make about 90 whp stock which explains the 18.6 1/4 mile I ran in it before I started doing anything to it. It's just been a fun build. I want to take it to about a mid to high 13. Right now I'm pretty happy it went 15.6.

I stopped by the dealership but you were gone for the day. I'll stop back at lunch sometime. I'll have to pick your brain about the G80. There is a 1993 Volvo 240 in the junkyard that I believe should have one. I'm just not certain on how to make sure.

Here's a better List
B230 with a VX Camshaft (NA performance Cam)
TD04-13C Turbo
AW71 Transmission
3" Full Exhaust (Catco Cat. and Magnaflow Muffler)
530 Head Bowl Blended, Radius Valves and Angle Valve Grind
Ebay Intercooler
Half Ebay half Volvo Intercooler Piping
GTP 36lb injectors( Thanks KYGTP!)
3 Bar FPR
Upgraded Fuel Pump
Colder Plugs
740 Turbo Computer
740 Turbo EZK

I pulled a lot of parts from a junk 1991 Volvo 740 Turbo. I found out that my cars wiring harness allowed from a plug n play on various Volvo Turbo cars which made the fuel system easy. What surprized me was that the computer will self adjust/adaptive up to 30 % above the calibrated injector size which was 30 lb injectors. I found out that the injectors in a GTP would direct plug n play and the computer will maintain a 11.5:1 airfuel ratio. Not bad for old technology.

Nice Joe!!!!!

Thanks! It's pretty fun making a slow car faster. I dropped 3 seconds in the quarter and the car still isn't that fast,lol. Off to the junkyard tomorrow to grab a turbo. Hopefully it's a good one.
