So heres a new one. Any volvo people around these parts? I've been rolling around in the new project '83 240 turbo. Wondering if anyone around was into them.

Hey man what's up. I'm one of the few around here. What are you planning to do?

 

Just messin around. I actually got a 240dl today that is gonna be the beater so I can take the turbo off the road to do some work. The struts are shot, so I'll be putting some decent eibachs or koni's in there first. After that I really need to swap a m46 into it, the aw71 is about shot. Then I will likely try to find the volvo intercooler to put into it. After that, who knows. Cams are on the horizon, as well as the slight possibility of getting a 16v head for it. Maybe a bit more boost somewhere along the lines. Although that will be quite a while down the line. I have a lot of weekends lined up for me.

 

Sounds good. I've heard the K cam goes quite well with a manual transmission. More power up top.

 

One right here, too. We have some nice meets from time to time, although Growley as of late has been absent.

For a cheap cam, go to the junkyard and pull a B-cam from a -82 240. The N/A B21's (the NA's with k-jet, the CIS fuel system like the turbos) have the B-cams. They're pretty aggressive, and cheap cheap cheap.

Aaaaah. Interesting. I've seen tons of posts on turbobricks about k and vx cams. never heard anyone talk about a b. Might just have to give that a shot. Thats a 4 hour job right there By the way, if anyone does see a complete m46 around lemme know

 

i know a few volvo people.. one of them has a 240 with a b23f-t and is putting in a t-5 ho right now.. he made 205 whp and 280 wtq and ran a 14.1 at 97ish

 

Yea I have been a bit out of the game lately. Got alot of other stuff going on.

 

Well, if everyone gets togeather again, lemme know. I need to meet some local people. I've lived here my whole life, but my people suck
