Re: Megasquirt+Volvo?
 

ive got a couple buddies running megasquirt on volvos making over 300whp each. One is making that reliably with a stock-internals 8v 2.3

Re: Megasquirt+Volvo?
 

grassroots motorsports has a project volvo on MS, i believe they have the info and specs online

Re: Megasquirt+Volvo?
 

My buddy is running an MS on his Volvo wagon and just put down 500hp

Re: Megasquirt+Volvo?
 

Thanks for the info, but he isnt making 500hp with his b230ft, he made the 16 valves conversion which is a heck of a job, and custom intake manifold, of course he will stick 500hp,


Im currently running a bored 2.3L 8v engine, with a garett T5 turbo setup, full 3" straight pipe from front to back, most ive ran was 22psi so i should be in the 300hp, im looking for more reliable without really doing a DOHC conversion, which isnt even that reliable on long term...

thanks

and PS: i blew a 15g, i blew a T03, dunno why, 15g just doesent take massive boost, and i think my t03 was shot and just blew, left me on the highway with the nicest looking glowing manifold/turbo/downpîpe

T5 is at level to what i want, but i want more, i sometimes hit fuel cut, i know i have to put larger injectors, but i also dont want to become a gas guzzling -----.

I helped my buddy tune his 81 Volvo ..240.. (some letters before or after the 240. don't remember). He's running a T3/T4 57 trim on it. Converted to run megasquirt. Runs great. Megasquirt was fairly easy to tune, once we got the hang of it.

pre 244-242 (4 door, 2 door) are 144's and 142's (stations are xx5's) after 2xx's are 3xx's 4xx's (only available in europe, oceania) and all over the world 7xx's 9xx's. Did you guy have to dyno tune it or just a good air/fuel meter and some street runs? Also, what kind of weather did you guys tune it/for?

thanks.
