I was sitting in my driveway 2 days ago working on my brothers car when my neigbor came up and offered me their old car. It was going to get donated but he thougt of me first. all it needed was a new battery. bitch runs great.

1995 volvo 850 turbo
transverse inline 5 20v 2.3 or 2.4 liters
160 hp
fwd

I was curious if anyone knew these cars and how they respond to more boost... just a boost controller or something

 

any turbo motor responds well to more boost, just make sure you add more fuel

 

just chip it, more fuel and boost together

 

pictures pictures of the beast.

 

ill get pics up in a sec

 

Over here we get the 850 T5 which is the 2.3 5 cylinder engine. Plenty of people running 3-400hp on the standard engines. The T5 has a bigger turbo and probably loads of other bits, but volvo's are all solid.

Check out turbobricks.com for more info.

 

Sweet deal.

 

I think SloS13 has some friends that have a turbo Volvo wagon called the death wagon. It's pretty quick, 13s I think.

i'd get a boost controller and turn the boost up to figure out where the map cut off is then just rock the boost 1 psi below that.


its gay that a volvo only puts out 160hp from a boosted 2.3
