i actually was looking more into the car today and it's 220 hp. much better.

 

good now get to work on the important stuff

 

i love people that give away cars with minor problems, a 95 turbo volvo for free needs a batt thats awesome. then you want feel bad when you blow it up. lleave it in there yard lol

 

my first turbo was from that car,

this is all thats left of it.




Have fun.

 

i made a big turbo setup for a volvo once. THe guy used it for drag racing.
basically We used a stage 1 t3/t04B 0.63/0.70 H trim. a new wastegate was needed but other than that, the thing was bolt-on.

850's are rock solid.

I'm seething with ------- jealousy.

 

ive been reading and it seems that wiith a bigger turbo, exhaust, and a chip, 300 hp is easy.. toss in a transmission cooler and even the auto can handle it.

how hard was it to replace the turbo?

I'm hoping to keep it smog legal because cali sucks fat dick for modified cars... i'd use a e-cutout and maybe a chip that can go back to stock.... how much would a bigger turbo change emissions?

 

i would just pass emissions now then buy tags for as long as you can, hopefully 2 years. then after that mod it how ever you want. 300hp is east on those motors. changing the turbo will be easy just go with a thunderbird on nissan .60/.63 and it will support you 300hp goal and can be found on ebay for under 100 bux.

after you emmission it take the cat off i hearde of people getting like 18hp on the dyno on those cars just getting rid of the cat

 

alot unless you leaned it out for emissions

 

alright... so the t-bird or nissan 60-63.. how much of a direct bolt-on is that? Is the volvo turbo t3 flanged already?

also, any tuning companies that you guys know and like?
