Big Turbo

[Audi Dude]

Whers all the Big monster Volvo Turbo Cars on this site ?
Cant seem to find many.
Want some knowledge on the 5cyl turbo Volvos.

Thanks

[suterman]

there was a nasty server crash type thing a week or so back and the site isnt running at full speed (excuse the pun)

theres some nice volvos about on here, keep yor eyes peeled.

[thelostartof]

for 5cyl cars you will want to go over to volvospeed.com

tho you will prob find more hipo cars here than there

everyone on the fwd volvo boards with thier 5cyls run undersized turbos, crappy tuned chips, and way to much weight.

here most are to poor to afford anything besides slightly larger than stock parts so... not a lot of fast cars

there are a few with tiny little turbos running into the 13's but otherwise that is about it

there are none, unless you consider 15g's monster turbos

there are more TD04 powered cars into the 13's and low 14's than there are t3 powered cars so

and more LH cars in that group that MS'd cars also

Doug aka Hank Scorpio has a nice t-gul t5r.

I'm not saying small t3s are elite by any means. Everyone cares to much about turbo lag to go out and buy a bigger turbo. can't wait till new setup is in

ya know that's a very good observation.

i wonder when we'll see some LH cars into the 12's . . . .

I run a 3071R mine and have sold 3 3076Rs to 850 owners lately... Just picked up the 35R for a customers T5 yesterday too.

Maybe you should lay off the pipe.

I'm not talking specifically about 5 cylinder motors, but in general the number of people running relatively small turbos on there volvos in general. so compare maybe 30 people on this board running big turbos in relation to the 6 thousand or more registered equals a relatively small percentage of big turbo usage on this site. Compare tbricks to say turboperformaneclub and see how many MORE people are running large turbos and going way faster too.

[thelostartof]

yea but look @ thier budgets and ability to get parts

budget is te key factor as TB'ers are cheap bitches

[Pennybridge Pioneer]

and vsers waste their money on eyebrows, projector headlights, and carbon fiber parts that go over the stock steel parts.

hey guy...


learn swedish, we're too unbelievably poor to even remotely have anything resembling what they do over there....

but we try, and sometimes we get one or two real winners.

lets just get one thing straight here....all volvos are monsters, i dont care what you say, inside every volvo is a little demon that, once unlocked, can unleash armaggedon, and make cookies too!


enjoy your stay. laugh with us.

but there is not a 900hp lh powered anything on the face of this earth, lh can suck my balls by the way, no offense to anyone, but ms trump all the overpriced chip, now i need a 20k$ dyno

[IceCold4x4]

well then again so does a tec3 or aem, or motec for that matter . . .

then again real LH tuning has just started apparently with some good success so far.

[impulse922]

or the money to pony up and do it right and get it tuned

[benflynn]

lots of tuning is the key, but MS dose bring to the table tons of learning, and endless options

I have zero desire to go back to lh2.2

[ajwilson999]

show the volvette!!
one of our Tb guys is running a corvette V8 with twin T04E turbos... not really volvo btu at 600WHP at 10 lbs who cares

so quit bitching about it and f'ing do it already.

aaahhh the wonderment of nitrous. save for that, tho art incorrect.

oh? it just started? thats all old news, with very definite boundaries. the chips work wonderfully for what they are, but make no mistake about it, I could throw an MS on my daily-D and pull out better numbers across the board.

besides, lets not kid ourselves... a 13 second car simply isnt fast. period.

[IceCold4x4]

true 13's are no real amazing feat but i think that LH will support getting these cars into the 12's. Which is pretty much the goal i'm setting for my car. and 12's are pretty quick.

as far as my comment on tuning of chips, it seems like now they are doing better than some of the ones that i'd heard of before.

[dieselboy]

if you take both of the turbos im using and put them together it will make a t6 hahahaha:-P
T3+T3=T6?? + 302ci + 12ish psi........... working on it:badboy:
gimme 2 more months and ill causing some/ most audi guys to pee their pannies and want a volvo....

I'm working on it. It takes alot of money and time to build a motor when you're a full time college student. I've got a pretty good parts collection going to build this motor right the first time around.

All this "bitching" is going to amount to something.

the technology for tuning lh 2.2 and 2.4 hasn't changed since, well, they came out.

12's on lh? simple. hose it.

[thelostartof]

kenny .. not everyone has the time and ability to tune MS like you and sam .. this is the reason so many of these cars out there are still being worked on and never make it to the track

and right now there are 4 TD04 cars in the 13's, sure this year might of been bad for the SE boys but still ... LH is great for simple things .... everyone knows some kind of stand alone is the way to go for real power .. but for cheap and quick there are lots of easy ways out there to do it

and i'll do 12's on LH, if i have to pull a 1.6 60ft out of my ass i will find a way but i will do it without the giggle juice

props to them! yet building something that isn't prone to breaking, and doing it right the first time does take time (no offence to kenny or poi).

and some are at home, got to be worth something, lh is cool if you just want your volvo to go a bit faster, ms is the way if you want to know how to make a car faster, tuning fuel is almost automatic, so some sparktuning is needed for good power, but a tuned ms is tuned for it's set up, lh is a little too broad of a tune for me and is not any cheaper, and not all the ms cars are around a 1/4 strip

[thelostartof]

no doubt as it has been talked about ... MS is the way to go for real power .. but the point is you can go plenty fast on LH alone which means MS is mainly for those that are not lucky enough to have LH 2.4 and its ability to run 13's for cheap

any idoit can do 13's on LH, while it takes a lot of effort to do it on MS haha

[JW240]

i wonder when we'll see some LH cars into the 12's . . . .

there is a 740 with LH 2.4 that runs a 11.7 1/4 mile.... the bilsport turbo container project. search www.pukema.com for the article

[quinn_volvo]

14 credit hours, 50 hours a week, still have time to installz bigz turboz yoz.

is this on topic?

[benflynn]

lh would be great if someone could tune each chip for it's setup, lh is for those not lucky enough to have the time/interest to go ms, and if you total your volvo and go to a real car, like a 24v 328is, the ms can go with you

Mike, your turbo went out friday ups ground(as always)

[thelostartof]

pimp, $ will go out to you in a day or so


and yea LH would be so much better if one could tune it on a dyno and do on the fly adjustments .. or wait MS does that .. hm

[beckzach05]

yea but look @ thier budgets and ability to get parts

budget is te key factor as TB'ers are cheap bitches

What? Did someone say "zip-tie"? I SWORE I heard "zip-tie"....*mumbles about cat-hair zip-ties*

Chris' motor was broke before he turbo'd it.

There ARE more hybrid turbos and such here than on VS.
