Looking to make your car turbocharged? READ FIRST
We get a very steady flow of folks signing up here because they are interested in turbocharging their normally aspirated volvo.
The good news is, plenty of folks here have added turbochargers to their normally aspirated engines, and plenty other have installed factory turbo engines in place of their normally aspirated ones. The other good news is that several of each example have been documented here. The bad news is, asking people for general advice on how to do it will not yeild results as good as doing a search. Please use our search feature here on the board, and also refer to this link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...om&btnG=Search That will turn up a bunch of threads from this board pertaining to turbo conversion. Best of luck and feel free to post with any specific quesitons you might have. Cheers, |
I'd like to see links to documented (pics) F+Ts. That was very helpful when I started out.
Here's mine: http://www.sonic.net/~kyle/242/work/ And The Aspirators: http://www.vipinfoservices.com/john/...ap_default.htm |
f+t's are schweet when done correctly. i've doc'd over 12k on mine before i sold it
|
Mine's been online for 2 1/2 years now, not to mention heavily documented on turbobricks.

My +t had 210,000 miles before I did the convertion and now It has 225,000 on it and I am about to +t my brothers 244. Good luck and i have lots of pics in my sig link. :-D
|
Another happy +T'r.
Hey Cap'n. How about appending a list of topics they may want to search for in your thread? Also, the showroom is a great place to look as people will have their projects and go into details there. |
For some reason, I hadn't seen this thread before.

apexi safc
while pulling a bmw tranny for a freind I recently found an L/N turbo in a wrecked 740. the motor looked the same as the one in my '87 240 gle. So, i said why not, and took the turbo, intercooler, mass air flow, injectors, every associated hose clamp and what have. i kick myself for not having puuled the fuel pump. oh well i have a apexi super afc from a previous project, and wanted to try and use it for fuel delivery.
has anyone here used the apexi safc?? |
I'm pretty set on trying, so i guess i'll document it for you guys
|
yea, unce did with relative success until his motor departed beneath him. any more there are various similarly priced things people can get to suit their tuning needs vs the relatively feature-sparse afc (however used afc's can be had now and again for pretty cheap).
however one doesnt really need it if one gets the fuel and ignition ecus from the 700 series turbo car and adapts the ignition computer to work. (you'd basically fab up a harness for it). |
does anyone have a pin diagram of the fuel comp?
|
|
How about the pin for the 240 fuel ecu?
|
is there a faq page on how to mate the 740 comp to the 240
|
Quote:
the pinouts are the same for lh 2.2 and 2.4. as for a faq, no not really, but everything you need to know is on that page. the sensors between the two cars are the same. |

search for the answer to that one, it certainly exists....
|
Can I put my mass airflow sensor after my intercooler?
|
my F+T has been on the site,
Any questions feel free to PM me |

Hi Bordercity
this change over might be a bit tricky -- the second temp sensor for the ECU -- there is no hole for it too, and closing off the 4 injector-holes might be tricky. Why not mount a complete head from an B200FT, or B230FT ? Greetings from ireland, hans |
i guess im just stupid or something - where exzactly do the oil feed/return lines go??
from the pan to the turbo and then from the turbo the block??? i saw the pics but am still confuesed |
