Important questions that have not been asked: what is your budget, and what is your skillset like?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
16v + Turbo would be a great way to go.
If someone forced my to stay redblock, that is what I would do.
Can Regina manage a turbo setup?Go B230FT, swap your AW70 for a manual, keep the Regina and buy my Regina dog dish flywheel!
Easy, just put the whole Honda drivetrain in the trunk/hatch. Rear-engined VTEC Volvo?And you get 5 rearward gears too! (They rotate anti-clockwise)
Hey everyone! Ill be going to the junkyard either this weekend or next week! I wish there was a turbobricks FB page or smth where I could live stream whats in there!

G'day Fred, as you're a noobie here you don't understand how it worksd yet.. See this is primarily a forum for young pups in their teens and 20s.. It is a requiremnt to NEVER ask about end use, budget, tools owned, experience or really anything before launching into suggestions on exactly what the other guy should do..So almost nobody ever does. The boys here get all pissed off and say your (what used to be you're) being "condensational" or a "know it all" if you ask questions...
So with that in mind I recommend you should be converting your car to one of those Foul-coon DOHC 24v inline 6s with minimum 2 turbos. Got it? Should be super easy and only cost the normal Turbobrick budget of $17.95..US dollars of course. See how it works, din't even ask what car you have..
Trust me, I've been reading here for more than 10 years and I getting the hang of how things work.
You do have a Volvo dontcha? Well never mind do it anyway.
And remember, everything everybody says here is fawkin brilliant...just some things are fawkin brilliant-er than others, but its all brilliant.
This is perfect
Ya except in reality John's thinking 10 years in the past, and everybody's in their 30's now with a wife, a couple of kids, minivan & house payment so the budget is now $14.99 shipped.

Good point. To the OP, if you like your Volvo then do what you think fits your lifestyle to get it back running properly with more HP that you desire.
Logically, by the time you convert any engine and/or rebuild one you could have purchased a decent used newer Volvo (or other) from the mid-2000s. So it is a labor of love/hobby etc more for personal fulfillment than economic reasoning.
Have fun with it whichever way you see fit within your real capabilities given tools/money/time constraints.
Take another pull at the turbo redblock slot machine?, it's way cheaper than fooling around with alien engines.

Might as well considering they?re a dime a dozen. Try to keep at least a little bit of oil in this one and it won?t seize up.
two for one 7/9 crush will make my day OP
