Hello guys, been a long time since i got a chance to actually build something volvo related.
Been trying to get back to whiteblocks for 5 years and now finally managed to do that
What started out as a simple naturally aspirated 5 cylinder swap to my "daily-beater", so i could have a little fun with it, has come to a point, where when i get what i want from the engine, i'm going to swap it to a proper chassy for drag use
So to make long story a little shorter - here's my beemer 5 years ago:
Meanwhile, it has had several engines, starting with 1.8 83kw stock engine, then 3.0 v8 engine, then again 1.8 engine that ran on 2,5bar of boost, then 2.0 6 cylinder with turbo and finally what the thread is about - whiteblock.
So about the "thing" itself - Regular e36 body, minor mods in the front suspension, mostly everything rebuilt few years ago. So far i've used it for dragracing and also drifting as my own entertainment.

Sad part is.. my best ET so far is 13,625@162kmh with my 1.8 engine and 0,9bar of boost, so i haven't succeeded much
But this year not should, but WILL be different
So the engine.. i started the swap with B5254S from my old volvo 440, got to drive it just a little around garage when its life got ended due to oiling error.
That sorted out.. new life on the chassy started b5204T engine i picked up. Looked for specifically 2.0 due to 81mm cylinder, so it would handle more power
I will not bother you with every little detail i have made, so i'll let the pics to the job
Engine: B5204T
ECU: Megasquirt 3v3.0
Turbo: Holset HX50
Wastegate: from Audi AAN
Injectors: Siemens deka 825cc
Fuel pump: Walbro 450lph
FPR: Turbosmart
Clutch: stock diesel one for now
Gearbox: Getrag 240
Those are specs for the first dyno.. also boost will be 0,7bar as base, because i don't want to kill the engine so quickly with my need for power
For drag season, i have forged rods, crank from D5 engine waiting, and also plan for better clutch and double-VVT(for now just exhaust cam).
I think i have covered most of the important parts of this build, so hope you liked it and if anything is bothering, i'm always listening to what everyone has to say (i'm mostly not that way that people suggest but that's not the point)
