Hello!
My name is Daan and i'm from the Netherlands.
I've had a couple of Volvo's in my life (240,440,480 turbo, 940) but always dreamed about a 240 wagon turbo with a bit more power. So when i had the change to buy a 940 turbo for cheap the project started!
Removing the junky and leaky engine.
Then the b230ft left his old place. In the 940 it was a automatic so i had to switch the transmissions. Because it never had been so easy like this to replace the clutch i fitted it with a kevlar one. Well see how the m47 will like this...
The turbo was not in a very bad state but i could let it rebuild for cheap.
When this one dies i'm gonna search for a bigger one
The donor was send to another Volvo lover
The stock 240 exhaust was rubbish and needed a good downpipe
So i made a custom 2.5" one from turbo to the back. Made a cat-remover that i can change for mot inspection. installed one Simons silencer witch makes a sweet sound. Unfortunately i dont have any pics or clips jet.
Fuelpump was pretty shot, and because i have big future plans with the 240 i've installed a Walbro 255 in the tank. Rewired the whole fuel system and it workes perfectly.
Further the 240 have some small performance upgrades like a chip,intake and turned up the boost to 14psi. Runs pretty good.
First i'm gonna drive like this and wanna make some suspension and brake upgrades. Also i want to swap the transmission for something stronger before making some real power.
It is not my daily driver but i wanted to be reliable...like a Volvo...
The looks needed some upgrades to, so i bought some good lowering springs, smoked the insde of the headlights and swapped the sloppy steeringwheel for a QSP one.
The old steelies needed to go so i found some 940 rims. I didnt like the white colour so i thought "let's do something crazy" .......hated or love it....
Future plans:
- PU bushings
- shocks upgrade (koni, bilstein)
- transmission swap
- bigger injectors
- bigger turbo
- stand alone
