B230FK
T3 turbo
race intercooler
3 inch sitepipe
A cam

Interesting setup.

It was really sucks I had a lot of plans with the car.

Now the plans were turning around. It was a good idea to built the old 740 turbo engine into my 242.


So begain to swap the engine in to my 242



putting some new rimps on it and put a spoiler on the back



A couple of months ago my old 740 b230ft I build in to my 242 was broken. It run but not good. also my turbo was broken. the engine leaked and so the engine rund for a couple of days with almost no oil. than I desidet to rebuilt my 242 and now do it the right way. so I bought a b230FK and a garrett T3 and also a Race intercooler.

hello I have a day off. So I thougt why don't post something on turbobricks!

were did I end, or were shal I start again.

Hide the wiring


I already put the wiring at is original place, when I decided to hide it I had tot the left site all over again


After that I had to make some adjustments for the engine.
tap some screw thread for the turbo retour hose


Put the bolt in there


The old filter house was in the way so I toke the old heat exchanger for the coolant from a 940 Screwed the bolt out made it smaller on a round reducer so it fits on my oil cooler


after a couple of hours hard work I wanted to see how the clean enginebay looks with engine


Put the flwywheel back on with a new bearing


the bearing for the clutch was broken, it was stuck. Never heard enything about it
but I had fixt it with a new one and cleaned it.



Also bought a new clutch from a 240 diesel
first a drived the old b230ft with the old clutch but it was not strong inough and spint while putting gas on it.


Putting the engine in with the gearbox.


Engine wiring system from a 240(1993) LH 2.4.



Second hand garrett T3.


It was a lot of work to make it fix. Had to drill four hols in place of the stud bolts. Than drill the four old stud bolts out of the manifold. and put new ones in.


Putting the head back on with the A-cam from my old b21


Fit the turbo. one bolt of the manifold was a little bit crooked but when i fix it I was verry verry verry happy. Finally all the pieces were comming togother


Also I needed the old distributor house from the b21


I placed the repainted front back on the car. Painted it myself not bad say it myself.
also put back all that other stuf in the engine bay as the wiring, coolant system, etc.



Put the race intercooler in it and fix all the new hoses and tubes. also a new open airfilter from K&N. Got a 3inch air flow mass meter from a 960 but not fixit yet.



Than I needed a 3inch exhaust my dad and I made!




I put the Varta in the back so I got more space in front of the car. I put the screenwasher in the back to


And after 4 weeks of hard work it became this! I'm really proud at myself.
