No one I've ever spoken to in person even the gear heads around here even know that it's 5cyl with no head gasket.

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!

I will when work begins and there is video up. Early stuff will bore you it's gonna just basically be how to tear down and rebuild the engine. Only thing special will be the billet internals but still the same process.Please give us your youtube channel so we can subscribe and watch this build.
LOL.
For a supercharger- look up sprintex for say a 3.0l Jeep. Add in some, maybe 4-6, laminova intercooler cores, design and machine an end cap that runs the cores in series>parallel. Design it so the cores are at the mid point of the system, reservoir at the high point. That makes it easy to burp.
The sprintex blowers are a twin scew style lysholm supercharger. Their efficiency is probably the highest you?ll find in a positive displacement charger.
Laminova intercooler cores offer the highest efficiency of air>liquid heat exchangers.
By the way. A lot is 2 words. It is not allot.
Why is every single post from OP a novel?
Also, if you can convert a FWD chassis to RWD, you should be able to select a properly sized supercharger and make it fit no matter what.
I figure I already have this why spend extra cash on another to modify. If nothing else do the engine work if the chassis proves too much to deal with then find a RWD that someone already yanked the engine from and drop it in that.

It's a billet one piece 5 cylinder engine dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ya could've had an V8
For you and T8fanning. No it's not one piece nor billet. but volvo does not use a head gasket on this engine they use an anaerobic sealant applied very thin. I'm pretty sure OEM parts are mostly forged internals in volvo's and cast block. The fact your trying to poke fun at me saying it doesn't have a head gasket, when it doesn't, makes me wonder why your even here.

I just opened up the Whiteblock from my son's 1999 S70 AWD and WTF!!! I'll have to contact Volvo cause they mistakenly put a head gasket in that engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How'd I miss this thread.
I think an easier path is picking up T5 P1 car with a 6MT. Do a turbo swap, intercooler, full exhaust and get a Hilton tune. It'll be plenty fast and a lot simpler to deal with.
this bread just gets better and better
idk what's more unreliable: an 01-02 volvo auto transmission or a 15 year old R that has had it's pedal to the floor all its life
