falunbricks 8v DD Cosby sweater
MOD LIST:
ENGINE: 1982 B21ft shortblock, 7.5:1 compression Unitek stage 4 head and cam with massive valves major chamber and port work Stock 8v N/A exhaust manifold with Up pipe twinscroll GT35 3 inch turbo back no mufflers 2x 40mm V-band external wastegates big ebay IC 3 inch intercooler piping MS2 V3.0 Wasted spark Oil filter relocation kit and RX7 oil cooler wastegate set at 20PSI mBENZ v8 kjet pump under car and whinebro 255 in tank both with upgraded wiring SUSPENSION/DRIVELINE: Shortened coilovers up front 250lbx10inch springs saab bilstiens -1 degree camber up front trunk mounted electric power steering wagon springs 1.5 coils cut chevy s10 4X4 shocks Aw71 with big external cooler and accumulator mod 3.73 gearing 18x9 OZ ultraleggeras with 245/40/18r bridgestone potenzas 30mm spacers up front 37mm out back Mazda RX7 brake kit 25mm bar up front and stock 240 bar in the back Stock torquerods with poly bushings adjustable panhard bar INTERIOR: Momo steering wheel 3 pod gauges, oil temp/ pressure and voltage from a audi 5000 aem wideband vdo boost gauge 30psi all black leather panels black fabric rear seat 1989 honda prelude si seats up front ms box in the glovebox cheapo laptop for ms in there too COSMETIC: Fully Tucked and painted engine bay Ecodes 92+ black door handles 92+ Black trim perfect front bumpercover and airdam broken rear taillights LOL mismatched hood and passenger fender :( relocated hood release SE side markers So this whole build started out with me needing another car for my girlfriend, i had just bought a v70 xc that was in extremely good shape. Obviously i was going to buy her a Volvo 240. I stumbled across this diamond in the rough.  Well i got it for the total cost of 643 dollars with new plates and everything. and she drove it in the hot Sacramento sun for 3 weeks before she wanted out of it. No AC is unacceptable for a girl these days! So i gave her my v70 i hated that car, abs modules going out, blew the head gasket, just alot of work. so i started getting into the 240, i couldnt contain myself.  I had the pegasus from my old 245, they looked great on the white sedan!    First off i swapped in a Electric fan, IPD sways, Adjustable torque rods/Panhard rod. Gt upper strut plates, diesel front springs wagon rear springs. bilstien touring shocks up front. Heavy dutys in the rear.   Then i got a engine, tranny, turbo, a crap load of steel braided lines, Full LH2.4 harness and chippable computers.    So as the car sits right now it has a Super lowmileage 1993 AW71 and B230FT, it has a chinabay .50/.63 turbo with a stock garrett wastegate (that isnt working worth a damn right now for some reason) it has the full LH2.4 harness swap in it, 850 t-5 injectors, Homebrew 3.5 inch downpipe with a shortened wastegate arm so it opens extremely fast. it has a relocated filter, am using the 93+ water cooled oil cooler, and going to also run a air cooler too.    Now with 91+ power steering   Interior work is becoming a huge focus as when this car is finished it will be my daily driver. Old  New  as it sits now, its running i am still working out bugs. got the pegs on my 944, now im looking for some tethys. Going to post pics of the actual swap in a little bit.  Here they are!          the big guy in the pictures mainly operated the hoist. it was a real struggle to work with someone who has never touched a car before.

Its coming together really well. I am very happy with it. I am going to be ordering injectors for it soon for my e85 swap
. 5 speed is going in on friday. Then I am installing a new oil pan and gasket as long as throwing in a new rear main seal due to the car leaking like a sivv. |

More power if tuned for it, cooler running and cheaper. Plus it smells like corn!

 This pull was. Spike at 15psi dropped to about 13ish with a plugged up stock cat converter. And a leaking divertervalve and aw71. Pretty darn good if you can't read it it's 209whp and 235torque |

Well here's a list of parts coming in the mail for it.
Header 38mm tial Just got my ssqv today. And I am getting a intake manifold made as we speak for it I am just contemplating on weather to use a q45 throttle body or a 960 throttle body. I am going to modify them to be able to use the kick down cable. Also I have a full 3 inch exhaust that goes all the way out the back strait piped that is gonna sound meannnn. |

Looking great! Those are the wheels that you're selling, eh? Too bad I don't have the cash for them now.

Yep that's them.
Forgot to update. Best dyno results I got was 269whp and 289 torque! That was before this happened   Still have to throw the custom intake manifold on. I am shooting for 300whp before 2012 and I'm getting.g very very close |
