Title: B21f+t.....hrm
Post by: maxwellredrum on March 15, 2007, 07:58:10 PM: so today, i was able to burn a couple cars with my very mildly modded m42, a v6 stang and scion tc. however it was way too close for me and made start thinking about power adders, and turbos are always good however its like a no mans land out there although i looked so far into it back in november/december. but then i remebered my old 245glt+i volvo. 2.1 litre turbo 4 speed+od. i know it has never been done, but i figured a fully forged iron block , non interferance motor would be sick pushing the same 17psi the wagon pushed(i ran low 15's high 14's with only a boost controller...in a 600$ wagon!). does anyone have any thoughts on this, ive had good luck with the motor in a volvo however comma i dont know how it would work in the 318. thanks guys

JK.

It might be hard since the Volvo motor was in a FWD car. Gatta love the turbobricks though...some buddies had them in high school & we beat the hell out of them.

Post by: Tor Arne Kaasen on March 16, 2007, 02:18:45 AM: The volvo use Garret t3 TBO313 for the 2,1L i guess its Comp A/R0,42 Eksost A/R0.48. The best choich is Garrets GT BB turbos for fast spool up. I have tuend a volvo 2,3 740 turbo (TB0363 same as dodge daytona TBO335) and
1 bar new IC and other stuff. Volvo = Bad road gripp but funn for drifling. BMW rules. I kiled a light pole whit the volvo ha ha.

The t3 i god for max 220hp on 1,8 1bar est.

Post by: Tor Arne Kaasen on March 17, 2007, 02:48:43 AM: ????????? Volvo motor in BMW ?????? And the point of this is.
Volvo has som bad Ve 0,85. 2 valve per cilinder.
An orginal 740 (2,3L)turbo has 182 hk whit a turbo a 325 ore 525 M50 no turbo has 192 HK. and you want a 2,1 L, No thanks. BMW engins are the best.
