Whether or not this will be of interest on here I do not know, but I can't be the only one to appreciate a fast Volvo

So I've been trying to find a tidy late spec 940 Turbo for a long time, but everything that came up was usually auto or an early one with the 4 speed + overdrive and weaker internals.
Kind of gave up looking and instead kept an eye out for a 140/240/740 to convert to turbo spec, a friend of a friend turned up trumps with a complete B230FK Redblock including M90 box, loom, hoses and everything else for £300!
So that's now on a stand, I have a set of 38mm exhaust valves to go in with double valve springs and a lairy cam from a Swedish tuning company called KG Trimning. I'll also be throwing in a set of rods, however the pistons have been known to withstand over 500bhp.

This then cropped up not far from me for £500, there's marks all over it but very solid, adds to the sleeper appeal!








So long, heavy old A/C!



Knocked up this downpipe flange for the T34.



Wheezy TD04 13C on the left, T34 with 360 degree bearing on the right!
Slight issue though, I need to clock the T34 as the compressor outlet points right at the manifold, is it possible to do? You can with the Mitsubishi turbos as people run fwd T5 turbos on 940's by doing that.


Got the intercooler knocked up and put in place yesterday, need to make 2 more brackets for the top though.





Everything was resting in place so excuse the wonkiness lol.


So spec wise for the time being, we're pretty much bolting bits to the lump that's in it, and see how long before it bends a rod, then throw the built lump in.

4 pots are a must, possibly from later R model or whatever I come across as we can always knock up some brackets, possibly convert the front struts to coilovers, unsure on the rears as they're a separate spring/damper unit.
