awesome...How hard is it to +turbo? I have a nice strong 93 b230f that i'd like to +t and drop in my 245. I think the only difference between a +t and n/a is sodium filled valves and dished pistons...maybe bigger diameter rods too...
heres mine

Car looks great! Definitely a fan of what you have done so far. I have a soft spot for the 240 wagons. Not hard, just a little aggravating I gather. The hardest part is just figuring out the oil return line honestly, but most people just weld a bung on to the oil pan. There are a bunch of threads on TB with a DIY setup for the +t, but I would DEFINITELY try and +t that b230fOriginally posted by volvo_dave View Post
. Since it is a late year engine the rods are actually beefier than before (post 89 i think?) so you shouldn't really need dished pistons or bigger rods (not initially at least). From what I gathered, all you need is the computers out of a turbo car (740,940) and all of the physical turbo bits (IC, piping, oil lines, manifold etc.), and then you just plug it in and go. I was told I could run 12-14 psi on a stock intercooler, 740 turbo computers, 850r orange top injectors, with a ported 90+ manifold. and almost push the power to 200+ hp at the crank. Yay higher compression engine.

If I can help it, I want to have it done before spring semester. So hopefully by Jan. 15th-ish. I am going home for thanksgiving and will start tearing it apart then probably, but the brunt of the work wont start until around Dec. 15th. All of the oil pan work will kind of suck since I don't have a lift, I am trying to figure out if I can do the work somewhere that has one haha.Originally posted by Omnious View PostMy Build:Comment

fair enough haha. Cant wait! Do you have any plans for the stance? Keeping it more for function than form?Originally posted by philohlean View Post

As much as I would love to just slam the snot out of it, I have to be realistic and keep a bit of ride height so I can navigate all the terrible roads around me haha. That being said, I am planning on dropping the rear to the height of the front (maybe -2 or -3 inches). The big change will be the sawblades, which will need 50mm adapters at least. They are et56 I think, and the car uses et20 or et25 stock. So rolled fenders and stretched tires here I come. So I would say I am leaning towards functionality, but I definitely want some form in there too.Originally posted by Omnious View PostMy Build:Comment

Ahhh that's too bad. Sorry to hear that. It was definitely a mobster haha, and pulled it off quite well. I will either run my 240 into the ground or a wall haha.Originally posted by 244Brick View PostMy Build:Comment
