Post by robin_740 »

greetings all,

question for experienced board members, did Volvo make a 1989 240/245 turbo wagon automatic?

I am looking at a nice 240 wagon that I want to convert to turbo,

thanks R

I am not sure about the specific answer for that year... but...from what I have read, it is easy to light pressure turbo the engine b230 on a budget. (400-500)

If anyone has a good link for a build thread on a forum, would be cool to see...

You would need a turbo exhaust manifold, turbo (like a cheapo 15g off an 850), modify exhaust, intercooler, tap the block for oil, ect. I heard you can get away without a tune or an oil cooler and still get 5lbs of boost relatively easy. I am planning on this but first wanting to see if my car is worth putting money into (the driveshaft feels like it vibrates under load: the carrier bearing was already replaced)
'92 945 Turbo, 13lb boost on E85 with 54lb injectors, 230k
'98 V70 N/A 174K , Konis Sport + H&R Blue springs,16 inch Solars
'97 855 N/A


Previous: Honda Fit Sport (RIP), Kymco S200 (missed),
'86 244 DL M46 (restored and traded)
