Hello everyone!

I'm new here to this forum and have always had an interest in rear wheel drive Nissans/Infinities (510s, 300zx, Gs, Zs, 240s). Been thinking about eventually picking up a 350Z and am learning a lot from you guys. At this moment I own a 1992 Volvo 240 sedan. It's pushing about 17psi with a turbo set up retro-fitted from a 1990 740t, turbo ecu/ign comp, H20 injection, ported exhaust manifold, 60trim T3, 2.3 liter w/9.8:1 compression, RX-7 oil cooler, urethane bushings, adjustable panhard rod, sways, 3.5"downpipe/3.0" exhaust side exit Magna Flow exhaust, etc.... I'm assuming about 230rwhp and 280rwtq and ALL work done by myself. Definitely a fun sleeper. I do have some turbo knowledge and lots of experience under the hood of many cars. I hope my experiences will become a valuable asset to many of you. Thanks!

welcome sean.

interesting volvo...post some pics of it.

 

Welcome dood yeah let's see some pictures. if u got that much experience it sure would not hurt to drive down and help me do my TT set up right? lol welcoem again and let's see some Volvo

 

wellcome sean.............. soundz like you've got some dyno connections?

 

he works @ stillen...... or so i believe

 

Welcome to boards. I think I talked to you for a little bit when I was Qualcomm a month or so ago at Racelegal. Anyways, your Volvo is pretty sweet.

 

Hmmm. works at Stillen, interesting!

Oh hey! Welcome Sean.

Get some pictures of the Volvo up. I'm curious to see what a "side exit exhaust" sleeper looks like.
Sounds damn nice!

 

ditto on the pics... you should look into a 280ZX I just sold my 350Z about 5 months ago. Save your money

 

I wish I had some dyno connections worth mentioning!

I have yet to dyno my car, but from what other people on my Volvo forum are doing....I should be right around in that ball park. I do have a friend that works at Stillen. His Volvo only put down about 170rwhp, but thats using a turbo block with low cr @ 10psi. I run an NA block with NA compression :-) I do have a ported head and stand alone planned in a few months and hopefull that'll put me at 300hp at the crank.

I'll post some pics hopefully by the weekend. I need to replace my front clip (got friendly with the center divider on the grape vine) before I display my cars true ugliness
