Lolvo Project

[Munson]

The boost level will be what's at the manifold. 20psi from a single or a twin will never be the same really even on the same engine, they're different turbos so different characteristics/power bands/figures etc.

Regards twin turbos, it depends if they're sequential or non sequential. The triangle engine is sequential, so full boost from very low down, horrendous switchover flat spot, full boost to redline pretty much.

By triangle, do you mean the w**kel?

Full boost to redline is for winners. Shuts up the queers who keep banging on about high revving redlining NAs. Yeah I'll take your redline, and mine, plus boost. $2.99 Faggots!

Aye the wankel, it's not going to be my shitbox 1.6 8v Megane lol!

High revs plus boost, can't be beaten. Ask the turbo 'Busa boys.

 

[Munson]

Boost is basically for men, and as such, I embrace this Lolvo project with open arms.

My bus has a new noise tube on, and it's freed it up ! It could all just be in my head, but the engineer part of me says I'm not making it up

Boost is absolutely FTFW !

 

[Jamie86]

I keep thinking about a Rica chip for mine but engine has done 200k and only does 25mpg anyway..

Will keep an eye on this mind

 

[Munson]

Yeah but half your boost is being wasted driving some other wheels?

The colour is cool. Dealwidit.

Trust me if i had the B5234FT (2.3 T5 engine) then i would run stupid boost, But the cylinder walls in the B5254FT (2.5T) are too thin and with the higher compression that the engine already runs it may go Boom.

Rob: it Front whell drive, no diffs or aids, not even traction control in this bad boy. FWD is for Pros.

New wheels on, front bumper and new grill also in. Suspension on the way:

Have Volvo....will travel

 

[Ghm]

My dad has Volvo written into his DNA, simply will not buy a car that is not a Volvo!

I always mock him with the it's an old man's car etc etc.... But I do like the black car on the OP and have a soft spot for the 850r's and modern day R designs but I wont tell him that.
Nice car, will keep checking back on this.

Lel.

She's 20 years old and a wheel bearing has collapsed...

You're going to help me refresh the suspension early next year - and someone will come and have a go at a few body work bits.

Proper Volvo, unlike some of this other "volvo" s**t that passes for a Volvo on here.

The interior is the best bit.
