DYNO TESTING 4 DIFFERENT VOLVO B230 CAMSHAFTS WITH A $150 DOLLAR MAXPEEDINGRODS TURBO!

[@driftsnlifts]

IPD needs to send me a bigger shirt

[@electricwave101]

About Damn Time. Nobody spills volvo Gravy Like this man.

[@jms9605]

He literally oozes it

[@AlxGTR]

Nice work there! I have tuned a lot of B230 on my dyno here in Sweden. We are often using the V and the VX3 camshafts in the cheap builds and they perform really good. When the engine has a stock bottom I want to stop at 300 hp and 400 Nm at the wheels to keep the rods straight. That is with a ramped boost curve, usually 1.4 bar to 2 bar at a 6800 rpm rev limit and 98 fuel. That is 93 in north america.

[@madismaalt5232]

A question, is the 300hp on different Ecu or like on the chip? Whats the simplest mods to get 230fk near 200hp? ( or what are good chips to buy for cheap hp )

[@AlxGTR]

@@madismaalt5232 We have MaxxEcu or VEMS in all our higher hp builds, like 300 and more. We have a lot of home made chips and more known brand name chips also but is not worth it. My friend has a 940 with B230FK and a custom chip for stock ecu making 382 whp with a BW efr turbo and that works quite good. But to this point it has costed more than getting a Maxx installed.

[@madismaalt5232]

@@AlxGTR thanks for that info 👍 i thought upgrading the chip etc, are cheaper upgrade than the ecus, guess i was wrong then

[@bentleymackinnon2877]

Stoked to see these results, even more stoked to see the gravy headmaster back in action.

[@dude5718]

I've had this maxpeeding turbo on my miata for over a year now with no issues.

[@JavierRuiz-kn1jm]

I purchased one of these turbos from maxspeeding rods for my astra Vxr in December. It was all fitted correctly, primed up.

Aye I got my first 240 because of this channel. Glad you're back🤙

[@SiMPLY_240]

Damn, I lucked out scoring my A cam since its performance numbers are so comparable to the iPD one! I'm so so glad you made this video comparing them cause the old forums can be a little much at times, plus some parts are getting real rare, and this is just a digestible information piece. (Also will hopefully visit PostHaste when a planned Vancouver trip happens sometime next year so the fellas can hook me up with a fresh tune while I come through. In theory at least!)

Not sure about the US and Canada but pretty much all 740s with b200e and b230e kjet engines come with V cams

Great to see you doing what you do well, talking about your passion. VOLVOS.

[@martinaugustsson1980]

In Sweden we find the A-cam in old 240 or 740 with B23A or B230A (carb)

[@marcus4432]

We had a B230FK tuned with Maxspeeding T3T4, KLR Intercooler, IPD cam on 100 octane with 1.4 bar on LH2.4. We got 270whp out of it... Tuned by Dann in Sweden.

[@jackkrupka3024]

Awsome video! Really cool to see the differences in the cams!

[@oldschoolvolvo]

Thanks for doing this video! Great to put some numbers to the different cams.

[@Seumu990]

Pretty neat video! Thank you. I was especially interested in the results of the V camshaft because I have one but no car yet. The previous setup I had to sell was a 940 classic which included a B230FT, T15 turbo, bigger nozzles, A camshaft and chips. As soon as there is a chance, I thought I would turbocharge the 245 with a B230x engine. Because that would be my dream car.

[@PJCT.excite]

High key reminded me of Nathan explosion in the beginning clip there

[@angus3963]

Back, now with extra traps!

[@noah2530]

Fantastic video, I appreciate the idle sound clips!

[@NAAlltheway245]

Stock intercooler? Also, in addition to the touch more duration, the overall reduced overlap on the V probably helps it push the rpm peak that 700 rpm to the right in a turbocharged application. Nice work, great video, and another score for the V!

[@RobertJeffersonBased]

Thank you for returning with more smelly volvo goop for us sir

[@ingunowner7088]

Top notch content Sir. Appreciate your efforts.♡

[@botyogi1922]

picked up a slotted B cam for 100 buck on marketplace thanks for the video. B is close enough to A for me to line the torque curve up.

[@driftsnlifts]

B is very close to A. Maybe a haaair more aggressive

[@IKEACar]

Sad to see the N/A build go away but its for the best ❤

[@JohanTheDude97]

Your good freind Anderas from Sweden runs a 531 head with V cam. And hx35 turbo. 300 wheel on 1.3bar of boost on 2.4 lh.

[@cesarhanshoff2741]

I have that exact turbo in my B230F(1990) turbo converted. I run 1 bar (14.5psi) and it rips. It has run well for a year. Dont trust the rods for higher boost.

[@KABOBkabob]

Are the 90+ non turbo engines skinny rods still?

[@cesarhanshoff2741]

@KABOBkabob They have the thicker rods if that is what you mean 13 mm. But I will change to H-profile for more boost.

[@dirtymat8240]

I've been wondering for some time if there is something actually wrong with my engine with a T cam since it dies so bad on the top end but this really shows that it really is just the cam. Would have been even better if you also included like the KLR T3 and maybe a K cam too but this was already a really good comparison too. 👍 I wonder what cam I should get, I have a B230FK with T3/4 and Speeduino ECU etc. I will upgrade to HX35 soon and probably go E85 too. I'm located in Finland so IPD is not an option. Been thinking of a K cam but they are somewhat hard to come by and KG trimning that has reproduced them seem to have been out of stock for a long time.

[@Cottsify]

17:00 the V cam also comes in b230e kjet found in 740s it's where I pulled mine from

[@ANTsoijghftr]

was it from NA or +t 740

[@Cottsify]

@ANTsoijghftr NA kjet

[@lownslow1414]

Bro is lookin big 💪🏽💪🏽

[@theAngelofhevn]

Theres a reason the T is called Blompinne (flower support stick) in Finland and Sweden. Its not good for anything else

[@angus3963]

The 240 B19A used the A cam (surprise), have temped to not even both with switching mine unless I go with something more aggreessive then the A cam.

[@ToreDL87]

Thx for the upload, there's been a clinical lack of Volvo nectar. Have you considered something like the Ford 8.8 or something to get a cheapo limited slip diff that can handle the power? 300 is almost overkill for a car that light, but at least now you have the drivetrain (mostly) to stand up to the abuse.

[@driftsnlifts]

I haven't really considered the Ford 8.8 as these diffs have been holding up pretty good. I definitely don't mind the welded but maybe an LSD would make a faster sideways car.

[@richardcarlssonraa1201]

Hey. I have a b230a engine and the a cam is stock i those.

[@Mikeyupp]

You should ask Maxpeedingrods to make ford 2.3 lima rods It would be so nice if they had them

[@adamblanco5028]

did that max peeding rods turbo just bolt right up to the motor or did it need some modifications

[@7ufsa78]

[@pontusharle9982]

V CAM is in the b230e Engine

[@FinnishComrade]

Much appreciated for the comparison data. What kind of injectors are you using in this ft engine? I have a set of 6 790cc injectors laying around that I intend to use with my b230ft, was wondering how far those would hold up on ethanol

[@driftsnlifts]

This car has 1000cc injectors in it. I believe I am at the ragged edge of the stock fuel pumps though

[@FinnishComrade]

@driftsnlifts Makes sense, I'm going to use the 340lph Aem pump (AEM 50-1220) and redo the lines in AN-8. Getting another set of injectors would help me get all out the hx35 Full race turbo

What are the dimensions of the wheels and the tires on the front axle?

And there is also goldboxes wich originally where ment for motorsport wich there are quite a few so most people i know run r injectors h rods forged pistons vx3 cams and like 16t or slightly bigger turbos and make a bunch of power

@driftsnlifts - are you running stock rods or did you upgrade those to H-beams? I have a stock T cam since that is what I could find in the JY when I did my +T build. Looking at upgrading to a more stout setup.

You're gonna regret going that far in final drive ratio. My turboed 240 wagon (gt3071r - 531 head - enem v16t cam) had a 3.73:1 initially, which broke a spider gear. I swapped in a 3.54:1 rear end and it got noticeable more sluggish. I then mistook a broken guibo for another broken rear end, and swapped in a 3.31:1 one, and that finally killed all fun driving the car. It lost all guts inbetween gears, it's not even funny.

[@wyattlobato679]

Did that enem v16t cam make a difference? I have one lying around yet to install

[@driftsnlifts]

What trans were you running? I have a BMW zf in this car and they're quite short ratio with a 1:1 5th gear compared to the Volvo m46/m47 transmissions that have a 4th gear 1:1. I just did the swap to the 3.31 rear end yesterday and its sooo much better. Id say the car is faster now because I can actually use the piles of torque the turbo engine makes without having to constantly change gears.

[@spaghettilocomotive]

@@wyattlobato679 It' a decent cam, but what is your current cam?
