To be honest, yes the turbo setup would be the mindful thing to do. But the symphony of a high compression engine with ITB's cannot be beaten. Turbo's are beautiful for power, N/A is pure art.

@@unknownmemory645 it doesn't have to be. High comp, ported head, bigger valves, reworked chambers. Lightened and fully balanced rotating assembly. Yes it's expensive, which is why almost everyone goes turbo nowadays.

Too bad you don't have the Huff engine, that would have come in REAL handy by about now lol. I say take the oilsquirter block and put the N/A stuff in it, sort the oiling issue and use as is. Meanwhile, prep the N/A penta big block you got from that boat (pepperidge farm remembers), drill for oil squirters also. Nevermind the Toyota ITB's, slap a moderate 16v head (I know you're against it, but it's the only thing you haven't done yet) and some 50mm Webers on there, even if it doesn't make the HP you want its gonna spin the tires from a dead stop by just letting the clutch out at idle while on the brakes 😂

Since already having a proper turbo car it would be cool to keep the gold car as NA-Warrior. The cool NA stuff dragged me to this channel back in the days!! Atleast go with 16valve head or with the 2.5L bottom. Or maybe swap a inline 6 from 960. Swap that 2.3Turbo to 200-series or maybe other 700/900 cleanish shell to have as fun daily. Theres so many options to go for but you do as you feel best to! :)

2.5L penta crank, 160mm rods, Yamaha XT600 pistons, block decked by 1mm, fully built 531 with big valves, customized combustion chambers, high compression, a good aggressive NA cam, ITBs and headers and should get you over 200hp easily.
@dirtymat82403 ай бұрын
And I mean like over 13 static compression and a cam with something like 290-300° duration @1mm and over 15mm lift, then you are talking the NA language

People who say to run ITBs have never run ITBs! Me and my buddy recently built an intake plenum for my 318ti bmw E36 to get rid of the variable length intake which is so restrictive, using stock cams and standalone ecu, it made 20bhp over standard and the average hp increased over the whole rev range and honestly it sounds as good as ITBs. I think something like that would be cool plus it’s not gonna drink fuel the way ITBs do or lose the power bottom end

if you stay NA which I vote for, try to make it as fuel efficient / good power ratio as you can and if you go for another intake I vote for the itbs ofc first mod them to not have the cracking issue OR find the K-Jet volvo intake that people mod the injector holes into so it works on b230, as far as I know it should flow better than the stock intake in it currently.

You're going to need to do something about the oil slosh situation either way, so a modified oil pan or accusump is needed whichever way you go. It would be a real shame to see you give up on the NA path. This channel just won't be the same without a good NA motor in the mix, screaming like a banshee. You know that head is good for way more power, I really think the B230 intake is all that's corking it up. KL has several options to fix that, or you could try again with some different ITBs or bike carbs or something. If the fuel thing is a big issue... it might be worth thinking about 16v. You can get way more out without having to go super wild on cams and such.

My rarest Volvo part was an OEM 940 rear wing with integrated mid brake light. Never have i ever seen one on another 940. If i did see a wing it was an 850R saloon wing. Other fun part was a cruise control kit for a manual car (not stock on lower spec Euro cars. My car was a 940lpt GL spec, it didn't even have a boost gauge). I belief Volvo had a separate R-sport catalogue (paper booklet) that you could get from a dealer. Another super nice part to have are a set of 960 front cross member strengthening braces. (the early 740's and 760's had a tendency to develop cracks in the crossmember. Volvo fixed this with these brace brackets on the 960's I retro fitted them on my 1997 940lpt. Also the oem turbo brace between the 2 front suspention lower stays. It looks like a double bent bar going under the gbox. It fits on the OEM body bolts.

Definitely do not run that engine again, for the most part it would be able to be saved rather than getting it to the point of knocking. I did notice last video that oil warning light would come on when turning left so maybe in a new setup this could also be addressed with a windage/baffle setup if not already? Going forward in what setup to use next its hard to say as you are passionate about both NA and Turbo, but also to factor in that its your seat time car, current NA setup seems like allot of work with not so much return in you favour of hp, where as a stock turbo block with add Ons may bring more in the end with more seat time and power goal of 250hp and if not reliability. Its a hard one but the turbo setup just sounds like a known end goal with point and shoot?
