Volvo 940 Turbo Drift Car Project!

Volvo 940 Turbo Drift Car Project
Welcome back to our channel! So work has begun on the volvo 940 turbo drift project, we're starting off with replacing the standard seats for bucket seats and harnesses. There's still plenty left to do to this car like fitting a M90 Manual gearbox, a TTV Light billet flywheel and Volvo 850R Clutch, we have alot of work to prepare this 940 for drifting so keep watching to see us transform it into the ultimate drift bus!
Welcome to Usher Engineering KZbin channel,

I absolutely love the way you and your father work together. He is a great teacher and you are really respectful and seem eager to learn.

[@dwaynejackson7059]

My daughter and I made a 350Z for drifting for her. Love that more daughters are turning into gearheads

[@PaulinesPastimes]

What a fun project. Looking forward to the next video 👌

[@finlay230]

class project !!!!

[@northernhedgehog6737]

Girl who's into cars. (Don't think you had a choice ;) ) whats not to love. Cant wait to see this finished 👏🏻

[@Rekoster]

Girl with passion. Love it :)

[@gwiggy8793]

Legend of a dad right there ! Mines a bastard !

[@ChrisUKFF]

Old volvo, bigger turbo, stripped interior what's not to like?

[@rectro6552]

hell yeah the Volvo content i've been missing

[@alanhanniffy8177]

The caddy pick up !!!! More more of it, actually more in general, love your work 🙂🇮🇪

[@pauljenkins2501]

Well done, you two. Thanks for another great video.

[@1981dasimpson]

i have always like volvos and saabs built like tanks

[@KhalidKhan-zj9nx]

Nice job god bless you

[@AW-Services]

Another awesome video. Stick a T-5R in it

[@Antsummerfield83]

I don't no about anyone else but Beth is absolutely beautiful and brilliant at her job 😍

[@spareparts420]

That is awesome, and looks fun

[@firstnamelastname3558]

Good episode.

[@thewehhhh]

Love a Volvo 💪🏻👊

[@ricky107_]

Ohhh yesss volvoo!

[@stephenflynn8489]

ace !

[@maciekm7953]

Awesome project 👍 can't wait to see it going sideways on the track 😁

[@craiglawson8804]

Great team work 😊👍. And that is a nice volvo esp the clean n like new interior...

[@zagstheklown187]

Hello from across the pond in America. I love the channel keep up the good work you all rock !!

[@Reman1975]

I just had an evil idea for a drift day car ! I've got a twisted sense of humour when it comes to "Sleeper" cars and always wanted to build an externally stock looking Mk5 Transit, But with something like a GM LS6 mounted in the back and running to a less agricultural independent rear suspension setup. For full effect it would also have to have a tow bar fitted, So you can turn up at the drag strip towing a car trailer with a mate's drag car on it. Imagine the smirking when you say "This looks like a bit of a laugh. Am I allowed to take my van down the strip?" . :D Anyway, Covert drift toy idea...... Stripped out (But standard looking) 940 turbo ESTATE, Tweaked 2JZ under the bonnet. W58 gearbox behind that....... And a roof rack with as many empty old suitcases as you can glue together and strap down onto it ! If you can find a life sized toy Labrador and have it's head sticking out of one of the rear windows, All the better ! LOL ! Put your company name along the rear quarter panels of the car and you'll DEFINITELY get free advertising from all your track day trips because everyone there who's filming videos of their mates car going sideways for uploading to KZbin will also want to film and upload footage of your loaded up Volvo shredding tires ! :D

[@garethwilding2067]

Great vid, enjoy your content, need more Sierra vids please

[@paulwillson907]

Keep up the good work 😃 glad you guys get on with each other and bounce off each other well in projects 👌 cant beat the tough older cars!

[@leebarnard9090]

Another good video 👍

[@mrjuergensie]

such an old volvo has a solid and heavy interior. You can easily save more than 100 kg by removing it. That makes the car a lot livelier. Another great video from you. Please keep it up

[@davidyates748]

I was surprised that the 940 only weighed in at 1460kg, but then again it is the poverty spec model with manual seats! Good work so far!

[@Michael-lg4wz]

great work! dont forget a wind sock for outside on the mic. I got a cheap boya for my DSLR its about 5 x better than the inbuilt

[@chemistry636]

Great video. I have a 940 Estate and love driving it and doing the odd maintenance. It will be interesting to see the progress with your 940.

[@Ellenslife851]

Love the style of this car I remember when these were new in the 1990s a lot of people had these

[@Dufferz83]

Remember to reinforce the mounting points for the rear axle (weak point on 940 even with stock power) :)

[@neilprescott2650]

With the quality of work you and your dad do that car is going to be mega keep up the good work, great to see dad and daughter working so well

[@neilprescott2650]

U just gotta learn to drift it now Beth ,I went in a drift taxi at santa. Pod absolutely loved it

[@JerryMotorsport]

Always a bonus to find cash in the car; unless it's no longer leagal tender. Lovely looking Chevy!

[@ashraf7439]

Hurry we're waiting for that project to be done 😉

[@jonttuz2180]

You can get from stock turbo 180 hp. Change cam (vx3 or ipd turbo cam), better exhaust and 0.8 bar boost. And you should install cold air intake. Edit. So your going to bigger turbo be just sure that it doesn't lean out either bigger injectors or chip

[@ettoredomini4614]

How can vids like this be disliked?

[@Voevoden]

Very cool, Love the truck

[@MartinMcMartin]

The old Swedish taxi will look cool tipping in full sideways 🤘

[@alljoy6541]

This is so cool, to do this with dad. Can't wait to see it drive on the track.

[@cube_4208]

Ooo cheeky xr4 spotted 😁

[@zxrSte]

✌

[@Siwahib]

Who on earth would press dislike ?!!

[@yeah.8382]

I’ve been waiting for a series like this

[@pjs617]

Another great video amazing car so looking forward to seeing this project progress 👍🙂👊😎💪

[@johnosullivan3924]

Great Vid....thanks for sharing

[@traceyprescott8347]

Love the way you work together. Something to really follow as well as bad obsession. Really looking forward to see how this project unfolds.

[@paulwhite7475]

I like Volvo's. They're boxy but they're good . In the words of Dudley Moore

[@trevorpomroy550]

And his darling Flo...

[@benjaminmellingen5340]

Looks like a very nice 940, excited to see what you do with it

[@conradkenneth5216]

Greetings from the international space station!

[@andyep3103]

Looking forward to seeing this come along, different.

[@LaciKezifekes]

Drift Volvo? Interesting project! I waiting the progress. The seat belt is so very dangerous in this form, because it squeezes your spine. The correct connection in the shoulder height in a straight line back to the hat holder. I`m hungarian, my english is not good, i used the google translate.

[@boilerhousegarage]

Me no speaka da lingo.

[@125sm3]

That volvo is a proper tank 😂 the Chevy Stepside is awsome. Great video.

[@davidmusk5256]

Love a good volvo build.

[@davestar7]

Great vids, keep em coming!

[@chopperhehehe]

Don't forget pedal box to be changed to That will be a big tank drifting lol atleast you be safer lol 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁🤞✌️

[@artan8664]

Wasn't expecting you guys to start building a volvo, awesome 😁

[@leereed8412]

When you come to do the manual conversion make sure you mark where the marks on the flywheel are. as you can bolt up the flywheel in any position and throw out the timing and it won’t start or if your only 1 bolt out it will have a weird misfire as I’ve found out the hard way 🙈

[@jassxcarabalox5602]

Excelente vídeo :)

[@ashkay780]

In 1996 my uncle had one of these manual on a K plate...Was a quick car :)

[@sidewaysaction9983]

is a pleasure to watch 2 people who know Motorsport fabrication. People always overlook weight saving, the most important thing in Motorsport in my opinion is loosing weight below and above the spring's. Are you getting rid of Ackerman's??

[@usherengineering179]

We will be looking at the suspension and steering lock as we go...

[@TotoGuy-Original]

using halfords advanced tools nice! mine never let me down

[@tim7131]

great video..keep up the good work. I'm sure you will have lots of fun building and drifting the Volvo. Awesome Chevy truck . I wish I had a girl like you working in our shop, Beth. Much respect from Australia

[@BrorAppelsin]

I used to have one of those, though mine was a wagon. And now I have a Caddy, so more on that too, pretty please, with sugar on top!

[@Falco45able]

I needed you to Change the alternator on my Volvo five pot C30 today what a struggle! Enjoy the vids stay safe!😉

[@benrage5373]

Keep up the good work love the channel and the concept of this build, the Norfolk accent is refreshing too i moved away from kings lynn a few years ago, miss it. Had a few good drift days myself at Norfolk arena

[@hedgehog5705]

On the bonnet

[@geebopbaluba1591]

5 window chevys are high dollar here in Texas. Your really doing very nice work also.

[@MDKHAN-9907]

Bohot achha kam he apka janab

[@chrisgreenwood271]

The old truck is 😎

[@Skaaaq]

Hello, do not forget to remove the two weight in the front beam and the one on the fire wall near the distributor. On your M90 if you dare to weld the third syncro please do a vid and share it please. I confirm the tdi clutch slips.

[@ebrahimajam9299]

😍 you have me hooked to this channel

[@PontusOhlert]

Fun build. Absolutely love the way you work. Remember to weld the stop ring on 3rd gear on the m90 gearbox since it's prone to fail.. Don't ask me how i know :/

[@KrozMcD]

Nice work! You guys need a fluffy microphone to stop wind noise. Sometimes can't hear what you're saying 😢

[@Michael-lg4wz]

I bought a boya mic for $50 stopped windnoise and sounds 100x better

[@maxwilson1674]

Fantastic that you guys are doing these upgrades. I recently pulled a 940 turbo from a field and got in on the road. I'm hoping to do the m90 swap in the next year so really looking forward to your insight. Love what you're doing with the car.

[@williamm3820]

I couldn't do this to a Volvo ! Great work though and you are a great team :)

[@maxjarno7814]

A tip of what I call a simple build... My friends volvo 945 has this.. Original engine except H beam conrods Group A camshaft Bigger injectors Walbro fuelpump EFR 6258 turbo 3inch MAF sensor Original ECUs mapped by me and him on the road and dynoed later on. 400 hp and 590Nm in the engine...

[@tylerjames8076]

I would have mounted the harness higher up, but other than that great video!

[@usherengineering179]

The harnesses will be mounted to a rollcage at some point :)

[@tylerjames8076]

@@usherengineering179 that's good, wouldn't want anyone to get hurt

[@trevorpomroy550]

That bulkhead behind the rear seat reminds me of the one in my is. It makes the boot far less useful but it really ties the rear of the car together well. (Edit: I hate my keyboard)

[@mattjamieson3148]

Need a better cam for the new turbo to work at its potential.

[@jmcsnc]

Keeping it simple, there’s some easy wins in sound deadening, and unwanted elec’s and wiring . . . Have fun

[@jonathanhughes8326]

Great video Beth nice to see a girl working on a car and not just us lads lol every time I watch you you remind me of Helen off goblins works garage on guest lol

[@beth1793]

I’d love to be like Helen! The best role model for girls getting into cars👌🏻

[@ianwilson4666]

Did I see, some 2cv banded wheels, to one side ?

[@dielauwen]

Mauw! CAT went to Sturgis. You would have Rallys like that in the UK?

[@infectedharpy5247]

There are 2 frame weights in the front behind the bumper shocks. A pain to remove on a 940 but easy 20kg diet

[@matfenwick]

Am I weird for enjoying the sound of a nice weld bead being laid down?

[@TurboWorld]

Nice choice. Got a few tips on my channel.

[@csabatari1924]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍....

[@simonhenriksson3065]

Swedish power😆 i’m from sweden 2👌

[@jamesbrett6518]

Do you need a cage with the buckets and harnesses?

[@thughes52]

Beth x may I ask what thought did you take to try a Volvo as a drift car just curious ? awesome videos though ....👍usher engineering

[@JayOneoff]

Could you make a seat belt bar? Save your collar bones.

[@fixitnige]

Gret works guys but Beth watch him when he works in the boot of a car he's really taking a nap, will that volvo auto box fit that 3.9 rover? see you soon.

[@dr.winner2516]

Sorry I couldn't understand 0:53 "Why did you...", the wind was a bit loud

[@okoyej08]

Go with an m90 trans, don't use the diesel clutch as its trash and won't hold up to good boost. Splurge on a ttv flywheel and 850r clutch. So far it's taken the most abuse with the big turbo I run.

[@usherengineering179]

Thats exactly what we are fitting, m90 ttv and a 850r clutch, its good to know we are on the right path

[@ijonus]

Is this 601 Classic Red? If so, that it's exactly like mine, black fenders, black rims (but mine are 17" Arrakis from S80) and black mirrors. This color is very prone to getting bland from the sun, when I bought mine it looked like a tomato, so I named him "Tomato Dragon" :D But a day of hand polishing made it shine, and then after some time I gave it to the proffesional, machine polish + ceramic coating and this color looks gorgeous. I'm not going tu turn mine into drifter (I have another one for this xD), it looks good enough for pleasure cruising, but do whatever floats your boat with yours :) Fun fact: I have no turbo and a turbo grill, and your - exactly the opposite :)

[@petedoherty6041]

what the story on the vw

[@tandemcompound2]

find any shillings or farthings under the seats?

[@ealoken]

What turbo and gearbox are you planing on?

[@usherengineering179]

We have a 16t turbo from a v70 t5, and an m90 manual gearbox from a late 940! -Beth
