Nice work . I own a very nice golden color 1990 240DL Sedan . It has only 103,000 original miles. I'd like to rebuild it for more horsepower. Right now I have so much going on that I don't have the time but it's on my to do list. Thank you for the parts list . This gives me some sort of direction to go with mine . I subscribed to your channel. I'd like to see more videos of the volvo engine and the project. . Keep up the good work.

[@kishmick]

Hi! Nice! I'm also doing the same B230ET block right now. But a lot of people say that the 55mm-main bearing crankshaft ('85-'89) can only handle 400HP. And that it is also good to improve the central axial bearing to 360°. So how is it in practice? Thanks for the reply. Tom.

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

Afaik the b230 88A blocks are weak due to smaller main bearings (low friction) and the axial bearings. I have not tested it out myself yet as I have always replaced my 88A with 88B for my builds. But, I have read and heard stories about the axial bearings more or less falling out of place at high revolutions.

[@kishmick]

@@ASDASD34RDFS Thanx, but the main bearings are almost the same. They're just smaller: they're not 63mm, but 55mm in diameter (and they even have more oil, because the squiters take away the high oil pressure). 85-89- "Low friction" is called lubrication-cooling of pistons from below. But this is rather good for low piston temperatures. I'm also trying to double those thrust bearings. Then you get 360° bearings. Well, I'll see when I finish the whole thing if at 7400rpm. it will explode!!! :-

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

@kishmick low friction is due to tighter tolerances afaik. The block itself is also not used often as the rods are the weakest and will bend. Honestly dont know much about 88A. 88b are better in every way and you can get a block here for around 100 dollars with everything else included.

[@kishmick]

@@ASDASD34RDFS Now I have both blocks at home. And now I'm putting together a low friction. So I can have a perfect comparison. But my point was that no one but me noticed that there was a block 85-89 in this video. And this particular block on the video isn't used much for high-end tuning.

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

@kishmick are you sure? I do not see the axial bearings being installed in the video.

[@TheViper-ek2wv]

Awesome video bro, I just bought a 940 with a b200f, wanna build then boost it rather than go for a 230FT or something easy/boring. Hoping to build something similar, and reading the comments i'm glad i found your channel/business! That main bearing torquing procedure looks complex, with some kind of chemical pressure indicator? Is that some kind of ARP kit? Thanks.

you insulted him, then ask him a question, you think he will respond haha. You know this is an "easy/boring" B230, right?

[@burntbananastube]

You misunderstand. I meant that i would like to build and boost my N/A engine to this level, as opposed to transplanting a factory turbo motor such as the B230FT and upgrading, which would make it a lot easier but be far less interesting.

Yeah man I get what you're saying, a non-factory turbo engine can be a lot of work to run smoothly on boost, while factory turbo engines is a matter of changing out whatever parts you want to upgrade and re-tuning.
