hi, just wanted to be the first volvo here..

it's an old(65) volvo in sweden it's called amazon but i think it was named 120 in the rest of the world..

here is an picture fron last year before it was parked for the winter garage time..


and here is some ofr the things i have worked with, a new intake. the runners became abit short. but seem to work..


here is the left side of the front. just fixed it upp and builed to bigger and ventilated brake rotors.


the engine is a volvo b230ft (2,3l) the head is called 530 and i just did a small porting jobb. the rest of the engine only got new gaskets and bearing(?)
for now i use the stock header and turbo but a new header will be made to fit my schwizer turbo.

the bakaxel is a ford 9" and the gearbox is a zf from a bmw 525tdi.

This car is a cookie monster. Notice the box of heart shaped cookies sitting on the head.

got tired rather quickly with the small turbo i used. So i have now build a header for my abit larger turbo, it's a schwitzer S200.( in 54mm-out 64mm).

for now i changed to 380cc injectors, the 1600cc i think i save to race days..



another pic, the pipes is about 45-55cm long. not pulse-split. the wastegate is a 50mm knock off.. (dirt cheap)..
