I searched the internet for clues, but couldn't find an aftermarket cam for a B230, or much of anything else. The motor is a non-turbo, but I figure there has to be something in the way of modifications for an NA 2.3. I think I saw something (it's been a while) in a PAW catalog. Can anyone make suggestions of where to look, or what to get? Or should I just blow it off for now and start searching for a wrecked turbo car with the same trans? Actually, I know so little about Volvos right now that I don't even know if there's a seperate transmission computer, or if there's even electronic shift on this car.

Thanks in advance for the help, sorry for my confusion. I'm just testing the waters

 

Your best bet is to sell this car and buy a turbo, or save up and buy a turbo.

You can mod a N/A, but you wont gain much. If you got to have power buy the turbo.

Here is what IPD has for you.

"240 1976-95 VX performance camshaft WS0272* $189.00 7.4000 BUY "

"This street performance cam is for B21, B23, and B230F engines in 240 and 740 series 1978 to 1993. Including turbo models. For non-turbo cars you will gain about 12HP and take up to 1.2 seconds off your 0-60 times. Street performance profile increases midrange torque and allows the engine to rev more freely to produce more horsepower. Cam is ground on a new billet.

Easy install takes 2-3 hours. You may need to adjust the valve shims so it is a good idea to have a shim kit and tool available. Also a good time to install a new timing belt and seals."

 

In the General section I made a post with links to sites check it out.

 

Thanks !!!!

I should be slapped for not reading the read-me's.

 

Nah not everyone goes into the General section thats why I remind some people it is there.
