Default IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT TURBO VOLVO

I have a 89 volvo 740 turbo and i blew the engine, but i want to know if i can use the engine from a stock non turbo volvo with the same engine. is the internals of the engine the same so basically will it hold up to tho pressure of a turbo. Email me back at m1kota@hotmail or just post here with any comments that will be helpful

Default RE: IMPORTANT QUESTION ABOUT TURBO VOLVO

Basically your asking if you can buy a Non Turbo Volvo engine and turbo it.

Yes you can. But it will take some good money, time and some tuning for it to run properly.

It is easier to do on the older Volvo's, but still not worth it IMO.

Just buy a turbo engine already and or sell the car for scrap and buy a whole new turbocharged car.
