How tough is a B230FT engine? Time to FINISH THE BEAST!!!
Some may recall my dad rebuilding a 1990 740 Turbo last year...but we lost interest and it has sat since then. My Corvette has an engine problem, and I plan on replacing it with a 1996 LT4 Couple next year, until then I needs a good Daily Driver.
As it is, all new interior, just have to have 2 door panels dyed ot match the originals, as they are a couple shades lighter burgundy. Sunroof works perfectly.
needs a new windsheild
Needs a good cheap paint job.
The new Dash pad cover is buckling from the summer heat only a year after installation.
Needs a radio, the orignal is just junk, may put in new speakers too..maybe a pair of 3" Cerwin Vegas in the doors, and some 6X9's in the back, and a 8" sub in trhe trunk in a sealed box. Nothing booming, that goes against "volvo-ness", but it needs a radio BAD..lol
2 headlights, and 1 tail light.
Engine cranks and runs like a top, the new Turbo makes great boost, gotta love it. Is there a way to install a blowoff valve to protect the turbo from binding when the throttle body snaps shut?
Finally, how tough is the engine on this thing? How much boost can it take, STOCK, and how many revs?
