Volvo 480 Club Europe

is has been -19 C here for about 3 days now.

This was my home the last day of the year, its still the same and a bit more :) Nice winter feel, I love this much snow. It's been year since we last got this much. In 2002 there was about the same amount - I was serving my time in the army that winter. It was a lot of work to mess around in that sn...

it ist't easy but can be done with a set of tools. Takes time a lots os swearing

Well the 480 doen't have back-wheel-lifting-up-in-the-corner problems like VolksWaginas have. I'm not a professional race driver, but I liked every second on track with my 480. Handles way better than 850T5R

So go for the turbo car and have some fun

laser cut or water jet the rings, buy some tubing, get some welding classes if you don't know how, get a welding machine, cover the engine, but the rings in place, measure the stuff, cut, tack them in place, remove when done, weld properly, grind off what needed, cover with primer, cover with paint,...

take them to testing or test them yourself (a real fuel mess).

It is normal for car manufacturers to order a lot of parts in one go. Keeps the price down. So they made most of the dashes in 86. And took it out from the warehouse in 95 and but on the car. These things don't have best before on them , so there shouldn't be a problem with it. Damn, Volvo used the ...

Hey Chris, I think he is referring to the SIR spec Civics, and of course the VTIs. Both of which have the almighty 1.6 engine which develops a staggering 170 horsepower as standard. Hate the styling? Thats by the by, you simply can't argue with those figures. Not to mention the handling and build q...

search the forum, you get the anvser. But its more or less up to 1 bar of boost. But the cars engine must me in good shape also the injectors. I ran with a bigger turbo on all stock motor @ 1bar and had no problems, of high heat and lean mixture that could of melt the pistons. And if you are afraid ...

I ran my car with a 2,5" race CAT and a twin straight trough resonators and wasn't all that bad, but still for use every day i think it's to much noise. Added a straigth trough muffler later. Haven't you heard that noise doesn't make power, but power makes noise? I suggest to get a high flow CAT and...

They fit to the standard manifold and can be get from turbo saab or a nissan. But there is a catch. The connection to the downpipe needs some work and the coldside might have to be turned and dependant on a turbo also intake need some custom connections (T25G/T28/GT25 and so on turbos) I ran my 480 ...

I'd buy it, one of my dream cars .

Its like, I had a dream to get myself a 700series turbo - well got one
then as a childhood dream had a need for a 480 - well got a 480 turbo.
Some years back before 480 had a dream to get a 850R wagon - well I have one now.

Who knows what life brings.

Hmm, damn, why didn't they use 24V versions in Volvos.

hmm, prv12? or do you think PRV6 engine?

the most you could get is from a new proper exhaust manifold, and thats it. Bigger exhaust on NA cars is in most parts useless. You just get a lot of sound and no go. Its only needed when the engine itself passes trough more air and gasses than stock does.

T2 is a flange type as is T3. The bolt holes are the same I think, but the exhast outlet is different.

apply throtle smoothly on the low rpm and flore it when the boost comes on. Thats it.

well, I think that over 80 year old people behind a wheel are more danger than young people.

eeehm to but in £ the first insurance for my old 115kw 740 turbo, my second car and had been driving for 1,5 years. So the price was maximum for such power. the price was £ 137.- So please someone tell me why are they robing you that much money? + we have no road tax. Welcome to Estonia..........

take an old cat, cut out the middle part, veld in a pipe instead and you got a decat pipe with connectors. Easy, done, next please
