Volvo 480 Club Europe

i know thers many threads on turbo conversions from T2's to T25 & 3's but just a simple question really, has anyone ever fitted the TD04 turbo from a subaru impreza? also apart from the obvious problems such as remapping, fabrication ect would such a swap require uprated injectors and engine interna...

thanks for the suggestion and no the chasis & suspension hasnt been altered in any way

was wondering if anyone can help me? ive got a 480 turbo which is currently being used occasionally for drag racing, its currently running good low 16's with the occasional bad run like a low 17, but as ive fitted water/methanol injection, a strate rear pipe and a boost controller the extra power is...

no problem, its located at the front of the inlet manifold, just before the throttle body (after the air filter), i hope this pic helps -

for me personally i did it to get cooling air to the intercooler radiator etc, as the car is currently only being used for drag racing and tends to get quite hot!

just thort id post up the progress ive made of my edvardsson-racing nose cone replica, its a bit of a marmitte mod but i like it, ive also still got the original nose cone spare in case i change my mind. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr352/retroteen08/volvogrill2.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com...

ive got it set to 6psi at the moment, its got a boost controller so the main reason was too reduce the chance of dettonation, it'll also hopefully cool down the intake temps. I did think about the air filter, but altho u cant see it in the photos it does hav a cold air feed goin to it, and plus i fi...

Today me and my mate daz installed a devilsown kit on my turbo, ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DEVILS-WATER-INJECTION-KIT-TURBO-ERL-AQUAMIST-SUPRA-EVO-/140497967489?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20b654d981#ht_3127wt_1139 ) considering were both just 16yrs old it was surprisingly easy to fit...

haha, is the other 480's nose cone for sale? or are you using it to replace the one you stood on? lol

cheers, tom

firstly heres a vid of the exhaust i took, the reason for the large amount of smoke is probably becuase it was a very cold day today! and most if it was probably condensation as alot of water comes out the tail pipe at one point! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g63Zt43O7fY and heres the pictures of...

just thought id update this thread with a few pictures i took lately,heres the boost guage which i managed to wire to a cigarette lighter 12v plug-in and the boost piping was run through a volvo 440 clock i bought which is identical to the 480's- http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr352/retroteen08/...

i also considered doing that, but theres just so little space it would be difficcult to find one that would fit well. I will post up videos of the sound as soon as posible, probably saturday night. cheers for the comment, any welcome.

This is my cars latest upgrade, its an exhaust for the 480 Turbo that removes the rear silencer and replaces it with a simple straight through piece of 2" diametre A2 grade stainless steel. It fits straight into the place left by the previous silencer by using one of the previous hanger positions on...
