Volvo 480 Club Europe

After seeing several R5 GTT with side exit exhausts. I thought I will have some of that action too! I am going to cut the exhaust where the pipe comes closest to the sill, it is an L-shape so the pipe will sit just in front of the passenger rear wheel. I have seen a few cars running bike cans, and a...

even so twin turbo 480 is a bit of a non-starter. Either keep the T2 and be happy or get a T25/28/3 and just except its gonna be a bit laggy

EDIT: unless your Rich, then you get a T3 and a supercharger.

As far as I understand you do loss top end power. Hence why big power supra's and skyline's use a single turbo.

Plus the 480 has quite a tight engine bay, and as Brasco said the T2 is small turbocharger anyway. Bit pointless me thinks?

something like this?: http://i10.ebayimg.com/02/i/08/30/99/0c_12.JPG Mmmmm Compomotives nice! There a bit more Rally Slag (than the euro style turbos), but they are sweet wheels. They look good in Blue with white decals! I have to say the side skirts of that 480 look phat. i love those ronals, some...

Sorry but the Fox EVO 3 are rank IMO they look cheap and nasty. Like steve said Super T's are they way forward :D Again i am probably gunna get some weird reactions, but i really like..... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/robin_xr4i/ronal_r10.jpg .....Ronal R10 Turbos.

Is it necessary on a 480 turbo

what is a air fuel controller? do you mean the ECU? MAF?

The size of the turbo and the way it drifts, OHHHHHHHHHH I WANT ONE TOO!

Nitros injection anyone? As with all 480 lumps they are tough as old boots, run a good shot of laughing gas might be a good idea? Other than that there is no real off the shelf stuff :( porting the head might be a good bet, performance cams pretty much dont exist (although a re-grind by an experienc...

Look phat amazing what a good polish does (thank god you get rid of the "volvo" sunstrip)

All it needs now is a 40mm drop and rich mod!

Now that is a nice car, canis look ace!

For the lip alone its got to be the Borbet A's they look awesome, proper euro!

I prefer Cetus its a less fussy design

.....anyway everyone know that Taurus wheels are the best!

.....I have decided to scrap the car as there are lots of little niggles I discovered on the way home

Sorry to paraphrase, but I love the way the paragragh starts off so positive and end so brutally!

Anyway I bet the leather in the turbo will be awesome, good work

best thingy since sliced bread!

Your right Brasco.

One is faster, more reliable, does more mpg and has great customer feedback.

The other is a car.

Going mad the rattling is so bad now! :cryhard: Tell me about it!!! My dash rattles, my steering wheel squeeks and my clutch squishes!!! It's like a kids activity toy!!! My exhaust was hung by a monkey and smacks the bottom on the car when i go over bumps, since I lowered the car its like 100000 ti...

I broke my front gearbox mount the other day by driving super fast in 1st gear at full lock.The whole engine has fallen over sideways about 10 degrees. The car is just driveable (no reverse gear tho!) Bloody hell that must have taken some doing! As for getting the one off your spare car. As long as...

Shit! Bad luck mate hope you get it fixed without draining you of all spare cash. I don't really no anything about how to fix it though. I am only 2 spanner certified by Haynes...This is definate 3/4 spanner certified! You should put that on your C.V........ "I am also a 2 spanner certified haynes m...

Mines as a 92 and it's got the older clock face...

The new style looks nice, but not nice enough to change it
