B18ft

Post by volvoboy » Wed Mar 11, 2009 11:59 pm

hiya, i have a b18ft, i no there are a few differnt posts about uprating parts on these, but i am unsure still.
firstly injectors, ive read about yellow cosworth injectors, or v6 volvo injectors, are there any that are the best to go for??
also 3 bar map sensor, do they just bolt on and plug in?? will i need a super mod ecu for it to make a differnce?
and the turbo, these engines come with a t2 turbo standard? so a t25 or a t28 would be fine to upgrade too?

thanks scott

you need to match the injectors Ohm value = 15.4

the 740 has thoose 230 cc against 170 orginal b18ft

a t25 or t28 is ineed an good upgrade. next time in would buy me an gt25

Richmod can stil be done, last time i was on the dyno it gave me 161 BHP and 230 NM @ 0,7 bar.

Now i am running @ 1bar, need to go on the rollers soon again :D
Renault 5 GTT *volvo 480 turbo power*

161 BHP & 230 Nm @ 10 Psi -->Now running on 18 Psi :P

soon --> new engine in with 315cc injectors t25/28 turbo an BIGMOD :)
