Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Not really.

All those older volvo motors can handle boost, if anything drop some new pistons and rods in it to handle the power.

Tube front end, cage, Mustang rack, narrowed Explorer axle, turbo LS, done. Get to the junkyard!

So you're thinking LS swap and turbo. I like it.

Thats the drivetrain of choice lol. Pretty much any car can be wrapped around that and its a win. It sure could be true that the little German engine will take some hell though. Easiest cheapest thing is always a carbed gen1 SBC if you're chop cut rebuilding. I don't know what that car looks like though. Last Vulva I worked on totalled after I had 44 hrs in it so meh.

gf got the car tinted for my christmas present yesterday. just snagged a gen V off ebay for less than what it'll cost me to rebuild my junk yard blower. been a good week!

installed 42 lb injectors today. and the 3.0 pulley.

something like that. minus the wheel spin, i need my tires.

no they wont, they spin like butter. and id like to keep the treads on those too lol

the snow tires may not even make it on this year. maybe if i see a huge storm coming.

Scotty now you need a Gordon Lightfoot album to play in the car so you won't crowd it too hard lol. KillaBee 3.0! I bet those injectors and the wee pulley make the midrange RPM feel juicy as hell. Hit it easy, man. Got dry roads to tune around on?

i can hear it sucking air in the intake like a blower should sound at idle now lol

i think im gonna toss the 2.8 on tomorrow for sh its and giggles.

Couldn't even buy a replacement as all the auto parts places around here closed at noon

the return line is rubber. it can split right at the pump. snip it off and re clamp it back on if thats the case.

next you'll hear crying when it blows up lol

If my memory is correct , I ran a 3.0, gen5 , North Star TB, fsic, 42s and a 3.0 on a stock cam.
It wasn't until i went to a s1x cam did my input shafts snap and the clutches not hold at 6,000 rpm

I flipped my friends dog bone bushings. His were strangely harder than mine were. Nevertheless, we got it done.

Ill just leave this here:
