Volvo fun

Slightly tuned 240 turbo. Stay with it for the last thirty seconds

Some more about the car and owner. All in Swedish, lol

Says the Engine is completely standard, just conrods and a whopping big Borg-Warner turbo, lol. It's been in the car since 2018 in various states of tune, built up as money came in. Fan and other bits and bobs standard Volvo 240. Not sure about transmission.

The guy is 19, lol, and built the whole thing himself on a shoestring

And a 245 with a Lamborghini engine This is a build video.

In English!

Nice selection of other drift/drag cars in the garage about halfway in the second video. And a trip to Dubai for parts, lol!

235 road tyres, 700+ bhp and torques

That 245 was awesome when it had a 2J in it, can't wait to see it running with the lambo engine Is his Gallardo turbo'd as well?

If I recall correctly he works in aerospace or something, and had been working in Dubai. Also had a very nice Supra which was not running standard power either surprisingly enough!

 

[svensktoppen]

Yes, it had a Supra engine before.

He's building/has built a turbo Gallardo for someone, there's another video thread of his about that.

I don't think the Volvo build will be turbo charged, he was worried about making it fit at all in the first place. Probably no room, but who knows, these guys are nuts, lol

Yep, nice and compact wee turbo Apparently the Evo boys use the same one on the fours for drag machines, lol.

It's a drift car, built to go sideways in a cloud of burnt rubber, even in a straight line, lol. No need to worry about driveability, just max power on full throttle and keep it there

Did you see the bit in the first video, passing the camera car at 80/90, fully lit up tyres in a straight line

 

[scub]

oh aye looks like a lot of fun if you've the talent to keep it on the road

What happens when you drop a "lightly fettled" T5 into a 740? Well, this happens Glorious!
