How many people assume your car is stock?

[Kalifornia087]

sweet... i bet nobody see's that coming...

What motor was in it Grand National?

Volvo didnt make a rwd turbo 6.

Used to have an 850 with lots of shit done.

well i guess it wasnt rwd, but i do kno that it was a turbo 6. cause thats what it said on the intake manifold

[boosted1jz]

i think imma put my car back to stock.... since it doesnt look like it will ever run on the 1jz anymore

No no no. Maybe you dont know much about cars. Ok you had a 740. Those are rear wheel drive. They come with a turbo 2.3 four cylinder max. So what you had if you arent lying had to be a swap.

now

what kind of swap was it is what im asking. but you dont know so nevermind.

lol^yeah i guesss you're i dont know shit about volvos....

[psychodrama_81]

i know a dude BONE STOCK LOOKS but got a built gsr in a 90 ef people assume that hes stock but hes not

[superbooost]

used to have a 1988 Volvo 740 Station Wagon, 6 Cylinder, Turbo, RWD; only thing on the car that was modded was the exhaust, piping was made bigger. Damn that shit pulled hard. Beat modded eclipses, riced out integras, slow ass civics. Looks on their faces were priceless. Seeing a station wagon fly by them and then their mouths drop open like what the fuck was that... man i miss car.

Hmm. Volvos came with 6cyls, after '88 it was a french PRV v6, similar to what can be found in the Deloreon or Eagle Premieres. Designation was the b280f at 2.8 liters, 160hp. The motor was not turbo'd, from the factory, so you probably had a turbo 2.3l 4cyl. Swapping eagle premiere heads, doing a custom manifold and turboing the engine will make some very good power, but there are very few people who have done this. One such person on the turbobricks board is John lane. His turbo'd volvo 280/premiere hybrid motor with T4 turbo makes 600whp/500wtq at around 12psi. They respond EXTREMELY well to turboing, but most people haven't the time or money for the swap. Also, after turboing the engine, nearly ever single piece of drivetrain starting at the crank, going all the way to the wheel studs (yes, i said wheel studs) shattered.

The grand national swap is another volvo swap that is somewhat common. I know of two turbobrickers that outfitted their vehicles with GN motors, one intercooled, one non-intercooled. The non-intercooled vehicle I, got to drive hands on, having around 20 hours behind the wheel of it, last year driving it from Pennsylavania to Las Vegas. It was VERY fast, had up to 120shot of nitrous and ran a 12flat on slicks. However, this was a 240 series 1982 wagon. Full of rust spots, primer and bondo, we nicknamed the car dirty sanchez. you can find the post about it somewhere on here. VERY fast.

Anyway, which one did you have? Seriously, if you had a turbo'd PRV (i'm not trying to cast doubt here), I'd love to see it. Budget permitting, I'd love to build one, as they are the holy grail of powerplants, but it is a very expensive undertaking. (JL uses a jericho 4spd, custom ford 9" rear end, roll cage etc) Anyway, post up more. I'm curious....Or do you have a 2.3? Eitehr way, they're fun sleepers. I've left many an eclipse, m3, mustang, camaro etc in the dust to onlookers with dropped jaws. Tons of fun.

Yeah thats what i was calling him out on. If he didnt know much about them then he didnt turbo the 6 and probably didnt buy a turboed 6. Probably a 740 tic.

[4dmin]

most people don't know anything about my car so they mistake it as just another dub until they see the fmic....

the best is dub people roll up on me and immediately think its a 2L not 1.8t

[man]

most people think my car is just an RX-7 turbo with exhaust and, well, it is.

Haha...well thats a lot better than what I have...but cool nontheless

[ahmonrah]

I know your pain on that one. Ported head here, lumpy cam, lots of timing and large exhaust, but people still for some reason can't understand my car is modded. I suppose its because everyone thinks volvos are granpa mobiles. Occaisionally someone will ask me what "got boost?" means. I just ignore them now.

i knew i've seen that wagon before !!!! it was fairly recently too. i looked at the sticker and was like....." i wont try it".

[1439/2000]

I had an 850 glt sedan about 3 years ago. Boosted the hell out of it. Then bought my 240sx.

well all i know is that it was turboed and it came like that lol i dont know much at all about volvos, it said i dont have the wagon anymore, but i do miss it. It could have been a 6 but not likely since what you have said. And i know its the 740 series. But i dont really know about the 6 part.... so it was just handed down to me from my 'rents...

[uproot]

three people.

[.....]

so many people think my little 4 banger has no torque, well...true. they express otherwise after a run or a race.

i guess people think it's just a convertible with a civic engine...

It has a stock v6. I mean it has a swap but its just another motor.

[JITB]

U are incorrect...

[1439/2000]

U are incorrect...

Ok so whats done to the other motor?

Aight, its official i want another car. Nothing wrong with this one. Its just time to move on. I did the swap because it wouldnt sell with the original 1.8, so i thought i would be motivated to keep going with it after the swap...but this whole car thing is just gettin boring to me. And its time to move on.

Nevermind I found it. Apparently your car has a stock probe v6 and you want to sell it. Interesting.

Ohh shit. So you're implying that its CRAZY fast I guess. I was just asking if it was an M or not. Dont care what you have done.
