Che'_Moderator Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 How much would this set up cost retail? And is your car tuned? More than new rods, pistons, and the machine work to go with it. Set up looks good. At least its direct port. I would install a WOT switch though especially the way those jets are placed.

Guest duke of cruel Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I just got finished installing a NOS Pro Shot fogger system to the wagon. Haven't had a chance to make any runs with it to see if my times changed. I am waiting on the correct jets from NOS, but I just had to post this. It came off a 454 2 stage 500hp setup. 3 words for you m8: Studs, Ignition and Plugs ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_long20 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 How much would this set up cost retail? And is your car tuned? this came off a 454 nova, the kit was originally bought in 96 for $950 plus all the plumbing. I got it from a guy at work for nothing. hes old, not ever gonna use it, and wants to see it work. I personally dont have the fundage to buy this crap Im guessing this would be about a 1200 setup If buy "tuned" you mean the ecm, I am running a 97 850R ecm Motronic 4.3 315 BHP = bent rod Directly from Volvo. Looks cool as stuff though, good job! I'll throw in $5 for the rebuild fund if you have a video if it blows up! SOLD! 3 words for you m8: Studs, Ignition and Plugs I am running NGK R5672a-8 gapped at.030, a msd street fire digital box, and I have no idea what studs your are talking bout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCviggen Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 315 BHP = bent rod Directly from Volvo. Like they'd know max 315 HP at 4500rpm maybe. At 6k you can make a hell of a lot more Torque is the destructive factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_long20 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 This was the first Volvo with Nitrous we did in 1996 565 Chevy BB, Alcohol fed, 3 stage NOS pro shot, stock suspension-brakes-wheelbase-wheel openings, 1271 blower, MT drag slick 16x33, ford 9-inch, etc... Last run in 1998 - 5.89 ET @ 124.67 MPH. Due to the stock wheelbase it is extremely hard to hold straight, making it harder to stay in it full throttle. Placed and won in several events most impressive is the Huntsville Super Chevy show - Best in show 2nd place, Best design and engineering 1st place, Beast Conversion 1st place, Don Garlits saying "Damn Nice Car". This car is not a trailer queen it does get driven to most shows, making it truly Show and GO! I just thought everyone would enjoy seeing a Really cool Volvo, I know I do. The front air dam is missing due to a wheelstand gone bad. The paint was all done on a dirt floor not in a booth, and the pinstripe is hand painted by a 90 year old man with a wagon full of paint.

EricF Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 They don't like torque period. They don't do well with torque at the shift point. The stock TD04HL choke-up-top and boost-fade-o-rama setups that everybody runs are actually really really good for the life of the transmissions. When I first installed a bigger turbo on one of these cars, my first 850, a black wagon... I'd been running 18-20 psi on a 15G that would fade to about 15 psi for over a year. Within the second month of having the bigger turbo at 20 psi (holding to redline), my shift points went up 600-700 RPM, and before the engine spun a rod bearing the car would shudder going into reverse. I wasn't making 50% more power or anything, I was just making torque at redline instead of none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
