OGDKen Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I will add pictures soon. Picked it up for a great price because I believe it will need a head gasket. Interior is super clean and original. Has some scratches in the paint. Black with charcoal interior. But, since I will be tearing it down, and I want to put around 300HP to the wheels.... How do I get there? Is the drive line tuff enough for 300 hp if stock but in good condition? I live near the "Twin Cities" in MN. Any good shops or clubs in the area? I have wanted a volvo wagon sleeper for some time. I owned a 1990 740T and loved it. I am a brick fan. But a quick turbo wagon. Come on... That is a sleeper lovers dream!!!! I am sure at some point I will want more than 300hp but I think I will have to build the driveline first. So lets start at 300hp.... Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I am very mechanical and can do any work myself, except for tuning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConorV70R Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 if you're tearing it down i would shim the block while your in there. you're going to need a bigger turbo than the 16t that it has now. i'd go with a k24 off of a 2004+ R. then you'll need a downpipe, intercooler, intake pipe and a good tune. drive line should be able to hold that. i'd change out the angle gear fluid and transmission fluid as well.
