Volvoson Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Where did you get the turbo?Traded a dead/headless parakeet to a blind kid for it.he got it from CJ at the davis meet iirc.CJ was just listing it, he got the turbo from Bert (azinwa). It didn't have any shaft play before it went onto the car :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ünderstüdy Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 yeh im pretty sure it didnt. i mean it has like a few thousand miles on the turbo so......its just gonna be rebuilt and hopefully itll hold up. something funny is going on with the CBV though.

It is obviously not that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Have you thought about trying to sneak it through under a parts warranty? It is obviously not that old.Not on an R model car (or any car for that matter at the moment), no VIN# from the car it came from, no odometer reading to show how many miles are on it... I have trouble seeing how Volvo would do a warranty replacement/fix on it without any real background on it. Only thing it does have (hopefully) is the name plate with the serial number, maybe that's enough for Volvo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I think about it, they might have some questions about who installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmelviØØ7 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 just say you did it?So that way I will lose my job in addition to the turbo not getting fixed, I think not. I am not allowed to work on Volvos other than my own outside of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resa850 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 I'll be surprised if you make 250whp, just being honest. Don't see how the mods you have will net over 300 on a stock head/block.oh the expert spoketh.I've seen plenty of 240's make 220-230whp on kjet, smaller turbos and less mods with out issues other than being extremely fuel limited. Brians car can make 250-260whp with out to much issue I think reliably. On kito's dyno that will be pretty close to 280-290whp.There ARE 300whp redblocks with stock heads and internals on turbobricks. Its not that hard.the magical cookie (on the wonderful gal's computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
