calvintibia001 So I haven't got the car yet, if people are on volvo Enthusiasts Australia Facebook page, people may have seen it. Will be heading to suss out the car on Friday. If I get enough response, I will be getting it and part it.
Ex850R Why part it? Its worth more if it runs and can be regoed or has rego..... 850 parts do not sell. Is anything wrong with it? Looks good!! I say keep it , drive it , put on that big turbo you have with injectors , get an ARD tune for $400 odd and have a ball in them thar hills brother! You will either sell the redblock or use the 850 as your weapon.... I have a gas injected turbo and gear incl a T5 ECU if you want good octane.... You really got to drive a fast T5 850 to see , they are great. Keep it , more fun to be had than the 940 , by far.
Ex850R Vee_Que;23445 wrotePut the motor into your 940! This. Easy power! Should be OK in SA as you don't seem to have rules like we do!
calvintibia001 Well, if the motor doesn't have 300,000ks on it and not blown, I might give it a thought, but nope.
calvintibia001 If only volvo did a 20v for a Redblock lol and which Turbo are you referring to, I got a couple laying around both in Aus and in HK : P
Spac According to FB, it's got no compression. This usually means it's been overheated and the rings have collapsed.
egads Tiny chance that it has lawnmower syndrome (started a couple times in a row for very short periods and cold start fuel load has washed out cylinders). If it is that it is a bloody easy fix.
Ex850R Can have my motor for similar cost , don't bother with dummy , stick my 160K 20 valve in it with ANY of your turbo's and an ARD tune or use my T5 gas inject turbo and ECU for gas octane goodness!?
calvintibia001 Tbh, a Redblock to whiteblock conversion never really caught on me, coz I just want 175rwkw out of the Redblock, anymore I will be going the route of 1JZ/2JZ, and there is mounting kit for 1JZ/2JZs
