Looking for any and all documentation & information about production line biult 2 series turbos world wide up until 1984.
Volvo factory production line built 2 series turbo's up to 1984
Trying to help out new category of Australian racing called Group ND.
These will include the very early volvo turbo models.
They are currently writing up the technical data for the volvos and group ND .
Many thanks to those who contributed the the 240 turbo thread but we now need to separate into specifics for the production line built 2 series turbos available world wide , this include the USA , UK and Europe plus any where else .
It's known the USA had 500 Group A replica 242 turbos , but these are believed to be factory kits installed after the production line.
The USA also had production line built turbos .
Many thanks to Anthony for his research on the kitted Australian 2 series turbos and the articles found.
See Facebook for the Group ND and Group ND Volvo specific sites.
242GT It's known the USA had 500 Group A replica 242 turbos , but these are believed to be factory kits installed after the production line.
The 500 (actually 503) cars brought to the US (and inspected by the FISA dudes) were the sporting evolution models, not replicas. The controversy about them was how they were not sold to the public with all of the evolution parts fitted to the cars; they never would have passed US smog laws in 'evo' spec.
Mark and Bjorn, we're all eagerly awaiting your book…..
242GT Looking for any and all documentation & information about production line biult 2 series turbos world wide up until 1984.
Start here - TP30309 - "New Car Features 1981 - US and Canada" - which can be found in the Oz Volvo Technical Archive.
Here's a titillating preview:
This one is USA - Canada market specific; there's another version of this Green Book for Europe/ rest of world, but so far I've only found the Swedish language version.
This is the 240 engine list from TP30176/6 ("Specifications 240 1975-1985") for Europe and the rest of the world (meaning NOT US and Canada) for the period of YM 1975 to YM 1985. (There's another book AFAIK for USA / Canada).
Note this is from the Swedish language version of the Green Book.
