I'm part of the family!

[En3rvate]

Ok I've officially been a part of the volvo owner family for about two weeks! Here she is...
1984 244 Turbo (no intercooler)

It needs a few things like an intercooler and B230 Manifold conversion, but other than that its a solid ride.
A big thanks to Jonathan for sellin the beast to me.

Beautiful...welcome O Oregon Volvo owner.

Consider yourself hooked!

 

[En3rvate]

I should also thank Tye and Jared. Without them i never would have considered driving a volvo.

 

[Stereophile33]

is that my nalegene?

hehe...or is that from the school when you took pictures....


she could use a water torture/seafoam treatment...intercooler and said manifolds....let me know if you ever need any help.

Yep interior shots are from the school, and I will definately let you know if I need help.

 

[homer1300]

nice. that's a lot like the one i just got. your interior looks a bit better actually. you should:
1. clean interior. use leather wipes on the seats, it makes them look a lot better.
2. clean engine bay
3. intercool it like you said

what are the benefits of a B230 manifold conversion?

 

[BenW]

Huge issue for me, does it run?

 

[badvlvo]

Nice starting point. I have the moulding for above the rear bumper if you need it. I'll give it to you for shipping costs.

 

[olov]

nice, a solid car

a tune up and said mods should make her come alive.....oh and more boost

what are the benefits of a B230 manifold conversion?

b21ft intake is a very poor design, b230/b23 intake is much better, and a pretty easy mod(i've done it)

 

[scarywoody]

looks nice...take good car of her

yeah that got torn off at the car wash. i learned my lesson to never go through one again. From now on i wash my own car.

That sounds good, i'll PM you later.

and once you do a b230 intake mod you can use a standard intercooler/piping from a 740/940?

 

[olov]

with minor mods from what i'm told(i didn't use a standard ic, so i couldn't)

 

[badvlvo]

The intake swap is simple and very little needs to be modified.

 

[oldschoolvolvo]

nice find!

 

[Billiam500]

Looks like a quasi-intercooler on the turbo hose. Mine doesn't have that.

It was a weird 'option'-thingy...(I know thats not helpful, but that's all I know)

Nice 244T.

and once you do a b230 intake mod you can use a standard intercooler/piping from a 740/940?

Intercooler is the same between 200 and 7/9 (until the 7/9 got the bigger IC in '92-ish), but yes the B23/230 manifold swap allows you to use the standard cold side IC piping from a 7/9.

Congrats, dude. She's a sweet lookin' ride. I'm still just kicking myself that I didn't come here first to buy my brick. Are you going to replace the seats or restore them? I'm doing a little leather restore right now in my 740, it's actually pretty fun.
