Hello guys!
So i want to ask for advices or if anybody has any experience with this type of build I am eager to hear about it.
This summer Im looking forward to purchase some kind of a Volvo 240 but I have no specific ideas about the production year, engine etc. because it really depends on what I can find on the markets in my country or in Europe. However there is a 1986 240 with a US market b230f engine and if im lucky enough I am going to give it a try. But back to the topic, the only sure thing is that I can only have a car equipped with NA engine due to my budget. So I wanted to install some kind of forced induction to tune it up a bit. I dont want to produce crazy HPs or to be an overkill build. That?s why I?m thinking about superchargers because I read that it might be easier to install, produceses less heat and so on and to be honest it will be the only supercharged 240 in my country so its kinda cool. I know your thinking about why I wouldn?t go for a factory turbo one and the reason is the cheapest i could find is 7500? and it is not really roadworthy. So I would like to know your thoughts about it. Is there any possible way to do this or is it totally forbidden? And if it is possible what would be the suitable engines, what parts should i go for?
I plan to use this car mostly cruising and having a bot of fun with it. My HP goal is somewhere between 150-200 if it?s possible.
Sorry if this article is covered already.
Thanks for your help, greetings from Hungary!
