@linuxman51, thanks for doing this project. I appreciate the documentation!
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
That is indeed interesting that with the increased flow from double the boost, the open downpipe makes such a minor difference. So much for getting a ton of HP out of an exhaust.
But, what about checking the valve adjustment, setting it tighter and retarding the cam 4? first? Hah! I would, but that's maybe a bit excessive at this point. Might as well, yes, just toss in an IPD Turbo cam.T cam needs to go bye-bye ASAP. That thing is a major, major chokepoint.
Wow! That?s a deal! I just wish they had space for washers behind the adjustment bolts to prevent digging into the aluminum.https://www.stsmachininginc.com/col...redblock-volvo-240-740-940-turbo-b21-b23-b230
STS gears are $100(!) right now.
An M would be an upgrade for a turbo car, but so mild that is it really worth swapping? Where as the T in an NA car makes it a ?torque monster? at lower rpm. So, for those that have an auto, or tow, or never rev past 5k rpm, it?s better. My ?87 244 auto did a 17.3 instead of a 17.6 with a T cam shimmed tight and retarded 4 degrees compared to a similarly setup M.What the people really want to know is T cam vs. M cam.
(I'm the people)
Folks on here like to talk about putting a T cam in an NA car like it's some kind of secret upgrade but looking at what my dad and I have measured for both I really can't see how the M wouldn't be a mild upgrade from the T.
Or just throw an IPD Turbo cam in there and be done with it. That would be good too.
Yes, with a B cam in a basically stock NA setup. That doesn?t mean it?s the best for every setup and cam, though.Didn't Nick mess with cam timing on the Dyno? Think he ended up with straight up making the most power

Do you have an NPR intercooler on hand for the upgrade?
If not, PM me (I have one).
I was contacted by a company to do some product testing and reviews
