Hi all!,
I'm Roger and from the UK, I also created a thread on volvoforums.org.uk pretty much the same as I am posting here but I thought I should introduce myself and ask you guys too.
I'm new here but always had a love for Volvos, I have just recently bought a 1998 Volvo 940 Wagon LPT (B230FK), I am presuming it has the m90 box with the revised 3rd gear syncro but I am not sure until I get a better look.
I thought I should come here and ask for advice with the direction I am heading with this Volvo, I am aiming for big power and would be good to get some info on recommended setups and items I will need for the build.
The aim is for 500-600bhp so the engine will be getting pulled out and forged rods and pistons with ported 530 head and double valve springs.
Any advice on if I should go aftermarket intake plenum would be helpful, and if anyone knows of a reasonable priced exhaust manifold with T3 fitment would be appreciated as I am struggling a bit to find a selection of exhaust manifolds.
I already have a Link G4 extreme ecu for using on the car so that side is sorted so far.
I will leave it there for now but if anyone has experience or a nice recipe I should aim for and just any helpful information would be much appreciated!.
EDIT: I forgot to say I know about reinforcing the rear frame to prevent twisting and also any information on a good clutch setup will be brill', so far I think it will be a twin plate setup but if anyone has better information that will be a big thumbs up.
Cheers
