How is this car running now? Did the block hold up? I have a 93 Volvo 940 wagon that uses the Regina system like yours and everyone is telling me that I cannot turbo it with this ignition system. So I’m just curious on how yours held up overtime. Thanks
I sold the car 3 years ago. Had no problems during the 3-4 years I drove it turbo'ed. Not sure what the next owner did. I always had just 0,3-0,4 bar boost (or like 4,5-5,5 psi) so it wouldn't knock. Sorry for replying after 4 years. :D
Did you only add the turbo, manifold and fpr? If so, what did you do for fuel management? I'm working on a Regina+T setup on my 940, and would love to see more of your setup. Nice work!
Hi! :) Yes, turbo, manifold, injectors and fpr. FPR changes the pressure according to vacuum/boost in the manifold, i think it has a multiplier too. Goes to 6 or 7 bar now at full boost (0,4bar). Injectors are from opel/vauxhall, rated 250cc/min at 3bar, plug n play fitment into the stock manifold / injector rail. Downpipe also from turbo 940 I think. Oil for the turbo comes from the front of the block and return oil goes into the oil pan. The stock air filter box doesnt fit on the turbo side because of the battery placement of n/a model. So i just added a cone filter over the battery with the regina intake hoses. Good luck with the project. Ask more if needed. EDIT: Intercooler also from 940.
@@jessvalk Thanks for the reply! That FPR setup is actually really smart. What are your AFRs looking like at idle and at full throttle? Also, how do you like the VX3 in a turbo setup? Just ordered one from IPD a few days ago, and I've heard mixed reviews. Will be making some junkyard runs for +T parts soon.
Yeah its pretty good way to use the N/A ecu. I have plans on installing a megasquirt engine management and bigger injectors and run it with ethanol for higher compression tolerance. With the N/A compression ratio and turbo, the engine begins to knock at higher rpms and with boost / under load. About 0,5bar is too much when I run with 98 octane gasoline. Running safe 0,4bar now. Dont have any cam references with turbo. I've heard its better than the T cam tho. More lift and duration overall. As for the AFR, no idea. :P I bought a faulty wideband lambda a while ago and havent gotten into fixing it. Will do that with the megasquirt. Probably ran a bit lean before I got the FPR, drove quite safely, low boost and not very long time. With this current setup i've driven 15-20 thousand km. Planning on changing all the seals of the engine soon, also inspect the cam and I guess i'll see if theres any damage on the piston heads. :) @@clearegtower9468
@@jessvalk Sounds good. One other thing I was gonna ask is what did you do with the IAT sensor? I saw a post on Turbobricks where a guy was running 850 orange top injectors (310cc/min at 3bar) with a 3 bar FPR. Said AFRs looked good at stock boost levels. Probably gonna throw the turbo, FPR and injectors on it and keep the boost low until I go standalone. Let me know how the MS works out for you. Seems like there's not a lot of info on converting a Regina car. I'd like to see some videos of the upcoming projects if you have the time. :)
@@clearegtower9468 IAT sensor is hanging in free air in the engine compartment on driver's side. :P I tried 300cc injectors too, altho with the boost adjusted fpr. It ran very rich at idle and on highway speeds with very little throttle, engine coughing and rough starts. Couldnt adjust it well enough. Will definitely do an update video. Might be a long time tho. Hopefully next summer.

Happy to see the Volvo up and running this well :)
Wow the graphics in My Summer Car got really really good!
Well, this is the much more expensive version of it. :
