My fawking dream car, for real! Love this shit. Props to the guy who did this. I'm on the lookout for either this an Lexus rwd, or a 04/05 Infiniti M45 for an LS swap candidate. :)
This thing is sweet! Was that locked or unlocked? Hows the pt88? is it laggy I thought I detected some laggyness but that could just be a tight converter. Awesome power!
Just finishing my 1994 940 with a 5.3 turbo. Was originally going with a T5, but now we are thinking auto. What transmission are you guys running? cheers
not really, he has something small on LS1 tech forced induction section but he said he slammed it together without much documentation because he just wanted to get it out on the road.
Matt, can you put me in touch with Rich? I wanna ask him a few questions about how he did the brakes on the rear of the Volvo. I did the same thing but i'm in a predicament with the stock caliper location hitting the rear springs.
Rich Halsey that's exactly what I did and chopped the junk off. It took 10 minutes total time once I figured it out. I was sweating because I thought I had to build custom ones.
That exhaust dump thru the muffler with the stock tailpipe hanging out wins the 2017 "You're doing it right" sleeper award :)
That exhaust... that's amazing...
Nice, has a really mean idle for a turbo car, I like it.
ok, that fake exhuast pipe is absolutely fucking awesome. total sleeper.
That is my dream set up! What a beautiful sleeper! You guys do solid work!
Cool Car!!! The exhaust exit/tailpipe cracked me up!
Love the tail pipe lol
agreed, it's perfect
Thats a beauty real nice build love that wagon👍👍👌
I'm in love.
Best muffler I've seen.
That thing is perfect ! That wsgon is going to hurt a lot of feelings ! God I love a wagon .
Sounds nasty. Love the sneaky street camo exhaust.
This exactly what I'm building. I have a GT45 though and I won't be anywhere close to looking like a sleeper. Hahah
love the exhaust

Very slick exhaust ! haha!! Thats what you call getting the kids home before the ice cream melts ! LOL
That. I'm in love
wonder how much power it would make with a 92mm TB
i would bet money not more than it makes right now, just have low speed drivability issues lol
***** low speed issues really?
How did the factory get away with 90mm units on the LS7/LS9?
bigger motor, smaller camshaft
Big thumbs up!

locked and flooring it at like 2500, the pt88 seems a little lazy yeah, but yeah most of it is the converter being locked and stabbing it so low
Videos on the street?
all it needs are some crappy silver plastic hubcaps and it'd be the slickest sleeper.
What transmission is this thing running?
80e

You know this car has hurt some feelings on the street.
Is there like a build thread or something? custom motor mounts? anywhere where there are some tips on stuffing one of these motors in this thing?

I can't blame him. Thanks for the feedback.
showing Volvo how to turbo their own shit!

You have to flip the backing plates from side to side. Puts the caliper at 10 o'clock instead of 2

What kind of fuel management systems are most of the builds using? I was looking in to the megasquirt for my turborado(silverado) build.
this is using a stock 2000 silverado ECU
Do you know if he chopped one side of the 8.8 and did a short axle? You have to do that in 240's but I hear you don't in 7/9's.
he did cut it down, twin short axles
Thanks man. I didn't want to do that but I guess I'll have to.
you said it has pistons and rods in it. Aftermarket or the newer stock ones?
Aftermarket
What heads would you recommend to use I wanted to use my stock 243 off my tbss but I'm not sure about it
homemade motor mounts im assuming?
is there any benefits to running a ls6 Intake over stock truck one
more hood clearence
How much boost when it made 700?
20lbs
Make it have 745HP then it's the same as the model name.
What kind of fuel is it running on? E85?
Standard pump.
correct standard pumpgas and methanol injection
which cam is in it?
ljms st2
I take it those ljms cams are better than those ls9 cams that alot of people recommend right?
correct
I would daily tf out of this
dat exhaust...
