haha true, i started with Volvo when i was 19. now 32. had 2 v40's classic, an s60r and now a v70r classic. got a 480 project and now looking at a 740 turbo 2.0 16V :-D
I have a 1990 945 with B230FT engine. Stock boost was 4-5psi, went up to 9 and made a huge difference. Running 12 is sort of the max you should go because you'll put a lot more pressure on all the engine components and kill the car in the long run if you do 14. My car started using a lot more oil after raising the boost and the coolent levels are always dropping. But on the plus side it made the car go from 8.5-9sec to 60mph to 7sec flat which is great :)
In sweden we take old Saab turbo red turbo injectors and take away the resistens for the injectors to get more fuel to keep up with the higher boost. Chep mod👍🏻💸
I enjoy my wagon so much. Its getting colder this time of year so i set it at 12psi because i want my motor to last and always run shell vpower and rotella T. Ya Vovlo!
So, I’ve got a 2.0t 940 and she goes well, I seen this bought a boost controller started at 0 and worked my way up to about 6 clicks, I don’t have a boost gauge but in guessing the fuel cut out hits at 14psi? Anyway it’s fast as shit of shovel and my radiator exploded, it expanded out and looks to be cut on the lower support bar, so I beat it back into shape and patched the hole and hold water a treat but wondering why it built up so much pressure? Kinda thinking might be the pressure cap stuck but also my cooling fan doesn’t come on but doesn’t display as over heating, any ideas? Thanks Robbo
bruh been watching for about 6 monthes im from ontario, putting togather an 88 740 wagon, thanks for all the inspiration sir, keeps me wrenching till that bitch hits the road in the summer! Cheers
Do you know much about the newer volvos? I have the 04 S40, and I've heard that you can't sneak in a few extra psi on them, because they don't respond well without a tune. Do you know if this has any truth behind it? I know a lot of cars can benefit from the extra, without a tune. I don't know why my model specifically wouldn't.
Yes Peter, but it's still boost! Only a new chip for more gasoline, running on high octane only. Still going strong, but its snow in Norway so i rarely hit 22 psi because #nogrip
Snow gone now so here comes the final verdict; blew the head gasket which further led to broken water pump and radiator. fun while it lasted, had wheelspin on both tires in 3rd gear on dry tarmac! took a few nights to fix it but still a cheap fix :D
87 octane?! Never even heard of that value! In sweden 95 and 98 are available at every single station, and 95 is the lowest you can get. 99 available at some stations. Whyyyy??
Yeah the octaes are calculated differently in Europe versus the place this drift guy lives. I think they are roughly the same octane values, just different numbers :p
what is it with North America and your low octane gas, considering you like the climate where you're at or not move to northern Sweden. 1st we have 98octane and 95octane on pump can't get anything less, 2nd and most importantly very cheap old volvos and parts :D
You'll get more stable boost. I've used plenty of boost controllers myself back in the days but i'd take an adjustable anyday a week. But if you feel like changing all the time from day to day i'd get a boost controller. It's a cheap mod ofc.
You make me want to get a Volvo so badly!
Matthew Heal do it, you won't regret it
Volvo is love, Volvo is life
Matthew Heal Do it. Best thing ever! I'm on my 4th Volvo! Love my C30 Rdesign polestar tuned

14 psi boost makes 8 psi look like nothing lol
needed that. dippin’ back in the past
honestly i like u so much :D and ur channel with all of those "bricks" fucking rock, mad props from poland
Ba rt thanks bro !
In sweden we take old Saab turbo red turbo injectors and take away the resistens for the injectors to get more fuel to keep up with the higher boost. Chep mod👍🏻💸
The ones from the T5 engine from saab is about 15-20cc more which isn't much of an upgrade to be honest.
First 3 gears seem to rip much better with double the boost!
I'm getting a boost controller and gage tomorrow. Can't wait
makes me miss my 850 turbo brick 😕 now I have a M56 850 wagon. good vids man 👍
trey850 _ I really want to get a 240 Wagon in my life
I enjoy my wagon so much. Its getting colder this time of year so i set it at 12psi because i want my motor to last and always run shell vpower and rotella T. Ya Vovlo!
When did you increase the boost, did you also increase the fuel?
So, I’ve got a 2.0t 940 and she goes well, I seen this bought a boost controller started at 0 and worked my way up to about 6 clicks, I don’t have a boost gauge but in guessing the fuel cut out hits at 14psi?

Also the turbo gauge on the dash doesn’t go off the chart or anything stays within its working limit

cheers to hard volvo nippels 🍻
You shift so funny haha
offixial_tim ahah I kindof do eh , super exaggerated
are any snow drifting coming? :)
b230FK 130hk b230FT 164hk b230ET 182hk what turbo engine do u have?
That is dope.
Hey, does it work with my automatic gearbox?

Got a modified 240 turbo, great engines.
superior quality content!
you dont have more octane than 94 in us? in sweden our best is 98
european countries label octane differently than us. our highest octane is tecnically e85 which i believe in our system is about 100-110 rating.
Sweden power 😍
Nice cant wait for the 240
Currently running 22-23 psi on my 940'fk, everything stock except boost! :-D
Pan Olsen that's not gonna last very long , do you atleast have bigger injectors ?
the 13c turbo is in the bottle in 14,5psi after that it just warm air.
Yes Peter, but it's still boost! Only a new chip for more gasoline, running on high octane only. Still going strong, but its snow in Norway so i rarely hit 22 psi because #nogrip
Pan Olsen bye bye clutch :)
Snow gone now so here comes the final verdict; blew the head gasket which further led to broken water pump and radiator. fun while it lasted, had wheelspin on both tires in 3rd gear on dry tarmac! took a few nights to fix it but still a cheap fix :D
I've got these exact wheels and im trying to fit them to my 740 please tell me you remember the adapters that make these fit 🤣
Oml what are those wheels, ive been hunting through comments
@@mrjawabrown1364 the are eagle alloys series 028 🤌🏼
what steering wheel is that ?
is this an early redblock with the thinner connecting rods?
Idiot Collective that is correct
what kind of boost controller did you install?
Silky Slim turbosmart manual boost controller
so are you still using your stock map sensor?
that dude air mass meter. no map.
only 87 to 94 octane?? here in Sweden the standard octane is 95-98.
Anton Westerlund European octane ratings are different . 94 here is the same as 98 over there !
4 or 5 ?
You only expect 30hp out of 7psi?? Yikes
leaning out?
87 octane?! Never even heard of that value! In sweden 95 and 98 are available at every single station, and 95 is the lowest you can get. 99 available at some stations. Whyyyy??
In hindsight, apparently octanes are calculated differently in the Americas vs EU.
Yeah the octaes are calculated differently in Europe versus the place this drift guy lives. I think they are roughly the same octane values, just different numbers :p
the "drift" guy is canadian i do believe sir, i think hes from bc
where i buy a boost controller?
on the internet
Dont boost if your engine isnt up to par on its maintenance.
it's a volvo, it's fine
+kaffemachine oh yeah true the red block engines are pretty cheap at least.
kaffemachine 1998 volvo wagons
Its weird that 91 octane is high for you guys, its the lowest you can get here in Australia :s
Jamie Field the ratings are different over there , you guys go by RON . 91RON is similar to 87 octane
what is it with North America and your low octane gas, considering you like the climate where you're at or not move to northern Sweden.
1st we have 98octane and 95octane on pump can't get anything less, 2nd and most importantly very cheap old volvos and parts :D
Eric Timan its just rated differently but its the same gas you guys get lol
installation video!!
so what are the time differences from 0-60? looks roughly the same to me
Josh Briggs I'd say it cut off half a second .
Better to get an adjustable wastegate then to use Boost controllers.
Wictor I've never had a problem using manual boost controllers , alot easier to adjust boost compared to an adjustable waste gate
You'll get more stable boost. I've used plenty of boost controllers myself back in the days but i'd take an adjustable anyday a week. But if you feel like changing all the time from day to day i'd get a boost controller. It's a cheap mod ofc.
Wictor yea you're right , it would help with boost spike , I like the boost controller because its cheap haha!
Yeah keep up with the great vids man! Big fan of you here from sweden got a 945 B230FK myself. Cheers
87 octane? never seen that before xd
its like 98 in Europe :)
Haha no way is that Chilliwack
What kind of steeringwheel is that?
it's called "epa ratt"
