Legends! Boost to the moon is also enjoyable while it lasts...

Out of curiosity, why not use one of the cheaper ebay turbos that doesn't have the internal wastegate?

@@jonathan7744 I'd say because external gates are expensive and more complex piping requiring more room. Internal gates are good for heaps of power also when ported correctly.

Any links for those clampless exhaust slip joints for Aus, struggling to find em.

@@RAZOR69ER Just type "exhaust slip joint" in Google mate. ecsexhaust appear to be cheaper from their own online store than on their ebay site (2.5" $18 vs $25). I'd think most performance shops or muffler shops would have them also.

energy polarizer, is that some snake oil shit?

@@SloppyMechanics look up Peter Brock energy polarizer. He's an Australian motor racing legend that headed up the performance arm of Holden, in the 80's he wanted to put crystals in the cars to make them faster or something, he got fired around that time.

@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans Have to admit, some one made a bunch off it.

@@SloppyMechanics crystals are used for a lot, lasers diodes, lenses, resonant clocks(worlds smallest clocks built in to computer chips) just to name a few important ones so it’s not that far out there

@@CorruptInfinityOfficial in all those applications the crystals are used as a component with a purpose. where as putting them in a box and screwing them to the firewall serves no purpose more like a lucky rabbit foot or a 4 leaf clover lol

Eh, nah. Those that know how to put power to these engines, those i know personally, and i know a few, are chill people. Kinda like Jamaica Sweeds. I guess you kinda have to be, going 270~285 in that brick kinda leaves other things behind.

The thing is, i am not triggered, here in Sweden there are loads of them, easy to make pretty big power. i don't understand how people don't know how to make them run good. They are the easiest engines to work on. on a 940, as long as the ignition box is fine, the wires are fine and not rotten, and you have a working coil. and no oxidation in the distributor at the back of the head(its mounted to the cam). This is very simple Bosch stuff from the 70's. If the ignition is fine, fueling is also very easy, you have a fuel box(that is separate from the ignition) if thats fine, check the wiring and injectors(usually never an issue) If the car is still not running fine, check the Narrowband (its a very basic wideband solenoid that knows rich, lean and in between)and the usual culprit: the MAF. Wanna make power? as long as the engine has compression(usually 8.5:1 on the NA, 8.0:1 for the turbo on the 900 series and later 700 series). rip all the electronics for the engine, put in a good ECU you know someone can tune. a set of injectors and a turbo that fits T3 and has an internal gate and of you go. Stock NA engines are good for 200KW if someone is good at tuning, i've seen stock b230FK reach 500HP on a engine dyno(not american hp, rest of the world hp) or about 400KW. But that is very rare and the tune is going be very wonky to not make to much torque, it kills the stock rods.

Oh and its easy to kill any engine, i've seen people kill volvos on 200 crank hp too if you dont know what you are doing.

A small flinch might have happen as a owner of many of these. One of them being a rallycar that’s stock with only a tune and a cam making 151hp at the wheel (they make 131hp at the engine from factory). And there are many turbo bricks that makes good power. But then I get what he means as well so :P

@@Zesserie in Australia, they are like a perfect storm of do not want. In a country that mostly hated imports at the time, volvos and saabs were the oddballs of the euros. Not many bothered to understand their workings, the owner were typically weirdos, parts were expensivish and took a while to get in, and at that time, injection was uncommon, finicky and weird. Alot of mechanics didnt want to know about it. So all that, combined with the reputation of being wonky dull cars, is why most guys have similar comments to Al. He knows full well what they are capable of.

Probably safer to bounce off the limiter than a 1UZ too

@@Jake_Hamlin Limiter? What's that? Mine just goes till the carb runs out of fuel somewhere around 5000rpm

@@aaronjanzen2818 i had an injected 5 litre commodore that used to do the same thing 😜😅

@@aaronjanzen2818 If you fit a good carb you just peg it until the valves float, it's like nature's rev limiter

In Canada too

yeah but in Oz it's not common obviously, being a Volvo

It's really satisfying to watch actually. Some youtubers make compilations when a build is finished, which is kinda nice.

Unfortunately it does not =(

=(

Ah did you own it,?

I always wanted to build a Zook with a rotary, that would have been a beach weapon! Shame it's gone 😥

There's like a million rotozukis around. It's a really popular swap for some reason.

*happy swedish brick noises*

Yeah Chris at PRP built it for Juzzy.

fake al!!! 🤣 LMAO He said fake OWL 🦉 as in bird that is known to scare other birds 🐦 away

@@andyplage6590 No shit...

Probably alot better than a fake owl. Got one at work cos pigeons where shitting on products at the warehouse and the f*ckers just built a nest behind it.
