Re: F7P turbo conversion

never seen an f7p on bodies, but loads of f7r's in the clios are on bodies, they tend to bin the 1.8 in favour of the 2.0 as theres more gains to be had, bigger valves etc.

most i've seen make on RR is 241bhp and 1/4 mile af 13.1 from an ITB'd F7R in a clio

Re: F7P turbo conversion

what about diffs? and gearboxes?clutches?

basically my engine currently puts out 270bhp and 260lb/ft and i'm about to up the power again to over 300bhp and probably 300lb/ft as well................so whats likely to blow from the volvo point of view if i bolt that lump into a 340?

Re: 340 Manual Steering Alternator Bracket

thanks for the info mate, unfortunately it seems they are like hens teeth, no one has one

is there a member on the forums who breaks a lot of volvos or carries lots of spares, a parts guru or such? theres a few on the clio forums i'm used to so hopefully similar on here?

thanks again

Ben

Re: F7P turbo conversion

are there any bolt on replacement props/gearboxes/diffs that can handle more power or is it rebuild and lots of money time?
