Hi there.

I am doing my crazy project, and it comes true.

Details about project car:

Volvo 360
1987 mod
Engine B230FT engine (+ tuning)
Tarox brake discs in front + pads
3" exchaust simmons
Progressive fuel pressure regulator
S60 fuel injector
Improved fuel chip
Racing excaust manifold
Larger Turbo
Spax lowering springs
Monroe and Liptech gas shocks
Superflex bushings
Enlarged Intercooler


My goal:

300++ hp
40mm lowered car
200 km\h
Haltech or Megasquirt fuel managment
1,5 - 2 bar Turbo pressure
16 valve Convertment

Does anyone have some points of view about my project?
anything that can be improved or something?

i will post pictures off the project as it comes along.

My point of view is




Sounds awesome.

Build it!

Remember: The std. gearbox will handle about 300 bhp. So that could get a weak link. But hey...From 110 bhp to 300, is a long way...Just start building! And show us your pics!

the project is in good progress already.

this is all thats left to do.

attach turbo to the excaust.
chip the ecu
replace the fuel injectors
get the electric radiator fan
fix a better diff for the car(is 240 diff an option?)


some extra details has been added to the car aswell.

racing seats "red"
5 point camlock seat harness
general upgrade of the interior.
Momo steering wheel
17" Ohz rims


are gonna take the project out for a spin next week.


any improvements is always of interest, please share the info.

Hi again guys.

Glad u like my project.


I installed the rest of the missing pieces yesterday, so i am gonna try starting up today.

I will take some more pictures and post for you soon.

lets say the space in the engine room is WERY limitided at the moment, i was hopeing for more space so i could do a 16v convertment.

besides that, is everything going nicely along with the build.

this forum has saved me alot of work, and given me many nice ideas.

i build cars as a hobby and got freinds that is offical volvo mechanics so this has been really easy.

Hi there

I got good news, the car is up and runnin.

The result is Awesome, the HP number is 205 at the moment.

I need to get the car certified for the Norwegian authorites.

But when that is done i will install the S60 fuel injectors and stage 3 chip.

i will take some new pictures and a video and post this for you to see the result.

hope this will inspire more people to do something similar.

Look forward to more pics, good numbers for a start too. What boost pressure was that at? It looks like a custom manifold too?

video (or audio!) of the car runnng please!!!!!

well, now the pics are here for your interest.

Racing seats and 5 point camlock:


Custom manifold:


Hot turbo after test drive:



some tech details so far.

Turbo pressure: 1,2 bar
Fuel pressure: 3,5 bar
Fuel chip: Stage 2
Beating horse power: 205 ++

i have ordered a Stage 3 chip, the S60 fuel injectors will be installed and the turbo pressure increased to 1,5-1,7 bar and fuel pressure increased to 4 - 4,5 bar.
The horse power then will increase to 280-300 hp.

hope this cures your curiosity.

i will post a video of the car and me in action, i just need to make one first
