Hi all,

I am currenting building a Volvo 340 2 door with a 1.7 turbo engine from Volvo 480 ( was an auto)

Ive been searching all over but can't seem to find what i need to do the conversion. The car is currently a 1.4 but I do have a 1.7 for spares.

Do I need to swap sumps over from my standard 1.7 engine to turbo engine?
Use 1.7 bellhousing and what flywheel do I need?
Can I use standard 1.4 engine mounts/front brace bar?

Many thanks,
Brian.

Can I use standard 1.4 engine mounts/front brace bar? if a later 1.4 yes if early then you will need the one from teh 1.7

Many thanks,
Brian.

Thank you for replying, My Volvo is on F reg which makes it one of later ones. Can I use the mounts off 1.4 engine for turbo engine as I cant seem to see how it lines up somehow.

Thanks,
Brian.

It will probably look weird lining up the mounts as the turbo engine is from a FWD car and yours is RWD

The mounts are the same but you need the 1.7 brackets

Thought as much, thank you for your help.

Finally got around to do the clutch layout, Which turbo flywheel do I need as Ive been told theres two types? also do I need a pilot bearing?

Is there any for sale?

Thanks.

Sourced a flywheel. Do I need to use standard 1.7 340 clutch or 480 clutch aswell?

Thanks.

1.7 friction plate and bearings, Turbo cover
