b234 turbo 120 volvo

Post by **smithy** » 02 Dec 2006 08:03 am

I know this has nothing to do with 360's but i saw web sight with a 120 volvo with a b234 turbo in it. It was a sight with just photos. I can't find it. Has anyone seen it and can tell me the address. Thanks.

There have been a number of amazons with the B23 turbo engines in. The only place I can think of seeing a B234 turbo was a chap on T bricks.

The other interesting one is the amazon thats on the Volvo owners club site with a 960 strait six engine. And to top it off a turbo strapped on

Thats the one

There's a full review of that car in this Swedish magazine called "Bilsport." It's amazing how much modifications the car's body has, even though at first look it seems quite stockish. I think there's not a single part which hasn't been customized.

There are lots of nice trick mods on the car.

The 6 pot is right for the car but I personly like to keep the B20 fitted.
I hove lots of plans for things I would like to do to amazons but dont have the time or funds to do.

Fair play to the guy he has done an amazing job with that car.

I think I remember reading a N/A B20 on turbobricks producing around ~250bhp

Post by **Fuse** » 03 Dec 2006 07:46 pm

Yeah that's Lindqvist Racing's B20. It was dynoed 262hp from the crank and 230hp from the wheels.

It has raised intake ports, 2.5l displacement, roller rockers etc.. etc.. Very nice engineering.

For some strange reason the so call volvo specialist struggle to get 200bhp from a n/a B20 engine

One of my project engines is going to be a B20 bored to 2.2 with low pressure turbo. That engine will be going in my modded P1800 when the rebuild is completed.

Sounds great! I've always liked B20's.. It's an underrated engine imho. Too many people nowadays are swapping OHC redblocks in place of the B20's in Amazons, P1800s 140s etc.. even though most people wouldn't have any need to swap the OHC engine in place, because most of people who are doing the swaps, are not going to make anywhere near as much power as max cababilities of B20 would be..

B20 power!

There's a very nice 240 roadsport with B20. Text in Finnish though, but there are pics.

I like the 142. That would be fun in this coutry as no one expects a old volvo to be so quick. I asume the back wheels have been banded.

The 240 is wow

propper dribble material.

Do you know where I can get those roller tip rockers from? I have been thinking about getting soem made for a long time but one offs would be very expensive.

I think KG-Trimning in Sweden sells those. They have catalog in PDF form, but it's in Swedish. Though I would guess if you send email to them in english they can give more specs and info about their products.

Swedish catalog: http://www.kgtrimning.com/KGTRIMNING162005web.pdf

Roller rockers (Rullvippor) are on the page 30. Vänster means left and höger means right. Price seems to be 575 SEK a piece which is about £42 a piece. It also reads there that those are built to use with their reinforced rocker shafts NV-441 for B18/B20 and NV-442 for B30.

They have LOADS of other cool stuff too.

I'd never noticed them in there catalog before. They will be on my shopping list for the engine build
