Who can spot the mod?

single wiper conversion ?

is that the 1.7 turbo engine by the way ??

I don't know what mod is but... where did you get that exhaust manifold?

The manifold is the mod!!! It is off a spi 1.8 440. I had to replace the original 1.7 manifold as it was causing the down pipe to shear off at the flange (3 times). It is now pulling better and producing better fuel consumption

i have one of them manifolds from a renault 19 1.8 8v spi ,looks exactly the same as yours . and have the inlet manifold as well .

whats the difference between that and the original 1.7 manifold ???
i will try and get some pics of mine up

there you go ,





can i use these to get more power/torque or something?

Is it good to have rubber part so close to exhaust manifold? I'm just bit worried....

Anyway looks much better than original

Well.. by the fotos it seems a lot better than the 340 one.

Have you noticed really difference in the performances?

It's an expensive mod but we never know

Is this the one that nearly made its escape through Vickys rear window on the trip back from the Ludlow scrapyard

(We went through a pit in the car with no suspension and a manifold about 1 inch from the glass) lol

Looks Good. Just been wondering, has anyone ever put a turbo-diesel in a 340. Did Volvo ever make one?

There was a diesel 300, but not avaliable in the Uk. Was it Italy that has some? Anyway they are apparently very slow.

I believe someone here has a 300 with a diesel (nissan engine?) but it's not being used. It was mentioned a few days ago...

Yeah Pete has the 360GLT with the Nissan Turbo Diesel lump... it is possible to fit the Turbo Diesel engine out of the 400 series into the 300 series.. without toooo much trouble, be pretty pokey too!

We get 340 diesel here

Some weeks ago I almost bought one for 100 euros...

But they are veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery slow, and the engine is not very reliable.

Is the same that can be found in Renault Express 1.6D

Can that be turbo'd or 'blown'?
