480 Turbo - More Oomphh
A friend of mine has just picked up a low mileage 480 Turbo. Generally it's in good condition but its heading off for some paintwork & repairs in the usual places.
He's asking if there any upgrades available to get a bit more oomphh out of the 1.7 Turbo motor? Thanks |

Hi, the first things than u can do are a ecu mod First is Robou Mod, that tune or modify, will give u around 1 Bar Peak boost and the car become a lot faster u will go around 160/170 Cv in base of condition of the car Second options is Efi Parts Mod, this give you the chance to use a manual boost controller and decide how much pressure u want. With this mod there is a thing to say, max boost u can handle is 1 Bar, why this? Cause 480 have a small injectors, and need more bigger for go to 1.2-1.3 Bar than bigger injectors. 480 Injectors are Hight impendence like 16.9 ohm if i remember correctly. Other mods are use efi parts ecu mods and put T25/t28 turbo coming out from a saab or a 180Z, some people use T25 of Escort Cosworth with 440 injectors and give a lot of power, around 220 Cv with bigger intercooler jnjectors and turbos Engine can handle around 230/240 Cv without opend the block . For more mods or info u can search on volvo480 club forum or on google typing B18FT engine tuning or similar. i hope to have help you |
Had a couple of 480turbo's way back when - probably a bodge, but I used a bleedvalve in the turbo to wastegate pipe which was very effective - no idea how much boost it made, but the boost gauge was just about at the red, any more and it started misfiring. Car was still ultra-reliable, I was covering 35-40k a year back then (now 4-5k a year)
Made a significant improvement in the driveability of the car. How I miss my (3) 480's - missus hates them :-( |
