Hey , I've been around the Volvo tuning scene for a while now , especially 940 turbos , frequented turbobricks and the like , i don't often post here but thought I would just drop a quick post maybe in the idea of helping our uk performance 940s .

Here is mine :


And here is the spec :

That's : 305.9 bhp 334.1lb/ft

Plans are already afoot for next years engine to brake the 400 mark .

Is that the doofer attached to the inlet manifold? What is the other end fixed to?

Inlet is drilled and tapped for m10 , other end is attached to the strut brace .

i like the strut brace(s) , where did you get them from? Nice numbers too.

Thanks , and I made it myself , there is also a Volvo under chassis brace doubled up and extended forward to the crossmember for extra rigidity , chassis also has bilstien b8's , rose jointed drop links , double rear arb ,5 mm spacers all round and 3 deg camber by re drilling top mounts .

How easy and effective was your wasted spark ? I've already added it to the 'to do ' list

I gave a link in my project thread. It's pretty straight forward. You need to keep the ignition amplifier intact and tap into the 12v wire to it and run it to the 960 ignition amplifier. I used a punto coilpack. You get a lot better spark as there's no gaps to jump or moving parts. I've had no issues at all with it. If you fancy making me another strut bar I'd nip down east and pick it up
Once I get a t31 actuator in mine it should have similar power to yours. Was the 15g running a bit hot at 27psi?!

That's the old spec , of my old car , see original post for new spec I'm using a 18t now but yeah it does get a bit hot , it's got a big intercooler with meth spay to cool , I need to monitor temps ASAP

I'd be up for making another , I scavenged that tubing so I'd need to find more or something ?

I'm gonna look at your project thread , havnt been on for a while so I've missed a few things lol .

Nice looking build. I've not come across the R sport K cam before only the normal K cam, is there a difference?

Do you plan on changing the turbo to hit the 400BHP mark?
