B230FK drift build
Hi there.
So I'm finally getting started on my drift Volvo build. It's a 1991 940 sedan which had a B230FB but I'm swapping a B230FK in it. And that's where I need some help. So the engine is gonna make between 260 and 300 whp and I need some injectors for it but the green giants are very expensive and almost impossible to get here in Poland. Are there any cheaper reliable options? When it comes to the turbo I'm thinking between a 19T, 15G and a GT28 (leaning more towards the last one) My fabricator friend is going to make me custom manifolds so I need to decide which turbo I'm gonna get. What do y'all think, which turbo would be best? Also, should I change the motor mounts? |

15G is quite small. 19T is quite a bit bigger but takes a bit longer to spool. There are lots of injectors out there that will fit from other vehicles.
Are you running the Volvo ECU with a custom map or are you running an aftermarket ECU?

It's gonna run on an aftermarket standalone ECU. Which injectors would fit for that amount of hp? What car model?

VXR injectors are a popular choice.
15g is too small for what you want. 19T, Garret T3/4 or HX35 would be options. |

You won't get anywhere near 300 at the wheels on any stock Volvo turbo, maybe a K24 but even so that's pushing it.

Also Volvo turbos are phosphor-bronze bearings, ideally ball bearing turbos are better for higher power/ prolonged use.

T6 from an S80? 272bhp stock with room for tinkering 🤣
Cheers

Yes it can. That is exactly what my brother has done with 240. Way prefer a garret turbo, not a fan of the itchypussy stuff |
