Well it was just a wild brainfart anyway. The amount of power it would make on boost would kill an unmodified engine for sure. Especially at the high rpm's it would take to spool if it has a true T4 turbine housing. I'm told T3 turbine with T4 blower housing would probably be best (T3/4).

How would a garrett T4 do on a B200ET? If I get that engine I could buy a T4 off a guy I know. It just seems a bit big:)..Although ford did use it on that RS500 car which has a 2l as well.....

It all depends on the type of lsd you use. For example my brothers mazda mx5 has a viscous diff...that doesnt lock very good at all, it does however help improve traction in corners. I dont know much about torsen or other wormwheel diff's, but they are supposedly not much better than viscous as far ...

Hmmm..you should try a car equipped with lsd then. My daily driver has a turning circle of about 4-5 meters :lol:

Well that is the idea... My plan was to take out the old engine in it's entirity...leaving only the radiator behind.. Take out wiring loom & ECU in 1 piece. Mount B200ET, mess around with exhaust, water & intercooler piping. After the engine is in place and the mechanic stuff is sorted out the wirin...

My vote goes to the leaf spring suspension..I like coilsprings better.

Okay..here's my trackday 360...there's a lot that I've done to it, and a heck of a lot more coming. So far it's equipped with suzuki swift GS seats, stripped of it's interior, fitted a K&N filter, lowered the front 2-3cm and painted some ghey racing stripes on it. I'm not a lover of the 360 looks or...

Okay..so it would take the entire wiring loom for the engine taken from a 740.. Probably better of without renix anyway..

Well...I'm a toyota guy myself, and the engine in my ol coupe was also equipped with a supercharger on some models (4age series engine). The supercharged versions had lower comp.ratio's and beefier internals than the NA versions. The same goes for the volvo B200 engines I guess. Stock compression on...

I can get the b200ET reasonably cheap, the power is enough for me so I'm not going to look for b230 instead. My guess is that pretty much the same things are involved to swap in a b200et.. The engine should fit the 360 ancillaries should fit the b200et since it's basicly the same engine. Wiring is m...

Hi! I have a 360 trackday car, and have recently found an opportunity to buy a B200ET engine from a volvo 740. I'm just craving for that turbo power, and since there are some here that have done this conversion I would like to find out a bit more about it. The engine I can buy was taken out of the 7...
