Oh noes, that means my proposed new project won't be quite as special as I'd hoped 
Also, shame he had to sell that. I've missed a bit on here.

Wiganer and Liam are still cracking on, theres no shame in doing a good job though dude.
Still one of my dream cars.............. on LPG!!!!!!!
Re: Volvo 360 saloon with B230 FK Turbo Engine conversion
Yeah, almost LPG'd the valver before it went pop (well, also I was selling it too). LPG gets a lot of bad rap (go on, I can almost hear you googling something for that pun) but if done professionally they really do reap their returns. I was quoted £800 approx for an install in Bristol

Think Dai and his dad do them cheaper than that mind.Speedy88 wrote:Yeah, almost LPG'd the valver before it went pop (well, also I was selling it too).

Do not ask how long you would have to sit and read a magazine while it was being completed though.................................................................

That saloon turbo looks smart, 11c turbo is very small though. I can only think the 11C was used in the S60 T6 (as part of a twin turbo setup).. Tidy looking shell as well

are you doing a b230 turbo conversion? i was abit gutted when i saw how many there was lately but its still pretty special, think how many red top corsa's you see knocking bout, probs more redtops than 300's lol
Re: Volvo 360 saloon with B230 FK Turbo Engine conversion
Yeah true, it's still an option but I like to do things that nobody has done before. I wanted originally to do a 240 engine with cam and carb mods, nothing stupidly powerful but nice noise and maybe getting to the mid 100s of bhp. But then I realised the stock b230 is only 10hp more than the stock b19. Not worth the effort of taking it all out.
SO, I've got some other ideas now
