Koens 142

[koenvbr]

Since I'm working now, the parts are comming in a lot quicker then when the time I studied.

After my Amazon I wanted to built a "quicker" car. First I wanted to built a amazon turbo, but then I could trade 240 parts for a 142. The car was in. I had bought several parts already from a guy who raced with a group-a back in '87-'89 in belgium. So my goal is a 142 with ex-group-a stuff. Here in Belgium no vintage volvo car is turbo-ed, so I want to let the old guys freak out over here

Some specs of the engine/car I would like to have:

*B23 engine
*SPM 145mm rods
*std B23ET pistons
*ported&polished 531
*MSD 6 BTM ignition
*megasuirt
*Längerer & Reich intercooler
*custom intake
*+90 style exhaust manifold
*group-a turbo
*3" downpipe
*double AP racing clutch
*adjusted flywheel
*M400 gearbox (custom m400-m40 bellhousing)
*160 axle with the internals from my 1031 race axle (Volvo-R LSD and 4,1:1 ratio)
*160 front axle with vented 240 discs & 240 calipers
*polyurethane bushings all around
*koni adjustable shocks
*sport springs
*ipd swaybars

thanks, they are 1" in front and 3/4" for the rear, ordered by a volvo shop called wagner&gunther in germany. So the shipping costs were only 15euros.

The closest importer is the company I got them from,

Complete kit was 400euros, but it's wurth it, I drove my friends 140E and it feels som much different then a stock one.

I just did a search by a transportcompany (UPS) from Hamburg to Göteborg. It takes (on paper) about 2days and it would cost about 27euro's thats 252SEK for a package of 4kg. Don't know exactly what the package weighted so...

since i'm going to use a 240 axle iäd only use the front bar, dunno if a GLT/TURBO bar from 240 will do at rear... but im in no hurry for those parts yet, time will tell looking farward to see future pics of yor car anyway!

Ilooking for other turbo now, I've found one in holland, pic will follow

[koenvbr]

reading this forum can have some serious consequences for a turbo choice :p, I got it for 400euros, used 8times for traktor pulling.




Is there any site were I can find info about the spänruller which has to be made for placing a 16v head. Saw that a vw ruller is used several times.

the head has arrived in the meanwhile, boring the block would normally be the next step.
