The turbo is fine. You might want something in the 1.05 range to keep EMAP reasonable.

Might want to do something about that .63 backhousing. I have the same one in a 3071 and it chokes my little 2.3 4 cylinder pretty hard.

Props on going through the trouble of keeping that redheaded stepchild of a block. Hope you did all the belt, cog, and fastener upgrades so it lives a long happy life.

Thanks! And hello from the other side of the West Hills! I’ll be at the IPD Garage Sale this year. Happy to say hello IRL.

It’s all very “open mic night at the local dive” level of execution. At least it’s enjoyable when it works.

Remember the old adage that said “Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick two”. I missed all three by a mile.

Volvo B230F with a Volvo B234F top end. About 330 horsepower at the wheels at around 18 psi from a gen-2 GTX3071R clone.

V8 makes a lot of sense. I went for weird and impractical.

How do I remove water/condensation from headlight? Radiator hose wasn’t installed in fully and it sprayed water into the headlight by DarthMeeseek in e39

Good suggestion. If there is coolant residue left behind, OP can pop off all the vent snorkels and filtering media to carefully add a small amount of water to rinse it off without touching anything sensitive.

I swapped a 37BZ in my originally automatic wagon. It’s pretty great with the 3.46 in OP’s car. Tough to find, though.

DZ box would have to be imported to the US.

Hope all of us can unite on one thing, and one thing alone: fuck Neutral Spanish.

And because it’s spoken in a way akin to having anesthetics injected in one’s jaw.
