Supercharged Volvo 240

For more info on supercharging a volvo 240, have a look at the Volvo Club of Victoria's website (www.volvovic.org.au), under the downloads section or visit the brilliant www.turbobricks.com and do a search. Cheers.

The first day back after getting the volvo supercharged! A quick movie of driving onto the freeway in Australia from 10kph onwards.

How much does that cost? Does it severely effect the reliability?

[thewinky01]

People who sell modded 240's for 10 to 15k AUD will be just recouping costs. You wouldn't do this sort of thing to resell for a profit, there isn't the market.

Yes it does unless you upgrade all the ancilleries and keep an eye on things. Vovlo used expensive parts which on one hand gives you great reliability when stock and on the other, allows you to do this sort of thing. Upgrade the support mechanicals and you should be right.

What size/type of supercharger do you have on that motor??

[thewinky01]

It's a Toyota SC-14 roots type SC

Is yours carb'd or injected? Because I'd enjoy even 5 more hp.

[thewinky01]

It's injected with Autronic engine management.

Is there much of a club here in aus?

Thanks man! I have a 240 and believe me, I wouldn't do that sort of thing to make money... I just want more speed!

Sounds great! I miss my 240, but not that it handled like a soggy bread truck. Was a great car though.
