The standard B18 Volvo engine bored to 2.0L producing more than 170 HP :). And thank you for the comment!!!

Thank you for your comment. We try to do our best with what we've got. When participating in a race we always service our brakes, check the engine if it's running optimal and smooth, and then it's all about predicting the best tire pressure according to the weather.

We use a MANGOLETSI B18-B20 🙂

Yes we have blow by, however this does not affect our power too much.

Thank you very much for the nice comment :)

Thank you very much!

We achieved above 170hp :-)

Thank you very much Per! Would be fun if you still had a Cooper S so that we might have had a chance to share some tarmac together 😃

That’s a crazy trade. I traded an S10 for a volvo 240. I love the 240 but these are wild cars, you never see them either.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for your comment Stephen! It's very nice to put on a great show for you guys out there, who love seeing the vintage Volvos drive on the limit against other beautiful cars as well. And yes, we never give up 💪 Stay tuned for more fun this season 😉

You're welcome and thank you so much for the nice comments! :D

Thank you for the nice comment :D

Thanks for the nice comments :D

We're glad that you enjoyed the video and hopefully the others as well and that you got to re-experience good times from the youth again 🤩

It's very calm through the turns and sits very well on the tarmac ;)

It's nice that we are so even on the smaller Danish tracks. It probably would be too big a handfull on larger tracks such as SPA or similar 😃

@@krarupnielsen-vintageracing16 I with 3 others race a Mitsubishi all wheel drive V6 it's just for fun and it raises money for childhood cancer. We do a 12 hour race so each driver has a drive for 1 hour stint , so fuel stops have to be a curtain time can't do them too fast or your get penalised but driver changers have to be done as quick as possible. Its great fun and we have been on the podium a few times. Its great to watch your car and your driving style. Although the cars we race with and against are different makes than the cars you race with but same sort of vintage as you are racing. Keep the videos coming I love watching them and also how you have included the cars coming behind.

Thank you very much Jeff!

Unfortuneately I can't really remember where we got it from - it's the same lamp cover as for the indicators on the B pillar just made in the red colour instead.

The indicator repeaters from the front wings of a lot of older cars are very commonly used - and most accessory shops stock them for trailers etc.

Our engine is the original B18. Since we´re racing according to Group 3 (Special Touring Cars) we can bore the engine to the maximum of 2000ccm. Also we can use double Weber 45 and a custom camshaft. Our friends driving in the Amazon here in Denmark only compete in Group 2 where boring of the engine is prohibited. Also they must use the double SU carburettors. Have a nice day, BR Frederik

Ty it certainly seems quick

@@krarupnielsen-vintageracing16 My PV544 had the B16 engine and only one SU carb. I would never have been competitive against you folks. Great fun watching your video.

@@davidgrason161 Thanks for your comment, did you race your PV according to a specific regulation?

Thanks for the kind words Kevin! They´re very much appreciated. We have very good experience with our Bilstein shocks, and maybe they´re right for your Amazon as well?

Thank you Patrick! Glad you like our videos and there will definately be more of this stuff next season ;). According to the periodic correct regulations (pre '66) we are allowed to bore the original B18 to a maximum of 2000cc. This is due to the fact that our PV is tuned as a group 3 Special Touring Car for this period up to 1966. This also means we can run double Webers giving more power than the usual SU's run by group 1 an 2 touring cars. We also use a non-original and special camshaft according to the regulations. BR, Frederik

Thank You Carole Langreau. Glad you like it. It's a 1964 Volvo PV 544 and it's an original Sport. We have around 170 bhp and weigh between 900-1000 kg. Since we're racing according to App. K we are racing periodic correct tires - Dunlop CR65 - both in the dry and wet. That's why it's so slippery as the tires have a hard time draining water from the surface of the tarmac. :)

Thank you!!

Thanks a lot! 🏁💪🏼

Tak for den pæne kommentar til vores kørsel :D Ja, det er jo desværre det som kan ske i motorløb ;D.

Thank you ;) It was also a tough job to be completely honest. We race against such good drivers :)

@@krarupnielsen-vintageracing16 you were drivin the car the first 13min, then you started racing it ;)

Tak skal du have!

Tak skal du have Peter

It is tuned in compliance to the Appendix K and the way the Group 3 cars were made back in the day. B18, double Weber Carburetors and custom exhaust manifold. It flashes at 7000 rpm. Sounds cool with your project ;)

@@krarupnielsen-vintageracing16 Now I need to look up the specs for Group 3 and Appendix K. Just for knowledge, of course. I don't think a swap from the stock dual carbs to Webers is in my future. I think my Dad did that with his , back in the 60s. He always said he could rev the engine until the valves started to float.

@@johnwilliamson847 Many homologated Volvo racecars (544, P1800 and 122s) have had great succes with achieving high bhp with a dual SU setup. hehe sounds about right ;)

Thank you ;)

Thank you very much for following us on Instagram and UA-cam on our quest to beat the faster Lotus Cortina's ;-) More exciting content will follow soon!

Thank you Peter! Whether the driving is good or bad, the car always looks great from the outside ;-)

Thanks! It was a very special race in which I had a hard time getting passed the Falcon and having to deal with the Mini from behind all the time (sort of two way batteling throughout the race). But it was so cool to finally overtake all of them ;)

Indeed it was... the most winning touring car in both rally and curcuit racing in the late 50's and beginning of the 60's in Denmark and Scandinavia. In addition to its speed it was also very sturdy.

Beklager det sene svar... B18 boret op til knap 2 L med dobbelt weber45, close gearkasse :)
