- Got alot of questions if i can do this video with English sub ( there are a Swedish one). So i made one with English voiceover. This is my first attempt to make this kind of movie in English so be easy on me.
This video is a popular one and i can see why, if you find this interesting and like to have more English content on the channel. Please make yourself heard in the comment section. That would be for great help.
Who am i and why should you follow my channel?
I am a engine tuner with my own company "overboostracing.se"
We have made a lot of cool projects and has been growing a lot in the volvo tuning culture.
We had one of the first 1000hp redblocks (look at my earlier videos) and help other customers to make same achievement. Around 3-4 cylinderheads in total that all make over 1000hp.
Some cool 8valve NA engines as well.
Kind of inofficial world record on 531 head.
If you want to join this fairly new journey (with youtube) please subscribe and have a great time.
Thanks!

Great video, thank you! And your English is perfectly good, better than most native English speakers 😂
thank´s for the comment, i´ve been looking at your redblock content to. Nice to see you here. And for kind words
@@Overboostracing Agreed, your accent is pretty standard for where you're from and you speak very understandably, speaking slowly isn't a bad thing, either, no problems at all. Keep it up :-)
I could spend more time listening to you talking about redblock stuff. I vote for more English content. Thanks for this one. It’s amazing how simple it is to get power out of those engines. I can’t wait to upgrade mine 😁
G'day, Thank you for the Tim you've taken 2 do this vid..video... love how thorough ur explanations are. Please continue doin these n English, as my German nephew would say "for us stupid Americans " (jokingly of course) 🙏🏁🏎
english translation was great! definitely appreciate the wealth of knowledge you share for these engines. Excited to see more
Thank you very much for the english effort! It's sometimes difficult for non Scandinavian people to find performance content on those red block. Thanks a lot and greetings from France!
“I’m not a fluent English speaker” man my one and only language is English and you speak it better than I do, you’re fine 😂
Thank you!
For me this is much easier to understand than trying to understand everything in swedish, even though I am from Denmark :p
Great video.
Looking forward to more videos in the future hopefully.
i understand, Danish has to be translated to English in my case to :)
Neat video! I built a 700hp one in my garage, Red block power!
first time i saw your video. i am interested in all volvo. especially 240 series.
keep up the good videos.
Brilliant video. Can you do more English videos on the red block tuning
Good stuff! I would like to see more videos with technical information about B230 engines.
I would love english video about cylinderheads in boosted b230s. 530 and 531. About porting, valvework, valvesprings, cams etc.
Looks like i have to make more eng vids so we will go thru everything that´s on the table in the shop
Hi from Portugal! Great video! Some value info on that! Yes considering making English videos is nice for the rest of the world learn something!
Im building one b230ft too so surely I’ll check your future videos
I’ve already watched this video but in swedish 😂 and you guessed it I didn’t understand nothing 😂
Keep the good work and we are waiting for more content!
Thank you for sharing, and for the English translation, it was all perfectly clear.
Would love to see more red block English videos!
Loved the video! Thank you for doing it in english
Great video, English is perfect! look forward to seeing more. Would love to know what sort of ecu management you use. :)))
💯
Thank you! Been hoping for an english video. Love the channel and all of the redblock content but my swedish is very bad so this is very much appreciated!
Thank´s a lot :)
Just the Other day on the New Years Live Stream for LevelOne Techs, Both Krista and Ryan both said that they wanted to go to Sweden. They loved the area and both said they would love to visit/Live there.
Its not only the natural beauty of the place, but beauty of the people that are there in Sweden. (#Notall)
Even though this video is in English. I think we all know this is actually Swedish coming through on the other end. Just with some Apple pie. 😊
Thank you for making this video in English.
Great job! I've been following your channel and understanding what I could. Requesting B21/23 block content please!
Thanks alot for the english voiceover, it's really great!
Nice to hear, thank you
Your English is Good enough!!! Thanks for good videos. From new Subscriber from DK :) Brings me back to the old B20 on the 240 models
Yes please! ...more English videos! ...and thank you for the knowledge dump!
I would really appreciate you taking the time to do English versions of your Volvo videos
Yes I am very happy you have chosen to do English im a body guy with a 242gt build and I'm going to out in a b230ft in it with a garrett gt3071r also I have a haltech computer system with ls1 coil packs
Excellent English and can't wait for these videos to get going. So many questions that I'm sure you will cover off. Firstly please explain that water pump mod.
More of everything! Porting, Dyno and engine builds.
Looking forward to more videos on Redblocks and Whiteblocks! Cheers brother!
Please more English videos it helps us here in states not to many people here building b230ft everyone does LS1 swaps
This video was great and its amazing to see that good engine building procedures go across all languages. Could you maybe talk more about what the oil flame trap box has been replaced with? What Valve springs & valves? What part # are the ARP studs you used?
Hi Tommy, thanks for the English vid! I already watched the Swedish version a few days earlier but this is easier to follow for me! Valuable info as I am going to build a fresh b230 turbo for my car.
Thank you for taking the time to make some English language videos about incredible cars and engines.
Thanks for the translation! I've been watching your videos, and just hoping i can understand what you are doing by the footage😂
Keen to see more. Your english is great!

Hi I did see this video in Swedish. I think it is brilliant to show that Volvo can be a factor against 2gz and Honda for example.
Great job bro,continue with english or subtitle please.thanks.
Just figured I'd say thank you for making your videos in English. It's a small community so I know they won't get many views but your efforts and time doing so is noted and appreciated
This is awesome, now my favourite channel on UA-cam 👌🏼
Your English is good enough for a french guy to clearly understand it so keep going mate ! ;)
Excellent video. Can't wait for more English translation. Good to know i can make big power with this motor. Gonna have to try and find a newer 740 engine to build for my 85 245 now 😬
Thank you for the english version! Would love to see more. I have a B230FT in my 242 rally car, always looking for more info and tips!
where are you located? I'm in PNW, piling up parts for a basic NA 16v rally build.
English is nice but I’ll read sub titles if need be. Love red block build videos. Plus one sub.
huge fan of your content, even in swedish it is enjoyable (sadly youtube cannot automatically subtitle your comments) would love to see more english videos. Your english is excellent!
This is really good and useful content, definitely keep going. The other videos about building 600 hp redblock are in my favourites. By the way, it is still quite amazing that one can build a 700 whp car with such an ancient engine technology-wise. I wonder how much boost does a 8v redblock need to hit 700 whp and how the torque curve would look like. I saw flow graphs of 531 head vs the 16v head and the 531 figures didn`t look impressive on the paper. It was like 170 cfm and 280 cfm respectively.
And also I wonder if you happen to have any experience with new smaller high flowing turbines on redblocks like Garret g25 or new borg EFR. I`m building a redblock (stroked b21 with oil sprinklers (lol) and forged internals with 531 head) and want to achieve the broadest torque curve possible for everyday/track use, but still want to have decent power like 500+ ish whp
Thank you would like to see more English vids 👍
Looks like the interest is pretty high. good feedback that i needed
I enjoy the videos in english. Keep up the great content. Love everything volvo
definitely more English videos on the redblock.
I appreciate the English and look forward to more content
Awesome videos man love the English versions!!!!
I like it! Is the cam a custom grind? Where could we source them state side?
Loved your first English video. If you’re willing to share some knowledge, I’m certainly happen to listen from down here in Australia.
thanks for the English content! really interesting and learning a lot
Great video. Keep the EN videos coming.
Great video! Please do another videos with english voice over😁👍
Great video. Please do more in English.
Hi from the San Francisco Bay. Yes, please make more videos in English ! A Volvo mechanic friend is building a +T B230, 1977 245 for me as we speak, and I love your methodical work and explanations. It's very educational.
Yes please!! More English videos ❤️
Your English is perfect- more videos please- in the USA there are many Volvoheads who would be interested in this information
Thank you so much for the English content ! Your channel is awesome and I love redblocks 🇸🇪 your voiceover is great keep it up !
Video's on aftermarket engine management in English would be nice. Also some stores that ship parts to the USA, you guys have all the good stuff overseas
as others have said your English is better than most native English speakers. and yes more of these English videos.
Great stuff here and in English 👍
Your English is perfect. Please keep doing these for all of us...
Greta video! Keep going👍👌
Really appreciate the video in English, please continue to do more! Thanks.
Yes please we need the swedish secrets
Like your work! I have a boat with a Volvo AQ171-c red block and I am trying to learn what parts (such as Cam Belt replacement Kits) are available from car engines, as Boat suppliers charge so much more than cars!!! Cheers.
Most of the 88 through 97 red block timing belt kits will work for you bro
@@jollyrodger5319 Thanks mate!... when you say "most", what should I be looking out for?
I don’t usually comment on stuff but this (and your other English video) are great. Please keep up the English content. You Scandinavians need to share your Volvo knowledge with us
I have a bunch of volvos on the way, alot of film there will be :)
När kommer nästa video? Jag tycker det är riktigt roande och lärorikt att kolla på dina videos. Fortsätt med det du gör för du är grym
Försöker få ut på måndagar, men hög arbetsbelastning nu så kan diffa nån dag
I think your english is pretty good, I didn't have any trouble understanding you at all. thanks!
Thank´s! This comments really help me a lot.
I would say your English is fluent. Much better than my Spanish!
Wonderful video thank you for posting I can't wait to do my engine!
awesome tommy! tack so mycket för det :) still having your stickers on my car, if you remember that long haired volvo dude visiting you in your shop in arvika maybe 10 years ago.. :)
long haired volvo dude…hmmmm
Greatly appreciate the English commentary! I'm already getting the itch to build another volvo.... lol
Hi Tommy.
Your English voice over is great. I like it.
You say to torque the head bolts to 150Nm and no more or the head or block crack. What parts crack?
I like your 'Girdle' plate you put on your engines. I think that is very good.
I have a 2.5 litre AQ151C engine, several B230FK/T engines and a B230FB engine. They are all 1992+. I shall to use the B230FB block as my start point as it has little wear and has squirters and use the AQ151C crank as that engine does not have squirters and is rusty on the outside from salt water. I think the AQ151C engine was in a boat but was hardly used. It is perfect inside. I have various cams A, Vx Vx3, B, T etc from various engines and brown (Ford) injectors, 3" AMM, 15G turbo etc to hopefully hit about 220Hp.
I have had these parts a long time but it will be a project for the future.
Keep up the good videos.
Rob
I'm an 850r owner. Yep, original manual gearbox. Tbh, bored with it so......
Just picked up a B230 engine with manual gearbox. Bargain, £250 the lot.
Trying to find a good solid but tired looking 240 estate to fit the tuned redblock into.
Oh how I love a sleeper.
Nice work👍
Jorasattdä 💪 helst svenska. Finns eng sub.
Problemetär att all engelsk sub måste skrivas manuellt då UA-cam inte hanterar det från svenska till Engelska. Jag får komma på nått smart, svenskan är helt klart bekvämast
Thanks for sharing your knowledge brother. Much love from Australia. Volvo life
Yes! I've watched your Swedish language videos, not understanding any of it, just trying to learn from what I see. I'll watch anything you give us in English about building red blocks.
Definitely more English Videos please. I live in Australia and have a 240GLT Turbo and Two 740 Turbos and enjoy your work. Very informative, thanks a lot.
Hi Tommy, Love the Video your English is totally fine and very understandable yes more videos in english would be wonderful,
I totally loved my PV544 Sport,1965 B-18 twin SU's 4 spd after my tuning i would get 41 MPG @ 60MPH wish I could find another one.
Tommy keep up the info to us, love your channel. Arlen
Thank you for this great videos. I'm from Germany and really appreciate the videos in English. I'm looking forward to upgrade my 745.
My 240 is 1989 with mechanical injection it's very slow I need more power . I am thinking of putting 32 34 EFI from webcon in UK . Is this good idea.
Your English videos and knowledge are very much appreciated! Please keep making us content! 🙏
Thank you so much for making such a big effort to speak English. The work you do is just spot on. Please keep the red block stuff coming .
i have 548whp b230 engine whit wiseco, chinarods, hx40s... top is 531 basic, boost 2.5bar...what do you think if i but moore boost can i get 600-700whp or do i have to port my top? or is my holset hx40s 16# too small?
Tommy, when you mentioned max torque settings for the cylinder head, did you say 115nm or 150nm?
I only ask as ACM.SE list 130nm for there 12.9 stud kit.
I have just rewatched this video a year on from when I first watched. Thanks again for the English translation! 👊🏻
I lived in Sweden for about three years back in the mid 1970s and drove a Volvo Amazon, used to work on it to maintain it so I can relate to these videos. I like to watch the Swedish version to see how much I can understand, but from a technical point of view the English version is more informative as my Swedish is a bit rusty now. Keep the videos coming 👍
Great video! Appreciate your efforts to do the video in English! Looking forward to future videos
How much would it cost to make it 400ish hp?
Approximately of course :)
Is block filled with beton/concrete? How much non filled block can hold power? I have b230ft block non filled and running 530hp at 1.9 bar and looking for more boost :)
Make more english videos about building volvo redblocks and tuning. LH2.2 to MS would be awesome.
Intrresting video. Please post some more in English. You speak English just fine. 😉
Paul 😎
Thanks for amazing content! Please make more english videos! Your english is perfect! So much great info on redblocks! Greatings from Poland.
Thanks for making it in english! Is that a stock head?
Also you mentioned 12.9 studs...are those studs something other than arp for the head?
Great video, lovely rebuild.
Your english is pretty good.
I understand your explanations easily compared to american buddies not mumbling but constantly eating words speaking too fast with duck emphasis 😄
I live in France and we are rebuilding a red block for my car after we ruined the first one stupidly... Oil pump shaft was not held in correct position: it got lifted up, that broke the auxiliary shaft that fell into conrod #4 path. Piston #4 broke releasing its conrod that destroyed the engine block both sides. Every conrods got bent, complete engine low end got destroyed. Apparently, these engines produce strong vibrations between 2000 and 3000 rpm that it can make the oil pump shaft to left its correct position if not held properly.
Hello from Australia! I can't fault your English and I look forward to seeing more videos from you in English, if you can. I'm still learning about the redblocks and I want to tune my 740 turbo! 😁
@overboostracing The water pump in the video does not have a pulley. Is this for electric water pump? How are the belts routed? Can you explain how this works for daily use at 700HP?
The english was good and I understood everything =)
I'm going to overhaul a b200f myself and this video had much valuable information for me, thanks!
Yes,English please! I want to put a mild 230 engine and 5 speed in a 1980 toyota celica gt coupe!
My videos in English please, info is lacking for the b230f in most of the English speaking side of youtube
Great video!
And I assure you, you're English is far superior to my Swedish (haven't spoke it since my great grandparents passed).
