Thanks for the video of my car, and nice meeting you guys @1320video that weekend. For some of the comments, the run against The white mustang was a "roll race", hence the 15sec pass. That was also Aric's car from Injected Engineering. It runs 9's if you were wondering. Look them ip, the build killer cars. My car is a stock 5.3 with a zr1 cam (which added 50hp to the wheels after I installed it), that runs on pump gas and makes 450 to the wheels on 8#. Yes, it could make more, some fine tuning should work that out. Yes, i need more practice at the drag strip. Yes, this is a fun, very clean, street car that draws a croud everywhere it goes. Thanks for looking liking (and hating too) lol..
What's it weigh? I have an 04 silverado rclb with a turbo 6.0 in it which is a riot on the street but i'd imagine you're a fair bit lighter! I think I'm probably right around 4400 as it normally rolls around.
With me, and a full tank it scaled at 3400. Its a fun ride. It has more in it. That was the first time at the strip for the car, and my first time at the strip in years...haha.
It's great seeing builds like these! I really dig the look of the older model Volvo's! It would be nice to see one w/ an upgraded Volvo motor tho, instead of an LS Swap.
tat2titan get your ass to scandinavia then! Here we love to tune the shit out of the b230fk/ft engine, aswell as the t5. Fk you can easily run 500bhp, and the t5 is good for 1000bhp+++
As a teen in the 70's, we lived beside the freeway. I could always tell when a 70's Volvo was going by. You'd hear a whistling sound, from the terrible aerodynamics, turn your head... and sure enough..a Volvo/box was driving by... and not fast - 60-70 mph.
Almost my dream car. I'd prefer the V8 out of the XC90. Glue on two turbos, like they did in the Noble M600 and you'd be ready to roll. To me, Yamaha is one of the greatest constructors of performance engines!
Get that man a 9 inch STAT!!!! And about 10 years ago i had a 240dl wagon and a built 302 in a maverick i had thought about doing that.. Kinda wished I would have.
I dunno. It would work, but a 72mm turbo isn't ideal for the redblock. I have a buddy running a 60mm on his 940, and even that takes its sweet time to spool.
Ls haters don't understand that they're cheap, relatively reliable, easy to work on, compact, aftermarket parts everywhere, and they make power just to name a few.
its just people use it all the time and even though I like and respect it, itd be cooler to either push the limits of the stock engine, or swap something unique. Just for something different
anthony lach. Modding is above all an expression of creativity and technical ability. It's just not interesting past a certain point to do what everyone else has done. Nothing wrong with it, but it's a "first build" thing to do.
Yoo this car came through my drive thru last night im almost certain unless some dude got the same volvo same color same wheels with a big ass turbo in it
Loved the video and I love this Volvo! I have a 1989 Volvo 244 that is cherry but has no engine. I plan to do a V8 install also. So, I've been studying this video and I'm curious about this final race - the one against the dark pewter colored Mustang. You folks must live in a different part of the country because our local dragstrips don't have a particular 12 second class and we're all running 1/8th mile tracks. If I am understanding this correctly, you've run a 12.61 ET at 126.78mph vs the Mustang's 12.77 ET at 117mph. You are quicker and faster than he is. But the Mustang took the win light. He must have cut a great light and beaten you off the line. Is this correct?
I'd rather see a turbo redblock. I'm all for v8s but I'd rather see someone push the limits of the original motor instead of swapping it. clean car though.
People have squeezed four-digit numbers out of redblocks, so I don't see why not.. No, they're not as cheap to build, nor as efficient as the LS, but heck they can take a darn good beating if you build it right!
if you say so, the axles twist and snap off pretty damn easily(bring spares if you have any kind of power and tires to put it down), the center will last a little while welded up, but it's still basically gambling. it's an overkill rearend for a 200hp volvo from the factory, it's on borrowed time behind anything 2-3 times that power level that can hook(and a manual doesn't help)
$200 car with a $10k engine lol. Still, it's a nice build with the potential to run decent times with some MTs on the back. Might want to change his diff ratio too.
Is it just me or should that car be faster? Obviously he's losing time because he's shifting but guys are running mid 14's in 240s with mildly modified B230FTs barely scratching 300hp.
Car doesnt have the traction for it, that thing could start a burnout at 80mph without going wide open throttle. He just built it as a fun street car, not a competitive dragster

rcstprez Car looks and runs good man, at least your out running your car and not your mouth.

WhiteLineFever81 Thank you for the comment! Intake the good with the bad. I live the car either way! :)
rcstprez Definitely not something you see everyday, enjoy man! I'm envious that you made it on 1320video haha
That's actually pretty clean. Nice paint, wheels etc.
And add in the safety factor!! You'd rather be in a Volvo, old or new! - They're boxy but they're good!
yess i love volvos to, they are a special kind of car. and not for everyone, you love them or hate them. nothing in between :)
Nice! Gotta love the old Volvos. Way back in the '80s I drove a 2.1 litre 244 model '80 for many years. Great car - sturdy as hell, built like a tank.
It's great seeing builds like these! I really dig the look of the older model Volvo's! It would be nice to see one w/ an upgraded Volvo motor tho, instead of an LS Swap.
tat2titan only sweedes like me that make that happened :)
tat2titan those cars are great just do not ever touch the wiring harness on them, they crumble when messed with.
tat2titan get your ass to scandinavia then! Here we love to tune the shit out of the b230fk/ft engine, aswell as the t5. Fk you can easily run 500bhp, and the t5 is good for 1000bhp+++
That's fucking Badass!!! haha I would love to see some of that action!
As a teen in the 70's, we lived beside the freeway. I could always tell when a 70's Volvo was going by. You'd hear a whistling sound, from the terrible aerodynamics, turn your head... and sure enough..a Volvo/box was driving by... and not fast - 60-70 mph.
That Volvo sits just right on it's wheels. Great looking car, and great colour for a 240
Almost my dream car. I'd prefer the V8 out of the XC90. Glue on two turbos, like they did in the Noble M600 and you'd be ready to roll. To me, Yamaha is one of the greatest constructors of performance engines!
i got a sleeper in my suzuki esteem. I swear dude, everytime I drive it, i fall asleep.
And doesn't pay for the ride😂🤣
I had the privilege to see that car run on the half mile in ocala earlier this year. Everyone love it.
Rocking some sleeper love right here!
That's pretty sweet, nice clean looking car.
5.3 LS turbo motor running through a stock Volvo rear end....kudos!!
Love this car!!! Owner seems real cool , great video
Get that man a 9 inch STAT!!!! And about 10 years ago i had a 240dl wagon and a built 302 in a maverick i had thought about doing that.. Kinda wished I would have.
Vintage looks meet modern engineering. The best custom retro!
he's definitely got the the speed, just needs some hookup. sweet ride!
I saw it hanging around in some of the "Cleetus" vids and am glad to see it get a feature. Cheers 1320.
Drag racing must be the only time you ever 'round down'
Flat hood 242 = heaven
looks super stable going down
that coyote at the end was badass.
Nice Vulva, but the first StudStang gave it a pounding. In that last race though it was really opening up.
finally we get a Volvo back into the mix
0:40 this guy clowning doesnt know volvo has some of the strongest rear ends.
A Dana 30 believe it or not
Yeah Volvo's used Dana 30s(Dana 40s??)...explains y the LS turbo motor hasn't blown the rear end "clips" off...lol!
@@andrewerickson6690 correct
Dana 30 putting up with the abuse! Nicely done sir
the first turbo car I got to drive in when I was 6 my uncle had one.
Those who are bored with LS swaps DO NOT own LS swapped cars
Volvo for life
That's a really nice Volvo! Good job!
Damn dude, those new mustangs are just screaming down the track. They sure do make a nice sound.
I love Volvo
it would be a beast of a sleeper if it had better launch control
could of ran that with the b230ft
I wish there were more of them around too!
I dunno. It would work, but a 72mm turbo isn't ideal for the redblock. I have a buddy running a 60mm on his 940, and even that takes its sweet time to spool.
Matthew Z
Well yeah, if you don't do any supporting tuning.... B230 engines do have potential, here in sweden ppl build 1000+ hp 16v redblocks lol

I did see one redblock 8V that make 1300hp. And a the 16v do make 1-400mor hp ;)
Mr. Clutch meet Mr. Chef .

Reminded of Bamses turbo underpants anyone?!
except that bamse uses volvo's own engine
I love my 81 and this is goals
Going to build one someday soon.
Old Volvo rear ends are fucking bulletproof. I'm not surprised that it was holding up under that V8.
Yoo this car came through my drive thru last night im almost certain unless some dude got the same volvo same color same wheels with a big ass turbo in it
i
More Volvo’s please!!!
VOLVO t5 & t6 engine=real POWER
Sure after having the block sleeved and waiting for the tiny sub 3L to spool a turbo that can match the power this car makes
Thats a good Volvo!
Guy in the white Camero be like "bitch please,then WTF?"
NICE VIDEO
Looking good. V8 should have been the original configuration.
These 240s huge engine bays are begging for an XC90 AWD swap with the B8444S and tuned twin turbo setup
Super cool
i love sleepers
Volvo 240 with an ls2 will be my daily one day
"I'll see if I can get her into the 11's"......
Does a 12.60....😂
Oscar Alvarado or the 15.3 lol that turbo does nothing for this guy
Oscar Alvarado he ran 12.03 though, that's definitely breaking into the 11's when and if he makes a good pass. 1.99 60 foot is shit
Needs more tire, will be in the 11's for sure after that.
he even says "i probably wont get it to hook up"
so yeah it can to 10s if he gets more tyre basically
Vega-Expert 15.3 was roll racing.
I don't know... House of Power also has a sleeper Volvo, you might wanna check theirs out.
Fun to see, waaaaaaay under-utilized block, heavy car, stable and waaaaaay to slow. Much work to be a sleeper.
Damn this is an old post, but those things aint too heavy they are around 2,800 pounds stock so its probably 3,200 after the swap
THE POWER OF SWEDEN
While simultaneously also being the "safest car ever", but only back in those days.
The unibody is still very safe but thats about it. Steel roof members are no joke
A harder dig would get him into the 11's for sure.
OMG my dream car!
The vid I've been waiting 4

rcstprez, nice car man keep up the good work.
The price of volvos just went up
MR.
CLUTCH
A way to save the stock rear axle
That cars owner
Shirt
I see :)
how much do these cars cost and how do i learn how to build my own??
His accent is so clean and smooth. Where is that from?
10 miles a second, nice.
Should have gone 2J like the guy in Sweden...👌
242GT
Sweet Car
Doing a turbo 6.0 ls th400 in my 242 this summer!
this aged well. haha
Turbo brick!
Cool car man, just do some better warm-up skids! Lol
why'd you change the name from the flying brick or whatever it was?
awesome
Great. My Wife drives a Volvo
Notification squad were u at
Jolie volvo
Another LS swap....yay....
No use reinventing the wheel. Its a reliable setup that handles good power
aag318504 better than another 2JZ swap
LMAO.
I'd rather see a turbo redblock. I'm all for v8s but I'd rather see someone push the limits of the original motor instead of swapping it. clean car though.
People have squeezed four-digit numbers out of redblocks, so I don't see why not.. No, they're not as cheap to build, nor as efficient as the LS, but heck they can take a darn good beating if you build it right!
I love it
excelente se siente el poder
how many people do work for this channel?
Hi Mr.Clutch
I can do that in my 6k 99 Silverado with a Baker Engineering 5.3 N/A
get a rearend in that thing and launch it like you hate it
if you say so, the axles twist and snap off pretty damn easily(bring spares if you have any kind of power and tires to put it down), the center will last a little while welded up, but it's still basically gambling. it's an overkill rearend for a 200hp volvo from the factory, it's on borrowed time behind anything 2-3 times that power level that can hook(and a manual doesn't help)
Yea this is not very shocking.
Something shocking would be a v8 swapped honda ridgeline.
I like Bamse's volvo much better than this
Wassup 1320
$200 car with a $10k engine lol. Still, it's a nice build with the potential to run decent times with some MTs on the back. Might want to change his diff ratio too.
pmodd doesn't have to be 10k. Check out sloppy mechanics channel here.
That Volvo-model has the nick-name "socialist-container" back in Sweden :) Love it.
What is happening with Stockholm Open 2016?
Ugglesnurp 2017* you mean
If you like turbocharged V8's, you should definitely pop by and have a look at our channel
just like cleetus, they always change their titles an hour after the video has been published
I just had a turbo LS swap 700hp Volvo 240 on my channel that coughs on fire during my review.
JD JoyrideTV cos its ls swapped... i wish people would stop ls swapping every thing that moved
Andrew Burston it's because it's cheap.
Swedish powaaa
y am i still getting Jon Assoff ads, I cant even vote -_-
Its 2017, get ad block already
TheShadowOwl pay for UA-cam red
How tf do I turn it on on a Mac
Volvo por vida
When are yll uploading the Red fox body with the 2jz?
what trans you runnin?????
Is it just me or should that car be faster? Obviously he's losing time because he's shifting but guys are running mid 14's in 240s with mildly modified B230FTs barely scratching 300hp.
Car doesnt have the traction for it, that thing could start a burnout at 80mph without going wide open throttle. He just built it as a fun street car, not a competitive dragster
Have an 88 240, some days would love to have a v8 just to smoke some bmw fools haha
stock head studs? 22psi
he didnt trailer the car there, he drove it. was his first run on the 1/4 so i dont blame him for going easy on it too.
This is your tape
OCTANE GAIN STANG lmao !
