Volvos are big Scandinavia, Finland and Canada. The aftermarket for these is HUGE! I'm Finnish, I've owned three 740's. They are everywhere around here like Sweden and dirt cheap
Its not legal in most european countries to swap such big displacement engine to a car that originally had a ~2liter, I would love a small block chevy or LS in one of my 3 estates.. :c
FourEyePersonal to tune a engine in sweden and still be legal for Streets u can make more horsepower out of a b230 and cheaper then u could out of a ls. Because if u swap a ls, u have to Chance pretty much the whole car
@@felixbb1445 LS swapping a 240 is extremely straight forward. It's a basic kit. I'd be willing to bet tons of Swedes would be running them if it were feasible.
I never thought i would say this about a b230 but this thing sounds fucking mean. Props to the guy, it’s not often you hear a good sounding b230, the tractor sound is completely gone
Today we have one of the chattiest humans on Earth interviewing one of the most stoic humans on the planet. It was glorious. Like a 98:1 word count for the two of you. Now I want to see a Swede interview an Irishman. 【ツ】
It's so nice to see what Robert has done to my old 940. He really took it to the next level. I bought that car back in 2008 from an old man in Linköping Sweden who had the car sence it was new. The car was totally stock and in very good condition. I had the car for seven years and over those years I hade 3 different motors in it. In 2015 I sold the car to a near friend. At that time it had a fully built engine and 512whp/771wnm. He had the car only a short period and then Robert bought it. So many memory's I have linked to that car. :) In my channel I have a few videos of it if someone is interested. Robert has really taken the fast streetcar Volvo I had to an extreme machine and I love it! :D
This exact car in The video, without any modifications would be worth to a good buyer maybe 2500$ (USD) in sweden. But you can get a decent one for as low as 200-300$. So imagine being able to get a RWD car for 200-300$. If u weld The differential u instantly have an ok working Drift car. And say u spend 200$ more on ECU tuning and higher boost (boost is free on 940, u can get 2 bars from original 13C turbo, but bygger turbos have more displacement ofc)..
Volvos give me flashbacks to my first car, a mint 740gl -90 b230f. Now, 12 years later after having old school corollas, turbo miata, subarus, patrol and dodge ram Cummins, I want to go back to my roots and trade my patrol to a mint 940 turbo and a v50 for the lady.
COME ON UA-cam, BRING THE 100k subs ALREADY!!! I've been here since the first episode of the series and can't get enough. This video is probably one of my favourite because I am a Volvo lover.
The reason for the existence of these is because farmers kids should be allowed to help drive tractors from the age of 15 using a tractor lisence. Kids in sweden "build" buy, or convert cars to fullfill the specifications of a tractor, bed in back, triangle for slow vehicle and 2 gearsboxes being some of these required features, for it to be considered a tractor in the eyes of the law.
An A-traktor or "EPA" doesn't have to have a truck bed. But most do. You have to have a tow-hitch, only seats for one passenger, speed governed to 30hm/h and display the "LGF" triangle on the back. Also, in Swedish Volvo culture it's very common to have ALOT of Poppy Air Fresheners in the front window with the LED lights shining inside the glass bottle. You can see them in the video here aswell at 12:06. A big downside of the A-traktor community is that these youngster often travel to large car meets with several cases of beer and get drunk and it usually ends with cars being destroyed, set on fire and fights breaking out. The car community has become quite hostile and you see that it's a lot more common now to arrange private small car meets to avoid attracting the A-traktors.
This was an awesome video. Just love the look of the car. Its amazing how much power that can be made with 8V b230 redblock. Also loved the e-trakktors at the end.
@@alexanderlindh3557 Well he had an N/A build, and he's gonna rebuild it using a stroker crank out of a Penta. And now he's got a 450hp one with 231 head ported by Dennis Blom and BMW ZF transmission (also prepped by Blom), it's got enough power that it's lifting the head. He's also been modifying knuckles since day 1 to get the best self centering. So, I wouldn't exactly say he drives "original Volvo's" 🤣 Also, most Scandinavian 800hp or whatever B230 builds are mostly only shown on UA-cam getting tested on long straights in forests, maybe a few burnouts and thats about it, not exactly what you'd call "drifting" 🤣 And since he's been bashing on one Volvo or the other pretty much non-stop, he's gotten quite good, in Scandinavia we barely do one roundabout or something, Driftnlifts does on-ramps, off-ramps, entire sectors etc, with original and modified Volvo's, IMO he's pretty next level vs MOST Scandinavian Volvo drifters in so far as content and driving skill. Not to detract this build of course, pretty sure it gets shoved sideways, and the driver/builder is certifiably nuts (as it should be).
Awesome. Loving being able to see car culture from around the world!! You need to get to some more country's and show just what their local car culture is like. Awesome
In the Netherlands we have a similar class called "MMBS" vehicles. You can drive vehicles from this class with a tractor license and that means that people under 18 can drive them too. The rules for these cars are basically the same...
Well, the rules have been changed if I'm not mistaken. Since the T (tractor) licence has been brought back to 18 years. But we still have those annoying 45kmph cars
Lol you Sweeds are unreal. You think no-one cares about your Volvos... While the rest of the world loves them. The thing is, we all watch untranslated vids of super cool RWD Bricks, but we don't have any information on how to maintain or improve the car. Because you think it's a Swedish-only thing, you don't share in English. So, yeah, I loved this video! Many thanks for sharing. Please make some more!!
Some kids rig them up with "ryckspärr" where the car have a normal gearing and if the car gets pulled over you just pull a little string and it conveniently locks the gear-selector to the low gears. It's a bit risky though because if they are caught going too fast the cops can do a thorough inspection of the car and possibly confiscate it.
The newer builds doesn't require the double gearbox either, they can be electronically limited (which of course opens up for quick disengages of the limiter...). I've seen Porsche Cayenne's, huge Dodge Ram's and shit being registered as A-tractor's.. Even saw a company converting a Volvo V90 (previous taxi) to an A-tractor the other day.
Reuben needs to build a Volvo pick-up as a practice car, something with the right amount of power that can be left in Sweden to go ice drifting. Please make it happen!
Manuel Orlandi pick up Volvos were actually built like that because back in the day the regulations for the ”a-traktor” pretty much demanded them to be like that
Holy shit thats a Formula Drift spec engine jesus christ. I've seen international professional cars run in FD japan with less attention to detail, performance, and just general care. Shit sounds so cool as well, sounds unreal, like something out of a NFS game
I have a Volvo 740 with a t5 engine, full lock kit, cage, fuel system, coilover and more which I have been building for the past 7 years. It’s in Ireland if yous want a look 👀
It was only 2-3 weeks ago that I discovered your first video... I loved it and then saw how many videos I still had to watch.. but... sad times.. I've just caught up to your last video. 😭. I guess I'll wait for the new ones like everybody else does. Haha. Seriously love your stuff guys. It's so good. Funny and informative 😂. Fuck off!
It's pretty funny to see people from other countrys look at Volvos! Drift build like that is very common and A-traktors is everywere. But recently they changed the rules for A-traktors so you don't have to chop them up into a pickup. So you can see a 15 year old drive around in a Volvo wagon with that sign on the back.
Epa? A-tracktors are a interesting topic; I think originally they mde this a thing after the war when the country was low on farming vehicles. I would be really tempted to chop up my 744 similar to this
Finland is working on their version of the ”EPA”, ”Lätt modifierad bil”. Is going to be pretty much the same exept you have to be 16 y/o to drive and it Will be able to go 60 km/h
When he Said that there are only 5-10 of those Volvos at that power level, he meant the engine not the chassis because it’s really common to swap in different engines.
Atleast this epa seems to have springs in it lol, In Finland (funnily next to sweden) its been on table for awhile we might get "little cars" as in some small shitboxes like Nissan march, micra, sunny etc. to be able to be driven by 15yo's if they are limited to like 45km/h.
like a moped-car then? We have that also in Sweden. They are under different rules to the A-traktor here but function similarly with amount of allowed seats and speed governed to 30km/h.

Iv had 3 740's 2 940's and on my second 850 T5 here in NZ. But that makes me a little weird.. apparently haha
