I think one your channel's greatest qualities is that you dont play stupid music the entire video and you actually capture the raw footage. Keep it up.
Tuning tip no1 on old redblocks: Replace the fan with an electric one. The stock fan almost works like a rev limiter. You can really feel the difference, especially when upgrading the cam for more high rev performance. I'd guess around 10hp worth of power you waste on cooling you don't need. :-) You might need some big washers on the waterpump pulley when you remove the fan, or if possible keep the fan base. Otherwise Its common for the waterpump pulley to break as it can start to flex.
I happen to have experienced the same. 🙂 So in addition to my 7 year old advice: The pulley is just stamped metal and the studs threads are too short to actually fully tighten the pulley, you think you did get it tight but it is only the nuts bottoming out, the pulley is actually still loose. Use washers or preferably reuse the center of the clutch fan. Sorry if my advice has killed your waterpump pulley. 😞
@@daw7563 The pulley survived. I just got new studs and nuts. Used a bunch of locktite and washers and everything still works. Running a turbo converted B230F with about 1 bar t04 turbo so it rips :)
@@cesarhanshoff2741 Funny, on mine the studs survived but the pulley cracked open. Sounds like you have a really fun Volvo, I regret sellilng mine. I run newer volvos now, good cars but they are not as fun as the older ones.
Just did my second event ever at Castrol raceway! Just wanna say your channel is da bomb and your great motivation for drifting. Would love to make it out to BC some time soon.
Love the +100 EXP walltap lol. You should rip the dash and everything out of one of these things and ziptie the cluster onto the brace behind it if that's possible
8 years ago I did my only drift event at Agassiz with nearly new tires at stock psi in an open diff, stock N/A FC3S just to prove it was possible before I started modding. I even had sticky 5th/6th ports for a loss of top end power. I'd say it ran around 120hp and had blown struts from some dick stealing it just before the event. It was pretty sweet to drift the bank on an open diff with low power, though I'd never do it again due to the unnecessary risk of losing drift just because of the diff. I really wonder how hard I could have hucked with a lincoln locker and with baldies + bumped tire pressures like everyone else. ua-cam.com/video/3nGcyjP0UuA/v-deo.html I watched my video overlayed with another video of built cars with good drivers and we clear the banked section in the same amount of time. So speed wise I was going as fast as the rest (though with low angle and no real smoke!) In the vid I'm also WOT on the straightaway and have to upshift to third on the straight then downshift into 2nd to drift. Manji wasn't gonna happen with those tires. I also did a shift lock drift which was hairy AF, but I told my buddies I'd do it to prove you could so I was committed. Anyway, glad to see the old spot getting some use. Back in my day that wasn't all paved, it was dirt past the gate. After the event I linked above I had a huge green bruise on my right knee + shin from bracing myself against the center console! I actually still have a built drift car, but I started road racing the next year and stopped paying as much attention to drifting around the time the Drift Safari X Drift Union era started falling apart. I also started converting my Skyline for double duty drifting and time attack around the time Formula D went crazy with all 1000+ hp builds, making an FD competitive car unobtanium for me. Those were the days though, when Ian was trying to topple giants in the states.

I know you made this comment 5 whole years ago, but this is going to be helpful once I get my 240
Yeah I removed the hay fan and my bolts to the water pump pulley broke off. 1 bolt was left holding everything together when I noticed 😅

love the sparks coming from the cords in the tires! and sweet wall tap😂
I think your tires are good for a holiday trip with your family, no problem.👍
I have now volvo 740 b230f but i put turbo now 😁✌️ you have 6 years later, so i think i can learn alot from your video’s😁✌️💪

Love the T H I C K N E S S of the ipd swaybars
THICCCCCCCCC
That fuckin backfire though!
make a foot cam video, please.

ahaha im not sure if im ready to go that extra mile . instead i turned it into a truck to save weight
You should engine swap one of your Volvos sometime, some recommendations are b234f, T5 or a 1jz. Love your vids keep it up!
isn't b234f's bottom end shit? b5234t would be better
Nope, its a great engine for tuning. Never heard if anyone having problems with it.
Alebone and yes the b5234t is better but a bit more expensive but if you can afford it i suggest you take that one over the b234f (16 valve)
Got an entire Volvo 850 with a b5234t in it for $400. 180000km on it
Alebone thats sick, how much power is it making? :)
Do all of your cars have cut stock springs? If so, how many coils do I need to cut on a 1991 volvo 940 turbo in order for some decent stance?
3 is the one. Did 3 in the front and 3.5 rear and boy is she stancey
Looks like Mario kart with the sparks coming off the tires

Please link your steering wheel this one looks fire
sick driving dude
why no 240 builds?
That intro clip was straight fuckered good shit
realy great video, #Volvo4life
Nice Skandi flick.
is this auto or standard? considering an auto wagon for drifting and wanna see if it sends.
Is this on the stock diff? I know the manual wagons came with a stupid tall ration like 3.3 or something lol
what's that little switch to the left of your steering wheel? sick video!
Hi was there any angle or suspension mods on this car
Fuckin SICk DRIFTIN!
have you welded the diff in this video or is it stock ? :) you are best
👍👍
Was the diff welded?
Canadian style drifting, hella sweet eh?
I swear the 940 has more than 114 HP
Shit pulls great for a na
What is size on tire and Gold wheel? Silver volvo
If i remember correctly it was a 205/55/15 . Major beef
how can I get in touch with you you seem to really know volvos and I have some questions about mine
Got an na 240
holy shit 360p squad that never happens to me
Krookymonster is it my settings ? or your settings that caused this ?
Its 1080hp now
no no dude it just means I was early af to the video. its all good now. Imma be welding my diff in my 1990 244 soon! n/a manual!
I have the exakt wagon as a tractor in sweden
E A epaaaaaa
she slides thats all that matters
Can i use these clips on My edit
Go for it!
It has 115
116hp**
Klojkee no
Richie Schmidt When Volvo released the b230f engine the commercial always said "med nya 2,3 liters motorn på 116 hästkrafter!"
116 DIN HP (European) is 114 SAE HP (US). There is a tiny difference between US horsepower and EU horsepower.
Klojkee you're right. We should really be worried about that 2 hp that was probably lost a few years after owning the car:)
assuming Canada uses SAE
Thats nothing compared From what u see in Sweden.
