What's funny is this was the family wagon of choice for my parents in the 90s. I'm almost tempted to build a car like this for the nostalgia and a laugh.
I bought my 1995 940 turbo estate for £850 145,000 miles. Fitted boost gauge £34 manual boost adjuster £36 the stock fuel injection will learn up to 12psi so no need to change . 100 psi chemical pump £70 adjustable pressure switch £37 got an injector from a breakers from a 1300cc fitted just before the throttle body chem resistant piping 10 ltr bottle filled with pure methanol. Run at 12 psi boost methanol injected from 6 psi boost over 250 bhp for just over £1,000 and a bit of simple piping and wiring all stock parts will take up to 350 bhp with no problems.
I have an 88 240 gl and a 1990 240. Both grey - I wish I kept my 91 5 speed too -'I should not of sold it for 1700 4 years ago. Worth so much more. I love em - a lot. Even tho wires and radiators and suspension - spent a fortune on the 88. So how can I ever sell lol. I don't care abt the insurance - I'm keeping!! Both.
Even a ballpark number would be nice...I agree. Even if more context would be needed to fully understand where the money went (ie durability, longevity, power) it'd give a bearing on what you get for X dollars.
How many HP can you get out of the stock B230? The 531 head with VX3 cams gives it 131, what else can be done to the stock engine using "normal" parts and how many HP can you achieve without making it a completely different engine?
Men de motorerna är väl knappast trimmade med standarddelar? Jag tänker en vanlig B230, inte någon monster-rallymotor där man har bytt precis allt, krängt på någon icke-originalturbo, etcetera.

That would be an absolutely brilliant car to own.

Thats cool!
28 mpg is better than my 86 240GL wagon got (18-20mpg) & it has over 360lbft of torque!

+TheAbsorbant Dont know the max output but Ive seen rally N/A engines with 300+ hp
