Re: sim's Volvo 245
I'd expect to get slightly lower VE out of boost, but I guess in boost depends upon your manifold and plumbing. Short runners with tight radius bends would hurt you for sure.

That describes the stock cast iron turbo manifold pretty well.Fred wrote:Short runners with tight radius bends would hurt you for sure.

Re: sim's Volvo 245
Well, I finally got around to installing the engine I bought in 2011.
No more blue smoke out of the tail pipe. No more farty 1980s chevy van exhaust noises. No more
smoke curling up around the edges of the hood.
Once I figured out the decoder offset (that took way longer than it should have), it fired up and
purred nicely.
Unfortunately, it overpowers the tyres or clutch at WOT around 4000RPM.

I'm going to frame that photo and put it on the wall of my new basement workshop.

Awesome! :-)
Get on the motorway and get into 4th and try there. If it slips there it will slip obviously and it will be the clutch. Tyres may spin in tandem with clutch slip in lower gears.sim wrote:Unfortunately, it overpowers the tyres or clutch at WOT around 4000RPM.
