plumber60 Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Click HereThe 240's current compressor comes off a 7-liter Volvo truck engine, but he has plans to use an even larger turbo from a 9-liter Volvo truck powerplant. Current output according to the SQR chassis dyno--running 1.95 bar (28 psi) of boost--is 595 hp. He's run upwards of 2.8 bar (41 psi!!) on the street, and currently has the engine rev-limited to 7800 rpm, after a dyno run ending at exactly 9473 rpm instigated an engine-internals catastrophe of biblical proportions.So what'll she do? This mother of all Volvos has only been to the dragstrip once, where it did it's best to liquefy the 225/45-series Pirelli rear tires, but still turned an 11.91-sec. 1/4-mile. More telling is the trap speed, a brisk 122 mph. "With the 7800 rpm rev limit, it works out to 259 kph in fourth [160 mph]...I've never been to redline in fifth, but with that rev limit, it works out to 290-something kph." That's 180-something mph Cossie beater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_edward Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Volvo is much heavier car than a cossie, besides a well tuned cossie could beat it easily. BTW, I am not very good with BHP and the differences between cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
