My hachi temporarily mid-engined :)

Look at this bad boy: B21ET volvo 240 turbo engine (155hp, 180 easy with added intercooler).
It's temporarily residing in the hachi until it goes into storage...
In 3-4 months time, beware of the monster granny-volvo 360..

Nice! Your 360 will be damned quick! You gonna fix an LSD as well?

[Ivan141]

If I can find a cheap diff I'm going to weld a 1.4l 340 diff, those have shorter 3.82 ratio (360 has 3.62 ratio diff).
Findin an lsd that will fit is going to be difficult...I have a spare ae86 lsd but I highly doubt that it will fit.

Cool! I bet your 360 will be doing real 360's soon!

Alas, the engine does not seem to be complete...the fuel distributor of the mechanical injection system seems to be missing....
That means we'll have to run the EFI head from the beginning. And if we're doing that we might as well add the intercooler and larger turbo at the same time. Saves us the trouble of redoing all the plumbing in the future and redoing the map.
The block will be run by a megasquirt2 ECU that will normally controll the 20V in the KE25. Just unplug, upload new map and we're ready for a track day.
It will be fun to see how much power this thing will produce. My guess is we'll break the 200hp barrier easily. Not bad for this cheap a project, costs so far:
150E for the engine inc new belts, plugwires, distribution cap, clutch etc and a shitload of misc. parts.
300E for the Megasquirt2 inc. wires, EDIS etc. (but we need that for the KE-25, so it doesn't really count..
40E for the intercooler.
This granny is going to FLY!
