I absolutely LOVE these body style and years and I think over 400 horsepower is the most I've seen from a 230, lately I'm crazy for the white blocks 6 cylinders but thos one is the best flat hood I've seen in a while .. Great Job !!
@@jdcabauwnlHavent been to dyno yet, some small things have not yet been finished on the car. Have not had any stroker B230 before so we will see what it will do. Previous engines have done 600hp 800Nm the most.
@@kaidojoema Did you build does engines or other stroker engine you know. But those figures are just insane. Today installed my kl-racing intercooler. I didn't drive with it because of traffic. Tomorrow I am going to try it out for the first time:) Can't wait to see yours on the road and on a Dyno. Do you run the turbo with an EBC?
@@Tommy-wh9yt Cylinder head specialist who has built and modifyed and flow benched these cylinder heads a lot told that the gain is so small that there is no point.
Why do you re torque the cylinder head 2 more times even before starting the engine? I have had two gaskets fail on me already, maybe I need to try this?
Because this engine is built with fire rings and they need to seat properly between cylinder head and block. Then i tighten in small torque steps to seat the rings and gasket properly. What type of cylinder head gasket you have and in what situation it fails?
@@kaidojoema ahh ok makes sense. I use the original Elring gasket. I have made 350 horsepower at the wheels, and makes it quite easily. But I have had the gasket fail a couple of times. Although I have had the engine really hot all those times, over 100C°…. I’m sure that wasn’t helping the problem.
@@remygardner9273 350whp should be no problem with stock composite headgasket if the tune is good. If the tune isnt so good and you overheat it then it will fail yes.
@@kaidojoema the tune is fine, problem is it’s a drift car, and I’m bouncing off the limiter all day. And going sideways which doesn’t help airflow even though I have a big radiator and massive spal fan. Would temo shouldn’t I go over? 95c°?
@@remygardner9273 Maybe you should try some thermostat with lower temperature like 82’c, I had a drift car for years what got all kinds of abuse and didn’t have this kind of engine failure.

Thanks ✌️
You can get over 1000hp from a red block if you pay enough
Finally a guy that builds a redblock green but keeps the block red to be sure it won't break.
Insane build, but overkill imo. :p
Overkill is still not enough 😅
the cooling system is bonkers!
@@aharvey44 It is!
What an example for am build. Real nice!
Thanks ✌️
I m just starting on my Volvo 940. Nothing special yet. Did you Dyno or what are the estimated torque and horsepower?

Nice video, really well done and cool to see what goes into a nicely built b230.

What modification did you do to the oil pump pick-up? It looks like it was cut and re-welded.
Cut and re-welded the pickup only because the oil sump is modified bigger and little bit lower.
Nice! Will we see it out in the wild this summer?
If everything holds up then yes 😉
Jag håller på med ett liknande projekt. Men istället för turbo vill jag köra lite högre komp och sugis. Sikta på nånting kring 200-250hk med stroker.
@@ASDASD34RDFS Good plan 🤟
Bättre att köra högre komp och turbo 😎
What transmission is in it? I’m doing same build but trying to figure out best tranny for 400hp

Hi, I have an engine with 88mm pistons. Can I convert it to 96mm?
@@hichamhgd5533 No you cant
@kaidojoema thanks
Hi mate, I’m rebuilding a 531 head atm. what made you go with 37mm ex valves as opposed to more common upgrade 38mm? Cheers

What does the coolant collector do vs the stock coolant flow setup?
@@volvoproblems3567 Makes the coolant flow and temperature more even through the engine block and cylinder head.
