One nasty ride y'all. It checks all the boxes for a great party. I've been in a couple of 1000+hp cars and on the street that were impressive but at a point they become 'slow' on non-prep because they are struggling for traction. That Volvo doesn't wrinkle the tire, she wrinkles the pavement. Goes to show that you don't have to make 2000hp to be the big dog on the porch.
@@tiagoabreu4107 pistons are way cheaper than imports. I've spent close to 700 on a 4 cylinder forged pistons, rods are 600, ls crankshaft can handle close to 1000hp when setup correctly
I tought it's Gingium's wagon when i saw the video alert, this is "a bit" extreme than his :D I love station wagons, especially Volvo's. Thanks for the video, you are the best!
@@shermanelliott5730 his isnt weak by any means considering he really hasnt pushed the car to its max limit. and it can easily make more power than this wagon. only reason you can say its weak is the fact he has a manual transmission
Having worked at an airport, I saw that turn signal in most of the vehicle I drove there, from the bag tugs and belt loaders to the big pushback tow tugs
I've been glued to TH-cam for forever now watching all the usual suspects in a few different categories and I just realized you have the best channel on youtube
Every video that you make you raised the bar …. I think you passed the bar . The intros are like trailers to movies 🎥 . Wrap the video team in bubble wrap. Keep up the good work
The Volvo has a solid body ,that's why it can handle all that torque the engine puts out. Sleeper wagon ultimate no one knows until it to late. The Volvo gone in a flash. Thank for sharing the awesome video,autotopia.👍
Griffin's just on another level hey. Blokes brain is running a second or two faster than that car is. He anticipates every wiggle, each wheel lift, he knows exactly what's about to happen and responds with no effort or surprise. Man could dodge a bullet I reckon.
Dang that Volvo is nutty as hell. It must be exhilarating until it becomes mildly terrifying. But, Griffin is a professional driver...until it gets mildly terrifying. I have the most fun watching you with those cars.
Always love how you showcase the car. The sheer violence of that blower and the whine. To see the thing squat and just want to move like that. LOL and its a "grocery getter". Amazing job as always.
Lmfao!!!! Love it!!!! Wagoon!!!!!! Always wanted to build a wagon sleeper, wish i never sold my old Chevy wagon now!!!Great build dude....fricken awesome!!!!
As an avid Volvo enthusiast I'm dying to see this one. It must have a conversion which is too bad, but I get it, there's no way to make 1200 hp out of a Volvo engine.
You've had a lot of awesome vehicles on your website, but I think this one is definitely number one on that list. A Volvo station wagon?! Drop the clutch and hang on!! He needs to add some wheelie bars and a drag chute on this thing! Wow!! 😂😂😂😂
Awesome show, I'm going to look up the other videos you did with this car builder guy. I had a friend that had an old, tired Volvo station wagon. He would love this video.
I love that he left the hubcaps up front lol, I’d probably carpet the inside just to make it look more non racecar appearing and try to polish up those headlights but other than that, you couldn’t ask for a more fun daily driver , awesome video Shawn 👍🏼love your channel bro ,keep it up
G'day, I currently own a 92' 740 turbo wagon looks exactly like this only wish to God it looked like this 1 LOL this thing is insane... I wish I had the $$$ to do the exact same not to be that copycat auto guy keep up the good productions and speed safely out there.
That turn signal switch is an aftermarket generic 12 volt switch assembly that has turn and emergency signals with lighted indicators made to be installed on old cars that didn't have factory turn signals or brake lights and also to replace broken turn signal switches on old cars that were originally 6 volt that have been updated to 12 volt and the switch had to be updated but 12 volt weren't available to fit in that old car. I'm talking cars from Model T through the 1940s and some 1950s. I've installed a few of those back when I was doing auto electrical. There are or were, a set of lights that you could buy that was just a sheet metal rectangle box with a 90° bracket to use for mounting and it's face has two yellow triangle shaped pieces of glass on the outside edge of the face and it has an oval red piece of glass in the center and that was for the running lights. It was made back in the day to be added to cars that didn't have any lights from the factory which were options in the 19 teens through the 19 late 30s pre war cars, trucks and farm vehicles. I have one in storage somewhere still.
abou the electric trottle bodies vibrating and shutting off : maibe it helps if you link them together , at least the vibration should be dampened as they need to vibrate in sync and both servos work as hard to stop it
Glad to see it doing it’s thing. Proud to be a part of this build
Want to build another one

Outstanding work Jeff. I can really appreciate the work when it looks awesome without being painted or plated or all ground down.
@@Green69Fish It seems like Jeff does not answer coments
Nice to see a fast volvo outside Sweden 😁
US liked them better then EU people !
EU needed small FIAT only ?
That blower whine is the stuff that dreams are made of
Gopro on the nose plus audio is an amazing shot
It’s very addicting, lemme tell ya!
sorry can't hear you WEEEEEEEEEEEE
Something you don’t see everyday. Love the unique build!
Very unique and it obviously works well
Probably my favorite build this year!!!
this Car is still in NFS !
Tha best Family car on TURBO !
As a Volvo technician I couldn't be more excited. I would have gone with a built twin turbo Volvo 3 liter straight six but this is simple and awesome.
Not even close to this much power. But I love the t platforms have owned like 9😊

Triple A+ editing. Clean clean clean. And that a nice ass Volvo too!
That Volvo is angry! Absolutely awesome build!
The turn signal is one that is a universal one used in older trucks. Like dump trucks & tractor trailer stuff from the 50's
Having worked at an airport, I saw that turn signal in most of the vehicle I drove there, from the bag tugs and belt loaders to the big pushback tow tugs
Did I just see a wagon pulling wheel on the street lmao 🤣 unreal !!
Right?! Crazy ride
Pulling the wheels? At what timestamp?
My kind of wagon hey thanks bro have a great ester sunday with your family ok later
That was a fun show. I'll have to look up the other 3 episodes with Griffin!

Wow!! Thank you for saying that. I love what my team does! Thank you!
@AutotopiaLA Thank you brother! You're Doing a great thing straight talk real driving no gimmicky b s.👍
What a Gorgeous, Gorgeous Car!
Thanks for showing it

Now that's a real "flying brick"
Holy crap!
That burnout was like a funny car!
That's a white knuckle E ticket ride, for sure.
So bad ass.
i saw him racing at Irwindale a couple weeks ago.. 🔥wagon
That thing is nasty!
Holy s-t!!! Freaking out of bounds!!
This is what makes America Great the freedom to decimate all. I haven't seen a lousy build yet hats off gents!!
Great intro Guys. Imagine this Volvo with mummy late with kids to school🙂 But seriously this car is scary in every dimension. Great episode. Greetings
I love wagons. This one's a monster. Glad to see you are doing well Shawn after your accident. Keep that harness on brother.

Sleeper wagon? I’m not sure I’d call anything with slicks in the back and a monster throttle bodies sticking through the hood a sleeper.
The full cage is doing a lot of work for handling torque, I'm sure
Been waiting for this one!!
It’s a fun one. I’ll be watching with you guys later
Dude, I have watched a bunch of your vids and all good stuff! I laughed a few times with this one.. thanks

Griffin has the perfect combo of instant big power and streetablity wrapped up in cool Volvo wagon!!
I grew up in this car, the Volvo Polar Turbo !
Best car at school dropoffs, and on the block too !
I really like this one. Thanks for sharing.
Same for me. Fun time with Griffin and his Volvo

I know someone back in the days strip down a Fox Mustang & swap the 5.0 5spd powertrain in a Volvo Wagon. It fits perfect.
yeah, Paul Newman lol
The old foxbody v8 fits onto the Volvo motor mounts.
Volvo engine bays are very spacious, I remember seeing a dude who fit a Viper V10 with twin turbos in a Volvo 242.

Great car, great video.
Awesome just awesome..👍

Definitely one of my favorites
Ain't nothing cooler than a wagon!
#wagonmafia 😎
Only the Volvo Turbo please !
@lucasrem Nope! You have to include the Vagon and Bbody wagons too.
realy a turbo s all wheel drive please . unique car nice build.
With that type of intake, how do you keep dust and debris out? I don't see any filters.
Crazy cool 😂 no late deliveries 😂 go get the milk, ok give me a second 😅 awesome stuff Sean👊 Cheers 🍻🇦🇺🤝🇺🇲😎👍
Exactly! Can’t be late in this one
Was that blower noise or Sean screaming 😱 in fear haha. Just kidding Sean
If you could retrofit some rear Volvo hubcaps and make a retro hood scoop, this would be perfect! 🤟
Read my mind .some 22" case super turbos would make it superquiet
All it takes is a special type of crazy to build some of the most awesome machines
Watching from Australia. Big thumbs 👍 up . The driver drives like an Australian.🤪 Drive like you stole it I say .😜
That Volvo knows how to fuck
lol!
This car is just violent 😄
This build reminds me if the 7 second tan wagon on sick week. Wish never got rid of my 86 240 wagon but with 460k miles it was a little tired
13:57 Anyone know what that wagon is on the lift?
That ain’t your Daddy’s Volvo! Holy smokes!
No doubt! Such a wild “daily driver”

Injection is nice but I'd rather be blown!
This Volvo proves that thought.

AMAZING VIDEO;THAT VOLVO IS OVER THE TOP!!!!!!!!FROM PUERTO RICO!!!!!!!!!!
That is soo sick
When you absolutely, positively, have to get the kids to soccer practice on time.
😂😂😂
Needs to hit up BNE Dynamics for that front suspension work, they make tons of parts that would be sick.
That is really an awesome car. Believe it or not there’s a drag and drive Volvo wagon that is very similar to that’s runs 6s in the quarter.
All I gotta say is. DAYUMM !!
Love that car, looks awesome and that sound,wow❤❤
Bad to the bone!!
Love cars that hook not spin! That lifts the front end harder at 35-40 than a lot of cars do from a dig
Now this is cool
Fun ride !!!
“Hey honey, do you mind running to the store?” “Sure babe, I’ll take the LS swapped volvo, you know, the grocery getter”

Some discreet hood scoop will be perfect fit for this car to more sleek look😊
Looks badass! But how do you prevent the bugs and all sort of road debris from getting sucked into that blower? Couldn't that cause harm?
More GOGO in a Volvo!
