What do you drive /o/?
I have a "sleeper" (my friends call it a sleeper at least) 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo. Mods are GM 490cc injectors, tuned on 19lbs of boost, E85, welded diff, gutted, and some things I know I'm forgetting.
This

And this
Audi A5 S-Line quattro 2.0TDI Manual 177bbps coupé
And a few others but this is my main
>>14102002
Did that get a VW Tick of approval using the Interior cheating device
>>14102065
I don't think GLIs come in diesel m8.
>>14101976
Why the fuck would you take all the comfy out of a volvo? It's not a high school kids wanna be racecar.....wait.
>R Ecu and injectors.
>>14102087
Sorry thought you replied to the other car. It had a full interior when i bought it.
>>14102016
Was thinking of getting this or an S5 for my next car: how's the manual in these and is the steering as bad as everybody says?
>>14101976
Have you had it dynoed?
One of these.
>inb4 "ew gm product"/"ew poorfag"
>>14102098
I have a custom exhuast manifold, ford 9inch rear, Holset HX35, and a Megasquirt 2 sitting in my garage. I just have to take the car apart. and get it moving first.
>>14102113
No I haven't had it dyno'd but I'd say from my butt dyno I'm close to 300 hp or at 300 hp.
>>14102109
S5 Is what u want.
Manual is crap the gear ratios are all wrong, having to change up way to soon
Steering is quite good in comparision to french shit i have and much better than the clk i have,
I would have purchased a 2009 s5
but insurance fucked me over
so went for 2011 spec ed 2.0tdi as petrols and 2.7+ diesels were to pricey on insurance
>>14102115
That's a really shitty car inside and out to be honest family. Yes ive been in one. Yes ive driven it. You're not a poorfag for buying it you just mada a poor choice.
>>14102109
Just too add, 2.0tdi isnt good aat acceleration...
However when i test drove an s5 my god it was fast i wish i could have got it insured.
>>14102115
My car only cost $2800, that was considerably more. I may not be able to call you a poorfag but...
>poordecisionsfag
>>14102128
No way. Those things are rated around 160 stock.
>>14102115
Dad had to drive round in one of these a few years ago as a rental when we went on holiday to america, i personally liked the back seats as they are roomy however i was a kid but i know my dad moaned about it
>>14102133
I never really known what to believe considering some people on /o/ told me it was a solid car and others said "meh". it works though.
>>14102150
STOCK you said it. Mine's not stock. And it's easy to get them to those power levels.
>>14102166
how much did you buy it stock for?
>>14102141
Ive driven a 2.0t and i was thoroughly dissapointed with the handling acceleration and shift response from the tiptronic.
>>14102159
Dont believe anything on /o/. Try different cars for yourself. This board worships shitboxes, how would they know what a good car is? Do more hands on research next time.
>>14102177
$1400
>>14102183
Im going to get it re-mapped soon to edit the gear ratios & a slight increase in MPG and BHP
>>14102195
AKA
Test drive it
Find the most common faults nd see if they've been dealt with in the past
>>14102166
try for mid-200s first. thats enough to 'beat ricers.' :roll:
a 2/7/900 turbo with just intake exhaust and a cam can beat the typical 'ricer.' if thats really your goal, then why waste the time and money to make 300hp and just make 200hp instead?
no one here has created a 300hp, so no one can give you a blueprint. you're going to have to do some actually learning and research. :shock:
but if i may entertain this and benchrace myself, then i'd say make a 16V turbo. http://bertone.wynott.ca/htm/dohc16v.htm
read that webpage. it will tell you exactly how to make a 16v turbo, and if you think that's too much work, then stop dreaming of 300hp. money-wise, you might as well just buy an early 90s M3, it'll cost you the same, and you'll be more stylish.

Ha! I just read that as well
Stock LS1 Dunnydoor
goes hard with 98ron it it only 7.7seconds to 100km/h (it weighs 1.8tonnes and looks like a grandpas car)
Pulls once it gets into second gear though 1st gear tall because 90's gm 4sp
Raped a Porche on the highway first day i got it the look on his face was similar too
>>14102195
I didn't buy the car because /o/ said so i bought one way before that and wanted to know what people thought and that's when i got conflicted opinions on it.
>>14102231
i fell for the LS1/x meme and love it, most reliable engine ive ever had.
Only downside is they dont sound as good as a 4l i6
>>14102231
You actually take peoples opinions on this board seriously?
>>14102241
Not exactly but i have seen some pretty intelligent post. and like i said, i bought the car before i even started using /o/ so their opinions wouldn't have mattered at that point.
>>14102198
Good man. It needs it.
>>14102215
I don't need a 16v head to make 300 hp. I need a came and bigger valves. Slap the HX35 on with a new tune and it would be over 300 hp. It's not a dream. It's simple. I've done my research on how to make that power. Now if I was going for like 500 hp yes I would go 16v but at that point I'd swap something into it.
>>14102214
Basically. You dont how shit a car is until you drive another one.
>>14102231
So how did you end up with that? Are you a nigger?
>>14102291
No, i bought one because a lot of people in my family had similar cars. grandpa had a old cadillac with a ton of miles he bought new, mother had a tahoe with a ton of miles on it she bought new, sister had a regal with a ton of miles on it and so-on. I admired the reliability of those cars even if they were ugly or not as fancy as other choices and it wasn't like i could have bought something more fun for the money i had so i went with what my family had. Don't regret my decision just glad its been reliable so far (drove it across the country on several occasions). Yea probably could have bought a better overall package but its not like i bought a rust bucket.

V6 can sound pretty good but there's no doubt the SS would sound better (in my opinion at least) plus i like big V8 RWD sedans like the Crown Vic and Chevy Caprice
If Ford made a modernized Crown Victoria or Lincoln Town Car i would cream my freaking pants.

you can't make 300hp on e85 with 490cc injectors (unless you run a 5th injector)
>>14103314
>5th injector
What do you mean?
![5th[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4N8wxPl.jpg "5th[1].jpg")
>>14103400
extra injector to stop you running lean
p ghetto but it does the job

You can raise fuel pressure you know...
>>14101976
1995 Jaguar Vanden Plas
4l i6. Faster than a full sized 2-and-a-quarter ton luxury car should be. It's not the supercharged version, but it kicks a lot of ass. 300 ft lbs of torque makes my tires spin for days. The torque curve is ridiculously straight too, Ill try to find the graph. It looks like a prairie. So much comfy to drive and the induction noise is amazing.
>>14103616
yes. how close does say 70psi get you on e85?
>>14103831
It takes 20 - 30% more fuel to run your car on E85.
So if you're going E85 you need to do injectors, fuel pump, lines, and regulator. Your tuner needs to tune your ecu to accept the fuel and more power you'll be making. Does that make sense?
>>14103882
It makes sense, I'm asking how much you can get out of 490cc injectors on E85 with the pressure ramped up like you say.
It doesn't have to be 70psi but it's gonna be around 100% DC to get 300hp.
That's gonna burn your injectors up pretty quick.
Saying that, why do these cunts always quote flow figures at 100% when you're supposed to run them at 85% maximum?
>>14103905
Okay so my 490cc injectors are 47 lbs/hr with a Wabro 255, and a aftermarket regulator running at 90%. I haven't had a single issue, nor have I ran lean. A lot of it has to do with your tune and a good tuner can make that setup work just fine. Yes I should probably go to 750cc injectors but I don't see the since in it as I have never ran lean. They have to quote figures at 100% percent because even though you're supposed to run them under a certain amount it's still usable at 100%. It's just not going to last as long. So let's say it takes 30% more fuel. Okay, so you're using a little more fuel to make more power. It's honestly worth it at the end. People don't believe that you can do it with my setup obviously. But the car runs every day just like it should. It's science and math. If you can do that. Then you're good.
>>14103929
good tuner somehow making injectors flow more than 100% vs your butt dyno being badly calibrated
which one is more likely?
anyway there are online calculators so if you know your setup you can get a better idea of how much you are making if you like
