Hej,har varit hos s a m och dom har inget kvar av dom gamla grejorna, tyvärr. Jag har r-sport katalog för 340 och 240 från 70-80 talet

They installed here some little modified R-Sport kits on 300-series also. Our GL is R-Sport kit installed at Volvo dealer. But with Weber 32DAT turbo carburretor etc... So it differs a little from basic kit.

Text in english:

"Hollow growl of the turbo engine and a turbo badge at the tailgate. You have 40 more horsepower in your use for quick acceleration. Turbokit doesn't only mean extra speed. Exhausts sounds are more quiet and there is noticably more torque available which means that car is more powerfull. You'll be less likely to notice any decrease of acceleration with big load or when pulling a caravan. Turbo raises the max speed of Volvo to 190km/h. That is why it is necesary to also install tires with higher speed classification. Volvo has certificated turbokit to all B19A-, B21A and B23A-motors."

Thanks for the translation.

This kit that are on the picture. Do know if any of this kits maybe can be left at any volvo dealer in Finland? Or from which volvo engine car the exhaust manifold is taken?

[Fuse]

Not available from dealer but there are occasionally some kits being sold at this finnish Volvo forum. I'm not 100% sure but I would say that exhaust manifold is same as 240 turbo exhaust manifold.

I saw your red 360 GLTurbo. Really nice! Did you buy it with the turbo engine?
Its say 360 Turbo on the registration paper? And how much nm and hk has it?

Here in sweden it not legal to have more then 130hk/170Nm. But if it okey to have more effect in 360 in Finland maybe Finnish Volvo have paper on how much the 300 can handle.
It could open a hole new opportunity for 300 tuners in sweden. If we can prof that 300 serier can handle more then 230 nm. Then its legal to take a b230llt engine from a 940 turbo. The b230llt gives 135hk/230nm standard.

Thanks! It already had a turbo in it when I bought it. With current legislation we also have a limitations to about 130hp. You are allowed to increase 20% your motor power with turbo but my car was turboed before the law was changed so those laws doesn't concern my car. We don't have torque limitations though. Only power. Turbo is marked in the registration paper and there are no power limitations marked. Just letter "A" which comes from a Finnish word "ahdettu" (turbocharged.) If I would add a turbo now I would have to dyno the car and prove that power hasn't increased more than 20% and the power would be marked to the registration paper. Of course many people run their cars with  low boost at the dyno and after it is checked by the MOT-inspector they turn the boost up.. Also it is kinda hard here to add a tubo in a car which is registered -92 or later because it would have to meet very strict emission standards and tests for those cost something like 1000 euros or more. But that's not a problem for us who are tinkering with pre -92 cars.  I don't know exactly how much it does have power because I haven't dynoed it yet. Currently it lacks a bit power because there is a major leak in exhaust manifold so it takes long to build up pressure. I have pretty much just been replacing parts and doing normal maintainance work because it seems that previous owner wasn't too interested about keeping the engine compartment clean or replacing bad wires and hoses etc... I will dyno it when I get all basic stuff in good condition and an intercooler.

Pimping the B19 R-Sport kit  



I also have the K cam, but not the exhaust. It's going on the B200K later this year, then while I'm getting bored of the extra power, I'll be building a new monster NA motor (top secret!). Eventually I want a B230ET, but I can't insure anything with a turbo until I'm older.
