Specs

-89 volvo 244-91 Redtop sr20det engine/transmission(stock)-ACT Clutch-93 240sx wiring headlight to taillight.-gutted interior-welded rear diff, solid axle-Walbro 255 pump, modded to volvo bracket-custom 2-piece driveshaft-dual rear sway bars, front not done yet-Srt-4 intercooler-custom motor mounts and transmission crossmember-Inovate wideband, autometer egt

Why did I do this, BECAUSE, i was high on crack(j/k)

I wanted to make a drift car, and I like sleepers. So I bought a rear drive Volvo. The Volvo turbo engine is a good engine with tons of potential, but the 5-speed transmission is crap. My car was N/A and automatic, by the time I would have turboed it with stock parts and bought a t5 and adapter kit to make it hold up to punishment, it would have cost more then the sr swap, when an sr20 came up for sale in my area, the answer was clear. Not to mention I'm a quiet and weird person, so I had to make a point.

















This site has been really helpful with the questions I have asked. Thanks

wicked!!! You know that you can retrofit the S60R brakes to that, right? Go to turbobricks.com and there is a write up.

That is a sweet setup. I was thinking about a RB or 1J or 2J swap at one time.
