CASHEYE Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 You know when you were a kid and you saw someone do a magic show... maybe pull a rabbit from a hat or whatever.. and when you asked how they did it the only answer you got was 'magic'. So you'd go home and try something and hope that if you wished hard enough that the trick would actually work... That's kinda my life every time I open the bonnet of my 960 hoping to see a stonkin' supercharged LSX under there... But all I end up seeing is this red block 4 banger that's doing my head in with all the little things that keep going wrong. These v8 swaps keep me up at night.

Chris Wilson Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Nothing wrong with the old redblock, the stuff for them, brand new, is awesome. 450 + reliable horsepower is no problem. Not cheap, but no problem. Axle needs sorting first though, or you will have snapped halfshafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it's a fantastic motor, when it's running as it should I'd bet good money it's faster than my NA supra. I've got a power issue at the moment which has been on going. I paid £350 for it, less than it cost me to replace the front calipers/discs/pads. I have to admit, I have almost completely fallen out of love with the supra since buying the Volvo. Seeing Sheefa's the other day was a treat though. What companies produce performance parts for the B230? I only know IPD from seeing their 16v head swap.

Oh my, start here: Scroll around, from custom 3.4 litre 4 cylinder engines (heads / blocks / cranks), to OE parts. just bought a brand new last gen block, more goodies as and when the wife's away.... http://www.shopmotordesign.se/mds-red-engine-c-5.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
