New to the fuel but not the trade
 

Hey guys, new to the forum here,

drove a buddy's modded 12-valve a few months back and love the grunt/brute force of the engine, so I managed to pick up an 82 volvo 240 estate "lol" its no 12-valve but its diesel.

Im still in the process of learning how the whole injector pump works, and how to tweak it simply for cheap performance.

Recently I picked up a 84 Volvo F613 "F6 series truck" box truck that im going to use to move myself from houston tx to NC, and its lacking a bit in the performance department lol, but thats a whole different thread:

Here's a few quick pics of what ive done so far: home-made turbo kit, no intercooler yet but I blew the head gasket when the boost peaked 40psi, so as you can see, an IC has been moved down the list of priorities lol. head gasket and head studs 1st.

Why is there a compressor housing hanging from the rear bumper? Looks like a HX34 or HX40 housing.
:hi:

:hellox::hellox:

lol, its a HX35W housing,

Its called a tow-hook ornament,

people in the "drifting society" typically hang stuffed animals, or something of that origin... I decided to mix it up with something or character reflecting my car... a turbo housing.... not some hello-kitty doll lol.

Well, at least you don't have "truck nutz". Personally I think the people that have those on there truck are showing the only set of nutz they have....idiots.

BWAHAHAHAH! I agree entirely, there a bunch of "donks" driving around here in NC with those.

I saw a pipe welder rig with 2 actual 2" nuts hanging from chains, I had to give him props for putting a twist on an old idea, but none the less, very played out IMO.

Hood stacks are where its at lol

a way too long video of my 240 wagon, the only interesting thing IMO is the small electrical fire lol. but seeing a hood stack on a wagon is equally amusing.
