A little bit of boost for this cb7!

[cuate01221]

A buddy of mine today, offered me a volvo turbo for free. I checked it out and it has absolutely no shaft play! I figured, if it's free I have nothing to lose! So anyway, I wanna boost the cb7. I have a couple of questions about the turbo though. Is this a t3, t4 style? Will it be any good for a bit more power or should I look into a bigger turbo? Does anybody have any idea what era/car this is from?

There aren't other castings on it besides that?

Also, I'm sure you're well aware of the ramifications of boosting a factory engine, right?

[cuate01221]

There is a number stamped on it but I don't know if it would make a difference. I will post a pic though just in case. And yes I do know about boosting on a stock engine. A long block will be bought soon and built. I just go the boost bug after driving my buddies boosted d16y8 civic

Why would u do an engine build with all that money and time and slap a low power volvo turdblo on it? I mean it is ur car. But u still have to buy so much for the turbo set up and engine.. saving a bit extra for a nice new garret or something just seems.... Worth it. I mean volvo! Come on..

Im obviously going to upgrade the turbo once I build the new engine...... This was a freebie so why not use it for now?

Haha can't blow this one just yet. I need to have the other motor built first :P I will only be running like 7lbs of boost on this turbo. I just need to know what flange style this turbo is! I can find any flanges that are the same as it?

Volvo turbos are either borg Warner or Garrett turbos so its a good piece. But as fro the flange you are probably gonna have to fab something up and find a flange off of a turbo volvo

I'm sure I could fab something up with my friends If we could fit a 2jz in a little mazda pickup, I'm sure we can make a custom header haha Thanks for the info man

What do you guys think? yay or nay?

[mozzandherb]

You can't just slap the turbo on and go...even at low boost you're puting additional stress on other parts of the car, not just the motor...if its your dd its probably not the wisest thing to do
