Volvo project

[Brickdrifter]

Ok, it's about time I introduce my project.
As I have been drifting for almost a year now, I've made some progress with my modded 244 from 1977.
Suspension is home made. Just bought some lowering springs, some angle grinding , Koni yellow's and some big sway bars and I'm drifting in the top 16 of the Belgium driftseries. The engine was taken from a chiptuned 740 Turbo. Approx. 180whp made this setup.

But... for some serious twin drift battles I mis a bit of power.

So with the awesome help of Rob from http://www.phattransmissions.com/ I'm now in the progress of tuning a new engine with VEMS. This engine management is awesome! Although some help from more experienced persons is sometimes required. Thx Rob for the help.
Hoping for 250whp from this setup:
2100cc, port and polished head with slightly bigger outlet valves, GrA Turbo (.60,.63) and bigger IC .

What do you guys think?

Good to see another VEMS drift car out there...
240bhp is just the start, theres plenty more power in that engine, the Swedish boys get +500bhp from those Volvo engines
When are we going to get that thing on a coilpack running wasted spark?

We do not need huge powers in the driftcars, just good pilots running it.

But approx. 300bhp is a must for a 2750lb heavy car.

I'm hoping to get the fuel in order for the next round on 22the July @ Circuit Zolder.

I've got to send you another .msq file Rob.
