Volvo 480 Club Europe

A rich-modded B18ft in a lil ole' Clio isn't enough power for you?! lol

Any news on progress with the project? I'll happily donate anything needed however having an ES I'm not sure that I have the right components for all you turbo guys!

well just picked up the leather interior and its great fitted easy and i could still see out the rear window , i even reckon you could get 2 more seats in th back. just need to work out ow to get the cloth set out the car now. is there a how to any where on here????? thanks again paul :D :hopping: ...

There is a knack i believe, something to do with magic wands and a top hat I think...

If that doesnt work fold down the back seats and spend several hours trying several different combinations!

Theres a printable dial on the main part of the website somewhere

Try this:

The forum's search function is very useful, type in turbo conversion and should have a load of useful threads.

All good suggestions, i'll try them all and see which works best! Now i just need some 15's, and some decent tyres!

Excellent job Murf! Now all I gotta do is convince the parents (well, mum) that it's a good idea! Otherwise it'll be overdraft for me!

I'm well up for a set of them Murf!

Ignore it. I *think* that this was because when the cars were produced (late 80's), 95 ron was the only unleaded petrol sold and the sign was placed there to stop people putting leaded fuel in it. But i may have just made that up entirely!

Try hunting round the scrappies? Failing that find someone else's parked up 480t and nick it in the middle of the night!

I'm not, but that was through laziness! Really wish I had though, the idle is now lumpier and a lil bit irratic.

There was never one made for the 480. All turbo's come fitted with a small front spoiler, so if you're good with fiberglass (or know someone who is) then you can have that modified and attach a splitter to that. A guy called Aibast on this forum has recently made one for his 480. Check out his threa...

Basically yes. If you want your engine to last as long as possible Shell's V power all the way! If you drive hard it'll work out more economical also. I did a track day last year using 95 and in 3 hours i used an entire tank, i ran another one a few weeks ago and only used just over half the tank! A...

I should breath a lot better and feel more responsive! I noticed loads of difference on the ES so surely the effects on a turbo would be far more noticeable.

Have you tried timing her, 0-60, 60-100 etc with and without the de-cat?

good job! Get those photos up then!

Well they've had the thought to add 4 wheel traction control and a launch system....why they need 4 wheel traction control on a 2WD car (?) I don't know...!

personally for 18 grand i'd rather a hayabusa-engined caterham and spend the rest on a very large boozing session!

now here's a good idea: Dont park illegally!!!!

No probs mate. There are endless cheap ways to mod the B18ft. Scan around the forum a bit and try and get an idea how far you want/are able to take things. Mods range from a simple ecu chip, right up to Rich's supercharger and turbo supermod!
