Volvo 480 Club Europe

There are quite a few fuse layout produced by Volvo for the 480.
So better check all the fuses.

If you change the complete system over (sensors, ECU and injectors etc) then it might be possible.
Although the Renix does both fuel and ignition. Bosch used till the motronic always seperate modules for ignition and fuel.

A soldering iron is not that expensive

A 2 liter is a good choice. It is also the most affordable one. My build list would be: Chassis -seamwelded body -350mm steering wheel -std power steering rack and column -std pedal box -front and rear strut brace Body: -grp bonnet -removed carpet, removed sound deading, headlining , consoles -remov...

Well the 480 should have a benefit in CoG, but the BMW E30 has almost 25 years of racing pedigree. So dont expect to drive the BMW's into the woods with a slammed down 480 :lol: Still I think that turbo with 220-240hp is enough with 900kg to be a front runner. (I assume it is coorect that the E30 M3...

Perhaps you can connect externally the injectors with 12V and some resistors. Then you could see if the spray pattern and flow are OK.
Or get the injectors ultrasonicly cleaned.

Good luck!

Best is to contact (by phone) Renault Sport in France, as far as I know they still stock parts for the F3R FRS engine. Otherwise any engine builder involved in formula renault can help your in the direction. I see that the competition for the 480 Turbo would be the E30 M3 and the VW Corrado/ Vento V...

What's FN 5417?

You can rebuild the B20F to Formula Renault specs, which means 175hp. I t would involve headwork, cam, custom chip and a exhaust. To get 280hp reliable from a Turbo costs a lot of money. You would need 25-30psi to achieve this. So a standalone ECU is needed as well as a bigger turbo. And then the ne...

There is some info here as well.
But then the discussion was about Siemens-Bendix/deka injectors for the B18E.

There was a Volvo 480 active in the predessor of Belcar (belgium race class)

I dont know about the homologation of this car.

I'm curious

Hi,
Thanks for all your photos!

I would love to see some detail shots of the interior, though

Stay tuned

The 480 I drove had parts of 1986 october/november and was registered in jannuary 1987.

Thanks!

Although, Im not sure I can accept the january suggestion.
That would be hopeless, even with lots of photoshop applied to it.

I posted a while ago in the tuning section about a plugin device that could enrichen the mixture when running on e85.

Very nice pics!

I like the focus of chriskay's pictures especially.

Interior details are also welcome

Keep them coming!

Yes, very nice!
