A virtual $10 if you can tell me who's that is.

**BlueMan** · Aug 11 2007, 03:48pm

It'd be a little more impressive if he had it running at the track and a timeslip. Just sitting there revving it sounds like a VW beetle to me!

Also kinda hard to see, did it have two turbos on there?

D94R · Aug 11 2007, 04:38pm

Yes, Yes it did.

disturbededge04 · Aug 11 2007, 07:31pm

Pretty impressive looking at least.

OutlawRanger · Aug 11 2007, 10:09pm

I posted that a couple days ago in the turbo section. It sounds like an old tractor at idle, in my opinion. I bet hes got some lag, but that thing is probably quick.

DR94 is the guy off of turboford.org and he lives in charleston S.C. can't think of his name right now.

OutlawRanger · Aug 12 2007, 04:06pm

He's selling it for $6000.

Is this supposed to read:
DR94, it is the guy off of turboford.org and he lives in charleston S.C. can't think of his name right now.

????

If not, you've got me as the wrong guy.

Im pretty sure D94R, that how you have it is right. However you both mispelled your (D94R) name you both typed it as "DR94" lol that just struck me as funny.

sorry for the confusion i was in a hurry typing but that was what i was refering to.

450rwhp · Aug 19 2007, 09:18pm

what is the benefit of running a volvo head like that? is it more show,power?

351CRanger · Aug 20 2007, 04:51pm

DOHC engines are generally more efficient/powerful. Same short blocks, one pushrod or SOHC versus one with DOHC head = DOHC wins, except in maybe low-end torque. More valve area, more air can enter and be consumed in the hellish fire that makes horsepower.

D94R · Aug 20 2007, 08:53pm

It makes Torque, TORQUE damnit.

450rwhp · Aug 21 2007, 02:02am

anybody have the build of that motor or is that the same dude from over on turboford?

ncranger05 · Aug 22 2007, 08:41am

in the video comments the guy says hes from charleston, sc so probley the same guy you was thinking it was

ZSK · Aug 22 2007, 09:22am

Any videos of it actually moving?

OutlawRanger · Aug 22 2007, 02:01pm

Different engine dyno'd. Make sure your speakers aren't too loud.

**BlueMan** · Aug 22 2007, 02:38pm

But that's a Volvo engine, not a Ford, right? Kind of hard to tell with all the accessories bolted on and in the way, and not being able to read the dyno sheet.

DaGGer · Aug 22 2007, 04:46pm

is the head a bolt on, i know someone else asked that question but I don't think an answer was presented.

**BlueMan** · Aug 22 2007, 05:50pm

Not without A LOT of modifications - welding on a block of aluminum, filling holes, machining new ones, etc. I know it's been covered in other threads on the subject - if you just do a little reading you'll see.

Thats what I thought after posting, but isn't the Volvo engine a 2.0L?

Wait, maybe it is, ya, I'm pretty sure it is. Darn so close...
But still its somewhat helpful because it shows a that it th head can make some power.
