Hey guys,
After dipping my toes in the HP water I really want to make more power.
I now have a 940 b230ft squirter with a 16T turbo and bigger exhaust, intercooler, injectors etc.
Now that i'm going to build my Honda cb I have some time to think about the next step for the Volvo.
My intentions for this engine will be somewhere in the upper 400 maybe 500 HP range.
I've read the forums and there is a lot of information (and misinformation) about the best and strongest redblocks.
I'm thinking about a post '89 b230f as a base block as they have less cylinder wear and are easier to find in decent condition.
Is a decent condition b230f up to the task of handeling a lot of HP and boost?
It will probably going to have a tuned 531 with bigger valves or maybe a 16v. Don't know what turbo it will get tho.
