My mate has an old volvo estate, low pressure turbo, rwd, running on cooking oil. He's been reading up about them then cranked the boost up, it's an animal!

I seem to remember the 340/360 /440/480 range are all FWD thought ...

A mariage between Renault and Volvo that didn't last long ...

Gave birth to the V40 range ...

Anyway, they're cheap and nice (when you turn sixty) ...

The wife before whe was a wife had a 340 and I'm sure it was rwd. But I only drove it once

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Congratulations on your win...

340 and 360 are RWD; 360 has 2.0l engine not sure what make.
440 and 480 are FWD and there indeed were versions with a 1.7l from Renault.

I had a 480 1.7 ES, was a fun car to drive.

Dazed and Confused....

since were on the topic of volvo's I've actaully just bought a clio 16v (same as a williams but with a 1.8 ) and it has a 480 turbo engine in it - was based on the clio rsi so it fits straight in. Good fun, with a richmodded ecu 170 - 180bhp.

Altough I might be to forgiving for their products, this 1,7 L turbo engine from Renault is not their best.

Weak point seems to be the pistons.

Head is flat too wich doesn't help finding alternative pistons.

If the engine was good, why didn't he make it in the Renault range ?

In standart trim they are 120 cv and it is said one should better tune the 1,4 (also 120 cv in phase 2 ...)

Anyway, I digress : RWD 2,0 Volvo, I keep hearing "TURBO, TURBO, TURBO" !
