Insane Volvo 940 720HP B230 Swedish Drift Car | Juicebox Unboxed #74 

Its not legal in most european countries to swap such big displacement engine to a car that originally had a ~2liter, I would love a small block chevy or LS in one of my 3 estates.. :c

FourEyePersonal to tune a engine in sweden and still be legal for Streets u can make more horsepower out of a b230 and cheaper then u could out of a ls. Because if u swap a ls, u have to Chance pretty much the whole car

@@felixbb1445 LS swapping a 240 is extremely straight forward. It's a basic kit. I'd be willing to bet tons of Swedes would be running them if it were feasible.

@@Mastermindyoung14 I wouldn’t bet on it lol

Swapping engines from other makes should be illegal imo haha

😂😂

It must be nice to have the aftermarket support. Here in the states it's almost nonexistent and what does exist is pricey.

Iv had 3 740's 2 940's and on my second 850 T5 here in NZ. But that makes me a little weird.. apparently haha

You forgot the Netherlands. Most Volvos per capita outside of Sweden.

@@joshbarth9469 even on fcpeuro?

@@joshbarth9469 you guys have yoshifab and a few others

correctamundo

Ha.

Mmm Volvo gravy

I'm surprised anyone could still think that. The US has a typically stupid and trendy Volvo community.

Robert wasn’t a fan of the camera 😅

@@juiceboxforyou The interview was handled masterfully. Keep it up guys.

Instablaster

@@juiceboxforyou Haha *Välkommen till Sverige!* 😄

@@tredfxman ​ inte bara det var säkert en lite högre upp i landet skulle jag gissa

I would gladly trade our E36's to your Volvo's 😂

Irish Wannabe you dumb? who tf wants a volvo (im swedish)

Götberg if you want a e36 instead of a Volvo you don’t drift haha

@@MrCoconutMadness Why would anyone want a e36 when 240 wagons exist

This exact car in The video, without any modifications would be worth to a good buyer maybe 2500$ (USD) in sweden. But you can get a decent one for as low as 200-300$. So imagine being able to get a RWD car for 200-300$. If u weld The differential u instantly have an ok working Drift car. And say u spend 200$ more on ECU tuning and higher boost (boost is free on 940, u can get 2 bars from original 13C turbo, but bygger turbos have more displacement ofc)..

only og volvo people know him

@@TTURBOVOLVO what happened to old Bamse ;(

@@xsduprwd3937 He started posting stuff again if you haven't already seen

@@perpetuallystoked I haven't, but will check it out now. Thanks!

What does one of your insane heads cost? Beautiful craftsmanship and engineering masterpiece 👌

ha! i visited you once in your shop about 10 years ago, still got the overboost stickers on my 945 ;)

The Momo Show he drives orginal volvos unlike this dude

@@alexanderlindh3557 Well he had an N/A build, and he's gonna rebuild it using a stroker crank out of a Penta. And now he's got a 450hp one with 231 head ported by Dennis Blom and BMW ZF transmission (also prepped by Blom), it's got enough power that it's lifting the head. He's also been modifying knuckles since day 1 to get the best self centering. So, I wouldn't exactly say he drives "original Volvo's" 🤣 Also, most Scandinavian 800hp or whatever B230 builds are mostly only shown on RU-vid getting tested on long straights in forests, maybe a few burnouts and thats about it, not exactly what you'd call "drifting" 🤣 And since he's been bashing on one Volvo or the other pretty much non-stop, he's gotten quite good, in Scandinavia we barely do one roundabout or something, Driftnlifts does on-ramps, off-ramps, entire sectors etc, with original and modified Volvo's, IMO he's pretty next level vs MOST Scandinavian Volvo drifters in so far as content and driving skill. Not to detract this build of course, pretty sure it gets shoved sideways, and the driver/builder is certifiably nuts (as it should be).

David Johansson intriguing

thanks for the explanation. I wonder if that "trick" would be possible in my country too. looks like fun.

Yup, originally it was for farmers kids to have a way to get around for work and now they act as speedbumps all over Sweden.

Ooooh yes

Some kids rig them up with "ryckspärr" where the car have a normal gearing and if the car gets pulled over you just pull a little string and it conveniently locks the gear-selector to the low gears. It's a bit risky though because if they are caught going too fast the cops can do a thorough inspection of the car and possibly confiscate it.

The newer builds doesn't require the double gearbox either, they can be electronically limited (which of course opens up for quick disengages of the limiter...). I've seen Porsche Cayenne's, huge Dodge Ram's and shit being registered as A-tractor's.. Even saw a company converting a Volvo V90 (previous taxi) to an A-tractor the other day.

Batman that’s sneaky!

A6 Jönköping looks like a fun time

here his channel. worth the view. ru-vid.com/show-UCC0Sb_RnNaSDCsB_5E30R7Q

True but don't have to cut them up tho. We can just leave the cars how they are. Just change the gearing etc. And put a plate on it.

Well, the rules have been changed if I'm not mistaken. Since the T (tractor) licence has been brought back to 18 years. But we still have those annoying 45kmph cars

Have you more info of the modification to fit the sr20 ati damper of the b230 ?

Would be cool to check it out sometime

Nice one I have a volvo 940 it was my grandads he got it from new

Manuel Orlandi pick up Volvos were actually built like that because back in the day the regulations for the ”a-traktor” pretty much demanded them to be like that

Tiktok volvo's

*used to be different. They are trending right now and every hoeboi drift kid hipster is getting into them and eating up the market.

Thats pretty interesting, cheers for the comment. Sweden does it on another level!

#Vågravägra16v

Because there isn't any? Lol

Same here, they Are called a Kei car btw

Die dinger sind aber echt schwul im vergleich zu nem LoLvo :D

like a moped-car then? We have that also in Sweden. They are under different rules to the A-traktor here but function similarly with amount of allowed seats and speed governed to 30km/h.
