De-tuning the 745T 700 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be broken login guy on  Sun Dec 8 08:10 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi.

I finally gave up on my long quest for a normally aspirated 745 with M46 or M47.

Instead, I settled on a 1987 745T. It is all refreshed with lots of new bits. Sold to me by a top-rated Volvo factory trained tech. Good car, and the price was way less than one would pay to have a beater car refreshed as this one.

But I don't really like the performance of the car. It is WAY too fast for me.

I know it will get me in a lot of trouble with the police. That's why I was looking for the 114hp version.

Everything I see on the 'net tells me how to make a Turbo car faster. Nothing to make it slower.

Aside from changing the pistons and removing the turbo (effectively creating a B230F), are there things I can do to make the car slower?

Can I make a wastegate adjustment for less boost or something? Any other ideas?
