Performance with a 16 valve... 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Turbo Wagon on  Thu Jun 30 09:52 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The 16v engine with a manual transmission in a wagon is an extremely rare combination. If you're interested in speed, you'd have better success finding a Turbo wagon with a manual transmission and doing some modifications -running more boost with more fuel, less restrictive exhaust, etc. As mentioned elsewhere there are plenty of modified Turbo Volvos out there and info on Turbobricks.com. Even a stock 740 Turbo will be faster than the 16v naturally aspirated motor...and you would have no trouble finding someone who wanted that unmodified 16v 4+OD wagon.
