so it took me 5 trips to the junkyard to find the correct Volvo ECU
stripped the last few things I still need off the original 1.8L engine
ported E30 head, Imagineering 287 intake/281 exhaust cam, Ireland rockers & dual valve springs, VAC adjustable cam gear
edit: you can see the original 1.8L in the background
If my math is correct I need a measly 160hp to be as fast as a ZHP... new goal![]()
What kinda HP you expecting out of your new engine?? Great job btw. Enjoy watching your build progress
