1987 Volvo 740 Turbo intercooler review from Malaysia
"I don't think any other makes can match it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Waste-gate actuate too early, causing too low maximum boost. Had done own modification and now max boost set to 0.4bar.
Change engine driven to electric radiator fan.
Other than that everything else is tip-top condition.
General comments?
Fantastic performance and comfortable car, not many makes that I had owned BMW 525, Peugeot 405, Ford Telstar V6 can matched it. Powerful Smooth engine and auto transmission. Real comfort that give safe feeling to all occupants.
Make you feel like piloting a jet fighter, it just take off majestically at any traffic light.
For long distance travel consume only 8.25ltr/100km at speed 110km/h.
