Easy performance mods 700 1984

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since owning a volvo, not the most popular car here is australia, but I can say now the owner of a 760 turbo with the b23 et. I am fairly certain it has the motronic setup (the one with a crappy air flow meter that has a needle that scratches across a Pcb) can anyone confirm this? Original mitsubishi turbo and block mounted distributor. The car is completely standard setup, what cheap simple mods can i do too get a little more out of it. I was thinking larger injectors, a little more boost, which volvo cam would be best suited. I know there is a wealth of information out there but the number one priority here is budget so little as possible for maximum gain, I'm quite mechanically mind so can do most things myself

Thanks steve

A 1994 760T came with a Garrett T3 turbo, in any market. I would install a G valve and turn the boost up to 10 to 12 psi. Listen for engine knock, and turn the boost down if you have knock. Larger injectors aren't needed for boost up to about 15 psi. If your car has a B23ET, it probably already has an A or B cam. The B23ET should have 9.0:1 compression instead of the 8.7:1 compression ratio of the B23FT

I know little about the Australian Market cars, but a North American Market 1984 760T would have LH 2.1 with a 002 Air Mass Meter.
