B230FK camshaft Instructions

Hello everyone!

I'm Stefan from Dresden, Germany. I have a project, a 1995 Volvo 945 FK. I've already remodeled a few things. I need advice on how best to proceed with my conversion. I've already read a lot on Turbobrick. Is the best community on the topic of Volvo! Thanks for that!
All conversions must be as far as possible invisible. The German TÜV does not give approval for performance increases.

My current setup:
- 95er B230FK
- Turbo 15G exhaust housing + 16T intake Side
- Full 3 Inch Exhaust
- 3 Inch Mass air flow sensor
- 440er Injectors
- adapted map
- DO88 Intercooler
- single mass flywheel (Is comming soon)
I'm currently running 20 - 22 psi boost pressure. It runs without problems with a good mixture. How much power do you think I have now?
I'm planning a new camshaft. I want more power in the upper speed range. I would like to continue using the 530 cylinder head until damage occurs (head gasket for example) and then switch to the 531. If I get one. I want to continue using the camshaft later in the 531.
Since the V camshafts are not available, I am looking for an alternative. I'm looking for maximum performance without further changes to the valve train. I don't want to spend a long time searching for rare parts. I just want to buy, install and drive. Which camshaft can I use? How much additional power can the camshaft generate?
Thank you for your help!

Hey Stefan

Here's my old setup which is close to yours. https://turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/b230fk-dynoresults-211whp.352741/

I'm now running a bigger turbo (ebay t3/T04e) at 22psi and an IPD Turbo cam. Not dynoed yet.

I would suggest you the IPD Cam which should pass emission depends on your catalytic converter.
Don't go with a "bigger" cam when you stick to the TD04 Turbos. They run out of steam when your bigger cam starts to move air.

I still have the V-Cam if you're interested.

Somewhere around 200 WHP, maybe it would increase a tiny bit if you lowered the boost a little. 20 psi on that mini turbo is just too much.

Hello,

I would recommend a slightly larger turbocharger (e.g. from KLRacing with a billet compressor) and one of the two turbo camshafts that KLRacing also sell.

I have the turbocharger myself and I will buy the camshaft this year. The setup should be able to achieve 300-330bhp.

Hey Ludi

Don't go with the KL-Racing Cams, when you still have that tiny hotside of the mitsubishi turbo.

I had a TD04HL-20T paired with the KL-Racing T2 cam and was "overcammed". Even though i had an adjustable camgear.
Those Turbos have too much backpressure to deliver in the higher rpm range, where the T2/T3 Cam starts to move air.

Just my 5cents.

Hello everyone!

Thank you very much for your answers and offers. I learned that the camshaft has to fit the supercharger.

Of course I was hoping for an increase in performance, but if the torque is distributed better, I'll be happy too.

I will contact you in a personal message regarding the offers.

Ok, every time I increased the boost pressure, the performance increased noticeably. The next Turboswap is planed for 2024.
