LSx Turbo RX-7 vs Turbo LQ4 Volvo

LSx Turbo RX-7 vs Turbo LQ4 Volvo  

From the Volvo owner:

Car is a 83 volvo 242. I had the lq4 and was looking for a chassis to put it in. Came across the car for 400 bucks and sold the drivetrain for 300 so basically got it for 100 bucks. Motor is stock less a ls9 camshaft, upgraded valve springs and pushrods. Trans is a th400 that I bought off Craigslist. Converter is a ptc unit they built for my setup. Rear is a ford explored unit I narrowed that has stock 31 spline axles, traction lock diff, and freeway friendly 3.08 gears. Rear suspension had double adjustable coilovers and adjustable geometry. Front suspension uses sn95 mustang struts and spindles with single adjustable strange struts. Fuel system uses a single walbro 450 and Subaru Sti injectors that I decapped myself. Car runs on e85 and is non Intercooled. The engine is controlled by a 250 dollar megasquirt ecu that I built and tuned. Turbo kit is all eBay parts ,gt45 turbo and Godspeed 50mm gate and bov. Car was built on a very low budget but gets the job done.
