Looking for Volvo R-Sport Turbo carb plenum
« on: Wednesday,November 17, 2021, 03:38:15 PM »
Not sure where to post this as it is not a Europa part but I would like it for TCST.

As you may or may not know my Europa was turbocharged in 1975 using a CD-175 carb as a draw through
system. Volvo sold an R-Sport Turbo in Europe with a blow through CD-175 carb. I have an interest in converting my car
to the blow through setup. Does anyone out of the USA know if this plenum ( and possibly carb) is available?
The more I do the more I find I need to do....

Hey TurboFource,
You may want to have a look at the Mini/Metro turbo carbs as well.  They are HIF44 set up for turbos, same size as the CD-175 I believe.
Might be another option and there are parts available for them
Cheers,
Ross
