FCP Euro<\/a> set out to transform a 1995 Volvo 850 wagon into a formidable track car. Taking inspiration from the BTCC 850 race car, they combined their skills and a lot of parts to create the 850 Project<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"Volvo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Volvo<\/a><\/p>\n

The heart of the project is a naturally aspirated 2.4 L B5244S inline-five from a second generation Volvo V70 running on a Hellmoose Performance<\/a> “VolSquirt” MS3 Pro standalone ECU. The motor features ENEM Y21 camshafts, Manley oversized valves, Carlquist Competition Engines<\/a> ported head, custom intake manifold, and BMW S85 V10 individual throttle bodies. A custom 8EightFab long tube exhaust header connects to a 2.5-inch exhaust. <\/p>\n

FCP Euro paired the motor to a M56L five-speed manual transmission. The gearbox features a Sachs 850R clutch and pressure plate, custom flywheel, and Quaife limited-slip differential. <\/p>\n

\"Volvo<\/a><\/p>\n

They improved handling using a C70 convertible front subframe and center brace, Ultra Racing rear subframe brace, Euro Spec V70R rear sway bar, and a Volvo\/Ohlins front strut bar. The wagon’s suspension features C70 control arms, BC Racing coilovers, and C30 hydraulic electric power steering. Up front the company improved braking with StopTech ST40 four-piston calipers in front with Brembo 330 mm rotors. <\/p>\n

On the inside FCP Euro installed a set of Sparco Evo seats with six-point harnesses. In front of that is a Sparco R383 steering wheel with a custom four-point roll cage protecting everything. <\/p>\n
