Volvo should definitely dip more into the performance/tuner world of the cars and engineering. With the old S60r it would be nice to see something similar in the future. Never owned a volvo but was thinking about one for my next vehicle.

Would the intercooler alone make a hp difference? My understanding of these cars is that the computer tells the engine how much power to make based on the tune you have and an intercooler is mainly going to help with allowing you to drive harder for longer but not necessarily give you more power since the polester tune is going to limit you to ~325hp

My only gripe is with the K&N recommendation. K&N drop-in filters allow for more dust ingestion due to there being larger openings in the filter media (larger holes over the same surface area = less restriction). I would recommend getting a stock paper filter and simply removing the foam meant for intake sound reduction. Some aftermarket paper filters don't even come with it. Aside from that, great video!

@BuiltForSpeed 2 жыл бұрын

I would like to respectfully disagree. The k&n filter if oiled properly will filter dust even better then oem paper filter will. They just need to be cleaned and reoiled properly every 10k miles or so.

Good stuff! pretty much exactly all the mods I have planned for mine. I've been toying with the Tuning though....it sounds like you'd advise doing the mods FIRST, then tune? I was thinking the other way around and then having the tune adjusted once all the mods are done since I can imagine a tune, even stock, would give the most gains, bang for buck overall?

@BuiltForSpeed 2 жыл бұрын

If you will plan on doing mods do them first then get tune. But if you get turbo upgrade then you will need tune before you can drive it.

@BuiltForSpeed Жыл бұрын

Before and after elevate intake manifold/plenum. That after all the rest of the bolt ons were done. But that part alone with tune adjustment gained 20whp and 50ft lbs of torque. I made video on that specifically.

How much HP and torque did your car make stock vs how much it makes now? Maybe make a video showing all the mods you have and how much gains each individual mod got you.

Each individual mod that impossible. But stock these cars make 289whp and 350ft lbs at wheels. At stage 2 i dynoed 350whp and 500ft lbs. And i made few videos on my channel going over my mods. But i can make seperate one just going over stage 2 mods i had and after stage 3 is done i can make one for stage 3 also.

Hey man, older video but I just picked up a 2010 xc70 with the T6 3.0 six, and I’m curious if you know how much additional boost the engine can handle in stock form without drastically increasing the wear on it. I’m considering getting a larger intercooler and inlet pipe kit from do88, additional boost pressure from the stock turbo, a full transmission and differential servicing/fluid change, and a dyno tune for the new higher airflow. I’m not looking to make it a monster, but if the engine can handle it without reinforcing the internals, I would definitely enjoy a moderate ~15% power increase. Just get it down to about 6 seconds flat for the 0-60.

@BuiltForSpeed 8 ай бұрын

Stock turbo you can put all bolt ons on it you want and max out the turbo it still won't be enough to kill the engine. With larger hybrid turbo max boost is about 25-26.

@BuiltForSpeed 8 ай бұрын

And we got out to 4.3 seconds 0-60 with basic bolt ons. Stage 2 tune and 2gallons of e85 on full tank. And no it wasn't tuned for e85 just regulars stage 2 tune.

@ryannafe9252 8 ай бұрын

Awesome, thanks dude. I’ll go ahead and start saving up for the parts and labor to get it all done next year. The XC70 T6 is certainly no sports car, but if I can make her just a little bit stiffer, a little bit more powerful, and put some smaller/lighter wheels and off-road tires on it, she’ll be an unstoppable monster on Wisconsin backroads.

@thatsonebadhatharry8610 Жыл бұрын

I guess that's why you went to a 3.5" down pipe and catback exhaust, more back pressure. You can't have it both ways. You either want less back pressure or you don't. To make the turbo spool quicker you either need to have a smaller turbo or more exhaust pressure pre-turbo and the more heat you can keep in your exhaust to the turbo the better/quicker the turbo will spool up.
