Volvo has the reputation of being the tame, safe family car but there is nothing TAME about this beast... Connor has done it right. What do you guys think?
@@PD-pg2il lol I was only mentioning his turn radius because of how legitimately shitty turn radii on Volvos are. This is not opinion, or meant to piss anyone off. Simply put, this is factual information.
My buddy has a manual R making around 400 wheel and it truly is a force to be reckoned with. He’s outrunning pretty much everyone that isn’t driving a Camaro or mustang around town.
Hilton Tuning for the win! running a stage 2 in my 02 t5 and shit was so worth it! Robert Hilton is a great guy as well with excellent customer service
Soooo true about what he said "its unique and pple are confused when they see a volvo r"..I have owned a bmw 3 .. my new r smokes the 3 stock!..I love it!..
When i bought my S60 I thought it was broken somehow. Seller thought so too. Turns out they come with that amount of camber, especially if you lower them a bit.
I'm driving a 2006 S60R, what do U guys think about tranny flush? I'm about to hit 100k miles on it and its something I'm strongly considering but I haven't done it yet. Btw. nice upgrades, meth/water injection is on my to do list as well as full 3'' exhaust (partial now) but prob wouldn't stretch it to 23lb with my turbo :-P
Hey man I have a 09 2.5t myself looking forward to doing some major upgrading myself what to best suggest as the first step as this is my first Volvo and loving this car but looking for a lot more push in horsepower.
Little late but on the fourms if you do some talking you'll run into a tuner who specializes in tuning volvos and will help ya out. I haven't been on there for a while but you can try!
What would this thing run in the 1/4? I love volvos and Im hoping it does pretty well, that's quite a bit of power and a solid motor, speaking as vaguely as I can lol.
You should have gotten a Custom Remus ... You might want to talk to SpeedFactory in Tacoma WA to see if you can have custom made pistons made. They make custom pistons, usually honda/acura stuff, but give them a call. I would reconmend replacing the Enkei's, they are heavy wheels, get some Old school 90's 18's or 19's multipeice ... save you a few pounds.
Have you faced any issue with angle gear and do you have any tip how to avoid this failure? I am considering to buy a red s60r 2004 and wanna know specific known issues these cars face,.
does yours leak oil when you go hard? the other night, I was driving pretty hard. I did a real fast pull, and then my low engine oil light came on... hasn't been a problem since, but still kind of worried.
well it got serviced shortly after and the oil was changed so it never really caused any problems. it has not been on a high way trip like that since then and it needs work done on the suspension so i have been keeping it on comfort chassis setting and also out of sport mode (S button by the gear shift) Considering those settings will hold the car back a little bit, even after pushing it hard I haven't seen anymore oil outside the car. with all the setting in full track mode that could be very different, so if you're worried you could stick to lower performance setting for a while or try making sure all the caps that go on anything holding liquid are sealed tight. I remember one time when the Check Engine light came on i tightened the oil cap down and the light went off, could have been coincidence but it's worth a shot to make sure everything is tight.
My problem was just the cap! I have a manual so I don't have the sport option. I find it just leaks a small amount when above 6,000 rpm. My cars been problem free since I changed that gasket. I'd say they are reliable, but they are a nightmare for people with a lack of car knowledge. You can cause issues by not watching things like the oil, or letting the car warm up before taking off, etc...
People kind of look at volvos and just see, well nothing really. Theyre touted for being reliable and safe and not much else. But then you see cars like this, they still dont look like much but knock your socks off. I sort of think the unassuming style works for them, they dont look bad by any means, i love the look of most volvos but i love that even for their sport models they stick to a simple and classy design
Need some advice I have been watching Volvo's on UA-cam for probably about the last month and in rather intrigued. Was planning on leaving it at that, however I just came across a 2001 S60 T5 with a 160K listed for $2600 and I'm fairly confident I could pick it up for $2000. Guys states it's his wife's daily driver, but that it needs a few things. So my questions are does it sound like a decent deal? What is the cost of ownership as in are these reliable or are they prone to minor issues that add up? And final question car would probably become my daily as I have a 2011 STI that I would prefer to not drive everyday, and given that I have an STI already am I gonna be surprised or disappointed in this cars ability's after a few modifications? Personally I think I will be let down by the T5 model in the 1st place given that it's not all wheel drive, but this seems like a good deal to me.
Can anyone give me pointers on what to look for when buying a s60r? Test drove a 2004 s60r today with an automatic and loved it but I want a manual transmission. How reliable are these cars? Read about the automatic transmission can go bad and be expensive to rebuild.
don't get a auto unless it's 06-07. I believe they redid the tranny those years to hold up with all the torque. They are tough cars, but you'll want to baby it. The awd system isn't the strongest thing so don't launch the car from a stand still. Plus volvo uses a lot of rubber(and I mean a lot) mounting/suspension parts that wear pretty quick. Ipd will be you best friend for oem and their own polyurethane made parts. Pretty cheap to fix if you do it yourself and pretty easy to work on for the most part.
Im turning 17 in a month and I am getting a 2008 Volvo c70 t5, I would really like it to make me happy and excited when I accelerate(you car people know what im talking about) without spending a fortune... any ideas?
Marco Vojnikovic No it's not! CMOD_R has the CarbonFiberWorks Lip VST Style Lip that was specifically made for the S60R. Looks sort of the same, but not the same lip.
Hope someone can help but a lot of folk say the block walls are thinner because the engine started out as a 2.3 but has been board out to 2.5 but what is a safe bhp for the standard engine? is it around 350 mark? which is pretty much a exhaust a sports filter and a remap
Jake 9th gen honestly that's really good to hear. I want to go ahead and get mine tuned but I've been pushing it off because I've been so nervous about cracking the stupid block.
Yea you'll be fine, i mean this guy is running 23lbs of boost...im sure you're not trying to go that crazy with your car..but you can tune this car on a very conservative level and make some pretty good numbers
Jake 9th gen were you ever tuned on the stock turbo? I'm trying to get an idea of what kind of numbers to expect. everything I have seen is really vague though.
People ask me all the time 'What is it like to fly in a 30 000 kilowatt Boeing?!' I always answer : 'I doze off because of thinking of guys like you asking questions like that!'.
Too bad turning radius is almost 42 feet :( The older v70 station wagon is 37! Dream car other than that, great on gas, and incredibly cheap nowadays (can be found for $5k in good condition).
I don't even know where I'd go to rebuild the engine or even do any of this stuff lol they are so rare and parts are hard to come by. Can he point me in the right direction?
Have you messed with the internals at all? 23psi? yikes! I'm looking at getting the C70 engine for a project build (same engine as the one in yours?) it seems like these are stout little engines. How's yours holding out? still 'daily-able' with those mods or do things keep breaking?
We know it's not making 450 hp because I've tuned a 2006 s60 r, with upgraded intercooler, gt3071 turbo, full aftermarket exhaust on 22 psi and it made 410 to the wheels, and somehow this guy is getting 40 or more horse power with almost a bone stock drive train is where I call bullshit

Daniel Bargas could be a number of things that perhaps he didn't disclose. But the reply still isn't exactly answering my question lol Wanting to know if these Volvo T5 engines would be a neat little project engine that could be modded to make a reliable 350-400ish HP or are they problem prone and should stay away?
+Porsche Duésnburg I would go with the s60r but the t-5 is only one step down from the s60r so I'm sure you could get 350 whp with stock internals on the t-5 motor
8 років тому
Daniel Bargas The S60R still uses a 5cyl, right? That's what I'm after, that 5cyl sound and performance. I've found that Viva seems to be the 'go to' for Volvo parts to build these engines. Are there more or is Viva the only one that make upgrades for the 5cyl?
+Porsche Duésnburg correct the r and the t5 are both 5 cylinders, the r is 2.5l with 16 pounds of factory boost, the t5 is 2.3l little bit higher comp ratio and only 10 pounds of boost, roughly the t5 has 250 hp and the r has 300 from the factory
Volvo has the reputation of being the tame, safe family car but there is nothing TAME about this beast... Connor has done it right. What do you guys think?
Agreed! Connor's car is awesome!
Whats up docta👍
wheels, skirts and rear bumper are shit!! Volvo five spokes and the rest original would be an awesome looking car and sleeper:D
i thought about canning the 5 spokers on mine after i bought it. they have grown so much
Well "Volvo has the reputation of being the tame, safe family car" Not in sweden..
I love how you didn't go crazy on any big wings or body kits. This car looks so sick. A+
Actually does have a body kit on it, but its the factory optioned "Sport Kit" Super hard to find a clean R with the Sport Kit
@IgnitionTube we need an update on this beautiful beastly S60R
Love the sound of the in-line 5. Puts a smile on my face :)
Couldn't agree more! I love mine a lot. Makes me wanna get more 5 bangers lol
Always loved the sound of the S60R, but this is insane!!
Sweet, nice job.
You the man Robert.
i bet he absolutely loves his trun radius lol
standeman32 get a life pal, do you even have a turn radius
@@PD-pg2il lol I was only mentioning his turn radius because of how legitimately shitty turn radii on Volvos are. This is not opinion, or meant to piss anyone off. Simply put, this is factual information.
my s60r has the worst turning circle i've ever had but i absolutely love the car
Team Andromeda exactly what I’m talking about! Haha! Great cars, just not the best turn radius lol.
@@teamandromeda2321 wheel spacers help.
Volvo exhaust notes are heavenly
Sweet ride! Like you said, not a lot of people drive Volvo, that's why I like it. You mentioned a total motor rebuild, what's the progress?
Volvos 4 life!
My buddy has a manual R making around 400 wheel and it truly is a force to be reckoned with. He’s outrunning pretty much everyone that isn’t driving a Camaro or mustang around town.
Volvo 5 cylinders are the best sounding engines ever #changemymind
R1
Zander Xymox it’s actually the same motor used in the last gen focus rs as well
@larsaskogstad I smoked 2 Audi's in my s60 #cantchangemymind
Carlos Carreon like a Q5, A3.... theres a lot of different Audis?
Clearly you guys have never heard the old V12 F1 engines.
Now I want an S60R...
i have one let me know,,,2005,,,
Connor's car is pretty nasty :)
Saoodonewiththis did u ever get one
"It's not fun at all until something blows up" LOL Connie! hahaha
This guy has the right attitude for the car, no compromises.
I have a dark blue 2007R with just 80,000 manual trans. and love it!

I've owned two S60Rs and they're fantastic cars, you can just never be ready for the speed and power of even a stock one, out of a volvo lol.
Sean Cloughley sweet my dad owns a s60 turbo sadly its not an r type so its fwd but its pushing about 250 hp
Ah. Yeah the turbos are great. I will say the smaller 2.4 engines are actually stronger. The R engines are the weakest in physical metal strength.
Sean Cloughley the one my dad owns i accualy a 2,5 liter :)
+Sean Cloughley i was under the impression they where weaker than the 2.3 because of the cylinder wall thickness.
+rebelmaderighteous the block is weaker which is why everyone suggests the 2.3s if you're going to be doing mods and going for more horsepower.
Here in Sweden all i see is tuned volvos, but it is true, these cars are not tame
I'm finally starting to put after market parts in my Volvo S80 T6 and its going at about 300hp, nothing compared to this monster.
Had A 2000 S80 T6
That Car Was 1 Of The Best Ive Owned
Car Was A Beast STOCK
W/ A Tune On The Ecu Would Be 300+
At Like 15Psi
Literally have the exact same car, cant wait to start on it

Glad you're enjoying your new car!
When you REALLY need to get that iced coffee.
Excellent work Connor 🍻
Just uncapped the muffler on mine. Probably should put it back lol. It started setting off car alarms on nearby cars
I have a 2008 s60 people are confused when they see it pass them😮😮
Very cool! Love it
Might just be the shots, but looks like some pretty serious camber in the rear! very cool
When i bought my S60 I thought it was broken somehow. Seller thought so too. Turns out they come with that amount of camber, especially if you lower them a bit.
Love these cars honestly dream car
Such a dope car, clean build
I'll pass your compliments along to Connor!
I want pure engine sound, no music please :D
Nice car btw!
That is badass

Looks stunning!

start out with an intake
got it ahaha
tune and exhaust. Check out Viva Performance. They can do custom tunes
Just get a kn intake that replaces the stock one. The big ams's can throw codes very easy.

I've found that Viva seems to be the 'go to' for Volvo parts to build these engines. Are there more or is Viva the only one that make upgrades for the 5cyl?
+Porsche Duésnburg correct the r and the t5 are both 5 cylinders, the r is 2.5l with 16 pounds of factory boost, the t5 is 2.3l little bit higher comp ratio and only 10 pounds of boost, roughly the t5 has 250 hp and the r has 300 from the factory
that thing is sick as fuck!
