Elevate themselves have a video on this exact intercooler and they state unequivocally that there is NO data to suggest that it adds any horsepower whatsoever in street trim. I respect them so much for saying that.
I don''t know why it took so long for me to find this channel, but I'm glad I did. My brother has an 08 C30 R-design, and we're in the middle of doing an AWD swap, Already have the S40 awd rear subframe and fuel tank installed and working, currently sourcing a trans and angle gear while we get an exhaust made.
Bryan Moore damn! How expensive do you think your project is going to be? I’ve been flirting with the idea of converting my 2011 s40 r-design to awd
@@zakk4744 We're using used parts. We got the driveshaft, full rear subframe and fuel tank for 600 bucks. We think we can get the transmission and angle gear for about 500. We'll also need new front axles. So I reckon if you do all the work yourself, our part cost will be somewhere in the 1400-1500 dollar range, not including the exhaust work we're doing.
Thats awesome, you can basically recreate the Polestar C30 Concept.
Bryan Moore that’s not bad at all! I did rough calculations and got to 3 grand but that was with ordering things online. Good luck! Sounds like a sweet project!
@@zakk4744 Mine cost me around 2500 CDN, including the fact that I needed to buy a brand new clutch and I chose a P2R kit with single mass flywheel. ua-cam.com/video/4ahuuF37kHo/v-deo.html
Just a suggestion, having worked with Turbos for awhile, change the clamps for Heavy Duty Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps...
100% agreed, i did the same on mine.
The intake sounds sick! Really wanted to see you driving and giving your first impressions on the new mods though. Hopefully intake manifold/dyno next episode!
Yeah, I will be doing a mod review in the coming weeks. Depends on when parts arrive etc. Hate letting parts sit in the garage and not on the vehicle.
Guys I really admire your passion.. I own a V50 and every time when you need to "tweek" something you get a mess of one day for something simple... it's a car that is a killer for mechanics! lol
Can't wait to see you finish this project :)
Yeah it's a grind... but worth it in the end!
Thanks for watching!!!
Once Again I appreciate you guys! I have to remove the front bumper of mine to fix a horn issue and your video showed me all I needed.
Awesome. Happy to help!!
Underrated channel
Shame Man. Elevate is amazing. But the one part you should look else where for a FMIC is Do88. Do88 is alot better at cooling the c30 T5s. Also when it's on sale it's half the price of the Elevates
I second that. I have the Elevate intake and turbo inlet pipe, but went with the Do88. Not only does it cool better, it's also less expensive. I highly recommend it. www.vivaperformance.com/do88-big-pack-intercooler-kit-volvo-s40-v50-c30-c70-fwd/
but its all matching now lol
aconboy30 Likely sponsorship by Elevate
@@quikgt I don't think they were at the beginning but now I believe they are. Bit of a shame. Oh well the project car is looking sick. Honestly it's the only part that they have done so far that I have really objected to
@@mcgherkinstudios Nah, that elevate intercooler is awesome. Not saying the Do88 isnt good, cause it is, but the Elevate is really nice and well finished. I used about 3 different ICs on my C30 but I wish id got the Elevate from the start.
Gonna be test driving a c30 next week, (2.0L not the 2.5 turbo because insurance costs) this video is making me so hyped up about it xD
Happy hunting!
@@ShiftingLanes Thanks!
@Wilson Calil Oh nice! Looks like we're in the same boat then. Hope it's as good as you hope!
That Elevate fmic is frickin TINY. All of the aftermarket fmics you can buy in europe are significantly larger than the factory one, typically 100% larger. Theres no way that elevate fmic can cool this engine efficiently at or above 300hp
That engine sounds mean 👌 keep it up guys
Bro, thanks for info about intercooler! It is exactly what I am looking for!
Hi guys. Greetings from Germany. Love how you all have been Volvorized...? Volvoficated...? Anyway, you caught the bug! I absolutely needed to support that so I pledged a couple of $$, bringing you to double digit supportes. Yay!
Keep it up!
Just saw, thank you so much! Every dollar helps. Once we reach our goal we’ll send you some swag 🙂 Cheers!
Those are some of the revs you owed us from last video. When are you taking us on a ride and getting on it.
Soon
Nice I'm about to buy one
Well I guess I could explain some sluggish performance in high heat here in the summer. These cars love the cold
Just had my R bumper off yesterday.. mega lighting upgrades.. still waiting to do an intercooler, but its -10 here.
put a short shifter on one of your T5, i have it on mine and it's cool !
it's from snabb
Second this
I been looking for a short shifter for mine. Where did you get yours?

I have a 2011 s40 T5 R-Design, bro it’d be great if you went into a little more detail/instruction on how to install various parts! You’re like the only one with the P1 setup who’s putting on all elevate parts which is my plan as well. I definitely look to a lot of your videos for guidance man, car sounds amazing! Hopefully in a year or two I’ll have that exact same sound coming out of mine (given that it’s essentially the exact same car with a slightly different body design and that’s about it)
You don't need all the parts to be elevate some parts are even inferior to other brands like the DO88 intercooler. And some parts are available at 1/3 the price for the same quality of part. Such as the Viva performance down pipe.
? They don't give any intake temp tests? Weird. Nice work though guys.
I'm just curious as to why you didn't install a new inlet manifold whenever you installed your intake. The claimed HP gains made with the new manifold are insane. +26 HP for just the upper and + 11 for the lower
Cost mostly. Car has other areas that I want to address first.
How long did it take from start to finish guys?:)
Great video you made, i am sure it Will help me, When i am going to change my own IC from elevate.
Thumbs up guys!
From Denmark.
Took us about 4 hours. Most of which was disassembly.
Thanks for watching!
ShiftingLanes Thank you 👍😁
Great video but seriously, who has a workshop/garage that BIG!! (jealous)
Wonder why Volvo didn’t factor in the Swedish summer when designing the intercooler but I guess I will just have to blame Ford for that.
Speaking of summer I’m looking forward to the summer, summer is the best day here in Sweden.
P.S Your right headlight blob is still broken.
Your headlight projector looks foggy to me, I think you should check them. There's a video on YT how to clean these projectors. Are you planning to fix the headlight washers too?
Would a tune be needed with the aftermatket ic and hardpipe to avoid a warning light?
TBH I didn't immediately tune mine after the install, but I did eventually retune it to max out the mods.
So watching this series I learned, when buy my salvage c30, that if I get a front impact one, I should do all my mods while repairing the front impact lol.
Curious, how much do you think wrapping that hard pipe could help with heat soak since it runs right under the ending like that? I know heat raises so I was thinking you'd have gained more wrapping the intake than the hard pipe, but a little extra wrap never hurt (coming from Subaru where the IC is heat soak central)
Gold wrapping it would probably help a bit. Was looking into the turbo blanket. Decided to wait until new turbo
Just wrap the exhaust. Threre's a kit for that:

Our dp is heat wrapped
Hi.. by any chance u planning on replacing the actuator for the Elevate Volvo C30 T5 K04 Turbo Wastegate Actuator?
Peak boost of 17psi @ 3100 RPM while the factory actuator held 13psi @ 3500 RPM.
ELEVATE Wastegate Actuator reached 13psi @ 2800 RPM, 700 RPM earlier than the factory actuator.
At maximum engine speed, our wastegate actuator produced 11psi while the factory unit produces 8psi.
anychance of replacing the cbv for the Elevate Volvo C30 T5 Dual-Port Compressor Bypass Valve
getting my tax money on friday and ready to spend some of it on the car
thanks in advance and waiting for ur next performance upgrade video
Awesome
So what's next that posi unit?
Nicely done! I wonder if it's going to improve power response (ie boosts faster?).
Colder air means more power.
@@Dubst3pT3ch That's not what I mean. I get that it gives you more power, denser charge. But I wonder if it improves throttle response due to not expanding in the stock pipes (ie. the stock plastic charge pipe stretches a bit under boost, causing a delay). Hard charge pipe doesn't stretch, meaning it should be quicker throttle.
Where can I get bumper like this please .
Did you regap or upgrade your plugs with all of these breather mods/tune, or is it not necessary for this car yet?
Not really needed, can go one step colder once stage 3.
Is the new IC bar and plate?
Dude, so much bullshit info. Ofcourse It's made out of aluminium. Every intercooler is made out of it.
Stock intercooler looks like it's made out of aluminum, and mud, bugs, and shit. Cleaning it might have been a better investment,along with the AC condenser and radiator! And now a word from our sponsor.
idk pretty sure I saw some plastic on that stock one, but that's just me
go fuck yourself idiot. there are plastic parts on the stock. Go to the mini cooper channels, you are gay enough for that. idiot.
Hardpipe will fit AWD P1 cars fyi.
just break off this retainer caps to the headlightwashers and 3m them back on
Assuming you drive this daily. What made you install performance summer tires in the middle of winter?
He has a 300 yard commute 😂
-Gregson
ShiftingLanes still seems like he drives it in winter even if not to work, so why summer tires? lol
What happen with the is300??!
No pull?! 🥺
Man..you speak too much about elevate! Don't get me wrong..but there are few alternatives to Elevate..cheaper ones from Airtec, dreamscience..and not so cheap from ProAlloy! Also the carbon intake provided by Autospecialists is great! 3" exhaust Miltek Ultimate/ KMS section 18/ KMS thunderstorm is what a custom built car needs and after all these hardware mods, you need a software upgrade!
Best to do plenty of research before spending your hard earned money. DO88, Elevate, OEM intercooler test

Good stuff,but too much talking.
Sponsored by elevate much? lol
if so, what's the problem? Have you donate via patreon? Not? Right.....try to make videos for free to see what happens.
I don'r believe that intercooler is that inefficient, anything above 10c... Volvo aren't dumb, got to be good to 25c at least.
If they are that dumb, lets hope Renault aren't, because i'm not forking out for an intercooler on a 2004, 94k Meg 225!!
The stock intercoolers suck that bad. I've hit 75C° intake temperature with one 3rd gear pull. Or about 40C° above outside temperature.
Its intentionally sized that way to reduce fuel consumption. If they run the air too cool the car will use more fuel under certain conditions on the test cycle, and fuel consumption was already a problem for the T5 engine marketing.
you guys should NOT cover German cars, Volvo peeps are weird, we avoid German cars, we're Volvo owners, we're MORE NOVEL, eclectic, so cover Italian cars, French cars, retro mods, but don't do the BMW, Porsche Mercedes Audi bullshit every other online video magazine does... be WEIRD STILL, COVER SWEDISH cars in general? Saabs? Alfa Romeos?
Like your stuff but pay to veiw nah,you aint no Monkeylondon
Love you guys, but Patreon is a no go. Sorry. After their censorship recently I can't support their platform.
decent video but you guys are desperately in need of some personality.
