Volvo's engine lineup once offered too many options, keeping the costs of the individual engines high. The many variants have been simplified down to a single engine architecture, which now has both gasoline and diesel inline four-cylinder variants. The gasoline four cylinder features a turbocharger as well as a supercharger, allowing for good fuel efficiency, great response, high horsepower, and a wide torque curve.
As a result, this T6 engine architecture has won numerous Ward's Auto 10 Best Engine awards. In this video we'll be looking at the 2018 Volvo S90 T6 Inscription AWD, with it's 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque twincharged engine. But it doesn't end there. For the T8 engine Volvo adds a crank-integrated starter generator (C-ISG), as well as a rear-axle electric motor for AWD. The result is a plug-in hybrid with instant torque, good fuel efficiency, and loads of power.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
The audio sucks, I know! I’m very sorry about this. As a one man show I always do my best to check focus, lighting, white balance, audio, etc, but sometimes things slip through. In this case my lapel microphone failed to record audio, and I did not find out until editing the footage weeks later. From a time perspective, reshooting really wasn’t an option to maintain my schedule. It’s quite reasonable for audiences to expect a certain level of quality from established channels, and for that I do apologize as this was never my intention. I will do my best to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future, but I’m sure I’m far from being done with making mistakes. I hope you all can enjoy the cool technology that Volvo packs into this engine, and thank you all so much for your continual support of this channel! I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Engineering Explained after a long time jason explains about his life problems but not giving supplementary content about engineering in the comments😂😂
nostalgia
Engineering Explained, can you use Microsoft Paint or something instead of the small whiteboard? Your handwriting is not the best.
Great video brother despite the audio
you are the best man
Now Volvo just needs to make an engine that's Turbocharged, Supercharged, Electric, and Nitrous Injected!
Top 10 Don't go giving them any big ideas . It sounds like they just might do it on a track version.
Then add a rocket engine in the back of the car!
Add a steam engine as well
methanol injected
With port and starboard attachments =)
My family just bought a Volvo XC60 T8 and the only thing that made us hesitant about buying it was the complexity of the drivetrain, but so far it really is an amazing car to drive.
The complexity itself is big no for the long run, rather have a gas guzzling v8 n/a anyday
That's a second owner kind of problem 😉
@@AJNpa80 we just sold it last month for the long range polestar xc60t8 they gave me $52k for my trade and I paid msrp for the new one. I literally felt like they were giving me a gift plus I get a state and and federal tax credit = $10k bringing it up so I only really payed $12k to trade in my old xc60t8 it did only have 18k miles on it
Wow, can't beat that with a stick. Know a dude that just sold his GTI for more than he paid for it 2 years ago, guess there are silver linings. My work van went up this year and I could not wait, as long as I tried, got raked, wait lists were unknown, hoping there will be a glut after the correction.
@@AJNpa80 With the federal reserve raising interest rates we will have a surplus of cars in another 3 to 6 months because people won't be able to finance them cheaply. Silver lining of of higher interest rates 😂 hopefully you can snag a deal out of it
RIP DIY mechanics
ForTehNguyen we're a slow dying breed
Well vw made tvinturbo engine 2007 like engine code BMY. Easy to maintane for diy mechanics
especially with volvos powerpulse. a diy mechanic pulling a pipe with 12bar of pressure off without the special tool to release the air first will lose their hand
@@oOXCURTXOo 😳
Volvo continues to amaze me with their powertrain development since the Geely era began. It is great to know that despite the Chinese ownership which many cried would be the end of Volvo, actually allowed the Swedes to remain independent on R&D as well as pump out high quality products that does not feel cheap or low-grade at all.
Great video, very informative. I own a V90 with a T6 engine. It’s very powerful, reliable, and fun to drive. Drives great on the German Autobahn doing 200 kph. I’m very happy with it.
@@frok7744 No issues. I've owned it for 3 years and have 31K miles. The Start/Stop battery went dead a couple of months ago but no big deal (don't use that feature anyway).
Its literally an engineering masterpiece 👌
In other words, this is a vehicle you'd want to lease, not buy.
Leased an XC60 T8 in 2017: got the first one delivered in Texas. Only problem so far is that the engine/drive train is so quiet & powerful (400HP; 0-60 in 4.9s) & the ride so smooth, that it's very easy to exceed the speed limit significantly, if you're not paying attention. With work-at-home & everything else within electric range, the car has complained twice that the gas was getting old: 2 fill-ups in c. 11 months. Lease ended September, 2020. Residual owed: c. $32k; Blue-Book value: $45k. Yes, I bought it.
gonna buy a Xc90 T8. wondering what would happen if gas get old?
Now imagine if this was a five cylinder.. I get why they stopped making them but I will forever miss the real T5.. Best engine sound ever!
Agreed, I owned one too.
That frame by frame example... man you are a great educator! 👌👌
Thanks!
Lancia delta s4 too supercharged and turbo charged ,,, that set up is actually called twin charging .
Supercharger helps to reduce the lag during initial range
so is the Lancia 037 and the Nissan Micra Superturbo
037 is only supercharged
keesie75 you are right... messed it up. i thought both the s4 and the 037 were twin charged.... my bad
Mate 2012 and 13 VW Polo is super and turbo charged. Well the repair cost is massive on these engines.
It's cool to see Volvo thinking forward with this system, still I'm wondering if an electric supercharger would have made more sense, but this is definitely a system I'd like to drive... combines a lot of good ideas...
Your dream came true I guess, only 3-4 years later 😀
I love this idea of throwing every technology available into a car's engine!
Old school Vortec 5.7 and the 5.3 should be award winning of their reliability and low maintenance motor 👍
Corey The FAM I'll disagree, Corey. Every big rig out there is turbocharged, and they last hundreds of thousands of miles, abeit they are built for a different application.
They are a quarter dime here comparison with USA in the mid east arabia. $500- 750 cleaned & maintained out of the donated vehicle. Volvo is too pricey like avocados for maintenance costs here. Lol !
Corey The FAM Idk, they're good engines, but imo, the most impressive ice powertrains put right now are ecoboost engines. They're powerful, reliable, and relatively fuel efficient if you stay out of boost. Plus they're very tuner friendly.
Corey The FAM. You obviously don't know what you are talking about, look up the b230....
Corey The FAM btw a AMC/Chrysler 4.2 and 4.0 put your engine to shame in reliability along with the Volvo B platform 😂
Happy owner of T8 S60, amazing straight line performance, leaves everything in its wake, heavy car so one needs to be careful on twisty roads, but still fun to drive through the bends.
Great informative video Jason
Repair nightmare award 🥇
I work on vehicles with engine covers as depicted. MFGs need to immediately remove all engine covers from vehicles (and if you own a vehicle with one, take it off and put it in the attic or basement). Engine covers allow the wiring that's under them to get heat soaked beyond tolerances, especially the the wire loom material. EVERY vehicle I've encountered that's 7 yrs old or older with engine covers sees the wire loom and other protective covers and wraps on wiring assemblies being destroyed. You should look into this and post a video about it.
I know this is an old video, but the T6’s have proved to have very few issues since it’s introduction. Some T5’s had oil consumption issues for a few years, but the T6’s are still functioning perfectly well.
Proper maintenance is obviously key, but I have yet to hear from any other T6 owner that they’ve had a turbo or supercharger go bad. Even if they do, they’re both in very easy to reach spots. Not nearly as complex as you’d expect. As with any euro car, I’m expecting to do some sort of major maintenance when plastics eventually go bad, but 100k miles and 6 years have gone by and mine is still running like a top
Great video! This engine seems incredible. Keep up the awesome work, Jason!
Incredible piece of engineering
Having sat through the Volvo UK launch of the new engine architecture (they launched the D4 here as the first one), the diesel and petrol engines also share a lot of the basic structural design. Obviously different heads and slightly beefier block for the derv but they were keen to stress this was a ‘single engine architecture’.
Very good video. I would surely ditch all this complexity and drive a RWD 240.
Thanks Jason for another excellent presentation. This Volvo's engine, however, is ridiculously complicated and I'm not sure why the award... the weight of the car was too much for a 2 litre, 4 cylinder engine so they started adding up all that? Quite silly in my view... there are other options out there to move that huge SUV more efficient than this adding up engine. Definitely not the car of the future and for the common folk. Thanks again for your excellent work and for sharing your hard worked knowledge with us!
Talking about frame can you please make it 60FPS
i love the way they joined the super charger, turbo charger and the electric motor all in one, It's down right amazing ! volvo, really pulled out all the stops and thought about everything. but the real question that comes to mind is fuel economy? how much fuel will this engine take? fuel prices go up and down like there no tomorrow. So, how would that take roll in all this ?
BMW has a similar setup in their 225xe except they use a small variable pitch turbo instead of the supercharger, it spools up from 1200 rpm, then a bigger fixed turbo and an 80kw motor on the rear axle. 225hp from a 1.5lt 3 cylinder engine!
Got a T8 and it is quick, but there is alot of power going through the front wheels. I just feel that a more rear wheel drive emphasis would make for a better drive.
I suggest looking at the award winning N54 and N55. Honestly they're some of the best overall engines I've experienced.
this guy just shoots the facts no mindless jibber jabber.
Another great video. Thanks again. No worries for the sound, but thanks for being honest.
And what have Volvo done is save on money and space, so that they can fit this in more vehicles, like big SUV's and small family cars like the V40 with it's T3 engine, which is the same as the T4, but less software tuning. And the T4 is the same as the T5, without the some more tuning. This saves on engineering, testing and others. And this is for the newest engine codes, as the old ones were different. The T3 was 1,6l, T4 was 1,6l 4 cyl, the T5 was 2l but 5 cyl. the T4 got 2.0l 4 cyl, and the T3 too. So a bit confusing over a 10 year period. Mainly, the difference is in refinement, as a 4cyl engine producing horsepower of a 6 cyl engine. It feels different. The 6cyl 3.0l engines of the germans are more quiet and refined, they feel smoother. But hey, Kudos for Volvo, for applying tech to achieve this.
That's like being on ,a powerlifter a sprinter, and a good husband. Simply amazing.
Great video, nice explaination of the air flow. It's amazing the engineering car makers need to leverage to meet current CAFE standards. How long before all cars have to be hybrid twinchargers?
Should make a sport mode in this car where the turbo and supercharger are activated all at once. Also how do they get the horsepower and torque specs if half the time you have a supercharger and the other you have a turbo?
Turbo and super charger together makes a good supercar it also reduces lag
Very well explained, thank you !
you make me love my Volvo more, thanks for detailed explanation
I like that wide flat power band!
Amazing vid. Loved it!
Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Eye Dupppz good ☝!
You should be the PC police.
Lol
Pardon me sir, but I think you lost something.
You were going to say... Don't buy any car with this engine that doesn't have a lifetime warranty.
Awesome explanation. Complicated engine... amazing results.
thats a lot of extra moving parts for more power. they should just do a series hybrid with a small battery or capacitor for extra power bursts, and ditch the turbo, supercharger, gearbox, physical drivetrain, gearchanges, turbo lag, starter motor, and reduce the engine size to just what you need for cruising, plus a bit for recharging.
Volvo is love, Volvo is life.
And......................... then it breaks!
ErwinSchrodinger64 Volvo's are pretty reliable, especially the 240's and 740's with their redblock engines.
Martin van Weperen Of course a 240 and 740 is reliable, but without knowing for sure i can assume newer volvos wont last long without expensive maintainance, volvo is boring and out of character these days if you ask me...
ErwinSchrodinger64
My 2005 V70 D5 has never let me down, had it 5 years now, the only issue in all that time has been a dodgy abs ecu module, rebuilt for £195 plus £150 fitting, don't be brainwashed by all the fake reliability reports on here !! spread by Audi/BMW fanboys !!!!!!!!!
This is amazing... until warranty runs out...
But 15 years later this will be a beast on the track.
Great tech for everyone to experience.Volvo's thought on the budget part is appreciable. 3 add on charging tech's together. Decent enough.
Great video! Very clear on how the engine works. It's crazy powerful and I'm sure it's a dream to drive. But.... where's the turboencabulator ?
SBF
Jason, thank you for this pure lemon juice in a motor world quisine! Watching your videos from Ukraine. Appreciate, keep on rolling!
i wonder what the meeting was like in the board room when they decided this. "This engine is madness." Madness?, THIS ENGINE IS SPARTA!!!!""
Dear all that is unholy, it must break. It will break. It will drain your wallet. Feel sorry for the suckers who attempt to tune this engine for more horsepower.
Do you think there’s a big tuning community amongst S90 owners? I highly doubt that.
Absolutely not! That's my point. The cost to tune such an engine would be extraordinary expensive. Then there's an issue with reliability long term.
Polestar makes one with 415 hp and 500ft-lb of torque..
..The people that would buy this car are most likely baby boomers and soccer moms. Not exactly tuner types.
I'm sure the engine will be just as reliable as its past counterparts, its the transmission I'm worried about.
Why tune a turbo engine in the first place? That is just overboosting the factory specced pressure on which the engine is made for.
An engineering marvel, yes it is. But is it necessary or will it be reliable? It's overly complex & I'm surprised you skipped that aspect in your review.
Why didn’t they design an independent intake for the supercharger and the turbo separately? Wouldn’t that avoid air forced by the supercharger being blocked by the turbine not spinning at the right speed?
Looks very cool on whiteboard, but so many elements to go wrong (after warranty expires ofcourse). Trust me, I drive a modern 2.0liter Volvo, I speak from experience. I am on my third (!) engine block since november 2014... Is it not much more efficient and reliable to use an electric motor with equivalent power, with battery of modest capacity to keep weight acceptable and with less complex 2.0l petrol engine to drive a generator (so not the wheels directly) but only for constantly topping up the battery? Can be tuned for narrow RPM band, does not need heavy and complex gearbox, clutch, supercharger (with it's own clutch), turbocharger etc. etc. to go wrong after 200k km, or 130k miles. Quality Volvo USED to be known for. You would not have max power available for long periods, but no road car needs that. You would have the say 400hp for acceleration as long as the battery lasts at full power, as the engine keeps driving the generator with say 140hp constantly recharging the battery. 140hp is more than enough to keep a car at a realistic cruising speed.
Incredible thank you for that amazing lesson
*It's supercharged, turbocharged, electric, and will explode in 5 years.* Good luck finding a mechanic that wants to work on this 8 years down the line.
sdlausen I’d imagine if that’s bad, the mechanics will be lining up to work on it since they can charge by the hour.
More like the wrecking yard at that point, that's the reality when labor hours total a car. You can line up, but no ones paying, because its a disposable car once off lease and princess returns her car.
Well manufacturer will definitely wants the car to last the max 5 years.. so u will have to buy a new model then or they'll be out of business.
If i was making all this complex engine i would make sure that the power from the turbo stays up to 7000 RPM at least. This whole scenario is ideal for a bigger turbo since the supercharger is loading up at lower RPMs.
Love your videos!!!😊💐💕💕❤️
From India!!!😊😎😎😎
Volvo, the MV Agusta of vehicles... What's interesting now is Volvo is actually getting smart. If you go to their website and look at financing options, you can rent their cars now. Renting comes complete with all service and car insurance!
Even the old 3.2L I6 had variable valve timing and variable valve lift height. And it is soooo much smoother than a stinking I4. Someone said nitrous. But how about holes in the flor so one can run it Fred Flintstone style :-)
When I heard clutch on a supercharger, all i could think about is how now we can finally make Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor fully functional🤤
*.. AND ALSO BREAKS ALL THE TIME*
You must stop calling unreliable engines 'The best engines' just because *in theory* they are!
BrabusBandit Is there proof that its unreliable or are you saying that due to the complexity of the engine. I’m genuinely asking because people in the comments say anything based on any given common, unmediated grounds such as simple = unreliable.
How do you know it isn't reliable? People make claims but never back it up with any sources/data. I like talking about cool technology, and will continue to!
Dolton Collins Been watching Matt Farah's podcast on 'thesmokingtyre', he's a huge car reviewer. And his press car had a tonne of issues including engine related. His friends have had issues with the engine and even his mum who has and XC90 with a super and turbo charged engine. So no guess work here!
Engineering Explained I understand that, and the technologies are cool! But I reckon they're only cool if they work. As described above a number of people have had issues which is a shame. I also understand there is a lot of key-board worriers who'll just say its rubbish because of brand preference without any data, but as mentioned.. People are having reliability issues!
I'm sure if you were to ask Matt Farah he too would agree that three anecdotes do not make a trend. I'm not saying the engine is or is not reliable, but a small pool of anecdotes is not a great thing to base your decision on.
This one wins the Rube Goldberg Design Award
No manua,l no care.
Questchaun 1. You're going to have a hard time buying new cars then
2. Do a little research, a manual is coming...
This is awesome.....in dis video u talk about the additional parts which is added (INTEGRATED STARTER GENERATOR)...in between engine and transmission..😊This is wowww feature for increasing torque & speed...
I want u to make video over that part...and how does it work..😊😊
OK Saw this in my research on my wife's quest to trade her 2003 S60 T5 AWD (23,450 miles) for a Newer S60. She really likes the platform and handling. We found a very clean 2018 S60 T5 AWD (16,000 miles). But she missed the 5 cylinder Grunt at the light, merging and passing. I saw the T8 Version and was drooling, a 400 HP S60 would be awesome. We did get the Polestar ECU Upgrade and found 295 Ft Lb of torque. Yeah. But, You know More is Better. is there a chance to retrofit the SC part of the T6 into this T5??? Is the Electric Drive option also possible for retrofit of is all of this so complicated that would be impossible. I had no idea that Volvo was stuffing electric motors all over the place in the drive line. Makes me wonder if we could see Front wheel electric drive supplement for my 2014 C7 Corvette 9(,250 Miles) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! Cheaper than trying to trade. Really appreciate your style and diagrams are awesome. many of us older engineers think just like you draw and it helps. Now lets see what the 21 century Hot Rods are going to look like?? Volvos and Older Vettes with Electric drive???? Have you seen the GM Chevy E drive Crate System, 200 to 400 HP all electric motor with Small Block Chevy Motor mounts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So complicated??, So the question is what is the avg life expectancy of a motor like this (perhaps not dead, but how about leaving you stranded and requiring expensive repairs) VS some NA motor in a cheaper car. How can we have a reasonable comparison of value/longevity?
I've driven a number of these T6 powered cars now, and it seems like the supercharger is whining at all lower rpms, not sure if they changed when the clutch engages or not. The SC is quite audible even stock
i have the 2015.5 XC60 T6 twin scroll turbocharger. I have no idea what twin scroll means, but it is really fast when i step on the gas. Thanks for explaining this engine. Very Interesting. But to be honest, i bought my Volvo for the seats! :). I wonder if you could explain the engineering behind why Volvo makes the best seats!
Ive seen that eropean vw 3 cilinder engine,s are mounted slightly tilted in the enginebay do you have an idea why that is? Been trying to find out for the longest time ..... thx
Love the channel!
I miss the era of naturally aspirated straight sixes, the naturally aspirated BMW 330i inline six was a thing of beauty.
down to two? they have 3 cylinder versions as well.
The whole time I'm thinking "What on earth will repairs cost once this thing is out of warranty??" Yikes! Cool tech though. Thanks EE!
This is quite ingenious
What a brilliant explanation,
So they basically added a high power version of Honda’s IMA in addition to turbo and super charging systems?
Can't wait for these to be out of warranty. $ to be made!!!
CMac Yes, BIG BUCKS!
That will apply to all brands of cars though !! more complex these engines get the more it will cost to maintain in my opinion, but then in twenty years time this will be old tech, as electric cars will have taken over !!
This Volvo power unit is overengineered, supercharged and turbocharged, in addition to hybrid setup. A simple alternator starter setup will do all the same functions.
All that effort from VOLVO who said it will cease production of gasoline (petrol) fueled engines for passenger cars in a near future (years 2020 - 2021 ?) This might be their laat glorious internal combustion engine.
a mistake??? from an engineer?? no way..... haha.... I love your content on this channel, you're entitled to mistakes just like the rest of us. idk your history or name. most people don't use their names so I don't worry about it. obviously you work in engineering though. I don't know specifics about engineering, just that theres mechanical and electrical, and others. anyway, I've been trying to find someone reliable to talk about the differences in the Subaru Outback and Forester. I know you talk about the different systems such as AWD and the boxer engine vs v-type and 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder. probably others too. I'm sorry about being off topic of this video, but you're one of the go-to guys for info like this. what I'm looking for is maybe a list of your videos that would help show the differences, or more like which vehicle has the better type of a particular system. I've watched the AWD video, and for me its kind of a little confusing. I get the sti has the best of the subaru AWD systems. which out of the outback and forester is next? I haven't been able to find any comparing videos of forester vs outback- differences between the two, which has the better of this or that and so on. basically, I'm trying to help my mom decide between forester or outback. visibility and 2.5 are plusses for the forester, 3.6 is a plus for the outback, unless its a high octane motor only, then its back to the 2.5..... so if you can give me a little help here id really appreciate it. I guess if its the 2.5 for both and Subarus most advanced camera/radar sight system, only thing left is the AWD systems unless the cvt's transmissions are different. reliability and safety are the biggest points I guess. anyway, id appreciate any help with what I'm trying to figure out. thanks. I did just watch the Volvo supercharge video and looks like a good set-up to me, but not getting one anytime soon. thanks for any help, and thanks for making the videos you do. I really enjoy seeing how things work from and engineering viewpoint. wouldn't have ever thought that so much goes into exhaust like it does, and how the velocity of the exhaust is NOT BACK PRESSURE. hope you're still enjoying that S2000 as well, big jump, 40% more horsepower with the centrifugal supercharger. dads doing the same thing with a 454 LSX in a police Malibu....cant wait for that to be done, wheww!!
The AWD systems are nearly identical in the cars you mention. I have a video comparing all Subaru AWD systems if you’re interested, simply search the channel. :)
yes sir, I get some of it but not all of it yet. I understand, I think, that the forester is a 60/40 split max, front to back. the outback, idk, ill watch again and see if I get it, but thanks again for ANY help, and ill continue watching bc you do explain things just as I like to hear them. thanks. keep up the good work explaining the difficult things that most of us don't understand or realize whats happening(mechanically). ITS GREAT STUFF. Im sure you have many more watchers than hit there subscribe button. I thought of engineering as career myself at an early age, but things didn't go that way for me. again, thanks, and will be seeing you in the next video.
My buddy has this engine in his Volvo. Really likes the power, says fuel economy sucks.
Pretty cool technology. What a nightmare of complexity.
How so?
So a lot of cars mainly have petrol/diesel as the main driving force, with electric/hybrid give a bit extra power and efficiency. But how about a 95% electric engine with a small petrol engine which will give it the sound that us car lovers will miss when electric cars take over? I guess you can just stick a 50cc moped engine in the boot for a bit of sound haha
the air conditioning fan stops at more than 55mph ?, or it always works regardless of the speed at which the vehicle circulates
At low throttle, how does the air not go through the supercharger? Is there also a bypass valve that shuts that path that wasn't drawn?
A good explanation of why most of us cannot afford Volvos. Watch ' Nomadic Fanatics video of how he records his audio and attaches it to his video. His videography is some of the best on You Tube.
I think a lot of you guys are used to drive american cars.
I worked 20 years at a Volvo dealer, i race, rallycross, sprint with Volvo's and I can tell you people that there is not one Volvo build engine that is not reliable and not capeble to get 500.000km. A lot of them even without good maintenance! The les reliable engines are the 5 cilinder 185hp diesel (2006-2010) and the latest 2.0 4 cilinder diesel. Changing a Waterpump (Volvo engines) isn't in the maintenance interval up to 300.000km since the Volvo 850 in the early '90! in 20years i maybe replaced 2 of them, spark plugs for the 5 cilinder gasoline every 120.000km. Clutch changing km are for 90% over the 250.000km, and here in Europe we use the clutch every 500m. The last exhaust i replaced was in the early 2000 on a 940 with 300.000plus km, after that only 1 because of an accident. Not 1 turbo on a Volvo engine in 20years.Rust is a word we haven't used since the 850 models. I repeat Volvo engine because they use foreign engine in some models. And of course there are exeptions.
That said isn't a Volvo completely bulletproof but price/quality there is no better european car.
Is there a reason why the bypass valve is not before the supercharger? Wouldn't there be residue air in the supercharger once the valve (in its current position) opens?
Amazing, but man i don't envy the mechanics that have to troubleshoot this car when it's old and in the second hand market....
Why not to put a larger supercharger driven by a CVT belt elecronically adjusted and get rid of the turbo.
Contrary to what you say in this video, those who've driven these T6 Volvos (including lots of professional UA-cam reviewers) agree pretty well that the gear shifting is very uneven and disconcerting in these cars with superchargers. My experience (and those of others) suggests that the T5 models (lacking the supercharger) shift gears more smoothly. Volvo has done some amazing technology, but it does not translate into comfortable driving experiences.
I would say that at least now gear change has been super smooth in all T8 Volvo's I have tried during last few months. I do not know what situation was 1-2 years ago.
General twincharger question, if you don't mind..
is it possible to place a recirculation valve in the intake pipe going to the supercharger, as pressure builds up when the supercharge is disengaged, the recirculation valve redircts the air to the turbo?
My wife just bought a new 2018 Subaru base model Impreza... Not the wrx, it only has 152 hp. but we live in New England and we get lots of snow and the roads are really bad around here, We figured the all wheel drive was worth it (22,000)... Just wondering what you think about the new subies?? I always watch and learn from your videos so I just wanted to know what you think about them? thanks man........... Mike(Whitey).
its funny that we are seeing all these small cc engines with super/turbo chargers, when Japan has been making them for years lol
That is a lot of technology there, which is a good thing, even better that Chrysler didn't design this.
What do you think of Volvo's B6304 engines (tuning wise)
You should do Audi’s 2.5 tsi 5 cylinder
Hi Jason!
Let's say you're cruising, and you floor it. How much would the supercharger get used under this acceleration? Is the transmission not going to downshift so that you will go over the 3500 rpm in a split second? As I see it you would have to go in manual mode to get the most out of the super charger (full throttle/under 3500 rpm) or am I wrong? BTW is the transmission programmed to let the engine work with more throttle at low rpm before it downshifts?
Thanks for great videos!
Volvo engineers are geniuses.

Everything
They’re premium cars. S class Mercedes-Benzs, Rolls Royces, Aston Martin, and Paganis are luxury cars, to name a few. Any car significant lower than these, such as a 5 series BMW, is no more than a premium car.
This is all pretty kool, they just need a unique sound + more wide & racing styling.
