    Hello I’m wondering what power is achievable out of a 2.3 T5 motor, (out of a 2001 V70 t5)and what I should upgrade, what are failure points, how much boost it can handle, etc… I have and R motor swapped 2007 Volvo s60 2.5t, and had it shimmed but it still cracked the block, but a 2.3 has...

    So i have a 2014 V40 T5 and seem to be averaging about 14L/100km when driving reasonably conservatively. I do probably 90% city driving. Seeing as the car is supposedly quoted for 11 in urban environments, does this seem too high?

    Hello guys, I've run a diagnostics and I'm coming up with the fault code, boost pressure sensor signal too high I've read the data stream and it's reading 1.01bar (14.6 psi) even when unplugging the map sensor I've probed the wiring from the ecu plug to the map sensor wiring and all is...

    Hi everyone, yesterday while replacing the sway bar links I thought about replacing the sway bar bushings. I had previously read that before ordering it is a good idea to check the diameter of the sway bar, because they come in different sizes. After measuring mine, it turns out to be 24mm, and...

    Forgive me as I am new to the volvo scene. I recently purchased a 2005 S60 2.5T. The battery was dead when I bought it, so I brought it to the shop to get the entire car checked. They went through the car, tested the alternator and came to the conclusion that the alternator was bad. I replaced...

    03 xc70 268000 miles. Ok so I had a gas smell that I couldn't find for months even with dye, but it ran fine. I started showing a miss on cyl 3 so I ordered a coils and a fuel injector-guessing it was maybe leaking into the cylinder. Also noticed no fuel pressure some mornings. After...

    Hey guys, so while doing my cambelt I popped the cam caps off so I could use my new cam locking tool to verify timing. In the process I snapped a hardened T30 bit off in the bolt that holds the pickups on the back of the cam shaft. Anybody got some tricks or tips on how to get that out? I did...

    Hey guys, Yesterday climbing on to boost, (my car has been tuned and I have a mechanical boost gauge from Prosport installed), I can't get more than 0.7bar out where 1bar is the norm for my baby. I can also hear the turbo or whooshing turbo noise and loud dump, without the flutter. So I am...

    Hi guys, Got an awesome Bosch cambelt kit for my 2.5. Question, the water pump didn't come with new bolts and the provider confirmed that none of them do. I know I can re-use the old bolts but if the thread lock is too worn what can I use on the bolts? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    I am in search of inspiration for my car. I am struggling to find parts. I've made it through the forums and I see a lot of things that I like. The catch is how expensive and how difficult installation is. In the end, I want a cool car... Give me some inspiration please!

    I'm a teen who isn't very experienced with cars, but I wanna branch out into getting some under the hood mods. I recently had to get my rack and pinion replaced because of a power steering fluid leak but now Its free rein with what I can do. Preferably would want the mod to be under $600 -$700...

    The car runs perfectly fine at idle and at first this started with one coil going out, spark plugs have been service 10k miles ago all basic maintenance has been taken care of on this car and the random misfires happens only when I go past 5 pounds of boost, I don’t have a lot of knowledge on...

    Hey I know this has been talked about a few times but I haven't found any that align with what I'm doing exactly. I was just wondering if anyone has done a swap using an 01 manual to an 04. And if I should use certain clutch parts. I have contacted Hilton about the tune and that seems easy...

    After a couple of weeks of research, I finally decided on a stage 1 ECU tune to have shipped in. Are there any precautions/things I should/need to get done before actually doing the work? I have a 2004 Volvo s80 2.5t AWD, not a very common car at all, but there are a few reputable tuners, one...

    Hi all, I have a 2005 XC70 with about 157k on the clock and it has started making a whistling/screeching noise whenever the turbo is spooled. See attached videos. Any ideas as to what may be causing this, and how I can fix it? Also, acceleration seems a little sluggish. Here’s the videos: XC70
