Swapping my 850 platinum from a 16t to a k24 was the best engine modification I've ever done. Coupled with the bosch green injectors, 4bar fpr, Forge cpv and wastegate, snabb intake and fmic and a tune by Va5t she not only pulls like a jet on takeoff but gets about 30mpg cruising on the interstate.
Thanks for bringing this information forward. I have 2 P80 Turbos that have 200,000 miles on them. They seem to be performing well, but I am going to seriously look into them being rebuilt with the upgrades. Thanks for sharing your Volvo knowledge. The old professor.
Hey Robert - I'm always stoked to see one of your videos pop up when I do a search. Thanks for the great info, especially that you'd recommend not rebuilding these things yourself. I see all sorts of kits out there but also read that there is some balancing that is recommended and that seemed like something for a pro shop. When you said it's one of the things you leave to the pros, that sealed the deal for me too. Thanks again!
Hi Robert! Another problem these old turbos can create is engine oil consumption, before rebuilding mine I got the inter cooler pipes full of oil and it was burning about 1L\1000 km, no shaft play at all, just a leaky seal. These oil leaks are specially dangerous on diesel engines, if the engine starts to feed on the oil coming from the turbo then you can end up with an engine runaway. Remember guys, look after your turbos!
Robert, just wanted to let you know I truly enjoy your videos, such a pleasure to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about. Thank you sir, much respect...
Great video bud. I was considering turbo upgrades for my xc70. Currently got the low comp. It broke my heart, the local junkyard had a t5 s60 I was going to grab the turbo out of that. Cause cheap and easy. They crushed it before I could get it. 😂 Now keep my eye out for k24. We will ee what fate brings. Robertdiy Keep on creating!
Spoke with Tony at A1 Turbo, he is going to build a full upgraded turbo for my 2006 Volvo XC70. I’m stoked! Running an Elevate tune, 3” Catless 304 front to back. Roll on my friend!
Hey Robert, thanks for this great video. I just came across one of these upgraded k24s from A-1 local to me that a club member ended up not using. do I need new seals to swap it in? is a tune and/or new intake piping needed to see the HP gains?
i've heard when it comes to tuning though the 19t flows better than the k24 and has the potential to make more power but has had the reputation of bending rods if the tune isn't 100% spot. I know for a fact though the 19t is easier to buy and install on these p80/p2 volvos unless you are able to obtain a k24 from a junkyard.
I'm not sure who told you that but they are incorrect. The K24 flows ~100cfm more than a 19t. If you search the forums you can find the exact numbers and comparisons between a 18t, 19t, and K24.
@@RobertDIY I was thinking of putting the upgraded manifold and downpipe for ease of work and longevity to vehicle (just want it done quality well with out putting so much strain for power it damages)
The Audi 200s (20v Turbo), 1992-1995.5 S4/S6 came with the K24-7000. The Audi RS2 came with the K24-7200. The Volvo S60R & V70R came with the K24-7400. Curious - did the S60 really come with a k24 turbo? Can't seem to find the info on the interwebs.
Sooo, i have the base model 2006 volvo v70 2.5t... can i simply get one of these k24 turbos and throw it on the car and it will fit no modifications? I would like to do the same thing for my 2001 v70t5...
I just found this while looking for info on the k24. I have one that I bought brand new and never used. But now I want to use it on my mr2 spyder. I have a 2zz ge installed and I am looking to find out if the k24 would work without being to big and having alot of lag.
I'm assuming sending an S70 turbo to a1. Would you're similar results if only to make it bullet proof. I'm sure the guy getting that gonna need a new back seat cushion. Lol🤩
Do you know what car models and years get this turbo so I can check the yards. Also what’s the most you’d pay for a k24 (not rebuilt). Asking for my 96 850 Platinum
Depends on how bad I need one and how much money I have. LKQ sells them for $225 shipped and will give you back $$$ of you return any turbo to them. You need more than just the turbo for the N cars. I'll post a link on my website, the video is in my Patreon site.
Red Barron is getting a RN engine and K24 turbo. Panther has the TDO4 19T. Queen Bee is getting a TD04 18T (from a '99 V70R) which was rebult with mods.
What kind of PSI gains can one expect by upgrading the turbines on a 16T? Namely going with MambaTek billet kits. Cost and performance effectiveness is it better to upgrade your 16T or to jump to a k24?
I don't think cost is much different when changing the parts. PSI is relevant to your other mods. I know of people running 24+ PSI on their 16T. Cranking up the PSI just makes the turbo spin faster and wear out quicker. The key is to have a power gain target and communicate with your tuner based on that.

diltzm I got a plat too! Do you have insta?
Nice.
Yes
I was thinking of doing this with an rn swap into my platinum since my current engine needs to come out anyway.
Any internal engine changes needed for this larger turbo?

Connect a temporary boost gauge so you can see if it's reaching proper boost pressure.

Not sure what "flows better" means but the K24 produces more power that's why people switch to it.
Stock turbo has a 270 degree thrust bearing. Upgrade is a 360 degree bearing
Cool, thanks for sharing.
Wish we could get a K24/K26 hybrid for the P3 - 3.0 T6 Volvos :/
LOL Those T6 cars are fast already.
Fully paid vacation in South Africa offered :) ... 400K speaks for itself!
Contact me through my website or Whats App
This turbo is also used in porsche vehicles
Wow! Thanks for sharing.
What turbo is on the stock 1998 Volvo V70 GLT, and what turbo can I use/replace if I can't fix it?
13t, 13t, 13g, (15g or 16t will add aggression and should not damage anything)

Yes, somewhere around 2008. Probably the T5 cars.
Coming back a year later - the T5 badged S60s did indeed come with K24-7400 turbos (2.4T).
Great video robert, how do you prime the turbo before starting the first time
Disconnect fuel and crank the engine until the oil pressure light goes out.
I have a 2008 Volvo C30 can the k24 turbo work as an upgrade
I don't think so. I believe the turbo is part of the exhaust manifold.
I have a 2013 s60 t5 front wheel drive. What upgraded turbo would you suggest for me? Great information on the turbos.
I have no idea. Best to check with whomever you'd hire to tune it. Check with Hilton.
Did you upgrade your turbo on your P3? I have and could offer advice.
hello Robert, could you tell me if the K24 hybrid give more lag than a classic td04 ? thanks a lot for all your videos ( sorry i'm french)
Yes.
@@RobertDIY thanks, so i gonna lost some torq before 3000rpm ?
Robert...is a tune needed to ECM?
Anytime you upgrade a turbo larger than 1 size, the ECU should be tuned.
Sooo, i have the base model 2006 volvo v70 2.5t... can i simply get one of these k24 turbos and throw it on the car and it will fit no modifications? I would like to do the same thing for my 2001 v70t5...
should get a computer tune.
I just found this while looking for info on the k24. I have one that I bought brand new and never used. But now I want to use it on my mr2 spyder. I have a 2zz ge installed and I am looking to find out if the k24 would work without being to big and having alot of lag.
Sad to say, I have no idea. I'd check with a turbo guy.
What about putting it on a 2000 S70 GLT? Do a video on GLT turbo upgrades
I think that turbo would blow that engine.
I'm assuming sending an S70 turbo to a1. Would you're similar results if only to make it bullet proof. I'm sure the guy getting that gonna need a new back seat cushion. Lol🤩
🤣🤣
Are there any other turbos that you would recommend
No sir. I don't even know what kind of car you have.
What's the cost of a top turbo rebuild like this?
Contact Tony for details. He number should be in the comments.
Where do you get the tach with the boost gauge???????
Huh?

row52.com/Vehicle/Index/YV1TS91Z441373450 is 2004 s80 2.9L t6 one of them?
No, you'll want one from a S60 T5 or S60R from '04 through '07.
Oh. Your description said s80 I didn’t know which year though. Do you know what turbo that s80 will have
Some S80's have a K24 but have a different mounting arrangement. So this specific turbo does not drop in the S80.
What turbos do you have on your 3?
Red Barron is getting a RN engine and K24 turbo. Panther has the TDO4 19T. Queen Bee is getting a TD04 18T (from a '99 V70R) which was rebult with mods.
Prime the oil system??

@@RobertDIY can you use this K24 turbine in a P3 car with K16 turbo? I'd rather have a K24 with a k26 compressor if it can be done...
Curious on that turbo rebuild for the V70R from A1...... that set up low to midrange rpm? Or mid range to high rpm ...boost that is??
I don't understand your question. Call me and explain.
Do these happen to be ball bearing turbos? In my 01 v70 under heavy load its sounds like i can hear the bearings in the turbo whining.
Nope.
@@RobertDIY Would that be a sign of shaft play?
Could be something else whining. Turbo's usually whistle.
First comment. Lol!
Nice.
