- A video I made showing the chronological progress repairing my 850R and bringing it back to life to be enjoyed that way it was intended. It started with the discovery of a lost cylinder which turned out to be a burnt exhaust valve. Instead of getting rid of the car or leaving it neglected, I decided to try and repair it myself. Before this, I've had little experience working on cars so this was a great learning process for me.
While repairing the head, I decided now was a great time to add some performance parts while the engine bay was apart. Parts added were larger blue injectors, larger 16t turbo, full exhaust system, all new maintenance items, intake, front mount intercooler, big brake kit, full suspension, springs, sway bars, etc.
But, this video was made a while ago. I didn't publish it because the car has since gone through another round of upgrades since making this video; M56 manual swap, larger hybrid k24 turbo, even larger 900cc Deatschwerks injectors, Quaife LSD, etc. I was planning on editing it again to include the new changes. But, once again...the car is currently going through another, third, round of changes and I've realized I will never be done or satisfied with this "project". Therefore, I decided to publish this video as it is and have some more Volvo content for all Volvoheads out there.
Thank you to everyone who helped, commented, provided tips, sold me parts, lent a hand, etc. I really learned a ton in the process and I'm very appreciative. Big thanks to all who's name you saw in the engine bay shot. Big thanks to Robert DIY for his countless 850 videos. And big thanks to FCP Euro who sponsored a part of this build, I appreciate you guys, your parts, and your support!
Enjoy!

Love seeing this 850R come back to life! Badass car man, keep it happy and on the road!
Thank you FCP! It goes without saying that you guys rock and I am so happy that a company like you serves the Volvo community. Seriously, the fact that you guys give lifetime replacements on your parts is just so amazing. And the customer service has always been easy and top notch. Big thanks to you guys, always, and please give my regards to Roselli!
When I work on my 850T5 people comment on how do I know how to do all these repairs, I always say" I'm only as smart as all the people I learned from. Awesome project and nice that you acknowledge all the great 850 gurus that help all of us with these fantastic cars. Without Robert DIY and many others on the great forums, I think there would be many more 850's in the junkyard :-((
I totally agree! Every single time I had an issue, I would look it up online and I'll find Robert coming in clutch with a video on it. From how to figure out what's your radio code to how to open a stuck gas tank door to doing an entire head gasket job lol. Can't thank these online guys enough, the least I could do was put their online name as a sticker on my ecu box. Thank you very much for watching!
shoutout robert diy the man is actually a legend
Really dope, sometimes I’m kinda a snob about video production and editing and stuff like that. But dude. This is really professional. Your work hasn’t gone unnoticed. The dash ding hit home tho.
Thank you Cole, that really means a lot. I wish I had better equipment and stuff and some better skills for editing and grading and what not to make it even better but I worked within my limits. The dash ding was probably my favorite part! Those few seconds really captured the long, frustrating process of this build and the reward with getting it back up and running. Initially it wouldn't start and I had no idea why. Naturally I started second guessing all my work. But it turned out to be the camshaft position sensor that just went bad. As soon as I got a replacement in it fired right up and we were back in business. Thank you for watching!
Great editing!!! And I can see the passion thru the lense! Awesome!!!
Thank you and thank you for watching!
I love my Heico HS7 wagon but a special place is with my black 850R. Homage to the Moose. Great video
Thank you for watching!

Nice vid! Good motivation to do some more work on my daily driver 850 R.
Go for it and share!
Super Work ❤️😁😁
Awesome video, high five 👌 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
You've inspired me to work more on my v70. Great video man! Never give up🤙
That's awesome man! That's what it's all about. Patience and time will get you the results you need, regardless of a few busted knuckles :)
Very nice, wish i had documented more along the way.
Ota Greven hey it’s never too late. Do more stuff to the car and document them haha
wow nice job man !
Thank you for watching 🤙
Great job , Bro :D
Thanks 😁
DAT S60R color is soo dope
Such a classic color I agree
love it!
Big respect!👍
Thank you for watching!
Nice work and Nice video. Keep it for the rest of your life because five cylinders and combustion engines are slowly going away.
Most definitely, this 850 isn't going anywhere! Thanks for watching.
mA bro you’re very talented with the camera! Hope we can meet up someday 🤟Great progress so far!
Omar Plat thanks man. We will definitely meet up one day once the car is back and up running. Maybe come do some canyon runs like I always see you doing. Would be sweet with the platty!
Hello 5Versus8 , Right on with the 5 versus 8 cylinders...i am a fiver owner with a Butter 95 R all stock except for the Alpine stereo. Currently my Butter sits idle for my focus is on my 99 V70 R wagon in Lazer blue just got it back from a local shop here in Northern California...(not a Volvo shop) it's running pretty darn good but time will tell. Hopefully will get to the Butter soon with the biggest fix is a bad tranny not sure what route i will take on this one and i am leaning towards more stock with mild mods. Again like your post and i look forward to updated ones. Jim aka... My Volvo life/world
Great video :’)
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video man!
Thank you brotha. You're probably gonna be all up in part 2 lolll
@@5versus826 haha well I'm looking forward to it man! I love the videos
@@moosemg850 someone's gotta make some 😁
@@5versus826 well I'll build you some new shit man. Get you hooked up.
I come back this often..especially now, to get me thru my absence of 'weekend wrenching' which I have neglected to do... V70/AE86/Spec-V/300e/64 VW...yes, long list.
Every volvo guy needs to see this vid
Hits you in the feels, don't it.
Great video man. Love it as long as it’s on mute. Lol just kidding.. great camera work and a great car
lolll
I bought a '97 850R brand new with 87 miles on it. At 142k a short on the fan caused an engine fire that destroyed the car, a freak 1 in a million chance according to Volvo USA. Volvo USA offered me a whole $2,000 off a new car. Needless to say I wasn't happy. I miss that car to this day. White on your car looks really nice.
Oh man, that's absolutely horrible. That sucks that happened and it sucks they only gave you that amount, and you had to buy a new car to even get that credit. It's never too late to find another one! And thank you, I was actually thinking of wrapping the car because I thought the white was a little boring. Maybe I'll keep it the way it is :)
This was a pleasure to watch :) Manual swap next? ;)
Thank you brother. And spoiler alert, but I mentioned in the description that it has already been M56 swapped. With a Quaife lsd too 😂
I identify with the busted knuckles!!
Dude haha, story of my life!
Hey man nice done I love Volvo old beast make some test runs stability corners turns start 0-200 lest see go open.
Awesome build. I wish I had the patience and equipment to document my build like you did. I T5 swapped my NA S70. 19t with bigger intercooler, green injectors, NA cams ect. Ill make a video detailing what it takes to convert a non turbo car at some point this winter. Just wish I had documented everything like you did. I have photos but not much good video.
Ian Carpenter Hey anything is better than nothing. Photos work just as good as video and I’ll be interested to see that process. Because you always see people modifying turbo cars, you never see how people modify NA cars. And in your case it’s actually converting an NA to a T5. Your car sounds like it rips!
@@5versus826 Thanks man. It hauls ass. I beat a tuned 535 that was the fastest car at my school before a I beat him. The NA to Turbo conversion is simple in concept but involves a lot of labor. Have to swap over engine, engine harness, and fuel system including the fuel tank. I would only ever do it again on a perfect condition NA car. It was worth it though to turn my first car into my dream car.
@@5versus826 I just noticed you went with Koni shocks and H&R springs. How do you like this set up? I'm going to be doing suspension next on my car.
@@iancarpenter5488 that's freaking awesome man. Those bmws are no joke either. I'm sure you're gonna keep your car for a very long time.
@@iancarpenter5488 so far so good. If I did it all over again, I probably would have gone bc racing coilovers just to get a little more low, nothing else. But other than that, they're great. And a good happy medium if you don't want to be too low and scraping into everything
I noticed this was in the Dallas area and there were other Volvo enthusiasts I live also in the DFW area and have been looking for other Volvo enthusiasts
Are you on IG?
@@5versus826 yes @thatoneblackvolvo
Where can I get the roof spoiler in front of the bars from? Is Thule still selling them? Btw , extreme cool video , one can see there’s a lot of work, blood and sweat in this project 👌🏻
Hello and thank you for watching. Yes, you should still be able to find the "fairing" made by Thule. It all depends on what length you want. Here is an example: www.adventuresedge.com/product/thule-fairing-65181-1.htm
Did you rebuild the head? What was wrong with it? Cool video, awesome car. All these parts you changed reminded me all I did when I got my v70 haha
Thank you and thanks for watching. Yes, I got the head machined and I replaced the one exhaust valve that had a nice chunk of metal missing from it lol. Although, I wish I would have spend some more time and effort properly "rebuilding" the head before I put it back on. For example, I wish I re did the valve seals because those seemed to be worn. Every morning when I start the car, a little smoke exits the exhaust for a few minutes until it's warmed up. That is oil that found its way into the cylinders overnight by way of worn valve seals. As soon as I start it up in the morning, that oil gets burned off and exits the exhaust. Once the car is warmed up throughout the day, you don't see the smoke anymore. But that is very indicative of worn valve seals.
❤️❤️❤️
Wow nice Work !
All needed Stuff come together!
Why is the Cylinder Head blue inside ?
And how is the OBX? Exaust ?
The car has since transformed again. A lot more fun now :) update video needed soon.
About the OBX, it turned out that it had very bad fitment and couldn’t even get installed so I ended up exchanging it for a maximizer exhaust which is the same exact thing as the OBX but in a black color. It’s been OK.
@@5versus826 do you have still the obx exaust ? If you Ship top Germany i would buy it :)

Where did you get the tune for that 16T and how did you like it
I got the tune from Vast Tuning, formerly Beust. It was good, but I don't have the 16t setup anymore. I have a hybrid k24 also tuned by Vast.
1st mod i would have done was a manual gearbox conversion! Lol. (Before i get accused of trolling, My daily is a 1995 850 T5 CD manual wagon, 86K genuine miles, HLM304 remap, 16T, White injector's, Genuine early RIP kit, 302mm front discs, Etc!)
Nice. But yes, the car currently has an M56 in it with a quaife LSD, hybrid K24, 950cc injectors, and e85. Much better than the setup seen in this video. Going big turbo soon as well. Thanks for watching Scotty
