*meanwhile in sweden, even 240's are beating M3*
Kira Aurora stock 240’s???????
Wishful thinking you got there.
Kira Aurora well than i can put a rocket in my kart and beat the hell of every 4 wheeler!!
@@a.k1311 but atleast they have still redblocks in em.
In fact to tune a stock red block to 280-300hp is doable! Goes like a MF!!! Without a turbo! They are so fakking sexy these NA red blocks that are tuned!
The amount of miss-information here kills me.
Max Wiggin : please chime in, I’d like to learn more about modifying my V70R 👍🏻
Well, he says to upgrade to a BorgWarner turbo..... uhhh the factory turbo is a BorgWarner KKK K24.
And the hybrid is also a BorgWarner - a HYBRID of the K24.
Why don't try it out vs a M3 right now? See how far behind if behind you are? You might not need evrything you said.
There’s a chance this happens soon as well. Trying to iron out details.

Hilarious.... just do iT against a m3 with a supercharger!!
You're NOT going to kill any M3 with a Volvo. Especially not an E46. The M3 power delivery, chassis, suspensions etc are all tuned for great 'Handling'. While the Volvo R can be tuned for slightly better handling and loads of power, you will find yourself foundering trying to catch up with an M3 on many roads, regardless of how you tune it. The M3 being over a ton lighter says a lot. On the other hand, the Volvo has tons of great attributes the M3 can't even come close; comfort, space, safety to name a few. They are different all together. I enjoy both at what they're made for. Both great cars. Compare the V70 with other brands of wagons and it will come up on top.
The E46 is only 300-400 pounds lighter. Not a ton difference in weight. V70R is 3750-3800 lbs, e46 is 3400-3450
@@ShiftingLanes A hyperbole
A Volvo center cap would look way better than that Pimp Daddy looking center cap. To each his own. NICE ASS WHEELS THOUGH!!!
We have some! Just gotta put them on. They’ll be there for the next video 🙂

Your a little off on the "shimming" portion of the video, its all done on the top end. Essentially these 2.5L motors are an open deck design and each cylinder is separated from one another (by a very small slit) and separated from the block top portion (open deck). These motors started off as a 2.3L in the older 850R cars and are very strong and can take a bunch of boost, then they were punched out to 2.4L for the low boost applications (regular turbo volvo's) and I believe the later T5 models (around 05-06) as the added displacement gave better bottom end torque (again, quite strong).
However Volvo decided to go big and bore out the motor to 2.5L leaving little meat in the cylinder walls. What seems to happen is that the tops of the cylinders (being unsupported and with little thickness) oscillate with the movement of the piston especially under high HP numbers. Think of the cylinder being a circle from top down, well under high RPM's and high HP they morph from circle to oval to circle to oval ect ect as the piston moves up and down. This, over time, causes a small crack to form at the top of the cylinder wall leading to loss of compressing and burning coolant.
The easiest way to prevent this is to put very thin shims between the cylinders helping to strengthen them, this is where they seem to crack generally so it's the go to for most people. There are full shim deals where it basically turns the motor into a closed deck design but they are very expensive and have to be done by a specialist.
The odd thing about it is the cracking is very inconsistent. Some people have 300k on the original motor with no problems, some people have cracks at 80k with the original motor. Other have tunes and are over 150k with no issues and some, well, do not. It's very inconsistent and seems like you get a good motor or not and the miles and tune are not a huge determining factor. Hell, I just picked up an 04 S60R with an IPD green tune and original 200k motor and it runs great.
At any rate if your upping the power shimming the block is a very good way to prevent a bigger problem down the road.
Fellow V70R owner and general Volvo "collector".
In sweden we only change the injektors to 630cc and tune on E85 and get 420hp
e85 "miljö" bränslet som är det lätta sättet att få saker att gå sönder!
Klas Peppar varför skulle det va det? En kille i Frankrike har kört sin på E85 länge å många mil utan större problem.
Lets not tell muricans how to get ton of power out of T5 or we wont have T5's soon.
Were do you get your 630cc injectors?

idk how but i smoked a new sti in my 06 v70r, its a manual to but i just have a screaming exhaust and intake lol they are fast cars stock
I’m sorry for the comment by my friend who went on my youtube account. I have a flash green v70r myself, and really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
How would I contact any of these tuners? I love in Canada and own an S40 T5 AWD
Thanks, Gregsen for all of the great information and detailed thinking update!!! : ) ...great vid.!!!
Why didn’t you start off with a Volvo S60 R, if you wanted to go head to head with a BMW M3....???
500 for an airfilter? No tnx
keesie75 hot air intake. #snakeoil
Great car and I like Volvo a lot. My mechanic have Korea Neo Tech suspension demo to me for a ride, that is fantastic !
Ethanol + k24 turbo
Borg Warner KKK K24 stock turbo already
Upgrade to a BorgWarner turbo..... ?? uhhh the factory turbo is a BorgWarner KKK K24.
And the hybrid is also a BorgWarner - a HYBRID of the K24.
But yes the hybrid is good over 400hp according to Gustav.
Snabb, means fast in swedish :)
All you need is a snow storm or a dirt road to leave the m3 behind
rob b
You’ll never see an M3 in those conditions though
@@jgripen969 meanwhile, you'll see volvos on dirt roads in china
Put it on the track and see how far behind you get xD But volvo`s can be a real sleeper, much potential in V70R for example
pol aris
Lovely E39
I have a e39, not mine on the picture tho :) but similar
pol aris
Same here. Got a 540. Looking for an M5, preferably Le Mans blue. Best generation of Bimmers ever created. Saw (and heard) a stunning M5 on his way to Bimmers of Sweden earlier this year. Been hooked ever since ;)
what wheels are those?
I'm wondering if the 2002 Volvo v70 P26 ( Ocean race ) 2,4T fwd is rare. I've just bought one tuned really cheap with 320 whp and i love it
How are you liking the BCs? My stock 4c is on its last legs, and i’ve heard mixed opinions about it, it’d be nice to not shell out $1800 for the KWs!
Gustav and contrast are the exact same thing. One is his name on sweedspeed and the other is his tuning name
Yea someone let me know in another comment. Had no idea. Thank you!
-Gregson
PLEASE tell me what wheels these are!! I've been looking for wheels like that, which fit my V70.. UN-findable..
I’m selling them. Want them?
I want 19 inch wheels and these aren't 19 inch. Could you please tell me what kind these are? Did u use adapters? Or do they fit on the orriginal hub?
For that money I feel like I would just buy an e63s amg wagon and be able to beat a lot more than an m3
Or you could buy a Volvo C30 and B8444S swap it (a 4.4 liter Yamaha V8).
And then slap on a supercharger and beat every thing.
It’s a solid option. Not gonna lie, have though about that as well, but you can find V70Rs for $4,000-6,000 and throwing $15,000 at it will still be far under the cost of a 2008 AMG wagon. Those prices have gone up considerably here on the east coast USA recently.
-Gregson
That being said, I love what you've done with your magicama wagon. Looks super good. I can't wait to have my studebaker wagon back on the road as well
I love AMGs as much as any other eurohead but there is NO WAY that an e63s is a cost effective option for performance compared to a modified v70r.
Basic maintenance alone is huge on the AMG, not to mention the purchase price difference.
Sure, the AMG is a killer powerhouse, but you're comparing apples to oranges.
@@seanocd I usually do all and any maintenance myself anyway. While Mercedes parts are usually somewhat expensive, the difference really isn't much more than any other european car.
Love FCP Euro.. And I'll be getting a tune from contrast for my sonic blue M66 V70R when I get everything done to it. Have you got the AWD fixed on yours yet? Also go with viva performance for a single mass clutch kit. And also to shim the block you have to pull the head not the bottom end
Sonic M66_V70R awesome! FCP is the best.
Can you pls send me link to those wheels or the name. Want thise on my s60
Advanti Rein from ViVA Performance. Check their website. I said the name in the video 🙂
-Gregson
@@ShiftingLanes lol thanks i commented that in the begining
Be careful with how much boost you run on the stock B5254T4 (w/o sleeves). Russian guys seem to go with the 2.3L as it can hold more boost.
It's all in the tune and driver. Multiple people are running over 400awhp through the stock block. Highest I've seen was 540awhp with a better flowing head.
How about Heico as a Tuner.
Have considered , but unsure of the US emissions/legality and the price. You get more for your money from those mentioned.
-Gregson
ShifthingLanes) Gregson) I guess that both could be an issue, i you where going to get it tuned by Heico it would probably have to be sent to Germany and that could get expensive really and would take months.
team "AD WAGON" typical american " throw money at it" channel! in ENGLAND if we want to beat a bmw ANY bmw with a volvo? we just wait until it rains & laugh as the bmw comes out of the corner backwards!
Greatings from Poland. I love this Volvos :-) Isn't 2.3 liter T5 better for tuning?
2.4 T5 is best i think :)
Yea. But the 2.5L is the best stock engine if you wanted to have a stock car.
The 2.5T is best depending on goals/budget. Lots of people swap the smaller block because the smaller bore is less likely to crack. That being said, people have put in different sleeves on the 2.5 and held as much power as you can practically use. I’m not speaking from experience but I’d imagine the 2.5 would make power easier in terms of a mod per mod basis.
I love the car but you really need to learn a bit more about how these things work and I think you have a lot more fun with it
Cant wait!
Much want....or a 2018 E63 AMG S wagon I can't afford.
Looks like I got my s60r just in time
Still crazy I got to get a second job just upgrade the damn thing lmao. But I've had a blast with her. 06 auto with 68k miles.
It's so expensive to build a volvo. Like taking a pile of cash and burning it. To me it seems like there is not much of a power gain by putting 15k into one of these. That being said, Ill probably still end up doing it.
argonian bilbo power isn’t the issue. These will actually make power pretty easy. Sure it might not be 2JZ or coyote or anything like that but you have to worry about the trans/drivetrain components breaking generally before the engine.
Love it
TURBO DAD
Brb, definitely changing the name of the series to this 😂
-Gregson
YES PLEASE!
Good video homie! Loving the Wagon :D
Thanks Mikie! Be sure to check out our other videos🙂
-Gregson
Calder Racing in Scotland can only get about 350hp out of theirs so far. They regularly sell these cars on Ebay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232781633345?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 - I prefer the newer shape to yours, this Mattsson guy has spent some serious money on this one here. th-cam.com/video/mILIeFvKP8g/w-d-xo.html
No those rims do not look good.. Having anything other than R-rims on an R is just tragic
When you’re ready to sell it, let me know.
i like your wheels
Thanks! Me too.
-Gregson
So let’s spend 15k+ to make it a m3 killer...👏👏👏👏
The droner totally. I’m a Volvo guy and still think the premise of this build is a joke.
Too far away otherwise we'd drag our Rs just for kicks and giggles 😍
Gustav Urbas is contrast 😁
Haha thanks! 😂 had no idea. Appreciate the clarification.
-Gregson
Weak Engine?
Damn you boys can't tune Volvos. The white Engine can handle 500 HP easy.
With those upgrades you mention you have an Engine for 700 HP, and more, Jesus. Add concrete and you can pass 1100 HP.
The white block has a very well known issue of cylinder wall cracking due to the increased 2.5l bore up from the 2.4. Throwing 500hp at this engine without reinforcing it somehow is just asking for trouble.
-Gregson
Thats why you dont build on the 2,5L Engine but the 2,3.
Bigger isnt always better 🤣🤣
Haha exactly. 2.3 or 2.4 will hold the power WAY better. But for this build I wanted to stay true to the 2.5 so that's why I suggested the shimming.
-Gregson
Fun project, but in real life the m3 will always outgun every volvo when you talk about handling, driving experience etc. Max horsepower is not everything. Ps: not biased, i drive an audi.
If you're American and talking about an E36 M3 I wouldn't say you're a million miles away in the first place.
You will struggle to get it to handle as well but grip and power should be pretty easy.
E46 has been the target
-Gregson
That's a bit more of a challenge but I still don't think you're going to struggle.
Awesome 😃 👍
Wud rather drive an M3 anyway ;)
Sloppymargarita mmm No M3 wagons in USA.

I remember a time when volvo's were driven by respectable people not hooligans and idiots
michael gill one of the most idiotic statements I’ve heard all week
the amount of "respectable" people is almost zero in todays society
When you said “smash the thumbs up button”, I clicked the dislike button.

It’s a Volvo bro do whatever it can handle it. 😎🇸🇪
