Yes, but Open Deck are better suited as they have slightly better cooling. Open Deck will support 1,000hp--should be sufficient for your daily driver. :)
I’ve read and heard some things about the S60R’s cylinders that are known for cracking when put under high pressure, and was wondering if you knew how much pressure we are talking before I need to worry about a cylinder crack? I really want to get my hands on a ‘05 S60R within the next 2-3 years as a daily driver. Lets say the furthest I want to go is a classic stage 2 tune pushing 350hp. Will I need to buy sleeves or shims for the cylinders?
We can't give you a direct correlation to what would crack cylinders. The two biggest contributors are over heating and/or making over about 400hp. Shims are a lot of work for minimal gain, and they certainly aren't a guaranteed fix.
They crack because of shitty tunes on micro-sized turbos that creates too high cylinder pressures on low RPMs. You don't need sleeves to make lots of power with bone stock R engines. Here in Sweden we make 500whp and some even 600whp on stock 2.5t and R engines. The key is having it properly tuned on a dyno by a professional tuner on E85 with an aftermarket ECU. Keep torque in the lower rev range as low as possible and don't run too much ignition. Shims between cylinders will stop water from passing through and boiling. Americans always seem to spend money on the wrong things. Sleeves aren't necessary until about 800hp on 83mm bore block (that is 2.5t and R engine bore). If you want to make more than that switch to an 81mm B5244T5 block. They can make 1000hp plus. Or better yet, a D5 block. It has taller deck height and a beefier girdle plate.
@@wiktorhogberg1646 The stock tune must be shitty too. My block most likely just cracked at 118k miles. Forums are full of factory tuned cars cracking liners. I always have used 93 octane when available, and installed a do88 intercooler at 100k miles. Engine wasn't ever over heated under my ownership. I never pushed it until it was fully warmed up and always let it run to cool off before turning it off. It was a big mistake to manufacture this engine with 83mm bore.
@@wiktorhogberg1646 What is the EXACT recipe for taking a STOCK 'R' to 500whp? Im not based in America, im where Volvo 'R's are super rare so product support will be almost non existent.
on a block like that, the end result of sleeves are going to that loose on the the block? or it will end with tighter fit it will need glue or sealant?
Can you produce these with an 81mm bore for the 2.0t engines? I prefer the way the oversquare design on them revs out/sounds compared to the 2.4’s/2.5’s.
@@ELEVATEVOLVO Nah the 2.0L 5 cylinders, so B5204 (t-t9) not sure the US received them, but I think you did get the 2.4L B5244T5 that also ran 81mm bores?
since owning my volvo inline 5 turbo that shares a the platform with ford I've wondered if I could take my car to a Ford dealership and they would theoretically work on the engine in the volvo?
@@ELEVATEVOLVO thanks. In hindsight looking over the engine most of it is volvo parts. I'm about to do a mini teardown on the engine replacing head gaskets and timing belt pulley and water pump. Will shimming the engine work to help improve reliability or will it do more harm on the stock tune?
Where can can I find pricing for these sleeves and assembly ? It’s a matter of time before I crack my stock block. And I’m definitely looking to push my V70R to the limits and beyond. Thanks,

I think Volvo should have kept their performance engines for the R models a 2.4L or used the D5 Diesel Block. Both are stronger than the 2.5L Block especially the Diesel due to the nature of Diesel engines (very high compression, high peak cylinder pressures, etc). I recon one could build a 400-500hp gasoline engine using a D5 block.
@@SawDawify The Mk2 RS has a slightly different block with shallower cooling pockets between the liners and plasma sprayed bores. However, linering the block as shown here is just as doable. However, I think what Bill was talking about is the Mk3 Focus RS which uses a development of the Mazda MZR 4 cylinder engine, and is the only RS available in the US.
do you have valves springs, valves, valve seats, piston rings, pistons, piston rots, lifters, crankshaft, crankshaft bearing, etc. you need more parts Elevate ;) because one day I goan do the build of my life time with your parts. only :)
@@clonetrooper576 why would you put reinforced sleeves and forged pistons and make stock power? i am wondering how much power can a stock engine take. i have S60 T5 and i have plans for it. i heard that over 300 hp with stock internals, then you sould change con. rods for better ones. but how much power can stock pistons and crank take?
@@dominikhejl5748 I would do all those performance parts at stock power for maximum engine longevity. That being said, the bottom end of most of the whiteblock engines is already forged, and the T5 is the most desirable engine because it has thicker piston sleeves than the R engine, so it can take something of 400hp, while the R engine needs reinforcement to match that, they are pretty much identical though
Tons of people. I remember a time, maybe 5 years ago, when 3 of the 5 quickest four cylinders on Earth were Volvos. These days, with billet blocks being pervasive, that probably isn't the case, but they're very popular worldwide.
They can be great drag cars. The problem is getting them to hook up off the line. Also once you gut a Volvo you can lighten them up surprisingly good especially for what they are.
Saw this on the site today and it has raised my interest!
Thanks for taking a look!
Can you sell me this engine? thanks
I literally found out about these sleeves the week after I got.my Dartons... Next time I'll go with Elevate.
Sorry we missed you on this one. Hopefully we can assist in the future!
Молодцы ,хоть кто-то борется с современным автопромом, алюминевым говном.
I have a engine with 104mm bore spacing and would like to re-sleeve so I can increase piston size to 99.314mm. Is this possible?

Very informative, if after the new liners were installed one of them became damaged/scored are they replaceable ?
Absolutely! One of the many benefits to sleeving your block.
on a block like that, the end result of sleeves are going to that loose on the the block? or it will end with tighter fit it will need glue or sealant?
It's an interference fit so it's gonna be in there tight for a real setup. They warm the block and cool the sleeves to even get them in there.
It will be pressed, also is threaded!

Will I be able to use this sleeve in my 1998 Volvo v70 2.5 10 valve? (the engine that still has a distributor) I'm fantasizing to super charge it 😁
Sorry, we don't have any experience with that engine.
What kind of rods and pistons would pair up nice to these sleeves and would you need a new crankshaft
You'd absolutely be changing the crankshaft at this point. It'll be a brand new one at least, or likely a forged one.
Could u do this for a pentastar 3.6L
since owning my volvo inline 5 turbo that shares a the platform with ford I've wondered if I could take my car to a Ford dealership and they would theoretically work on the engine in the volvo?
