@blackpearlc30 mainly focused on modified cars and classic car restoration . 5 years of professional classic car restoration main focused hobby was building a Volvo C30 T5 . all fabrication was completed by myself C30 T5 GT28 turbo 273WKW /366WHP 598nm torque 3 button clutch ,solid mass fly wheel big brake kit and slotted disks all round oil cooler, intercooler shimmed block bucket seats, rear brace turbo-back exhaust custom built
Depends on the turbo ,manufacturers don't stick to one size flange , you can get then in t3 or t4 . That's why I always suggest get the manifold first and take it with to your turbo shop and see what will work for you
@@TraviG15 Do you have LAG with that k28 turbo? Can the engine hold all that power, only with the reinforcement plates between cylinders? How much power are you getting now with that last stage?
S60R manifold any of those s60 manifolds will work but just keep in mind you might have to alter the flange for the turbo depending on what turbo you use , gt28 turbo with a t3 flange and I had to alter it
I have a 2008 looks exactly like yours, engine is old but everything is still working great, I wanna do something like this but have no idea just how much money I’d have to put in it
I guess it depends If you do it on your own or get a company to do it, this took me a couple years and still there was so much to do ,or that I would want to do
I need advice and info please! I'm based in the uk and have a S40 T5 bone stock, where can I got to get everything from the lowering springs & spacers, to exhaust performance and engine performance?? @TraviG15
It's an S60R manifold but a normal 850 turbo manifold would work too 👍but note that your new turbo flange should be the same as stock turbo from that car or you will have to redo the flange holes
Well the main weakness on these motors is between the sleeves of the block(they tend to Crack) , these need to be shimmed , with either brass or stainless plate , it's an easy upgrade but depending what your end goal is , if you chasing big power I would pin the sleeves to the sides of the block too , this will help keep the sleeves in form and will allow you to push more boost .
@luisdelpozo9674 unfortunately not but there are a couple photos of what it looks like , it's a simple job in its self obviously just means you have to take the cylinder head off , therefore will be costly on spares to replace gaskets ,seals , timing belt etc
If adding mods can’t I just install a turbo control valve I’m putting in from elevate, do I need all the boost gauges ? Putting many mods including exhaust downpipe and intake,. Charge pipe and tune
You don't need to run all the gouges, all depends if you want to see what levels your car is running at or not , it's not a must and there are other ways to do it like with an OBD reader and a phone/iPad . If you running an aftermarket boost controller like GFB they display tells you what boost you are running. There are many ways to run a setup like this 😁
Depends on where you are based in the world but E30 is fine for any of the c30 .if you have your original owner manual ,it will tell you in there specifically for your car
Depends at which point in the build , at first had a 77mm downpipe and back box delete , later 100mmdownpipe and 76mm straight pipe at the back ,now it has a full custom 76mm with one box and a resonator
Thanks man I made it myself, used the original outer piece and then just got hex mesh ,glue ,plastic welding and some filler and painting and there it is . You can buy similar ones from the Uk though
@@TraviG15 thak you very much, I'll try when I'll find a cheap front grill for my "facelift" version. They're € 200+ on ebay😑. Is the mesh you used also made out of plastic?
HOLY TORQUE! VERY impressive, awesome build, admirable DIY commitment. My wife and I am eyeing a manual one with kind of high mileage of 120k for a low price for her as a daily/project. This makes it very tempting.
I did this conversion on my car at 190k on the clock but I did rebuild the motor , regardless if you go highly modified or not , superb car and epic fun to drive
Going from auto to manual is much easier than the other way around , mine is manual but I almost bought a polestar that I wanted to convert . You can message me on Instagram if you like and I'll explain Travis_g_15
I have a volvo s40 t5 2.5 stock and I eat golf 5 .6 gti i only get to compete with the golf 7 r it puts out 250 hp and 350 nm of torque I wouldn't trade it for anything and it's stock
Ooooh I would have no clue but generally in the same generations volvo tenders to stick to a similar chassis but it all honesty if you have enough time and patience you can make anything fit 👏🏻😂
At that moment it had Intake , downpipe(100mm) ,intercooler, 320mm disc upgrade, ported and flowed head , shimmed block , oil cooler , and semi slick tyres
Sorry to hear that , yeah it’s a great idea 👏🏻the only problem is the ECU , you might have to go aftermarket to make it work but if it’s AWD will be a beast and an awesome project
It won't fit. Volvo had to repackage the 5 cylinder engine in order to make it fit into the Ford Focus/S40/V50 chassis. In the S60R, the engine sits on the subframe. In the S40 the engine hangs between the chassis rails. Easier to just modify the S40 T5 engine
Iv gotten an s40 2004 plate with engine damage for free . Its automatic. Do you know if the manuel versions have same flywheel bold iv heard of some autos being different. Ascars i can get emgines from are Manuel transmission
Hey buddy , thanks man . So there are different options you can use poly Bush and change your stock one but I actually did that on the previous generation mount and it seems stronger
Hi there , quick question if you can help , I'm planning a stage 1 tune for my c30 t5 but i'm not sure if the geartronic can handle the extra power safely . Any info would help , thx so much
It more than definitely can , I know of autos that have had k16 turbo and pushing plenty power . Stage one isn’t a huge gain .. just make sure your gearbox services are up to date , they are very strong boxes
Hi , i've just bought a c30 t5 , sad thing is ,here in Tunisia we've got no spare parts for theses engines , i feel like my car's engine needs some kind of a refresh , what should i start with ? Advices ?
Hey man , I would start with a full service and engine flush , coolant flush , brake flush and just go through all services parts and I’m sure it will freshen up the car and while you at it do a compression test
