Chris Curzon's S60 T5 Build Thread

[lukecupra2001]

I LOVE VOLVOS!!!

ive been toyin with idea of one for awile as can pick them up cheap, even from volvo themselves.
was having a look at remaps for them and the later 260bhp T5s go to 300bhp+ and 300ft/lb+ easy.
keep the thread going it mite come in handy if i get one!

Yeah was a bargin
RICA have just realised a revise map which they say gets up to 310bhp with pretty much the same torque so that should do nicely!

Is the engine in the T5 the same as the one in the Focus ST? 2.5 turbo i think?

 

[ChrisCurzon]

its a 2.3 in the T5 but same engine really 2.5 in the ST is just bored out more.

I have a TD04 16t turbo though
