Modded V70 T5 - Page 2

Jan Elwoth is a former long term Volvo employee in their engine development dept. who is capable, informed and equipped to write good software. If it was written against a full declaration of the modifications I would say the engine should be well managed by his calibrations and the output would be near the 300bhp figure, maybe a bit more. The standard internals will be just fine.... provided the previous owner has not made any mechanical changes around boost control such as tightening the wastegate etc. You would not want to be seeing much over 18 psi to keep on the safe side, certainly in the lower rev. range

Pricewise here in the UK you would not want to be paying much over £1500...if that.

Jan Elwoth's site is www.wothrline.com

If you contact him I am sure he can give you some background to whatever work he did on the ECU.

Regards, Don.

Or, just don't floor it until after 3-3500k rpm.

Thx he said its on a safe tune. So that means there's more in it. Im going to buy it. Ive never had a turbo car. I have a Ford Lightning im going to sell so i can buy the volvo. I will stay in touch and post pics when I get it

Did any 2001 v70 t5s come with the t56 manual transmission?

Ok guy pic up my Volvo today. Didn't close hood good and flew back and broke. 1st day and I already broke something. But this car is a beast it has green injectors 3.5 down pipe,3inch cat back, worthline remaped ecu and a 19T turbo. Suspension is all ipd. H&R springs. I got all this for $3000. A/C works and heat. This is my first turbo car and I have to say every car I own from now on will have boost. Tell me what yall think

I think you really don't want to know.

Looks tidy... Apart from the damage

I wonder why it's got a 3.5 inch downpipe on a turbo with a 3" outlet..?

Any reason the covers over the coils and timing belt are missing? That always sets massive alarm bells ringing for me when I'm looking at a used car - either carelessness or laziness is implied.

Not intending to be rude but I fully expect to see this car being parted out within 3 months

t56? not heard of that one.

Yours should have an M56LK with a 4:1 F.D.R. good box for top end fun

01V70T5 · Aug 16th, 2014, 18:44

Car is in excellent shape. Just cause the cover is gone doesn't mean its no good. Yes that's what I mean the m56 5speed. Hey guys im new so please don't start with all the bashing. Just want to join in with you and hopefully we can all help each other which is what a forum is about. Not to put people down. PEACE
