Did you mean to say “early” casting ???

While I can agree it’s one of the most underrated engines this car is powered by a oem unopened 4t3 just with a big turbo and supporting mods.

@@T5_T-Rell is that the same car as like 4 years ago or is it a new s60

@@queefyg490 I’ve owned 4 s60 T5s to date. This car is my infamous one I owned from 2019-2021. It was the only factory black on black car I ever owned and the first one I ever built with a custom front and rear bumper with a center exit exhaust and external wastegate. The ones prior had the side exits that kickstarted my entrance into the Volvo community and the one I own now is a exact replica of this black car but green and doesn’t feature a big custom turbo setup like that car did. I’ve never owned a 4t5 powered car. All of mine have had the 4t3 which is still a great engine and the better option for building just slightly weaker than a 4t5 in factory form. That black car was sold back in 2021.

@@T5_T-Rell oh ok so like the older s60 t5 with the 2.3 instead of the 2.4. I never really followed your KZbin but always knew about how good the s60 t5 motor was because of a video you made a while ago so I just assumed yours was a 05+

@@queefyg490 yep prefacelift 01-04 p2 T5s had a single vvt 2.3l. Pretty much all of the Volvo 5 cylinder engines made after 2001 can handle 400hp unopened. The 4t5 was just the golden child since it had internals that were as strong as what came in the R while also retaining a 81mm bore block like the original 2.3l T5 engine making it capable of 500hp or more. But all of the Volvo 5 cylinder engines are capable and can make power. The 4t5 is probably the rarest and super hard to get.

Black car had a Evo 10 duckbill that I chopped both sides on to fit the trunk since it was too long and then I molded it into the trunk

Thanks, I appreciate it

@@rmachuca1175 no problem

I was going to try to make the custom headlights, taillights and other parts to sell them but after making a couple all I got was crickets. I heard multiple people say they’d be interested in buying some of these custom parts that I made for my cars and when the time came for people to actually buy they ended up just sitting for months..and me charging around $450 for some custom lights isn’t even outrageous compared to what most people charge to do custom headlights or taillights. So I just kind of put it to rest

I’d be extremely interested for a set, I would even put a down payment on them to guarantee I’d pay. Let me know if you would be willing to make a set or have one for sale, I’m looking to finish my build by the end of May for a motorsports event.

Typically how it goes in America 😂🤷‍♂️ people doubt Volvo’s and downplay them and even after your prove the cars potential and abilities they’ll still try to discredit it by saying “it’s a Volvo”

@@T5_T-Rell I know 😮‍💨 this video makes me feel like it's my responsabiliy to represent since i have one

Anything is possible with enough time, money and knowledge but it honestly isn’t worth it…might as well just start with a s60r or s60 2.5t between wiring and having to change the rear suspension, subframe, transmission, and buy a bunch of awd parts you could’ve just started with a R or 2.5t and done a big turbo setup for the same price and honestly probably cheaper. Doing a custom big turbo setup like I did on this car is very expensive. Mostly the tuning aspect but thing have changed some since I built this car.

X pipe definitely made a difference in sound. It may be hard to do at first but if you listen closely and ignore the external wastegate sound and focus solely on the exhaust sound (the clip where I do the pull under the trees and the guy on the bike rides by is probably the best example to use for a proper sound clip) you’ll notice how raspy and somewhat higher pitched this car sounds in comparison to most Volvo 5 cylinders. I specifically mapped out and “designed” this exhaust setup to try to sound as much like a v10 without me having to spend $1,000+ on a tubular exhaust manifold which is the key ingredient needed to make these cars sound like v10 clones. I somewhat achieved that with this car but I also wanted all the various turbo noises I could get with this car including the sound of the external wastegate. I sold that car back in 2021 and I was well aware of the worn suspension parts. I have a 02 s60 T5 track build now with various different solid and poly mounts and semi slicks so spinning and torque flex is an issue that no longer plagues me.

@@T5_T-Rell Oh, okay. Bitchin. Got any clips of the new car?

@@Drunken_Hamster nope but I definitely plan to get a go pro and get some clips of me racing it this spring/summer. I’m thinking about selling it after this summer so I definitely want clips of it before it’s gone if I follow through with selling it especially since it may be my last p2 that I own.

That was a bmw e46 clip tuning ducktail spoiler. It fit basically perfect to the car unmodified.

You could easily swap your drivetrain into any other p80 or p2 volvo but in general. It would be a great swap for a Volvo c70, 850, or v70 but if want something non-Volvo a e36/46 bmw would be best since there’s adapter plates made to run the bmw transmissions with the Volvo 5 cylinder engines. Outside of that it would work in most RWD setups/applications since they usually house bigger engines

@@T5_T-Rell do you think it would fit in a wrx or something like that?

For the most part unless you’re like me and you make your cars super flashy. Most people either mistake my car for something else or assume I’m all show and no go.

@@T5_T-Rell i think sleeprs are better since the cops wont notice you has much

@@meatballs9127 over the last year I’ve grown and matured alot. I built my green T5 to be a circuit track car so it being flashy really wouldn’t matter as much but either way now I definitely prefer really clean oem+ or just clean subtle builds a lot more. I don’t think I could ever go the full sleeper route having a car that’s basically stock on the outside or even raggedy and it just being fast but that’s just me. Maybe I’m just getting old but I don’t even care about going fast as much as I did when I was younger. I just enjoy a clean car with a nice interior that does what it’s supposed to do.

Definitely and honestly imo the NA cars tend to sound better than most of the turbo ones, but I’ve seen that video awesome build. I have a picture of a guy who did a big turbo t5 swap on a e46 m3 but outside of that one picture I don’t think there’s any other pictures or other info on the car.

Turbo being a real sound ? lol I built this car and it was pretty well known in the Volvo community back in 2019-2021 when I owned it and it indeed did have a big turbo that I put on it as well as a slew of other aftermarket and custom parts. Nothing about the sound of this car has been edit or is fake.

Mine don’t fill up with oil. If you have a fresh pcv and made sure to clean all your engine ports when doing the pcv job and your engine is healthy you shouldn’t have oil in your catch can with a healthy engine. IF You are running it in line with the stock pcv system like I am and have shown in this video. At most you will have a slight mist of oil/oily bottom of the catch can but I’ve never accumulated actual oil in mine.

There are plenty of engines that can make the same power as this engine or even more and yes the engine you recommend is more readily available but I disagree on it being better. The 5 cylinder has a way better exhaust note and the 4t5 Volvo 5 cylinder has been shown to be able to handle more hp than 450 hp which is what distinguishes it and makes it better than alot of the other Volvo 5 cylinders which typically can’t handle over 400hp without getting aftermarket forged internals or even some sort of block reinforcement depending on the bore size.

Yep

Different than what comes in the t5. The 83mm bore 2.5l blocks are weaker than the 81mm bore 2.4 and 2.3l engines. The 2.5l Volvo 5 cylinder engines are known for cracking the block/cylinder liners more often when pushing for higher power. The 2.5t engine also comes from Factory with a smaller turbo and possibly even different internal parts like the rods.

Nah this isn’t the 2.5l engine…81mm bore block Volvo 2.3 and 2.4l Rn engines don’t have a tendency to crack blocks like the 83mm bore 2.4l and 2.5l engines engine do which is why this engine is superior to the s60r/v70r engine. It takes everything that makes that engine great but leaves out the weak thin cylinder wall block and replaces it with a 81mm bore block. People have pushed this engine in stock form to 500hp or more.

Thanks I appreciate it but I have definitely heard a couple better sounding 5 cylinder Volvos. Big turbo builds like this just isn’t common.

Funny you say that considering I owned a 04 2.3l s60 T5 with a big turbo setup and the m56 transmission that’s been documented on this channel with multiple videos…the 2.3l has weaker rods than the 2.4l t5 engine and the head doesn’t flow as well. The 05-09 b5244t5 engine is the most capable factory Volvo Rn engine you can get for power: 81 mm bore like the 2.3l so you have a strong block that’s not prone to cracking, same better flowing head as the R engine, same crank and rods as an R engine giving it more stroke and making it a 2.4l, and in factory configuration it came with the k24 turbo..I have yet to see a 2.3l be pushed upwards of 500hp or more without rods being installed at the least this is a feat that the 2.4l has accomplished multiple times.

@@T5_T-Rell I owned the 04 S60R with the 6spd manual awd. Wish it was the V70R, but thats besides the point. Beautiful car, none the less. Absolute sleeper. 💓

Just painted on

No this engine is US spec it’s just not as common as the other Volvo 5 cylinders. The 2.3l t5 engine was the one that was really mass produced since it was used in many different volvos. The 2.4l b5244t5 engine was used only in the s60 t5 and v70 T5 from the years 2005-2009. The v70 T5 is rare in general and usually if one of these engines go for sale an enthusiast grabs it up quick or a shop since the demand is usually higher than the supply so you’d be better off finding/buying a 05-09 s60 T5 with a auto trans and pulling the engine.

@@T5_T-Rell Seems to be my best chance. Wish I could find more than 2.5 cars for sale though. Oh well, I'll find one hopefully.

@@megatronn194 in my personal opinion prefacelift s60 T5s are rare but not nearly as rare as the 05+ cars. If you can get you hands on any 2.3l t5 Volvo it would be easier and cheaper than the 2.4l T5 and the 2.3l with forged rods and pistons has been shown to handle crazy amount of power. Some guys in Sweden have pushed the 2.3l t5 engine upwards of 800+whp on a stock block with upgraded internals and head work. The 2.3l and 2.4l t5 engines have the strongest block since they’re 81mm bore blocks. If you plan to build the engine anyway with rods and pistons it would probably be cheaper to build the 2.3 than the 2.4l. The 2.3l just can’t handle as much power without being built as a 2.4 can.
