Elevate Volvo Installation Video: Inlet Manifold, Turbo Intake Pipe, Air Intake

This video shows steps to installing the Elevate Performance Inlet Manifold, Elevate Turbo Intake Pipe, and Elevate Air Intake on a Volvo C30 T5 (same as Volvo S40 T5, Volvo V50 T5, Volvo C70). Product information available at: www.elevatecars.com

[@eplyoung]

Please keep your informative (interesting and entertaining) videos coming :)

[@strider5119]

These products all look so good.

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@independentgamer5000]

Didn't realize how difficult this looked 😅

[@marktaylor3630]

How much of a difference did the upper and lower intake make been thinking about getting them but haven't really been able to find much info on them

[@danielboudreau5918]

Question - I just ordered and received the intake pipe and air intake for my 2012 s60 t5. Is the installation essentially the same as this video? I know the stock snorkel is routed to the left side of the car in my own, but other than that everything looks similar, or the same.

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Yes, VERY similar. This video is a good resource for you.

[@danielboudreau5918]

ELEVATE Volvo Performance update - so I did have to drill a hole to relocate the ecu. I got the intake installed, but have given up for the day on the intake pipe. Reaching the bottom of the rubber hose connecting to the turbo has been a bitch and a half so to speak. The intake sounds really good though.

[@Chefinator72]

Would it do anything noticble for my '09 s40?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Absolutely! Learn more at: www.elevatecars.com

[@alexsa122]

Hi! There are the same system for Volvo P1 with D5 motors?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Unfortunately, we don't get diesel Volvos in the US, we we have not been able to create a kit.

[@strider5119]

What size is the turbo pipe? the weird L one that's straight off the turbo, before it becomes plastic.

[@donnicholson3749]

Our Turbo Intake Pipe is 3" all the way down to the turbo.

[@MrLaBruh]

I'm curious, I just bought a Volvo C30 2.4i. Will this Inlet Manifold and the Performance 6-Piston Complete Brake System fit my model? Thank you and I appreciate the help!

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Engine components are different between the T5 and 2.4i, so no these will not fit. Suspension and brake components WILL fit. www.elevatecars.com

[@AnthonyCalabro]

Would volvo maintenance centers be able to do this install?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Yes, as all of the parts are direct replacement.

[@vinceculum9873]

I was curious on mine there's a hose that connects to The turbo pipe that has a blue clip connector can't seem to remove how did you remove the air hose to turbo pipe

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Depress that tab, pull the fitting out.

[@maoinc13]

Is that engine same as the 2012 Volvo c70 t5 convertible ?? Can it be use on this car too ? .... 2nd question where is this company located at? Thabk you

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Yes, same T5 engine is used in all the Volvo P1 cars (C30, C70N, S40, V50). We are located near Los Angeles, CA. If you have more questions, please email: [e-mail]

[@oweny6609]

Is it a bad idea to put the filter behind the radiator fan?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

The cooler the air that reaches the combustion chamber, the better as cooler air is richer in oxygen to assist in the burn of the power stroke. Reality is, on a turbocharged vehicle, the importance of "cold" air is far less of a factor than on a normally aspirated vehicle. On a turbocharged vehicle, the incoming air is pressurized by the turbo, where it heats up significantly, then passes through an intercooler to be cooled back down before it passes the throttle body and enters the engine. On a normally aspirated vehicle, the air goes straight into the engine without being heated by the turbocharger. Our air filter is located low and in front of the engine behind the radiator, where a constant flow of air is fed as the car is at speed and even at a stop when the fan turns on. While the water temperature may be 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) inside the radiator, a radiator is not so efficient that it expels all of its heat to the ambient air passing through it. When at speeds over 15mph (24kph), there is sufficient ram air passing through the radiator that the actual air temperature increase by the heat being expelled by the air conditioning condenser and radiator is negligible.

I have the 2011 Volvo C30 T5 Rdesign Automatic

[@csomreggie]

Do you guys have a dual port bypass c30 install video? Please let me know

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Sorry, no...

[@csomreggie]

@@ELEVATEVOLVO do you guys offer any instructions on installing it or anything like that.

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Printed instructions are included with purchase.

[@mattk3445]

I missed why you installed a new ECM or was that just the original one you had removed in the process?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

The ECM/ECU gets relocated from the air box to the bracket we provide with the Air Intake.

[@dickwolf3643]

How many more ponies am I looking at before I install this in my car also u forgot to tighten the bolt in the back

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Power gains associated with these three components is dependent on other factors on your vehicle (Performance Software, Downpipe, Exhaust, etc.) as they are all related to air flow and air demand. Most customers see anywhere from +15hp to +35hp depending on other equipment.

[@ThunderBuDz]

is it ca carb compliant?

[@ThunderBuDz]

?

[@devingaluska7196]

Will this work with a Volvo s60 t5 2013 ?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Yes these parts will fit your S60 T5. Visit: www.elevatecars.com

[@gamechangerz1329]

any video for non turbo models??

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Sorry, no intake for the non-turbo models.

[@kawoutster]

How much does the complete set cost?

[@santiagoventura2012]

A LITTLE UNDER 1000 USD

[@tkohout87]

I just need this =(

[@mateosiewierski9065]

Is this a kit?? If it is can you pls give me a link to it? And can it be done on my 2006 s40 2.4i

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

These components are only for the T5 engine. To see what is available for your S40 2.4i, visit: www.elevatecars.com/store/volvo-s40.html

[@mateosiewierski9065]

ELEVATE Volvo Performance thank you, and I see there’s a cold air intake kit, can that alone be put on my s40 2.4i??

[@BackupAccount-sf8vm]

Would I have to release the pressure from fuel lines?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

No, not for these three products (Inlet Manifold, Air Intake, Turbo Intake Pipe). If you swap to our Port Polished Lower Inlet Manifold, then you will need to remove the fuel injectors.

[@proton600]

Is it necessary to disconnect the battery to do this?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

No, it is not required. However, disconnecting the battery would reset the computer and allow it to learn the new hardware components faster.

[@proton600]

@@ELEVATEVOLVO Okay, thanks for the info. I don't know my radio code so i'll probably keep it connected 👌🏻

[@theramadhan6701]

can it be use on 2001 volvo S40 ?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Sorry, no. These items fit only the P1 Volvo T5 from 2004.5 to 2014.

[@theramadhan6701]

ELEVATE Volvo Performance can you suggest me which turbo kit i can use for volvo s40 2001 ?

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Sorry, but we do not have any parts for the first generation S40.

Love you

[@enzo81ile81]

Hello friend, I always follow you, and thanks to your videos I've learned so many things, but now I have a problem with my c30 t5 with kit k16 stage 4, the machine pushes hard and has a perfect mapping but every time I change gear Machine does not accelerate anymore! I stall, I have no mistakes and I do not have any power cut, then I take gas for 1 second, I push the gas still and the car returns to push hard, I work with these pressures: 1.4 boost, constant 1.1 bar, you have idea What can it be? I've mounted a solenoid Mac, bypass blowoff alluminium!

[@TheBdt100]

Does this not pick up a lot of heat from the radiator

[@donnicholson3749]

+byron d Taylor : Are you referring to the Air Intake? If so, the short answer is "no". Consider that once the car is underway, the air temperature in front of and behind the radiator changes very little as radiators are far from 100% efficient at heat transfer.

[@TheBdt100]

+Don Nicholson Yes what about at stand still i know when you moving the air temp drops just asking as it seems to be directly behind the fan and that area in my car gets very hot

[@TheBdt100]

+Don Nicholson Thanks for the reply

[@donnicholson3749]

+byron d Taylor At a stand still for several minutes, yes the engine bay can collect heat. Once underway, the heat is exhaust out quite rapidly.

[@TheBdt100]

cool looks good

[@thdmtr]

so, ELEVATE, what happens to the ECM heat dissipation which was done efficiently before using the turbo air intake route inside original air box? Nothing is better than the original project: 1 - The original intake manifold with finned style helps dissipate heat while ELEVATE intake manifold rounded-flat design helps keep the intake temps higher, working pretty much like a hemi combustion chamber and 2 - The ECM stops getting forced-air cooling and starts to deteriorate faster than it should by suffering severe direct heat radiation from engine bay. Am I wrong? If yes, then explain why volvo engineers made the project that way.

[@donnicholson3749]

1. Inlet Manifold design: The plastic, factory design "fins" are for structure, not cooling. Do an internet search and you'll find many of these plastic manifolds have burst. You cannot judge the inside flow characteristics of our manifold design based on the shape of the outside. "Hemi combustion chamber"?! You are not considering the speed of the boosted air as it flows through the inlet manifold. 2. ECM cooling: Take a look at the factory location of the ECM on the Mk2 Ford Focus RS (higher output version of the same engine). The ECM is located in an ENCLOSED plastic box behind the radiator with ZERO air circulation. Our design features air circulation for the ECM.

[@thdmtr]

i agree with most of you said but i wont accept the ECM solution, what you stated doesnt mean the focus has better engineering involved, it in fact indeed is worse than a volvo judging by that fact you mentioned alone.

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Thank you for sharing your opinions. If you have solid facts to support your opinions, please share.

[@thdmtr]

so basically, volvo's effort to use forced cooling on ECM means nothing? the finned style of the back of ECM also means nothing? nothing in car industry is made with no reason, because it costs money and costs means lower profits. "oh, today is sunny, time to mount a beautiful velocity stack right in the front of the ECM on our volvos"

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

Are you having a bad day? It seems like you are simply trying to pick a fight over a product you do not have first hand knowledge of.

[@TheBobes]

Interesting how it's Americans making the performance parts for Volvos. Can't find a single air intake around here in Europe... :/

[@ELEVATEVOLVO]

would it be possible to fit it ti a 2.5T instead?

[@judechopper]

that engine is a t5, 2.5liter
