How Much Power Did Elevate's 3" Downpipe & Tune Add To Our Volvo C30 (Results May Surprise You)

Our Volvo C30 Civic Type R slayer makes her second trip to the dyno. This trip serves two purposes. #1: We find out how much power our Elevate 3" Turbo-back exhaust and Elevate Tune make. #2: We dive a little deeper into why I lost to Gregson in the 1/8 mile.

Yass another C30 videoo

[@latexluke1]

Suffering from hot intake air temps, and restrictive stock intercooler. Swapping out the intercooler for an AIRTEC and change the restrictive airbox/ecu mount and you will see huge gains without touching the turbo. Also another point to check is the recirc valve on the turbo, the rubber diaphragm can split meaning you don't hold higher boost. Recoment changing for a piston type recirc valve, either forge or mountune one.

[@OGShingles]

It has been proven that Volvo's stock airbox with ECU in it is the best system for them as far as efficiency goes, because it takes fresh air from in front of the radiator instead of the aftermarket ones that sit behind the radiator and fan.

[@03basesedan]

@@OGShingles maybe, but he has a point about the intercooler. An intercooler is the first mod I do on any turbo car I purchase, tune or no tune.

[@nathanielliddy638]

@@OGShingles the airbox in my c30 is horrible. Sure, it gets cold air from the inlet scoop. But right after the filter, the box goes down to around 1/2 inch (or maybe even less) of space. Completely blocks the air flow, having cooler air is wonderful but not when only 1/6 of it gets through to the turbo

The C30 S40/V50 T5 volvo's came with the smallest turbos out of all the T5 models. For the easiest gains in terms of power you could of gone with a 2006 S60 T5. Its a 2.4 block with the 2.3 cylinder wall thickness with just a longer rod and it has the same K24 turbo as the S60R. U can push 400 Crank on the block all day no probs.

I know this is old but your comment about needing to shift earlier reminded me of how in my t6 wagon, the car feels much quicker if I let the transmission choose when to shift in S mode vs if I choose when to shift and rev it out longer. “Manual” is much more fun though so I should probably just learn how to shift with the torque curve.

[@jordandennis2702]

Awesome stuff! So glad to see the c30 doing well and am so excited to see what it can do! When you guys do the LSD episode can you be as descriptive as possible?

As a fellow FWD guy I’d love to see specifics of how it is installed and works on FWD cars.

[@davebarrett6894]

You need to understand how a normal differential works first but to make it short , imagine a solid shaft between the two front wheels so they rotate as one , if there is any slip both will be slipping .. there is some give , but that's the general idea . reduces the wheel slip due to power.

[@lastexile1187]

Good video this time round. Anyone that owns one of these or the euro mk2 st and has remapped it would find out very fast that the turbo is a limiting factor for solid power gains. The k04 they come with is just too small to really get beyond 300-320hp fly hp, when the engine can handle 380 fly hp with standard internals. A bigger turbo would help a lot and reduce the spikiness which influences wheelspin. A bigger turbo on this car would help make up for the lack of mechanical grip of this chassis versus a fk8 ctr too, i reckon at least 350hp should be your goal

[@filippofiorito2494]

Good review 😉 the M66W of C30 is very longest gearbox, the Focus ST 225 mount a M66 much shorter than the C30. I want install this.

[@Stale_Mahoney]

yeah the C30 is well in the midrange but the turbo is tiny compared to what you want, not necessarily to much bigger on the intake side but it needs a bigger exhaust housing as it's restricting the most there, same with the S60/V70 R if you get a bigger exhaust housing on the turbo you make allot more power even on the same boost limits, as it will not be like pushing the exhaust thru a bottleneck.

[@makkeon6475]

i own a st225 (same engine) and when you tune it you need to change the RECIRC VALVE because the stock valve will start to leak whit high boost

You should get air fuel ratios tested on the dyno. It’s great information to have when you’re at WOT. If you don’t have the right ratio throughout the run, you’re not going to get the most out of the engine.

[@crashpadypl9416]

Greetings from Poland.

[@gone84328]

My man, what are those wheels called? I've been looking for that exact same design for my C30. I love the way yours look!

[@glockmanish]

The K04 charger (when in good nick) are capable of 300hp crank. I had that stage on my S40 T5 AWD manual. It felt punchy but lacked overtaking power on the Autobahn. Your setup should do around 265hp at the crank ... so aroung 235-240hp at the wheels! Installing a boostgauge and doing some basic OBD logging of acceleration runs would help finding the issue here. The OBD adaptors are so cheap now (under 10$) ... there is no reason not to. There are two possible issues which come to my mind: - Take a look whether the preload on the wastegate actuator is correct. It is set with a thumb-skrew and locked with a counter nut (10mm ... if I remember correctly). You only have to remove the intake pipe over the engine and maybe the heat shield over the turbo. - Take a look at the membrane in your boost recirculation valve or divert-air valve. Best would be to get an uprated one. My recommendation is the GFB T9354. With this you can set the preload right to the point where you start to get turbo chatter on lift-off. And the best thing: This valve fits into the K16 housing. So you can migrate it when upgrading. A friend of mine lost 3psi of boost at the top end because of a ripped membrane. This is hell of a lot of boost when you consider that the K04 can only achieve 16-17psi at the top end.

[@aknovaman]

Plz post your WOT dyno AFR plot. Id be interested in the timing at full throttle. Your afr can be pretty rich and timing low resulting in lower power. Also interesting that tq and hp dont converge at 5252 rpm.

[@EB240]

a better turbo and intake will give you some better gains up top. will be interesting to see the differance

[@centsam5947]

Before going big turbo you NEED to modify the block, or your engine will fail, the part only costs about $20 but it will save the engine upto a point, does require removing the head tho (google volvo 2.5t block mod)

[@joshsulham8084]

Yes the part is cheap but install is expensive because it is something that is highly recommend you take to a machine shop

[@nivesh5550]

Well, it depends on the turbo, if you get a K16 Turbo kit with software from elevate its designed to not stress the stock block provided your cooling system is functioning correctly. Plenty people run it like that for street use, with no issues even on the automatics. I know people who have done it, and you can ask Don from Elevate if you dont believe me.

[@centsam5947]

@@nivesh5550 in the uk we have the 2.5t in our ford focus and its accepted here that once you go above 320hp ish you need the block mod, also not sure how you guys get such little power from these engines, maybe because you only have 93 octane, while in the uk we get 99 and the cheap shit is 95

[@centsam5947]

we get 340 hp out of the stock turbo all day long

[@nivesh5550]

@@centsam5947 The Fords use different engine management software on the ECU and it can be pushed harder but at the expense of more easily cracking the cylinder sleeves. On actual volvos the system is stricter and safer but you get less power from the tunes. Thats why the tunes between Ford 2.5s and Volvo 2.5s are not compatible despite being on the same engines. Ive yet to see cracked sleeves on a tuned Volvo 2.5 T5 but ive seen plenty on the Focus ST on the stock turbo, though the Focus will usually making a few kw more. There are a few other differences such as facelift Volvo t5s using b4525T7 engines that have various small manufacturing improvements whereas Focus ST facelift use b4525T3 with a more aggressive exhaust camshaft. From my experience its best not to use the ST as a example for tuning a Volvo T5, theres just too many small differences. If you stick to Volvo specific tuners and parts your engine is pretty safe going over 320hp.

[@prashanthkrishanduth8521]

Please go custom turbo, we know you like the bolt-ons and Elevate tune but it would be really interesting to collaborate with Elevate on an alternative turbo kit and tune. The K16 is a one piece manifold/housing, pita to lug around. You could get the BW S200SX-E (S252) with ~0.90-0.95A/R, full spool 2800-3000rpm on 17lbs, 350whp on the stock intercooler, probably 370+ with the Elevate intercooler. If you want to go ball bearing and watercooled, then a GT3071R with 0.63A/R, but its $500 more, similar spool and power. I can't wait to see the Quaife LSD install, I really want to see an in depth video.

[@phish9111]

dragon prep! how's that LSD? How was the difference from stock? solve your torque steer?

[@ImJustMe555]

I would say go for the 4T4 turbo from IPD, but if you don't want to go that route you could get the K24 that's on the S60R and V70R or get a upgraded K24. All of those should give you good HP and TQ numbers with minimum modifications to your exhaust and intake setup.

Elevate catback exhaust and a custom tune : 243 HP/ 383 NM. But the intercooler was Stock, and it was clear that it was holding back the car and the potentiel power.

Just wondering if the car came in awd because the back wheels spin on the dino too?

[@dudeshark2471]

Yeah, horsepower is a function of torque. It's when it's multiplied by RPM. So since you aren't really revving different or anything like that you won't see huge peak gains but because your torque curve is much larger your horsepower curve will start and stay a lot higher as well but it won't necessarily make tons more horsepower since peak horsepower is usually later than peak torque.

[@freedom-volvo-usa]

If you're upgrading the turbo go for the S200SX-E (S252) 12709095019, with a 0.90-1.00A/R turbine housing. Full spool around 3k, should make 320whp, 320wtq easy on 14lbs/(1 Bar) boost, and rev to 6500rpm without choking. Plus there's plenty of headroom for way more power, and its super efficient.

I love you guys and I watch your videos. Keep up the good work! ...however, I’ve got to say... 1. You guys really suck at racing😁 Keep practicing 👌🏁 2. Since your hp is flat from like 5k rpm you should stay in gear to the 1 rpm before the limiter. Had it gone down after 5k rpm, yeah then you should shift. You want to stay in the hp, not the torque. A shorter ratio (lower gear) accelerates better. It’s that simple. Looking forward to a new turbo for you to deliver the boost the ECU is probably requesting.

[@willriley1619]

Tail of the dragon is over rated, I use to live there. Go to Blood Mt on the far side of Blairsville Ga. it's way more fun. Or the road to Hellen Ga. it is REALLY REALLY fun, and both are't that far from the Dragon. Both have amazing curves , and less people.

Mmmm

Probably get those results from the factory exhaust for those that don't want to change it.

[@jeffpittman8725]

Definitely more realistic to mod one with an automatic!

Guys, you need to re-do the battle with proper measurement hw... Spray two lines on the road, and just use a stopwatch, if you can't get proper device :) throw these results to trash, and dont focus on them... Both 0-60 and 1/8 mile times... It was an app that used GPS on a phone. It will never be as precise as dedicated device 😉 Just look at your versus video, how the speed data lagged... I bet that was the cause of piór 0-60 Times of v70rs

Does it have the B5234t3? Edit: NOPE

[@chewmeful]

Dude needs atleast a 19t but tbh I’d go with a k24/k26 hybrid turbo they are good for up to 420whp but make sure your boost is turned right down until after 3000rpm otherwise the rods will be on the outside of the engine 👍

[@glockmanish]

K24 are a pain to fit compared to a modified K16. Friend of mine drives a V50 T5 AWD with a TTE490 (waaay larger exhaust and intake wheel fitted) and makes 500hp at the crank at 30 psi of boost. And the best thing: apart from 2 K16-specific oil lines , a strange check valve on the compressor housing (all three best bought from Ford of Europe, because Focus RS mk2) and a silicone coupler for the turbo intake everythign else is plug-and-play ... even the exhaust. The 19t is a toy of a turbo-charger. And the K24 are cracking their exhaust housings like nothing and all the time when you put power into them. K16 FTW ...

@@glockmanish could I possibly get more info from you, or put me in touch with your friend regarding the TTE490. This is the next step for my c30.

[@glockmanish]

​@@rehma6b0 TTE is a Germany based company "The Turbo Engineers" (www.theturboengineers.com/). I don't know how conveniant it is to send a turbo around the world. As I understand they only take work through resellers. I have no recommendation on that front, as we got the TTE chargers through connections. The modification allone cost around 1800$. Together with a new K16 it comes to aroung 4100$. The TTE490 is listed for the Ford Focus RS mk2 but we fitted them to 3 Volvos already ... one V50 and 2 C30s.

This isn't the best place to ask I know but are you ok?
