Installing A New Intake On Our Project Volvo V70R Was A Nightmare, But The Results Are Awesome

Today we install a Snabb high flow intake and 3.5" RS4 MAF censor on our project Volvo V70R. What a royal pain it was! But the end results are awesome.

My snabb intake is coming in today, STOP MAKING ME ANXIOUS ALREADY LMAO

[@ShiftingLanes]

Not even sorry 😂🤣

Cars that sound good going slow/normal driving are the best in my opinion!

[@8eightfab520]

Ah yea, those are fun. For anyone reading. Long 1/4” extension, swivel, and short 7 or 8mm socket (I forget which). Come from the bottom, have a friend up top to keep it on the hose clamp. I’ve done it by myself, it can definitely be a pain.

[@Volvo8Fifty4Life]

13:03, The high flow intake upgrade on the V70R has transformed Greg into Santa! Gosh I'm loving the sounds that your V70R is making. I'm going for a drive in my 850 T-5R right now! :)

[@turbovolvos40]

Again it's nice to see you guys doing your own work, like 95% of us Volvo guys.

[@D-man9000]

Make sure that the intake clamps aren't coming into contact with the ABS lines. Or just cut up some vacuum lines and slide them over the ABS lines. If they are contacting(or close), the clamps will wear through the ABS lines from the vibrations.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Good note! I’ll take a look in the bay this weekend to ensure no rub or rectify the rubbing.

[@D-man9000]

@@ShiftingLanes No problemo. I wound up with some flat spots on my lines, before realizing. I've got silicon vacuum tubing over the lines as a stopgap for now. I know someone on Swedespeed actually suffered a rupture on their brake lines.

[@CaptainSeamus]

I have to admit, my fmic and snabb intake did wonders for no heat soak! I built my own intake system pipes and used a "standard" intercooler. And that damn hose clamp on the turbo inlet... oh that summbich!!! I thought it was just mine rotated... sounds like a Volvo "feature"...

[@aaronp8902]

I’ll be there for intercooler install! 😏👌🏻

[@Wub-is8dp]

The hard to reach bolt near the firewall takes a flathead screwdiriver OR a 7mm socket will work also. Once you figure out that most of the hose clamps on this engine are 7mm it's a game changer

[@Korruptionen]

Make sure the cam sensor wires, specifically the back one on the exhaust cam. The bigger intake can rub that wiring, as I found on my project S60R that came with the SNABB intake.

I gotta remove my grandad's intake also to replace his pcv system because it's losing oil faster than a BP ocean rig.

[@ujrfkeids]

I love you guys i own a 04 m56 going with a 56-71 wheel

[@T5_T-Rell]

i've made custom intakes before and done various maintenance and messing around with my T5 where I had to remove the intake..easiest way for future reference is to remove the heat shield off the turbo and downpipe and then you can easily remove the intake hose clamp if you come at it from he right side of he car and bend over laying across your coolant resovoir.....I never reinstalled the heat shield back because it's unnecessary and just gets in the way but just make sure you install the clamp back with the nut facing up and somewhat forward that way its much easier to get off in the future also using a flat head is harder than if you were to use a small 8 or 7mm socket...can't remember which size off the top of my head...also may be a little harder since you have k24 but then again I have a bigger aftermarket wastegate so idk

[@omana2015]

Fun fact all clamps on Volvo are removable with 7mm sockets!!

[@jcarlson101]

There is a weather seal at the top of the engine bay sealing the hood that you can remove or replace in half a second. Without it you can more easily hear the intake, turbo spool, and blowoff/recirculating valve. Enjoy! Also, I have a 2005 S60R Sedan in the exact color combo which I purchased in 2007 from NJ because that was the only place I could find with that color combo at the time. Loving the upgrade progression, but currently having upgrade and V70R envy! I recommend keeping the current wheels as your "racing" wheels. Pegs are iconic, but heavy! 26-28lbs each!! I opted for OZ Racing Ultraleggera 18s which are 18lbs each. 40lbs of rotational weight gone!

[@johno9507]

The problem with removing the weather seal at the back of the hood is it allows engine bay air to be drawn into the cabin vents, this might not be a problem but if there is an exhaust leak you risk carbon monoxide (which you can't smell) poisoning. This is why light aircraft have carbon monoxide detection stickers in the cabin.

[@JG-wt5yh]

Another great video. Makes me want a Volvo super bad. In your opinion is it worth it to hold out and buy a manual, or if you could get a sweet deal on a modified (Hilton Stage 3) Auto would you go for that instead?

Hold out for the m66. So much more satisfying to row your own!

[@soliver206]

ShiftingLanes thanks for the input. I was all ready to pickup a car in Utah but it failed the PPI so the search continues.

[@dsrocks6905]

I know I'm 3 years late but for anyone reading this, usually it's smart to buy a mostly stock SR/VR. Check the PCV and look for vaccum leaks. If you can, bring VIDA and a DICE scanner with you, it'll allow you to see if there are any sneaky problems with the vehicle. Owning a P2R essentially requires a DICE unit and VIDA at some point, so look into getting them if you haven't already. VIDA is one of the only ways to diagnose issues involving SUM (4C) and DEM (Haldex AOC AWD Differential)

[@nicovanduin1553]

Please dyno it to see if it makes more power with the intake

[@ShiftingLanes]

It will, but I’m going to do more work to it before another dyno.

[@sleepercell938]

Did you get the car retuned after upgrading the MAF? If not your AFRs are likely jacked and your are putting your engine at risk.

Why didn't you use a 7 mm (or whatever size it is) socket for the hoseclamp?

Put a glove on the dip stick and rev the motor. If the washer on the dipstick is worn or it's the wrong stick you can be losing so much pressure through the dipstick tube that none will push through the head to the oil cap.

Glove test may be very different under boost... if you brake torque it, it will build some boost and it may inflate.

After seeing this I think the previous owner who installed it might not have tuned it correctly or at all after installation, which could be the reason why the engine starts are so irregular.. it seems to run fine after starting though.
