The Two.4's Become One - 850 + V70 Merge Begins - The 850 Project - Episode 3

[@akersjon278]

Hands up all VOLVO guys that wish they could go next door to their garage with a parts list and a cart, and just fill it...

[@fcpeuro]

😂😂 We a re spoiled

[@miguelg243]

Absolutely!!

[@TheMizone2]

Imagine

[@christophermcelligott1593]

This is great! I had no idea FCP was doing this. Right now, I'm swapping an S60R engine and an M56 into an 850 Turbo sedan, so this is a lot of fun to watch.

[@Jaeintebitter]

Hell yeah! I'm really looking forward to this series. I love how the old btcc 850 sounds with its screaming NA engine. I once owned a black 1997, 850R Estate (without sunroof). Which unfortunately someone stole and crashed. Now I'm really inspired to buy an 850 again and build something similar to you guys.

[@terrymarsh8094]

Thanks for sharing I learned something today about the subframe I will be getting one on my car, see you guys next Friday!

[@fcpeuro]

See you next week Terry :-)

[@bgee461]

Your videos in general are fantastic. To keep bolts organized I've done the ziploc bag thing when heads or the block has to go to the machine shop, but generally I put the bolt back in whatever hole it came out of

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks B Gee, putting things back where they came out is also a great way to stay organized!

[@thevolvobrickchallenge5650]

I have been waiting for my FCP Christmas present all morning! Can't wait

[@fcpeuro]

Hope we Delivered !

[@johanmattsson6572]

Awesome build!🤩 my “first” car was a Volvo 855 t5r sadly they are not worth so much in Sweden and it needed allot of work so I sold it but I recommend individual throttle bodies on the 850. It will sound awesome:) and pack allot of power to! Keep up the good work guys

[@bernardaflores1720]

I like your shopping experience put on the list, go to the back and start picking new parts. Very nice, great info regarding the sub-frame

[@fcpeuro]

Happy to share the info Bernada!

[@850are2]

Man just going next door and picking those parts.. lucky

[@fcpeuro]

Very luckky, no doubt about that!

[@christopherclaure6689]

for real, it seems unreal lol

[@andrewgarrity2563]

Should always check the gap on new spark plugs.

[@aaronjohnmaughan]

Finding that subframe is going to make this car feel sharp and responsive. Proper hot rodding going on here.

[@fcpeuro]

Total Diamond in the rough there, we were stoked to find one for the project!

[@deadpixelmedia3171]

Id love to see you guys do a series like this on the C30 AWD swap. or even just a single video on a M66 Quaife LSD install. there aren't any ind depth good how too or info videos on either, just broken up forum posts.

[@hiro0500]

oh i love this project because i have a volvo too, i wish i have this kind of talent to work on cars.

[@fcpeuro]

With enough time, patience, and research anything is doable hiro0500!

[@draftnotion]

Looking good. The intake manifold is different that's for sure

[@warummussmeinnameangegeben6502]

Ah damn. Now I have to go looking for a C70 subframe

[@fcpeuro]

If you can find one, its very worth it!

[@JoseDelgado-ho1cf]

Also cool to see the warehouse and how my parts get selected.

[@UncleJuulian]

BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER. KEEP EM COMIN

[@fcpeuro]

Happy Holidays Uncle Julian!

[@JoseDelgado-ho1cf]

4:45 I'm glad I'm not the only one that keeps a million google docs trackers and FCP Euro tabs open

[@fcpeuro]

😂😂😂 That means you're doing it right!

[@favavverks9085]

loving this build!!

[@fcpeuro]

we're glad you like it! it's been fun

[@ryanfake5229]

I'm really loving this series build, I need more

[@piotrhazymut1953]

That intro make me smile 😆😂👌and laugh 😆

[@marsenmoos1]

Nice clean shop👍

[@KYRGarage]

ive been waiting this whole day and kept checking hoping it would drop today. I gotta wait :(

[@fcpeuro]

We thought about it Guntaas, but even with the holiday decided to keep it consistent and release it tomorrow! Hopefully its worth the wait :-)

[@arthurchamberland1865]

Where was that junkyard in RI? have a 98 V70 T5M I'm working on and that hood looked like a perfect match!!

[@fcpeuro]

Hey, Arthur! It was the Pick-n-Pull in Johnston, RI. Was a few months ago, so I would call and ask if they still have it before you go!

[@7spower998]

6:35 LOL, my guess is that Gates Racing timing belt is made in the USA, but I thought you said Volvo parts should be made in Sweden?

[@fcpeuro]

THEY SHOULD BE! But sometimes can't be :)

[@pclayton5063]

I've got an 07 S80 V8 and also a 10 V70 R-Design. Do you think the V8 engine and subframe would be a straightforward swap into the V70? Would be a killer combination.

[@vikboss177]

Nice job guys!

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks vik Boss! Appreciate you watching

[@makz7]

You guys ever swapped P1 XC axles onto a regular V70? Just asking if it's doable.

[@ZedrateEX]

How are you going to get around the vvt on the inlet cam in the 850

[@thecosmiccastaway8960]

Must be nice to order and then pull your own parts lol

[@jeremiahjohnson3018]

I have installed an RN in my S70, but unsure if it had VVIS.

[@mohis5664]

Ayy congrats for 100k subs

[@fcpeuro]

Thanks Mohis, couldnt have done it without everyones support watching the channel!

[@Herrgarret86]

I'm sorry but my experience tells me that you are going to have problems with coilpacks and missfire if you dont use oem spark plugs. I know it sounds silly but here in sweden we use oem spark plugs up to 700 hp in the white block as we call it. When a customer came in to the volvo dealership i worked on with a missfire we allways tried a plugchange first and it fixed the problem 99% of the time. Often it was bosch, ngk, mahri and all the big brands sparkplugs but it doesn't matter.

[@astroboyracer247]

You are absolutely correct. Fun fact - those BERU spark plugs are the exact same as Genuine Volvo, in fact, BERU supplies the spark plugs to Volvo ;)

[@ZedrateEX]

Also are you converting the 850 to run coil on plug

[@yilmaztosun4858]

U forgot the more important camshaft seals! Everyone forgets them witch causes unnecessary extra costs later on.

[@fcpeuro]

You are correct, cam seals are very important and should not be overlooked! Thankfully, the cylinder head on this engine was compltetly rebuilt and those had been done and showed no sign of leaking.

[@GTiGuy316]

Look at all the tabs open. no wonder you guys keep the IT department so busy.

[@fcpeuro]

😂😂😂😂

[@jimbozza1]

I hope you’re going to wash and paint that subframe before putting it in the car... I have an NA 98 V70 that when I watch this video, my mind is tricking me into thinking this is my car being hot rodded !

[@westnylefx]

Can i get some more info on that awesome red c70 coupe??? :)

[@fcpeuro]

Our employee who owned it recently sadly sold it. It was a creampuff!

[@westnylefx]

@@fcpeuro I just sold my 00 c70 afew weeks ago, so anytime i see them i smile :) I have been using you guys for my p80 parts for well over a decade :)

[@samuelnagel4827]

doesn`t the v70nR has turbo?

[@IntegraDIY]

Should’ve just ditched the dual stage intake manifold. Unless it’s going to be driven on the street often, it’s going to be pointless on the track since it’ll be WOT most of the time

[@fcpeuro]

You're absolutely right. Watch the rest of the season and you'll find out we do end up ditching it 😉. Our dyno video compares the dual-stage manifold to the standard manifold. It was more of an experiment than anything since we had the manifold. ITBs are in the future though!

[@0tink9]

what junk yard did you go to?

[@fcpeuro]

we headed over to the Pick n Pull in Johnston RI!

[@0tink9]

@@fcpeuro dope thanks!

[@miguelg243]

Man I need to stop being lazy and fix my 03 V70 😩

[@fcpeuro]

Come onnn Miguel, get out there and start wrenching!

[@imamogluu]

ITBs would be mega

[@fcpeuro]

They will be very very MEGA!

[@imamogluu]

Dislikes-->T5 bois

[@farerse]

the two 4s ? those engines are 5 cylinders

[@fcpeuro]

Just a play on words Lambor_ghini TWO 2.4L Engines :-) Indeed they are 5 cyl

[@farerse]

@@fcpeuro ah I didn't realize they are 2.4L .. thanks for clearing that up!

[@tonyeff4447]

1 min in and there's been about a 100 screen flicks. Not nice editing at all 😵

[@londonbroilburnout9946]

wanna show how to swap the subframe bushings anyways with ye ole ghetto style?.... for.... educational purposes? lol
