WE FINALLY FIXED THE C30 (BECAUSE I AM AN IDIOT)

[@patrickmadden6340]

I run 19 psi of boost on a 02 lpt white block...running the stock tcv. You don’t need aftermarket and that actuator controls the onset of boost, mine is almost maxed out currently and it’s definitely noticeable lol

[@RichieRouge206]

Definitely add a torque mount. So glad she’s back and fighting

[@StitchC30]

Would love to see a list of the best mods for the c30. Been looking to do some things to mine but I’m not quite sure where to start. Really enjoy these kind of videos! Merryc Christmas 🎄

[@ShiftingLanes]

3" down pipe and exhaust. Larger Upper intake pipe. Front mount intercooler with larger intercooler hard pipe. Tune Wheels & tires.

[@StitchC30]

ShiftingLanes greatly appreciate it! Would definitely do these to my project c30 soon

[@iggy151]

I just went through some boost drama with my 96 R wagon i totally feel your pain man

[@GCast-iv1pd]

LOL! That should've been the first thing you should've checked!

[@lesserlogic9977]

Yay, you get to enjoy it fully for the holiday season!

[@andersengelin2958]

Happy Christmas from Sweden!!

[@RayMainBagpiper]

LOL... I've got an 09 C30 with the geartronic automatic. I'm assuming the car is bone stock, but there's been a couple of times when I get on it the car pulls to the right even on the freeway !! I just had the alignment done by Volvo so I know every thing is good. Kindof a bummer the Polestar tune isn't available anymore. Plugs and coils are first on my list.

[@scotttras15]

Gregson's cameo was perfect. Chad.... where's the dunce cap? DNYO THAT BEAST NOW!!!!

[@ShiftingLanes]

She will be on the dyno early in the new year.

[@jessewildman1292]

Lol, the 17 looks like pi. I saw it and was like, 3.14 lbs of boost? 😂

[@linkthegunner]

I wish elevates customer service wasn't ass, any time I try to contact them they never respond to my emails, and if they do it's almost a month later

[@Bebito2890]

It's time for that torque mount.

[@KMXProductionz]

Preferably IPD's mount. Elevate's rubber puck wears out.

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Edwin Vargas OMG! I got one and within a week it blew again! Please get the IPd polyurethane model!

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Edwin Vargas oh and the engine torque mount (if ya got one like other volvos) stay stock! The vibration will drive u nuts!

[@russelllevin1161]

I recomend the cobb focus mount fits perfect and great quality

[@caletzm]

Have you changed out your bushing? Do you prefer polyurethane or rubber and why?

[@rccorcoles7082]

Great diy to build my s40 ..thanks for all the info

[@klr142]

What's the latest and greatest on this car? It looks like the last dyno pull was after the intercooler was installed, but nothing since doing the intake manifolds, correct?

[@adamjames90]

What kind of wheels are your car? They’re nice!!!

[@Mazdaspeed_lifestyle]

So what has the c30 ended up making in the finale run ?

[@s70driver2005]

Rich is the man!!!

[@ProverbofLando]

Time for dyno? What’s it making at the wheels now?

[@ShiftingLanes]

Dyno very soon. I want to data log a few things first.

[@ProverbofLando]

ShiftingLanes congrats on the fix! I have a few similar mods. I got the Elevate TCV and a number of their other engine and exhaust parts and custom elevate tune. I use a pumaspeed inlet however. Good luck against the type R! Can’t wait to see that video:)

[@ShiftingLanes]

Me too. Stupid winter weather delaying things.

[@kylem2010GT]

I think this video is missing from your "Project Volvo C30 Type R Killer" playlist.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Good shout! Thanks! We'll add it there.

[@smiffythecat3751]

Appreciate the honesty. Was a little concerned.

[@clanrobertson7200]

You will only be a moron if you don’t learn the primary lesson that mechanics is trying to teach you. That is that mechanics is pure logic: If P>Q - If Not P

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thanks

[@matbowden9156]

Happy Christmas Chad 😎

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thanks. Same to you and yours.

[@donterpstra4579]

A big brake kit was mentioned but I never saw an install video. Did I miss it?

[@ShiftingLanes]

Sadly you did not.

[@pillarsofnosgoth]

🤦‍♂️🤣 Glad it was still a free fix!

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Wait Dude why didn’t you get the Porsche TCV? Change wastegate spring back to stock. Start from there.

[@christopherjefferson3561]

Yeah and they lines MAY be marked BUT not all TCV’s have the same colour or any. So, stay stock. But for your needs Porsche tcv is way to go

[@6lastresort]

Just curious were you getting a check engine light on you boost leak

[@ShiftingLanes]

I was not

[@6lastresort]

@@ShiftingLanes I just getting in touch with Rich Forsyth like you said. They said they would try and have him contact me directly. Hopefully he can figure out my issue.

[@schwiftymedia3838]

I’ve been trying to figure out the same problem for like 2 weeks running stage 3 I’m a dumbass as well 😂😂😂

[@UnoDos96]

Will there be a video on why you switched from elevate tune to shark?

[@ShiftingLanes]

It's fairly simple, I switched for 2 reasons. #1, shark came highly recommended from guys like Rich Forsythe. #2, its adjustable. So when we go to the dyno after the holidays, im going to log some info and shark will tweak the tune to run as close to perfect as possible.

[@s70driver2005]

Can confirm. Shark stage 3 tune is a beast. My Elevate was good but the Shark is mo better.

[@UnoDos96]

@@ShiftingLanes awesome, looking into their stage 2 tune. Thank you and always enjoy the videos!

[@lastexile1187]

So how much power is it making now?

[@ShiftingLanes]

We will find out exactly how much soon, but it should be over 300 at the crank

[@lastexile1187]

@@ShiftingLanes itll depend on the pump fuel you have access to, if its only running on your 91 octane then id say no, if its setup for 93 then maybe. Speaking from experience of my car, in ireland we only have 95 RON (european ratings are different, 95 RON = 91 octane US) and it really holds these engines back from making good power when using the factory turbo. My car has put down 289@wheels/317hp@fly with a hybrid k04 and 550cc injectors on a custom tune, that was in 33 degrees celcius/91 F ambient though...

[@firstprivate2087]

OK its fine

[@therightnuke]

Would you ever go catless on your dp like Gregson

[@ShiftingLanes]

Gregson’s car isn’t catless.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Also, I wouldn't go catless, throws codes and the performance gains (if any) aren't worth the emissions hassle. However, I would consider a muffler/resonator delete. - Chad

[@therightnuke]

ShiftingLanes it doesnt free up some revs? Ifi were to buy a racing cat and have it welded to a catless dp would that pass emissions?

[@stockwelldesigns8308]

Only lazy tuners can't tune on Mac valves.

[@donrossi1603]

Stop lifting the hood... Drive & enjoy the dam car!!😄😄😄
