Volvo 850 T5 Kompressor

[claymore2k]

Hi, This is my ongoing project, 850 T5 with an m45 eaton supercharger.

[L91 EON]

[y2blade]

fantastic Fast Volvos ROCK

I'd love to see any videos you have of it

[claymore2k]

Let me at least get it running first

that sounds fair


excellent project buddy, will be following it with great interest

I bet it will sound amazing with the 5cyl note mixed with the Supercharger whine

[CraigVmax]

were the t5's turbocharged?

they were.

I've see an 850 saloon with a rotrex charger before.

Great project , as Y2blade said fast Volvos rule !

Are the benefits that actually warrant Supercharging an engine that's designed to take a turbo worth it ? If not who cares it's stilll uber cool !

does this have both then? (prob being a bit thick here)

I don't think the M45 would be up to that without some modifications

Interesting project OP, it'll be interesting to watch it progress... I particularly like the subtle bonnet venting..

[DannyVTS]

Nice car, but the alloys are gash.

sorry it had to be said

Yes this will be compound charged.

Not going to be as subtle in the future I'm afraid.
I'v now got all the pipe fittings I need, so did a bit of plumbing today,



So, I'v decided what look I'm going for with the bonnet

This was a Pulsar type vent which I'v cut about an inch off the hight and got rid of the front bit, I may go lower yet.

Nice.

[rgracin]

Front tyres lasting too long were they?

go for it!

I love this, a twincharged 850.

You sir, are a complete fking idiot!
I commend you and your stupidity and will be paying close attention to how this pans out.


Could you just let me know what tyres you will be buying so i can invest now.

I beleive that Linglong are quite hard wearing, but i think you have to give them a weeks notice in triplicate if you want to go round a corner.

This is what this site is all about. No bickering over which car has the most mpg for a given weather system, or slagging off someone's prefered choice of footwear, or throwing red bull mx5 mixers at mapped 335d's. Just mad, mad people doing mad, mad things to make cars go faster. 'Speed Matters'... says it on the front page.

Love it.

And fast Volvos do indeed rock. Unfortunately mine is not fast at all, and only rocks cause the shocks are dead

PS What about a vent from a Vauxhall Monterey/Isuzu Trooper? Goes with the boxy shape of the Ovlov. Would link here but the google IMG addy is huuuuge.

I have to agree that you're a blanket short of a picnic.

But my God, that's brilliant, it's not as if they're sluggish cars to being with is it!?!
