Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 What stikes me jerk odd is that of the 2 people posting in this, niether have english as a 1st language, yes they are conversing in it perfectly. See what american power projection has done....Oh and you might want to consider KW's to help hold that power to the ground.I was thinking for KW VARIANT 2,because I have KONI yellow,and EIBACH springs,but they are very awful.

Hellas850 T-5 Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Missed this, the rods will cost around 170 bucks each and the pistons cost around 100 bucks each here.You can always check US prices on the pistons, many OEM parts are cheaper in USA.Scott: Haha! /MikeThe bad thing is that we have high taxes to the parts that out of Europe.35% up!!!I want to buy these famous IPD sway bars for the front and the rear axle,and I'm thinking this extra money for the taxes.

The guy who send the package need to mark it with these things.One option is to ask Ipd to write a lower value. Enough of this illegal stuff, would never do it.Send some Feta Cheese to the member that will help you! Should work... /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.5 litre engines and some 2.4´s got 83 mm bore, you got a 2.3 and that´s 81 mm.The best thing you can do is to use S60T5 pistons, let´s say from a 02. I use the 0.40 OD´s and bore it just to get new straight cylinders.You don´t want to bore up your engine to 83 mm, you´ll make it weaker and the S60 pistons can handle 500+hp./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does VOLVO sells oversize pistons?and what about the rings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does VOLVO sells oversize pistons?and what about the rings?Yeah, just tell them you want 0.40 ones for a S60T5 with B5234T3 engine, buy the OD rings at the same time.Then make sure to use a good engine shop to bore it. /Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
