Rufio Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Now sold my Corsa and got a new car 2.5td Volvo S80. Going for a sleeper. So lots of engine mods in terms of Superchip, bigger turbo, Exhaust etc. Exterior: Lowering, Tints, Possibly new alloys, Debadge. Drove it for the first time on Saturday and so far love it. Thought i would post a thread up to show my progress:Engines huge compared the the corsa lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo850T5 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 interesting, why drill the airbox? and i would love to hear your Diesel with a dump valve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Cheers, I drilled the airbox to get a better sound of the engine... that low grunt noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrenK Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Good buy on the Volvo - must be some difference from a Corsa! I like the S80s; you probably got the best colour combo also. I take it it's the Audi lump and not the D5? The S80s don't seem very common with this engine! I've got an 850 TDI which I have no intension to tune but I'm interested to see what kind of results you get. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of visually all i want to do is lower, new alloys and possble a sportback exhaust. Then eventually smooth all the lines out. I'm toying with the idea of not putting a bigger turbo because of the lag it will produce. But definate superchip. How much is your bhp on your tdi? Yes mine is the Audi lump.

Yes mine is the Audi lump.140bhp as standard but after 150k it may have dropped a few horses! I'm pretty sure this was the norm until they replaced it with the D5. What year is your S80? For a short period after I got the 850 I thought it would be interesting to have a dump value fitted until I realised 1.9 turbo diesels and dump values attracted the wrong crowd, in my area, anyway! I think the worst thing you can do to a diesel is try to make it sound better - you can only do worse! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufio Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah same. Year 2000 i think mine is. and about 93k The dumpvalves good fun but kinda pointless. Needs lowering as up on stilts at the moment, but i can only find chaning springs and not shock absorbers. I really want a nice sounding exhaust to get rid of the tingy noise of diesel lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
