Seaway Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I am going to put a 19T in my 1998 V70 T5M in the near future. So far I have the turbo, green injectors, 3" down pipe and cat to an IPD cat back exhaust, Snabb intake and a Japanifold. I am obviously getting a tune for all of this.Aside from Stage 0 maintenance, are there any other supporting changes/mods/maintenance that I am overlooking or that I should do? Are stock plug wires and ignition going to be suitable? I am not looking to run the car on the razor's edge, just have a solid performer and daily driver.

Tightmopedman9 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I would highly recommend replacing the fuel pump. Also, you're going to be very handicapped by the stock intercooler, if you replace it you'll see significant gains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaway Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I was wondering about the stock intercooler. Is the do88 drop in a good solution? Should the fuel pump be upgraded or replaced with a new stock unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Lots of options for fuel pumpi have the Walbro (think its 255lph)do88 drop in is exactly what you need other things you can do that "help"intake manifold spacer Na throttle body and Intake mani biggest thing is stage 0 like you said sure up leaks and potential weak spots and have fun!

Tightmopedman9 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 The D088 is quite nice.I recommend the DW200 pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdog Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 +1 recommend on the do88 w/rip kit; aka as the "BigPack". Save up and go for it. And if you're doing the N/A throttle body, make sure to order the 76mm (3") rather than the stock 63mm. This is the setup i have. Main thing I noticed from the mod was I didn't have huge drop-off in pwr in the hot summer temperature driving; with the stock intercooler, summer would turn my very nicely pwr'd DD, into kind of a dog (by comparison). You will still see some pwr drop-off in summer, even with the do88 intercooler, but I almost don't even notice it now.I lucked out and got mine with the last group buy on VS; probably saved me close to $200 i figure.. there are less expensive options out there, but the do88 is probably the best.. at this point in time..

I know that it has been discussed at length, but I don't know as I have ever seen a definitive answer. "Better throttle feel," "shorter path of charge air travel" "lower intake temps" and all that sounds good, but is there any practical difference in a daily driver? If not, I will probably skip it. The do88 drop in at $500 is plenty spendy enough for me. The D088 is quite nice.I recommend the DW200 pump.I am going to look into fuel pumps and see what makes the most sense. I looked at a few videos and tutorials about replacing it last night and it seems pretty straight forward as long as there is an access port inside the car. I will have to look to make sure my car has one. Is the stock fuel pump simply not up to the task of feeding enough fuel to the injectors?Lots of options for fuel pumpi have the Walbro (think its 255lph)do88 drop in is exactly what you need other things you can do that "help"intake manifold spacer Na throttle body and Intake mani biggest thing is stage 0 like you said sure up leaks and potential weak spots and have fun! I am going to skip the NA throttle body and intake manifold as well as the cams at this point. I am sure they help, but my main interest lies in having a reliable (as a 17 year old high mileage car can be) daily driver. I don't want to push things to the max. Honestly, I wasn't going to do any of these upgrades until I rode in am S70 T5M with a 19T and a TMM9 tune and felt the felt the difference in performance over my car. It was silly. And right after that encounter, it was like fate intervened and I got an offer to trade some wheels (beautiful refinished Volans) for a CJ Yother down pipe and cat, found a cheap but perfect 19T, and found a set of green injectors out of a low mileage donor car. With any luck I will have the exhaust sorted by Wednesday. I am interested to see how that impacts the way the car performs. I am running an ARD Green Tune and a 16T on the 2000 V70R motor now and it is plenty of fun. Maybe once the down pipe is installed I will skip the 19T upgrade. But I seriously doubt it.

Brad850 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Unfortunately some of the graphs stopped working. http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/166016-another-intercooler-upgrade/ http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/164796-do88-drop-in-intercooler-and-rip-kit-review/ @17psi.. OEM intercooler: After IC temp: 88ºF Pressure drop: 2.9psi do88 drop in performance intercooler: After IC temp: 71ºF Pressure drop: 0.7psi I think you will definitely feel 17 degrees cooler and 2.2 lbs more boost. It's a good upgrade considering how hot the little td04's get.. as well as typical boost fade. All this being said, I think you'll be better off spending money else where (going by your goals in the first post). Maybe spend it on gauges (boost/afr/egt) if you don't have them.

I didn't realize my car inspired you that much :P hahaa jk It's going to happen. Not soon, but it's going to happen. I had a lot of otherother maintenance to do first. Lots of front suspension stuff as well as all new everything in the ignition system. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil. Then I had some rear suspension stuff to do as well. I hope to get the tune and turbo in by the end of January. The do88 intercooler is definitely something I am interested in doing at some point.

Wesdunns70t5m Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I just bought an obx angled dp, now I'm looking for an angled exhaust housing. My heater core recently crapped out on me so that's been ordered and hopefully getting fixed next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaway Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 My car has been one problem after another for the last couple months. It's finally running well and driving well. All new everything will do that. I also installed an IPD rear sway bar and IPD short ram intake. And control arms and tie rod ends. Should be ready for the 19t as soon as my wallet is. I had to replace the two batteries on my boat today too. It never ends! You may be able to find an angled flange exhaust housing over on Swedespeed.

Wesdunns70t5m Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Mines been giving me problem after problem too it seems. I actually saw a post from the same guy I bought the do from that he's selling the 7cm angled dp. It seems it's coming time for me to crack my engine and throw some rods in too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaway Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I am going to spend the next two months fishing for big ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD catfish and hope that I am done fixing stuff for a bit. The last month was a lot of work. It was worth it, but I want a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 take the 7cm2 claim with a grain of salt. A lot of people don't really know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
