S60r Performance?


nick S60 R

Recommended Posts

Just order my s60r as some of you might know. Was thinking about getting a upgraded chip for the car and a down pipe. But was wonder what does the chip exactly do? Also whats the effiency of the turbo. How far can I take the stock turbo untill its just blowing hot air, basically what psi is the turbo out of its effiency psi. Also how well does the stock by pass valve work. What size is the turbo on the R. Thank you for all you help guys. :D

The K24 turbo will go up more than enough to handle basic chip tuning. If your going to go above and beyond you should look into a hybrid turbo. The chip, depending on which one, is basically going to remove some limiters and raise the boost. Stock CBV will be more than enough for the volume you will be flowing

what ecm chip would you recommed? And what are the specs on the chip? Bascially i believe the R pushes out about 17psi from factory. So the chip might raise it to mabye 21psi?????????? Also if i get EBC how far can i push the turbo and the engine.

PM boosted S60R, he has pretty much pushed his car to the limits with i believe the stock turbo. he went with RICA for ecu tuning and some other goodies. -Ryan

Take a look at swedespeed's R forum.  They have tons more stuff on S60Rs than Volvospeed, just as Volvospeed has tons more stuff on 850s than Swedespeed.

Yeah but they dont know what their doing. They just throw money and custom floor mats at the car and hope it goes faster,

True. There are several companies out there w/ products made for the S60R. You may want to look at the TME cat-back exhaust system for a few ponies. Also, keep an eye on the proress of Chuck's S60R project car. From the previews we've been shown, it will re-define "fast" :o .

Now why do I have a feeling that this project isn't very representative for you average tune??? :lol:

Reading the comments I think the Engstrom/BSR PPC is the solution.

It gives the car a bit more push and a very nice throttle feel. It isn't the solution for flat out performance but it suits the need given the warranty thought.
