Vs709987 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hey wassup all, I just got handed down a 4 cyl 1999 volvo s70. When my parents bout it they thought it was top of the line but it was only the interior n speaker system that was top of the line, mean while I get the shaft with the 4 cyl engine. Im just startin out on my journey to fully hookin up my volvo n i was wondering wher all u guys n grls suggest i should start chip?, exhaust?, n uself information on getting started is appreciated. thanks, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiku Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 FYI, i don't think volvo made a 4 cyl for S70 (unless it's some strange euro version)and if it isn't a turbo, don't bother wasting money on engine mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the underlørd Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 ok, it's a 5 cylinder NA S70.... and you won't ever 'drop a turbo' in it.... lower it, do some nice cosmetic mods, and you'll be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Tuning 850 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Welcome to the board.I wanna see pics of this so called 4 cyl engine that you have in there.If it isn't a turbo don't really bother with engine mods. Do your maintainence, then slap a K&N panel filter in there, and possibly a 2.5" Cat-back exahust system.Slap a strut brace on there too.I would do more cosmetics to it though. Tint/ Clear corners/ E-Code headlamp len's/ Lower it/ 17" or 18" rims/ Eyebrows a must/ Etc...What is your budget like anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overboost850 Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 My g/f goes to MSM and I'm up there most weekends. Like everyone is saying you have a 5 cyl NA s70. Many ideas for the NA motors have been tossed around on the boad but none seem to amount to anything. Power is hard to come by from these motors. That doesnt mean you are completely screwed when it comes to modifying your ride though. Many guys on here have gone the NA route and are probably some of my favorite looking cars on the board. AFranke's NA s70 is a great testament to this and he is in MD as well on the eastern shore( but I believe he goes to UMBC for school) So just a word to the wise don't go looking for huge power upgrades without looking to spend a lot of money, time and effort requiring a lot of DIY car knowledge. The first two being what college students lack most. I'll look for you on campus. Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intake, and exhaust. Port and polish, nitrous, you know what I said before.Looks can be done, and the N/A's do look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
