evilb Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Not sure if this has been covered before (can't find anything on it through search), but I just noticed there are two different style intake manifolds. There's one with curved tubes (on 90's models) and then there's the straight tubes (like on the S60R). And apparently the straight manifold was used on T-5's as well. I've been wondering if there would be any benefits in using the straight instead of the curved.Straight intake from S60R...Curved intake...Straight intake in 2000 C70...Oh and where is the throttle body on the S60R manifold? on the bottom?

JHEIII874T5M Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Also an ETM on the 99+. Have seen ported stock "curved" intake manifolds push over 400whp before. Though that's not to say there isn't a better design out there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKSIDE Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 this is interesting, I didn't even know this was done b4...the only thing I don't like is the fact that the S60R intake mani sticks out much further...correct me if I'm wrong...

VolvoKid4Life Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 From what i have heard the 850 intake manifold has just as much flow as the S60R ones. There might be some very small abouts of flow differents but nothing to even make a diff. I would personally pick the 850 intake over the S60R intake just because i think it works better and looks better.JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Best just to make one or have one made if you're considering changing it. Though high HP swedish cars run stock manifold? I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilb Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Best just to make one or have one made if you're considering changing it.True, a custom would probably be better though it would only be a necessity if everything else was modified to the max. An interesting idea I've had after looking at some more S60R pictures would be to use that manifold with a RIP kit and a narrower battery rotated 90 degrees against the driver side fender. That would make a massive amount of space for an absolutely ridiculous intake and extremely short charge air plumbing if using a stock mounted intercooler.

bigmay850 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 the difference would be in the runners.the longer the runner better for bottom rpmsshorter runners better for higher rpms.not sure what the length is for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
