Dmsee Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 OO ok Well, your 2001 is probably falling apart already isn't? Are you talking about 2.5T ones? 2005 looks like to be really reliable Have you looked into S60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin' T5M Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Get it!!!!! It's one of the better S80's out there. Reliable motor, better trans. More leg room in the rear than the S60. (you know this already having a S80). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvos60t5x Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 looks nice, and the 2.5T in the s80 is a great option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmsee Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 looks nice, and the 2.5T in the s80 is a great option.Yep, needs a lot of power to push this beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVC Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Looks sick, do it. I have a S80 T6 and love it, and gotta figure that an S80 T5 would be damn nice too. More parts will be available to mod the engine for that because its a T5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZT5 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 2.5T and T5 are different engines. 2.5T is an LPT (light pressure turbo) motor and has a very small turbo which builds boost at low RPM and has very good low end power, where as the T5 is an HPT (high pressure turbo) motor and has a larger turbo and makes most of its power at higher RPM. S80's were never available with T5 motors.2005 2.5T makes 208 hp and 236 ft-lb 2005 T5 (only available in the S60 and V70) makes 257 hp and 258 ft-lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
