Been lurking around for a while so I thought I'd make a quick thread.
The V70R projects follows on from the old XC70 R Terrangkorning Landvagn which concluded 3 years ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Car
2004 Volvo V70R GT
Installed mods:
MTE R stage 2.5 tune. 385hp @ 6000 rpm.
Snabb Turbo intake pipe
EVOLVE Air Management System
TME stainless downpipe and full exhaust
600 x 300 x 76mm FrontMount Intercooler install.
Heat soak in these cars is huge. IAT temperatures would rise from 35c to 80c in 5 seconds of boost.
New intercooler (from Supra) keeps IAT temperatures to a constant 35c :) (relative to summer ambient temps)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interior
Volvotech Canbus Function extender.
IPD GROM USB Iphone interface
LED interior lights
2005 Centre console.
Seems as it came factory with a 9 speaker 300w Dynaudio system, it needed a touch up.
Time to install some Dynamat
before:
after:
Dynamt Extreme in the boot. A must for Volvo wagons:
Including the fibreglass tailgate:
Fire extinguisher install. A must for trackwork:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exterior
I thought I'd get myself a set of 2006 VR Jewel tail lights:
New 35w 5000k HID fog lights at night against a slanted driveway.
Philips DRL installed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to strap the R down and go to the moon.
Random Martian wildlife (otherwise known as Emus)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the track
Time to see how fast she goes..
Was a good night apart from a left rear puncture and a random check engine fault code came on after the second run. With thanks to a local Swede, it was diagnosed and cleared.
Was also the first time I've put it into race mode.
Pretty consistant night with the times.
4th run 13.682 @ 100.11 mph. - 1.94 60'
Having some fun at Antilag Racewars.
1000m @208.5km/hr
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While I had zero spare time I thought I'd buy the android app Torque and install it on to my 10.1" tablet.
As I have a Bluetooth obd2 elm327 dongle, I thought I'd give it a go.
Turns out I can do real time data logging, check signals and check/clear diagnostic codes.
