do you know what internals need to be upgraded? like head gasket, pistons, rods? or what? lol sorry for all the questions im just trying to figure all this out

 

Nope go over to Volvospeed for that info. Or someone on here might know. TECH help him ok. Thanks.

 

well thanks for all the info s70driver and the help...

 

no problem, when are you starting all of this?

 

From what I hear the Stock internals can hold 400 HP.

 

That is what I thought as well, but to be sure upgrade them incase plus if you go higher you already have them upgraded. Internals that is.

 

well i planned on getting this nice s70 5 speed turbo but it just sold. I am going to try hard to find/get one this summer and am going to sell my bmw. I will have money left over and would like start makin it faster, so this summer i should get the car and most bolt on stuff, wont have time to do internals for a couple months, so i wont plan on getting high numbers yet lol... and i read that the 19t can only hold like 350whp so i am going to have to go to something bigger from what i read on volvospeed.

it isnt easy to find an s70 turbo (higher hp one) 5-speed here in florida... but i really want to find one, even if i could find a nice 850 5-speed i would get it! probably will have to buy one out of state and get it shipped here : (

 

Get an S70 T-5 auto and do a manual swap.

 

how much $ is it to do the swap? I have done some junk down there in my bmw since i recently did a cllutch... so how difficult do u think it is also?

 

oh also, what is the difference between a glt and a t-5... i know t-5 is faster, but is it b/c it has a bigger turbo or something or is it totally different? lol, now u have me looking at the auto's and there are a LOT in my area haha

 

Someone in the 850 section asked the same thing and there was posts to doing it.

Yes it is hard to find a 5-speed here in Fla.

Where are you in FLA?

 

well i am from tampa bay area, and thats where my parents live but am going to FSU in Tallahassee right now... so basiclally i live in tally and come home every once in a while and for summer etc...

 

oh is the 850 and the s70 gonna be the same for the manual conversion?

 

Almost exactly the same.

 

I would get the S70 T-5 Auto. And buy a manual tranny from the dealership or some other respectful place.

 

Oh I am in Orlando and we sell cars if we get one in I will let you know.

 

awsome, that is like 2hrs from tally and tampa, so cant lose there : )
thanks man!

manual tranny from deal is prob a good chunk of money... but maybe not, i'll have to look that up

 

OK keep us posted.

 

i did a search and can see that the glt and the t-5 are just high and low pressur turbo's... does that mean that if you have either car, they will be the same after a chip since both will be at high boost? or are they accually "different" turbos? do they both have the same internals, fuel, etc...?

 

i saw somewhere that a stock s70 t-5 got a 14.7 in the 1/4 (manual of course), just wondering what it gets after dp, exhaust, and chip - estimating like 300 crank hp... is that getting into the high 13's?
