hi everyone and happy new year... i came across justin on ebay and got talking to him and here i am.... a new member.. i carried out his airbox drilling mod today and as i emailed him earlier it made a huge difference to bhp..... my T5R is near on 300bhp.... 294 to be presice and its gone up to 315bhp.
i did a before and after bhp test with a g tech performance meter and this is the result....... wot sort of 0-60 times are you guys and gals running????
cheers
Adam :)

hi welcome to the forum, what other mods you got?

[Justin]

:welcome:

Have sent you an email with a vid attached of mine :)

[adamt5r]

hi there,
the mods i have are remap, k and n panel filter, samco silicon hoses, drilled airbox, horns moved and a mesh grill apart from that its a standard yellow T5R saloon and i love it. We have had volvo's in the family for years and i now have a very envious dad that trys nicking the keys every time possible!!!!
wot do u recommend as the next mod then??? de cat?? :) :) :)

i have just looked at justins 0-60 vid. i have had a recorded 6.21 but must try again with the increased bhp, is 6.21 about right???? who thinks it quicker with the tracs on or off??

[Justin]

You should be able to get a sub 6 mate, the tracs wont make any difference on the 850 either. The next mod i would go for is a turbo upgrade and remap, about 340bhp, thats about all that the engine will stand really, before the internals start to bend.

Duane AKA Covcrew has a decat, it sounds delightful, and spits flames, and considering he runs an MBC with no remap the car is as fast as mine, very slightly quicker over a ¼ mile.

I'm sure the man himself will jump in when he is ready.....Que Duane......:worship:

I have recorded a 14.6 1/4 mile. She is no slouch. I am not quite certain about the 0 -60 but it is near to 6 secs as I can work out and that is in a AT car

the difference it made to BT was unbelievable especially for the money, boost winds up alot quicker than before & makes for a very fun drive :dgrin:

[Tomcat]

How do they pass an MOT without a CAT in the system?, doesn't it knock the emissions up at all? :shifty:

[Pedro Fandango]

:wallbash: erm forgot that bit, you need to refit the CAT for the MOT

[adamt5r]

sounds interesting, does it flame with the de cat??? where can i get 1 and roughly how much are they??? :thewave:

[Pedro Fandango]

i get a massive bang when i back off boost & J says he's seen flames out of both tail pipes :sinner: , whether this is the de-cat or the exhaust i've no idea. Either way i'd recommend it IF you can be bothered with the hassle at MOT time

i got mine done by Powerflow (http://www.powerflow.uk.com/) but can't say how much it cost because it was done with a complete exhaust, but for 2-3 foot of straight pipe & a bit of time cutting & jointing it shouldn't be to dear. They give free estimates so it won't hurt to see what they say

Welcome to the forum Adam! Sounds like you have a pearl of a beast there!!! When do we get to meet her!!!! :wink:

If your into noise and pyrotechnics then definately get a powerflow exhaust and decat! Pedro's (Duane's) is beyond words!!! One of the best T5's I have ever known (and have the priviledge of driving and that thing is a monster to drive!!)

Keep us updated! :wink:

There are a few southerners on here, in fact I was in Kent all week last week.

We will probably start the Santa Pod meets Aprilish - better chance of a dry day and we tend to stay in a cheap hotel the night before for a bit of a get together so it would be good to see you there!

The rolling road session is in Yorkshire so a million miles from you!

15.6 on the trip computer (not sure how much of that is coming out the back for the fireworks tho :sinner: )

[adamt5r]

i feel better now, my is doing about 16mpg to about 22mpg when my other half drives!!! and the best thing for fuel saving is having my 17 day old son in the car upto 22mpg............................................ but baby stuff is more expensive than fuel;-)
