    Thumbs up New S60R and V70R Upgrades

    Hi all,

    For those of you who own an S60R or V70R (2003 or later) then we have some new upgrades available. As well as our existing 340 bhp and 360 bhp stage 1 and 2, we also have stage 3 and 4 which are 420 bhp and 450+ bhp.

    Check out the details on our web site http://www.volvotuninguk.com under the Engine Tuning section.

    The best bit about upgrading these cars is that you don't need to rebuild the engine internals for big power, and you don't need to upgrade the brakes and suspension because Volvo kindly did all this for you at the factory! And with the 4WD system you can get a decent launch without spinning the wheels, so you can actually use all the power and torque available.

    Adam.

    ps. Edited because originally when I wrote this at 3am I put 500 bhp when I should have put "up to 500 bhp". In reality, there is no point in putting a ceiling on stage 4 as the power ultimately depends on how much you want to spend. 450 bhp is the target starting point for stage 4.

    500bhp on standard engine internals ?! blimey !

    Can't wait to see someone go for that !

    Will the Haldex system cope with the power well ?

    Depends on how much you abuse it I guess! Besides, 420 bhp is probably fast enough for most people. Stage 2 and 3 are the recommended ones to keep things sensible, safe and reliable.

    Approx between £4500 - £5500 respectively, although stage 4 may require a fair bit more for maximum reliability. Stage 3 is actually good value for the power you get!

    Does the stage 4 for the V70 come with a spatula to remove the family dog from the rear window.

    Your website states that in Stage 3 and 4 an ITG filter is used.

    Do you use a modified airbox as I understood that ITG dont yet do a filter for the P2 R's (suppose they made do by now?)

    Also, what cat back do you use - Miltek?

    Cheers

    Rob

    Yes they do. We have them in stock, for use with the standard airbox. However, a carbon airbox induction kit is also available if required.

    Cat-back is Ferrita.
