How to get big power from a t5

[daza-b]

Right im going to start this thread as im planning on getting some big power from t5.
The things i have already found are:

Forged pistons, rods and arp bolts
arp head bolt set
Port & Polished head
possibly an R manifold
re bore to 82mm per piston and uprated cylinder sleeves
full turbo back s/s exhaust with universal sports cat
remap

things i am unsure on is:
Best turbo to use (bigger the better lol)
poss supercharger (unsure which to use to go well with a large turbo)
not sure if i could go awd or not for handling??
and other bits of mods to help with the plans


any advice is greatly appreciated and hope this thread will be useful to others

i have had a look at claymores thread for the supercharger mod but unsure how its plumbed in and goes with his turbo

Your will struggle with tracton i'd have thought,

4wd Volvo's are weak imho,

Turbo Gt3071r would be the choice

forgot to mention i have found a cool lsd, which aint an lsd, this is the description:

Our Torque Biasing (ATB) Gearbox Differentials are direct replacement units for the standard Volvo open differential on vehicles equipped with a manual gearbox.

Unlike your standard plate style limited slip differential (LSD), our ATB Gearbox Differentials rely on gears versus clutch plates for operation. This translates into smoother operation and reduced wheel spin.

Unlike a conventional LSD, our ATB Gearbox Differential never locks harshly with a set preload of wheel slip across the driven axle. Instead, the ATB Gearbox Differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.

Our ATB Gearbox Differential enables your car to accelerate quicker and corner faster by getting the power to the ground! It powers both drive wheels instead of just one in nearly all conditions. Instead of wasting precious power via wheelspin under acceleration, our ATB Gearbox Differential does just the opposite. It can sense which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. This occurs smoothly and constantly without completely removing power from the other wheel.

In certain conditions (drag race, straight line acceleration) this allows nearly 50/50 power split to both drive wheels, essentially doubling the amount of tire grip available compared to a standard Volvo differential. Whether cornering through or accelerating out of a turn, our ATB Gearbox Differential biases power to the outside-wheel and reducing inside-wheel spin; this allows the driver to accelerate earlier through the turn, resulting at higher speed corner exits.


ATB Gearbox Differential Benefits:
Improved traction -maximize your Volvo's performance potential
Minimized wheelspin - retain driver control of car through the twisties
Improved handling and steering
Maintenance-free design while retaining standard oil lubrication.
Our ATB Differential Gearboxes are proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use. Manufactured by Quaife in the United Kingdom, all ATB Differential Gearboxes are made from scratch from Corus steel billets, CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards. With a lifetime warranty (subject to terms and conditions), rest assured you will purchase the highest quality differential on the market today!

yeh, they use longer con-rods & a shorter piston so not sure if its going to be better using the new or the older system with it

[T5frankie]

paint it saffron
