854 t5r

[p fandango]

that 850r with its 16t spooled much quicker than my 19t

as i've said many times i was very disappointed with the amount of lag when i first fitted the 19t, & having had the 15g on before i really don't think theirs anything in it now

Got few more bits fitted this weekend, blue injectors, wideband afr gauge and gone back to standard airbox. The air box made a big difference, better pickup,smoother power delivery and just generally goes alot better. And i wasnt using a cheapy filter before either, itg maxogen. So maybe volvo do know what there doing then when it comes to intake design?

Afrs seem good to under load, 11.6 at wot and 14.7~ 15.5 driving normally

I agree 100% with the standard airbox Dan, infact I swear by them.

Every reference I found from reputable sources suggested the standard design was second to non for a standard forced cold air intake system. I think too alot less heat soak.

[Dan850r]

Yeah it doesnt sound as good but goes so much better now! Definately wont be fitting to other filter again lol

[AndysR]

Nice progress... Must confess for looks and performance I am sure the airbox is the better option it's just I am a sucker for noise so still opt for the cone filter...

Took the car to a local rolling road today for a power run

[Dan850r]

[Volvostorm]

Bit of a shame that mine can't used the standard airbox now!

[Dan850r]

Hope they last longer than 8 miles lol, but i got 4 for less than 1 new r888, i wont worry to much.

Im sure he would sell the lot, had a celica st185 rally car, looked battered and wanted £5k for it!

[Dan850r]

Not much of an update, cars running rough at the moment, hence missing shakespear, and no codes stored, so out with a multimeter this weekend looking for a duff sensor! Wish me luck

[Jamest5r]

What do you mean by "rough" mate, lots of know how on here

Im also up near Shrewsbury on Sat maybe could meet and have a look ?
