Effects of a s60r exhaust manifold on an 850 T5R

[infinity]

As the title says, I have a complete s60 r setup with turbo etc,

But I have decided to put the turbo on another car, so what effects would just putting the exhaust manifold on have?

I'm assuming less lag/quicker spool.

Any feedback would be great!

It's freer flowing, but on it's own probably won't show a noticeable difference.

In 2004 Volvo introduced the R exhaust manifold for the S60R and V70R which were the high output models for that platform. This new exhaust manifold design incorporated a better merge of the individual runners along with reduced intrusion into the collector.


In short this manifold provides more laminar flow of the exhaust gasses into the turbo which provides earlier spooling and higher power output when compared to the standard 5 cylinder manifold. Can accept both TD04 and K24 turbochargers without modification.


If you're upgrading your turbo this is a great addition!

Do S60R manifolds have no port for the EGR system?

They don't have EGR.

They don't have EGR.

The OP might need this then....

Did U.K. spec 850s have EGR or was it just American spec?

Looks like American spec only...or at least not in the UK

let me know if where's is will get one��

dont know about the s60 manifold but when I put a me7 one on mine I noticed the difference straight away, it felt more positive under acceleration and spool up seemed reduced a tad!! my advice would be fit it anyway, even if you dont feel the benifits straight away itll come into play when you fit additional mods ;-)

ME7 manifold is the same as the t5 manifold Lee, it's probably the japanifold you've got.

I've got one of those.

yeah sorry the japanifold off of an me7 car

Thanks for the responses! Looks like ill do just the manifold then, I'll keep you posted
