Just set up a questionable rig (iphone attached to the steering wheel :biggrin: ) to film a quick 0-60 run after i finally got the moody little beast running properly, and based on the book times for the 850, it would seem to be getting to 60 as quick as a T5, so watch out haha ;) Description in link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD-eALe4uwA&feature=feedu
dont think so mate lol i timed that twice at 8 secs and not including speedo inaccuracies mine does it in around 5.5-6, nippy though

Fair enough, parkers seem to think the standard 850 T5 runs 7.5s which is around about what the first run was in the video. Still, not bad i'd say :)
very nippy mate nice job.i will have to time my 137 bhp 940 to see what that is like
any photos?

[quote=smithy;429900]very nippy mate nice job.i will have to time my 137 bhp 940 to see what that is like[/quote] 10.5 secs
Timed at 7.6s Brisk enough but not as quick as a T5 methinks... A T5 would really start to show its power above 60 anyways. Still looks fairly quick and I bet you give a fair few 'quick' cars quite a surprise in that!
[quote=t5frankie;429901]any photos?[/quote] I'll start a thread in the projects section tomorow with all the pics as i documented the complete swap from start to finish
[quote=Phil B;429902]Originally it was 11.4 with the old engine, but a standard turbo is supposed to be, 8.8s, again taken from parkers.[/quote] most volvos speedos are about 4-5mph out at 60-70mph so 70 mph on the speedo would be 65-66mph in reality

[quote=t5frankie;429903]10.5 secs[/quote] na i recon 12 secs mate lol
Nice going looks like it moves pretty well, I bet you can shock a few cars with that of a set of lights!! Reminds me of my mates Orion turbo alittle in the way it goes and sounds.
I can be reasonably happy that Betsy can do 0 - 62 in about 6 seconds. I know for a fact she does 77.2 mph in 9.68 seconds & a full quarter of a mile in 14.5 doing 104.7 mph (eat that Frankie- boy)
[quote=Wobbly Dave;430009]I know for a fact she does 77.2 mph in 9.68 seconds & a full quarter of a mile in 14.5[/quote] i did that 7years ago with a 15g & a MBC, i guess 850's really do rule lol ;)

Nope - you did 14.55 @ 99.1 - there's quite a difference. Plus I will be old and grey before BT puts in an appearance.;) Frankie don't be too long - we already have 1 pedro/BT combination.
99.1... Mines on the pencil sharpener sized stock turbo and it did 99.5 :D Terminal speed is a good measure of how 'powerful' a car is... timing can be down to a lot of other factors.
when is the full RS conversion going in?
[quote=t5_monkey;430046]Wobbly's Turns into star ship enterprise in 3rd :) Can't see much keeping up with it![/quote] i can me lol
[quote=Wobbly Dave;430187]Nope - you did 14.55 @ 99.1 - there's quite a difference.[/quote] the only difference is the 5mph extra on the speed, considering the spec thats not enough
I hope you will be able to put me in my place next year.
[quote=Wobbly Dave;430265]I hope you will be able to put me in my place next year.[/quote] if BT's still in the 14's then she's got some serious issues lol
[quote=p fandango;430268]if BT's still in the 14's then she's got some serious issues lol[/quote] Well we all know about the owner/driver.. can there really be a more serious issue than that?

Actually I have come across one other issue which could be "on par" with you and termed serious... By the time BT is ready to go petrol will be a fuel retired to the history books, you may have to think this through and go hybrid/electric power if your not careful Pedro.
