Timelapse: Volvo 850 T5 Engine Swap and First Start

- After years of work on restoring my Volvo 850 and rebuilding a junkyard T5 engine, I finally got around to swapping the old for the new!
In this vid I'm showing a timelapse of the engine swap, followed by video footage of starting it for the first time. As I used an aftermarket turbocharger, it has no exhaust yet, so it sounds a bit like a T5 tractor.
Timelapse was recorded with a Contour HD.
LOVE THAT 5-CYLINDER GROWL!!!! Huge congratulations. Funny that this was posted on America's "Groundhog Day" which has come to mean a day on which you seem trapped doing the same thing over and over - forever. I bet there were many of those during a multi-year restoration. My 1994 850 with the B234T5 (Benzene (Swedish for petrol/gasoline), 2.3 liter, 4-valve per cylinder, Turbocharged, 5-cylinder) motor only has 110,000 original miles, so it should be fine after its next timing belt and water pump replacement. Wife hates my St. Bridget - Patroness of Sweden, but I can't seem to let her go. Every time I start the 5-cylinder and hear the growl, I smile. When I shut down the engine, I let it idle about 30 seconds first to let cooler oil move into the turbocharger - old trick for turbochargers. Volvo learned a lot about turbochargers when the passenger car and commercial truck divisions were fully one company, since practically every tractor trailer seems to have a turbocharged diesel engine. So much of my 850 Wagen/Estate reminds me of a truck - loud clack of the door locks, difference in the ride between empty and loaded, the steel that was verified as four times the minimum required strength for the passenger cage, and so on. Just an amazing piece of durable engineering.
Hey man, thanks for your comment! Good to hear from a fellow Volvo fanatic :) Hope your car will service you for many years to come!
Good work Well done! Giving me inspiration to treat my glt to some turbo love
I'm looking to do the same, is this the same for a 1993 850?
Nice work! Salutes from sweden.
Nice job man! Hope that old brick can get you some fun!
I'm "just" having the 144hp version, but I love that thing. I'll never want another car. Just a Turbo! :D
Drive safely!
Greetings from Germany
My company where
Free exhaust for the win \o/
Nice work on rebuilding this car. Those will, as 240 wagon, last for ever. Mankind will dies, leave the Earth for new species to wander in Volvo wagons. Yep.
I'm about to do the same thing right now. within the next two weeks. swapping an 850R engine over to my 850R.
nice man! I'm driving the 170hp 20v one and I'm also thinking about a t5 swap.
çok emek verilmiş..Güzel bir video
I'd like to know how long it took you to do it, so it'll give me an idea. I'm planning on doing a similar project but in a shorter time allotted. (A week)
Netjes gedaan, roffel kippevel :p
Good JOB, everybody 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💪....
mooi project!
Nice job. How long did it take you swap those engines?
buen trabajo te felicito quedo hermoso mucha suerte!! desde argentina
I'm thinking about putting a T5R engine in my glt
Keiko FX Designs Have you done that? I’m planning to swap my b5252fs to b5234T, what differences are between equipment of these engines besides gearbox, ECU, wires? Are the engine fixes the same?
Beste Arnout, Ik heb een 2001 S80 2.4t waarvan de cilinderwand lek is. Ik kan aan een betaalbare ruilmotor komen maar durf hem zelf niet te wisselen. Mijn maat en ik zijn wel redelijk technisch maar hebben dit nog nooit gedaan. Kun je ons misschien adviseren, helpen of tegen een (schappelijke/ kleine) vergoeding dit voor ons doen ? We zitten er nogal mee omhoog. Alvast dank!
How hard can it be ? ecu T5 , but wiring is the same ? the dash with turbo gauge have the same connector ? thanks a lot ;)
5)👍
would you do it again and what was the most difficult part
Have you ever done this before?
How long did it take? in total?
+basebulldozer I'd like to know this as well
In total several years, but that was mostly the rebuilding of the block itself. This video shows footage spread across ~2 months, working on- and off.
Volvo psl fix
