This engine is fantastic no matter which car it lives in Volvo's, Ford Focus ST & RS. Inline 5 cylinder 20 valves and turbocharged. It sounds fantastic and the torque it delivers is immense. It harks back to the days of the Audi Quattro and it just puts a smile on your face every time you bury the throttle!
T5R's still hold respect today, despite the FWD! But this guys driving skills are something else completely.....This bloke is taking the car to the edge of it's limits!!!!
Car was on KW variant 2. There was certainly room for improvement in that area, but things get expensive very very quickly once you want to go to something more "racy".
Nice ride man! i own a 850 T5 myself, signal red with a rica 280 chip n a miltek exhaust so not quite the beast you have there but, still a blast to drive n would love to go round the ring just for the experiance!
nice vid ! wish the weather was that good when i went there 3 years ago, my m8 crashed out cos it was pissing down ! but a good vid and good dabble you had . keep um coming !
thanks! Sounds like a nice plan, I am using the standard fuel rail, its fine until 450hp or so. The 19T will limit you to about 350, FT will handle it :)
@redvitoxxx That's cool! He did seem uneasy with entry speed into the faster corners, just a matter of learning the track :) My volvo no longer has license plates on it :( In Belgium the regulations are really difficult, all mods are illegal....so now its only a track car. No more TF :( But on the Nurburgring they have nice closed trackdays, I'll be there in a few weeks. Much safer than tourist driving with many slow cars.
ik heb die focus daar ook al gezien :) da spel gaat wel bangelijk goed!! ik kan maar niet geloven hoe snel ge met uwe volvo bent..Respekt man!! see you den 23e @ NS :)
If the track surface is warm enough, I think the R888's usually work really well even when they have almost no tread left at all. Just have to get a bit of heat into them.
@JCviggen1 thank u very much.other questions now cause I'M REALLY looking forward to upgrade my old beauty .can I have a good and fast going 850 that doesn't crashes every time it see's a corner for about 10000euro?and have you chaged the camshafts in your car when yes witch one is it and will it fit on an 2.5 I don't think but you never know...thanks a lot
@JCviggen1 thanks for your answer jc. What mods are you exactly in your t5r engine ? How many turbo pressure on the ring ? Very lovely of yours vidéos !!! a pleasure to meet you around the ring.
Nice Video :) I'm making sort of a tuned 850 my self and I just wonder if it is necessary to equip the oil sump with oil trap to ensure the oilspupply when you are using R888 driving on the Ring? I also have experienced been overtaken up Bergwerk with something that sounded like a heavily tuned 855T5-R. Due to traffic in AngstKurve (as usual) I managed to follow it for some time but I couldn't help notice that the rear of the car seemed a bit unstable. Have you experienced that?

thank y very much for your answer .I got fiew other questions now cause I m really looking forward to upgrade my old beauty.can I have a good and fast going 850 for about 10.000 euro that doesn't crashes every time itt see's a corner lol.and did you changed the camshafts in your car when yes witch ones and will they fit in my 2.5 L I don't think but you never know ...thanks a lot
Ok, definately little too expensive for my purpose.I've got to search for a more or less "cheap" brake system.I fell in love with the R-brakes of the S60R some time ago, i will search if anyone sells a set.You got any any experiences?My destination won't be reaching your performance for sure ;) Best regards and a big compliment for nice driving.
I love how he accelerate out of the corners, most people wait till they almost clear the corner, he start 0.5 sec sooner than most people, compensate for delay between pushing the pedal and engine actually revving up!

Any BBK will do good really, certainly if you add race pads like these. But they also cost a lot. IIRC I paid around 190 eur for a set of these pads. The S60R front calipers don't really fit the 850/x70, needs a very weird adapter to work. Porsche kits or other brembo based will do fine.
In the minute 5:00 when you approach 190/200 km/h you can hear a sound that it's like one of those air attack sirens of WW II, and when in 5:20 you reduce your speed the sound also gets quieter. What part of the car is making that sound? I think in rally cars it's the gear box, but those are highly modified whereas your car is almost stock, right?
Nice vidéo JC ! I am ringer too,and i making a 850R with 19T and other parts (S60 R manifold,injectors 470cc,kw V2,etc...).In january,i go to Fasttech Holland for the mapping.On your car,have you change the fuel rail ? (i would like buy a Nuke performance,but is it really necessary ?^^). Thanks for your answer,and Volvo powaaa !!!
@wernerdeluxe merci :D focus had semis, coilovers en rolkooi en natuurlijk extra pks hij kende enkel de baan nog niet 100% denk ik. 23 aug nurburgring trackday fyi!
Did you ever put a full build thread on up volvo tuning or swedespeed forums? Be interested to know what turbo, boost and cams you were running. Boost comes on really strong
I think there should have been on volvospeed probably... username jcviggen but it's been like a decade obviously so memory is a bit hazy. GT2871R .63 AR with T3 housing and an ATP turbo wastegate onto an S60R manifold.
@1peugeot306 it's all right but ideally on the 15G you want to do around 1.0 bar. This way it won't blow itself to death before it hits 4500rpm and you have more power left at 5500. I use a custom V-band 3" downpipe with a GT2871R turbo (and a V-band wastegate)
Go get a 2.3l turbo. Putting a turbo on the 2.5l could kill it. The bore is bigger, so Material inbetween cylinders is thinner. So they will be more sensitive to heat and maybe won't last long. Just saying. Technically, of course it is possible. But financially it never pays to convert NA to turbo. Just buy a cheap t5 and do some small improvements. Cheaper. Less headache ✌
nice! Heb een paar schoon dinge kunnen zien (qua) lijnen die ik echt moet onthouden! Wel cool, op sommige stukken lijk ik dezelfde snelheden te halen :-p hehehe (glunder glunder) Al zou ik zo nooit ni durve te rijde met ne FWD. In't begin snijdt ge een paar keer de bocht af, geeft da geen probleme met het onderstel? Is da ni riskant? Ik ga richt curbstones, ma ik ga er zeker ni op.

You make us other volvo owner proud!! You overtake 911's, skylines, m3's, evo's! All hail the volvo and the 850 T5!!
nearly 200 kph and putting his sunglasses on 0:25
"Deal with it"
Tim Scheffer yes!!! This hit me too
When you know what you are doing you get to me that comfortable.
Daily routine :)
On est jamais trop prudent

cant stop loving a T5 engine and 850 body... awesome..
I love this sound when i give my t5 a kick in the ass and then his 5 cyl. begins with a deep snorkeling and goes over to scream.
T5R's still hold respect today, despite the FWD! But this guys driving skills are something else completely.....This bloke is taking the car to the edge of it's limits!!!!
He's a legend at the ring :P
Focus RS T5 2006 vs. Volvo 850 T5R... sweden motors.. Nice!!
its the 2009 RS mk2.
2009....
Putting on Sunglasses at 192km/h... :D
sounds like a stuka dive bomber!!
I hear it😂
Thought the same 😅
That is one fast Volvo..great video of a legendary car.. Love it.
Whoa..this Volvo sounds like a Stuka Dive-Bomber!
I like it!
Nice driving, heart rate always goes up when I watch these.
Very nice lap well driven. Also love the sound of your transmission.
Volvo 5 cylinder engine is a beast, one of the best engines ever built, volvo for life.
That diff whine is absolutely glorious!
Makes the glorious car sound like a Hunting Stuka!
Back again watching you wrestle this beastie... your a legend..
Beautiful track. Great driving. The cornering on that car is unbelievable.
watching this over and over again, just amazing sound and AWSOME car! Love this video!
Car was on KW variant 2. There was certainly room for improvement in that area, but things get expensive very very quickly once you want to go to something more "racy".
Nice ride man! i own a 850 T5 myself, signal red with a rica 280 chip n a miltek exhaust so not quite the beast you have there but, still a blast to drive n would love to go round the ring just for the experiance!
Dude's calmly reaching for his shades at 190 kph! Really enjoyed watching this man. I'll always regret selling my T5R. Best car I've ever owned.....
So fast, nice car and nice driving!
Awsome..... Great sounding car and looks like it handles well too..
Cool vid. Crazy seeing trackday with cars and bikes!!
Volvo be like, get back here and give that motor back!
Great skills and some really nice lines taken aswell! looked like the back end was gonna twitch out at a few places lol
I love your volvo, this is best model in hole history! ♥️
nice vid ! wish the weather was that good when i went there 3 years ago, my m8 crashed out cos it was pissing down ! but a good vid and good dabble you had . keep um coming !
thanks! Sounds like a nice plan, I am using the standard fuel rail, its fine until 450hp or so. The 19T will limit you to about 350, FT will handle it :)
@SessionR there is no speed limiter, but I have a shorter final ratio in the gearbox which will limit the car to around 270 km/h at 7200rpm in 5th.
4.25? 4.45?
@@martinlund9524 Don't remember but the box came out of a 2 litre NA 850.
The noise, FANTASTIC!!!
I love your Videos JC ... thanks for sharing them
Your skills are quite enjoyable I must say! Really nice vid :)
@redvitoxxx That's cool! He did seem uneasy with entry speed into the faster corners, just a matter of learning the track :)

But on the Nurburgring they have nice closed trackdays, I'll be there in a few weeks. Much safer than tourist driving with many slow cars.
Amazes me how you can watch a thousand videos on one topic and still stumble across a great one you've never seen from 8 years ago lol. Nice drive. :)
Merv Thanks! Certainly feels ages ago now, miss that car
Great Vid - that Focus really pulls out of the corners.
Getting shades on at 190 km/h ... that's the coolest shit i'll ever see !
have driven and own both makes - Im so proud ! they are both excellent cars
depending on where and when you pick which one for what purposes...
@cab1eguy its a forge diverter valve recircd into the intake. Not too loud :)
ik heb die focus daar ook al gezien :) da spel gaat wel bangelijk goed!! ik kan maar niet geloven hoe snel ge met uwe volvo bent..Respekt man!! see you den 23e @ NS :)
nice driving mate, no one passed ya
wow man! 13 years ago but jesus you can drive that thing!!
If the track surface is warm enough, I think the R888's usually work really well even when they have almost no tread left at all. Just have to get a bit of heat into them.
Wow what an awesome video, battle of the 5 cylinders 😆
great driving and sound!!
@JCviggen1 thank u very much.other questions now cause I'M REALLY looking forward to upgrade my old beauty .can I have a good and fast going 850 that doesn't crashes every time it see's a corner for about 10000euro?and have you chaged the camshafts in your car when yes witch one is it and will it fit on an 2.5 I don't think but you never know...thanks a lot

Very lovely of yours vidéos !!! a pleasure to meet you around the ring.
Sounds like a 850 touring car in heyday ! Great driving
is it a Junkers Ju87 engine you got there?xD
Brzeczyszczykiewicz hahahahah damn dude, that's an amazing sound

Great vid as always :-) What diverter valve are you using? I can barely make it out in the vid - is it nice and quiet?
@JCviggen1 @JCviggen1 thanks for your answer jc. What mods are you exactly in your t5r engine ? How many turbo pressure on the ring ?
Very lovely of yours vidéos !!! a pleasure to meet you around the ring.
What suspension set up you running? it handles so flat!
Putting sunglasses on at 119 mph like a boss lol nice vid and nice car :D
Gotta love 5 cylinder sound !!!
850 with Engine upgrades, Suspension & brakes sorted ready for " The Ring " =
Now there's an idea :D
thank y very much for your answer .I got fiew other questions now cause I m really looking forward to upgrade my old beauty.can I have a good and fast going 850 for about 10.000 euro that doesn't crashes every time itt see's a corner lol.and did you changed the camshafts in your car when yes witch ones and will they fit in my 2.5 L I don't think but you never know ...thanks a lot

which brakes do you have?
Great video and great car ;)
Any BBK will do good really, certainly if you add race pads like these. But they also cost a lot. IIRC I paid around 190 eur for a set of these pads. The S60R front calipers don't really fit the 850/x70, needs a very weird adapter to work. Porsche kits or other brembo based will do fine.
focus rs is also a volvo engine right?

Thanks for your answer,and Volvo powaaa !!!
Hur lägger du upp hastighetsmätare?
Vi vill se mer krut i bilen till nästa gång! :D
Cool! How much did the whole thing cost to build (only parts, without labor)?
What type of coilovers to you use?
@bakaenkaaka no, what you are hearing is the tire sound from R888's they are loud as hell! But the sound is similar :)
What kind of suspension set up do you have? Have changed other things exclude shocks and sway bars?
great awesome technical driving!
I didn't watch the whole vid and I haven't seen your other vids, but what's the speed upon flooring on this 850? Limiter removed?
Thank u for your answer ?little question what s an ECU .sorry I m an amateur.and how much did you invest in your t-5.thanks a lot
@JCViggen1 Are you using a quick steering rack? If so where did you get it?
My 850 is in Italie ...can u please tell me which gearbox you got in your t-5 or did u just changed the clutch ?
What is that jet engine noise at 2:03?
You're the king on the track! :D
Sounds great inside!
Wishing I had kept my old red 850R Sedan :(
nice driving!
Hello, what year is you 850?any pics of your car? web site? awesome driving by the way!thanks fellow '95 turbo owner...
@wernerdeluxe merci :D focus had semis, coilovers en rolkooi en natuurlijk extra pks hij kende enkel de baan nog niet 100% denk ik. 23 aug nurburgring trackday fyi!

Hey JCviggen1, which brakes are mounted on your Volvo?
great 850 and quality drivin'
Other question are you using no-turbo 850 camshafts because there more aggressif than the original 850-turbo camshafts ?
@1peugeot306 it's all right but ideally on the 15G you want to do around 1.0 bar. This way it won't blow itself to death before it hits 4500rpm and you have more power left at 5500.
I use a custom V-band 3" downpipe with a GT2871R turbo (and a V-band wastegate)
Lovely video.
Is it the wagon one?
amazing video
Putting on Glasses at 200kmh, like a boss.
Nice run. Both car running on T5 :-)
@JCviggen1 ...5-Cylinder, all right, hold tight, I´m a green hell-star!!! Congrats, Top-850, and top-drive!!!
which 10v car?
bhp?
putting on sunglasses @ 190 kph epic skill man !!!
you re a superb driver!I got an 850 to but it's an 2.5 20v do you think i can put the same turbo on it as yours ? thanks
Go get a 2.3l turbo. Putting a turbo on the 2.5l could kill it. The bore is bigger, so Material inbetween cylinders is thinner. So they will be more sensitive to heat and maybe won't last long.

That looks like so much fun! wish i could take my 940 turbo there. too bad i live in ohio!
@sebas242 I'm not exactly sure but it's probably in the 360-370 region somewhere :)
stock transmission?
Well done mister!!!
Volvo power!!
Your car is the best!
