Det er ikke noe som heter for lite innpress.

Beklager. For lav innpressverdi ifølge produsentens spesifikasjoner.

Det beste med den V70'n der er at den er SFRO-godkjent

Splitfelger skal ha blank ytterleppe forresten, det er fasit. Nå legger vi den død. *pekefinger*

Jepp Og at den ser 100% orginal ut utvendi ^^

Is that a transverse V8?...

V8 from a XC90

[Christian]

Most likely from an S80.

Den motoren står jo feil vei....

Sikkert kosejobb å bytte plugger på den der..

V8 from a XC90

Ooooooooh, I feel a new direction coming with mine at some point. I've always loved the sound of a V8, wonder what it'd go like on twin turbos and if the standard R gearbox would take the strain (or even bolt upto it.)

I might actually be able to help you there, if you're serious about it. My uncle runs endurance races with his 850, and has basically everything set up around the engine to drop in a Yamaha V8 from an S80, except for the engine itself. Including a manual gearbox.

However, it is NOT a plug&play-adventure you're about to take on. The engine will have to be mounted transversely, with custom mounts, exhaust, coolant, fuel and oil lines, not to mention a pretty huge wiring job. The V8s were never delivered with a manual, so some custom parts will have to be sourced like the clutch and flywheel pack.

But it is possible. Its actually shorter than the straight five in your car today, its front and rear space thats the issue. I dont think a typically mounted twinturbo setup will fit, as theres little enough space between the engine and radiator as is... so something clever will have to be made.

I say go. You have my full support. Alternatively, you could just rip out the back seat, put the engine there with the transaxle going straight down to the rear axle through some kind of a gearbox, and make (as far as I know) the worlds first and only mid engined,

Sir.. I like the way you think,lol.. It's something I'd seriously love to do but I'd need to get hold of a donor engine first for sensible money, hell I'd even be willing to run it standard for a while. I'd mount it transversely anyway as there would be way to much work involved in turning it around to run the rear wheels (without dropping it in the back as you mentioned,lol). Doubt it's going to happen in the immediate future but it's certainly something to have good think about and to try and find some work arounds for the gearbox etc. Personally I've nothing against lengthening the front just a little to get it to fit in.

[mrstfu]

Alternatively, so that you dont fuck up the cars looks, you could move the cooling pack forwards. I think there is a few inches of room up to the bumper. Will be a hell of a lot easier than lengthening the entire car for sure.

As I said, I'm pretty sure it will drop in no issue as standard, and having a custom exhaust manifold made to feed the turbin on the front side (left side if seen as an

RWD

engine) is a minor issue compared to lengthening the front.

Now, for the much more interesting part. Exhaust. You wont have room under your car to run two pipes in addidtion to the transaxle for the rear wheels (your R is an

AWD

, right? if not, that makes it easier), so most likely you'll have to make two 4-2-1 manifolds, entirely custom ofc, and merge those two at the back after the turbos, into one single 3" or more. Or you could cut the floor up and make new exhaust canals, or do a sidepipe behind the front wheels, or straigt pipes up through the hood...

SO many ways to do this, legal or not:-)

[Tomcat]

Yeah I'm in the UK so although we still have lots of rules to follow they're not as bad as those you have over there. My cars a 2wd so no awd system to get in the way, alternatively... I was thinking last night that I could just rip the whole lot out of the Xc and use the awd system and autobox, it would make fitting it easier though I dont know how much of the Xc's awd system would mate up to the R. This is all by the by though because I'd still need to track a damaged one down first to use as a donor vehicle.

[mrstfu]

It will fit, no real issues. Ofc, its a lot of work, but the only thing thats not bolt on, is a couple of brackets on the rear axle fitting. Theres a few people here whos done it (V70 or 850

AWD

drivetrain onto 855s and 854), so it is definitely possible. Remember to get the exhaust system too, as it takes a nasty bend to get around the transaxle, an

FWD

downpipe wont fit.

Tøft, men kjip kvalitet på bildene da!

[ovlov86]

Digger fargen!

V8'en fra S60 løpsbilen som Polestar har trimma er ganske porno.

[ellingsøyern]

de fleste vil nok mene denne er stygg men dette er fan meg rått!!!!!

[jabbajohn]

Meeeeeget spesiell.... hadde der vært originale lykter eller USA lykter hadde den vært råå :P

[Christian]

Den Golf fronten funker ikke for meg (hvertfall ikke med orginal grill), med en annen front trur jeg den hadde vært rå! (-ere?)

Nesten værre med de stygge felga
