Re: Volvo v90 Performance Tuning

I know it is an old topic by now, but... The 3 Liter B6 is not the most powerful 3 Liter, 6 cylinder, N/A engine out there. The manual swap is not as easy as it seems. In your place, i would swap the 4-speed Aisin for some newer, more modern 6-speed. Only thereafter, if it is not enough power for yo...

Re: 1998 V90 Spark plug question(which ones)

Hey, people! I have changed the spark plugs. They look like in the picture. A neighbor said that the engine seems to run rather lean and the cause for it might be the fuel filter. What do you say about it? https://sun9-6.userapi.com/impg/7QkB9e_hC8Uo-59nA8eaBF7n_UPacLzQDKzWuQ/jRx1wzXaQtk.jpg?size=12...

Re: 1998 V90 Spark plug question(which ones)

Well the higher price is a kit so slightly over 10EUR piece. I am cheap and on 850 i recently went on cheapest Denso K20TT spark plugs. Technically slightly incorrect gap. But my problems of not starting in the end was at distributor being "gone" and rotary too inside it. My weared spark ...

1998 V90 Spark plug question(which ones)

Hello there. My engine vibrates unevenly when under 1000 RPM and am thinking of changing the spark plugs. But, there are many different spark plugs, first and foremost different by price. Some cost 4 euros per piece, others, like the OEM, cost 40. In my manual it says that i should get for normal us...

Re: Need advise on purchasing an S60(either 2.4 or 2.5T)

The answer depends on your priorities. If you are looking to reliability and lower cost (initial and maintenance) then go with 2.4 NA (no turbo) and FWD. If you want more performance (but its still an old Volvo) then go with 2.5T and AWD. Personally thus far I've always bought 2.4 NA with FWD becau...

Re: Need advise on purchasing an S60(either 2.4 or 2.5T)

Hey, June. Both cars are sold by dealers, the 2.5T though has also been maintained by this specific dealer the last six years and the last 40k kilometers. The naturally aspirated one is also fully serviced, but by different shop. As for the V70Rs, am thinking the same, most just have fun with them a...

Need advise on purchasing an S60(either 2.4 or 2.5T)

Good day to you, people! I need your advise on purchasing a neat S60. First choice was an S60R. But they are either too expensive, or just expensive and in shape that doesnt reflect their price + lots of miles and i dont know how expensive could it get to fix any issues related to the 2.5T engine an...
