Welcome to MVS.
Not only does it not fit, you would have to change the engine management system (computer). Sorry, but you're stuck with an in-line 5 engine. However, I have seen where someone put a 4 cylinder in and made it RWD...but that's very costly and takes an extreme amount of labor.

Thanks mate..

Is engine block too wide, or why?

Yes, too wide towards the fender (not much room there anyway w/ a 5 cylinder).

Yeah I'm pretty sure the T6 won't work......but on the otherhand here are a couple options

1. It is possible to change out motors to either an hpt or lpt
2. or buy a car with a turbo

i have an NA also so i understand you pain and why you feel the need for speed

good luck!

I allready have a turbo,but its a bit powerless.. You know what i mean.

That means that i just have to find another way.. I hopeing to get 200-250KW..142KW is just not enough..

Either upgrade to a v70r or just mod out the engine you have now then

V70R doesnt have enough power..

I think that i need to buy new turbo and upgrade ECU.

Or keep it stock, and buy 960 or 760, and fitt the T6 engine in there..Lets see..

why dont you just buy a car with the t6 in it already and save yourself the hassle?

Welcome Fellah! Please keep us updated on this project if you decide to do it.
If you can do something like this, you're probably a very Volvo knowledgeable guy and a valuable resource for us all. Thank you.
(Also, send us some cool pics of Finland!)
