[Marcosino007]

[HeavyMetaldude500]

[JCviggen1]

@HeavyMetaldude500 FWD

[fordf1502]

i like your videos dude i have a T6 Xc90. man you were passing them like they were standing still.

[meppe94]

It crushes my heart to look! :( Love volvo 850 t5

[bad8076]

is the bent rod was stock?

[JCviggen1]

@bad8076 rods were stock but not bent. It were the conrod bearings on 2 cyls that got oil starved :(

[bad8076]

..r u using the stock rod?

tq.

[CommanderB9488]

Awesome clip! I wish I could take my GTI 1.8T up there one day for a lap after I get some work done. I don't wish to go crazy HP as it is FWD, but work on suspension, tires, and cooling (oil,tranny,FMIC). When I win the lotto I guess...LOL.

[sitapea1980]

Great videos, mate!

I wish to make it on the Green Hell eventually with my S40 T4, too.

But still needs lot's of work.

[Spongebob2028]

Nice Car , Nice HP

Will you Repair the Engine or its still reparied?

[JCviggen1]

@Spongebob2028 Already repaired and much faster now ;) check newer vids!

[eamh2002]

@JCviggen1

And WHY did they oil-starve? :o

[JCviggen1]

@eamh2002 combination of semi slick tires, a long corner, high revs and the oil level not being on max...

[eamh2002]

@JCviggen1

Okay, thanks for a VERY quick reply :)

[benkerr69]

hey i have a 1994 volvo 850 N/A do you know what kind of work i need to do to switch it from N/A to turbo?? Such as do i need to do any work to the engine or the trans i already have a good idea of what i need to do just to the full idea any help would be great thanks

[JCviggen1]

You'd need to change engine, ECU and all of the engine wiring. To be honest it would seem easier and cheaper to swap to a turbo 850...they dont cost much anymore. But it can be done and has been done to turn an NA into a turbo :)

[Spongebob2028]

Why you marked my Text as Spam?

[dergangedchipmunk]

i hate the go slow people..... ruin it for the people that use a RACE track to RACE getting stuck behind them

[devo4g63]

Awesome car, my 850T5 also did a Conrod bearing at high revs, going around some really fast corners :-( The only good thing, is that my wife was driving when it happened, so now I have an excuse to rebuild it, the way I want it ;-)

[FpAbNutty]

My questoin is.. it seems like everyone else there is just REALLY slow... Whats that about?

[JCviggen1]

Everyone is free to go at their own speed, you only encounter the slow ones most of the time. Anyone who is within 30 seconds of your time you are unlikely to meet on the track because it takes maybe 10 seconds between cars going through the gates.

[SamS70T5]

Sick driving Jan. Looks like you're a very skilled rider. Wish i culd handle my cars like that ;-)

[JCviggen1]

Thanks Sam! The video doesnt quite do it justice from how it feels in the car, feel free to come over to the ring some time :) Would be cool

[olejokk]

in the movie do you have 120 hp mor then stander 240? you can get mor if you whant volvo is a good car an the enegi can you use chip og biger turbo:D:D

[olejokk]

hehe good car is¨n it? 240 hp is good on norwegian road:P 300 km h is stander max speed and in tour is it?

[olejokk]

i m going to bay a 850 T5-R now:D:D:D is you 850 T5-R orginal  JCviggen1?

[JCviggen1]

It has quite a few modifications to it ;-) 120 HP more than standard, KW suspension, AP brakes and the standard seats have been removed to lose weight

[greaper55]

this is fucking sick. who ever is driving is a boss

[Fr4nkWh1te]

nice 850 m8! sorry about the damage - but maybe a reason to get some nice, new and better components now that the engine is open anyway ;)

[colinshark]

Awesome car and driving. Too bad about the motor. Get it back up and running soon!

[rafaelhelf]

oooooh shit! awesome!

[DefiantIndustries]

Cracking car, is it just me or does it sound just like a Ju 87 at high speed? :-)

Shame about the damage, look forward to seeing it up and running again!

[my600cc]

Sorry to hear / see about the car damage. Hope it all goes well when you start repairing it.

[JCviggen1]

Sure there'll be new vids before long ;-)

[spearmarine]

Heartfelt sorry mate, that is one superb 850, hope to see it again on the ring soon

[JCviggen1]

Cheers m8 shouldn't take too long!

[cab1eguy]

Nice car, hope to see her back soon! Just 1 Q if you don't mind - how did you get your motor to drop the revs so quick between gear changes? On every 850 and Motronic 4.4 V70 I've driven the ICV loves to keep the revs hanging between changes making the kinda cog swaps you're demonstrating here impossible. I thought you might've unplugged the ICV but I can't see the O2 light on your dash! :-P

[JCviggen1]

It doesn't drop too quick actually, not at all in fact. It's just dropping quick when the clutch comes in after a shift, that pulls it down. After the damage occurred the revs dropped quick though because of internal friction :s

[VOLFLO]

JC, i rarely feel envy....but this time, my friend..oh lord. That thing screams like Darth Vader's grocery getter. Soccer Moms better stay away from this neat looking devil. ;-)

Such a pity it broke.

But the way it pulls in second gear is just staggering. Out of Karussell for instance.

Are you sure it didnt lean out befor it broke?..also the kind of revs you had werent that high in 3rd gear at Schwalbenschwanz. So maybe it was rodfailure in the end...Again: what a pity..
