[s70glt100]

ill trade you my bad ass glt turbo and down pipe...

[s70glt100]

you wana sell me your t5 turbo and down pipe?

[girtygrin]

No thanks, I've kept all of the original parts in case I decide to return it to stock if I ever sell it.

[s70glt100]

What is the difference engine wise between S70 GLT And S70 T5?

[girtygrin]

About 50 horsepower. The GLT stock has around 190hp while the T5 has 236. Mine has considerable modifications done to it though (16G turbo swap, 3.5" exhaust, cold air intake, new injectors, fuel pump, port and polished intake runners, etc" and just over 300HP so it cranks along a tad faster then a standard T5.

[Jimmagnusson]

@girtygrin Glt- 170hp, 2,5t 193hp and t5 236hp.

[girtygrin]

@Jimmagnusson In the USA the one labled as the GLT only came with the 190hp low pressure turbo engine, the T5 only came with the 236 high pressure turbo engine. The 168HP non turbo engine only came in the base and SE models.

[NorkiddExo]

You know a n/a 20V 2.5 can be tuned to about 200 hp relatively easily (Or 250+ if you've got big bucks).

[NorkiddExo]

Easy way 200hp; all the external stuff including ecu map, full exhaust, short ram cold intake with foglight ram pipes, port & polish, oversize injectors, lighter and stronger rods, shaved head, balanced crank, HC pistons, HP pumps (Oil/ fuel) and modded VVIS amoungst others.

[NorkiddExo]

Hard way and alot of cash = Seriously who would do this though, go turbo right? Theres a few with this done, look for a red one on you tube, its got I think 260 or something.

[e30Michal]

haha you sound like the joker in the dark knight :D

[edub234]

the t5 came to the US, the t5R didn't. it is a 2.3 hpt

[volvo23t]

The T5-R came to the US in 1995.

[edub234]

yes, in '95 the 850T5-R did. the S70T5-R never meade it to U.S. shores

[cygan2002]

is it 2.5t version? i guess t5 never came to US did they?

[girtygrin]

Its a T5, they did release them in the US but they were notoriously hard to find in a manual so sadly mine is an automatic.

[cygan2002]

Heh... t5 is brilliant but the insurance is more expensive than 2.5T. Riddiculus!

You've got a great car man! Still an automatic gearbox pulls better than most of them sports cars out there ;p

I'm getting 2.5t this week! I'm overexcited! ;p

[krewrules]
