Niggas, its all on how you drive, plus the 56H swap reduces drivetrain loss so you gain some from that alone (along with shorter gears, its possible to get mid 14s on a stock 5 speed 850R with 240hp.
this car is mostly stock..my auto 850 turbo runs a good 15.2 with a EST intanke..switching to manual will increase better times..plus this car Is the R model wich had more then the turbo..the time looks accurate,, if you put on more mods this would do nice 13's easily..with the right boost, and launch, you'll get there in the low 13's
What transmission do people tend to use when swapping an 850 T5? Will the stock trans from the naturally aspirated 850 hold up to the torque of the T5? Just wondering...
Nice 850R by the way; I'm hoping to get myself into a T5 soon, then swap a manual into it, and slowly transform it into a nice little sleeper ;)
@TwiztedTurbo still have the time slips from 2003, next best run that same day 14.30 96.12 temp F=47. After chip intake and exhaust 18 psi 13.355 104.57 was the best this car ever ran, then got rid of it.
@TwiztedTurbo keep googling until your fingers bleed, Im sorry you must have got worse times with your own car, maybe yours was a dud from the factory, or maybe your car just needed a driver modification. The figures your presenting appear to have came from some website albeedigital and the numbers they claim are absurd, they even claim the base turbo model to run as fast as the R model.. very reliable figures!
@ImAboostaholic Dude your a clown.Look on VOLVOSPEED forums and claim to run the times you are lying about and get schooled by everyone with more knowledge than yourself.
You moron the R only has 18 bhp more than the ragular T5.So your saying that enough to be a second faster? LMFAO !! IDIOT !! I have been involve with modding and racing VOLVO's for over ten years.Way before your clown ass claimed to have one.
@boxpin Maybe you are confused like most on VS are.Im saying theres no way a stock 850 R with 18 more bhp than a regular 850 T5 runs low 14s.Even gutted out with a 5 sp. swap its not possible for a 3400lb car with 240bhp to run low 14's.
And if your car only ran 15.0 with a tune I feel really bad for you.
@ImAboostaholic I dont need to google.Its called facts.The 850 R has 240 bhp and weighs around 3400lbs give or take.Nowhere near enough hp to run low 14's in that car noob.
Please do some reasearch based on facts before you spew anymore bullshit.
O and BTW my 850 T5 would own anything you have ever driver fanboy. :)
@TwiztedTurbo Whatever dude, until you can produce the video of you pulling that off your blowing smoke. Just because your friend has a faster car than you do and you feel like your close to him its a whole different world on the track.
@boxpin lmfao !! Ive already ran bttr than you @ the track on stock 15g turbo.I dont have anything to prove to you douchebag.You're shits slow and you know it so does everyone else !!!!
@boxpin Theres several videos of me running 12 sec. MUSTANGS as well as beating a mid 13 sec 06 GT with bolt ons when I had a POS used fuel pump and my car wasnt running right.Another video of me running a 12 sec GT that gave me 1 car and never passed me byt the 1/4 mile mark.So no,Im not blwoing any smoke.You're just mad you're car sucks with way more work than mine.I would blow you're doors off any day of the week.

1996 Volvo 850 R 6.9 15.3
Thats what a stock 850 R really runs.Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
All one had to do is GOOGLE 850 R 1/4 mile time

sweet car, and even sweeter time! good job.
for the non-believers, my 850R 5-speed (from the factory) ran a 14.5 stock, not far from these numbers.

The volvo 850 did not have 14-15 psi. They only have 9-12psi stock i own a 94 and i checked all the specs

Dude I work on VOLVO'S and tune them and there is no way that car runs those times with stock boost buddy.
TwiztedTurbo 2 years ago
well i guess somethings up with the car then, i wish to get some upgrade,, wat did you run on yours? nice car by the way! really nice
maliy1990 2 years ago
I think yours might have a IPD ECU upgrade.
Otherwise SPEEDTUNING is the cheapest place to get the ECU re-programmed and the STAGE 2 tune takes it to 17psi.

Thats def. not stock buddy.Stock 850 R runs low 15's,high 14's.
You either have a chip or MBC turned up to about 17psi.

All stock buddy!,, i just swapped to manual, i did 14.8 automatic. it depends how you run your car
maliy1990 2 years ago
@TwiztedTurbo Hi, I ran my old 850R once before any upgrades- best 14.21 @ 97.6521 bone stock.

I am a VS member. My wagon ran a 15.0 on a 15G with an IPD stage 1 ecu and an automatic.
Today it runs 13's on the same ECU but with an 18T at 18psi and slicks. I think its do-able with a manual and traction.
