Nurburgring 22 may - Volvo 850 chasing Focus RS.

[TheVolvo4me]

Это был Стиг :)

[Blowoffmeister]

.......well done !!!

[e21cjn]

have driven and own both makes - Im so proud ! they are both excellent cars

depending on where and when you pick which one for what purposes...

[e21cjn]

Driving that Volvo is like riding on a Lion back once you can tame him he's yours while Ford is like a Zebra ...has anyone seen a tamed Zebra lately ? ha ha ( I own both cars so this is what I found...) Good driving skill tho I'd say you're a bit better than schumacher lol (don't take it personal tho guys...)

[KarlisKristaps]

Nice driving and car. Was really fun to watch you pass everybody and chase that Ford.

[Marius7ss]

IS THAT A VOLVO? YOU HAVE A JET IN YOUR TRUNK RIGHT LOL

[bakaenkaaka]

Sounds like straight cut gears, true ?

[JCviggen1]

@bakaenkaaka no, what you are hearing is the tire sound from R888's they are loud as hell! But the sound is similar :)

[bakaenkaaka]

@JCviggen1 Oh ok, in that case they are reaaaally loud :)

[crosswick]

Too bad that that Focus had the same engine, right? :-)

[MRJARDIM]

@crosswick somewhat

[PokerJokerSince2000]

@crosswick

Hehe, the focus has the volvo engine with a ford tweak,

why bother racing the car you lend the engine from ;)

The Focus is just holding the volvo up ...

(Mainly because he drives like schumacher xD)

[AnyColourTheyLike]

I would be scared if i see you in my mirrors :-)

[iisnocookie]

hand on heart i was buzzing watching this ive just bought my first ever 850 t5 and well pleased i just keep seeing evidence of how good they are these cars dont always get the rep they deserve and that sucks but i love the fact you can upset the jap boys with this beast of a car cant wait to start tuning mine VIVA LA VOLVO :)

[bad8076]

[JCviggen1]

@bad8076 Yep, never had any problems with them.

[SniperLine99]

[filipemasa]

[iiocke]

thats it.. i need a 5-cylinder again

[adribossnikokamp]

My 850 is in Italie ...can u please tell me which gearbox you got in your t-5 or did u just changed the clutch ?

[adribossnikokamp]

Yeah your not the only one who s got his car in an other country ...m'y

[adribossnikokamp]

Other question are you using no-turbo 850 camshafts because there more aggressif than the original 850-turbo camshafts ?

[adribossnikokamp]

Thanks so u want to sale your car ???why ? Where is your car now ?maybe you can sale ma some parts ? But maybe ...thanks a lo

[JCviggen1]

@adribossnikokamp car is in holland right now. I have no time to drive it, max 1 or 2 times per year since i live in another country now

[adribossnikokamp]

Sorry for the 3 messages ...

[adribossnikokamp]

Sorry for the 3 messages ...

[adribossnikokamp]

thank y very much for your answer .I got fiew other questions now cause I m really looking forward to upgrade my old beauty.can I have a good and fast going 850 for about 10.000 euro that doesn't crashes every time itt see's a corner lol.and did you changed the camshafts in your car when yes witch ones and will they fit in my 2.5 L I don't think but you never know ...thanks a lot

[JCviggen1]

@adribossnikokamp Yes you can do it with 10K euro.... my T-5R is for sale for just under 10K. You could transfer everything to your car and be finished. I am using camshafts from 850 without turbo, so the same cams you are using now.

[adribossnikokamp]

Thank u for your answer ?little question what s an ECU .sorry I m an amateur.and how much did you invest in your t-5.thanks a lot

[JCviggen1]

@adribossnikokamp ECU means engine control unit. The engine computer. How much I dont want to remember haha...maybe 20.000 euro for everything over the years

[adribossnikokamp]

@JCviggen1 thank u very much.other questions now cause I'M REALLY looking forward to upgrade my old beauty .can I have a good and fast going 850 that doesn't crashes every time it see's a corner for about 10000euro?and have you chaged the camshafts in your car when yes witch one is it and will it fit on an 2.5 I don't think but you never know...thanks a lot

[adribossnikokamp]

@JCviggen1 hank y very much for your answer .I got fiew other questions now cause I m really looking forward to upgrade my old beauty.can I have a good and fast going 850 for about 10.000 euro that doesn't crashes every time itt see's a corner lol.and did you changed the camshafts in your car when yes witch ones and will they fit in my 2.5 L I don't think but you never know ...thanks a lot

[adribossnikokamp]

you re a superb driver!I got an 850 to but it's an 2.5 20v do you think i can put the same turbo on it as yours ? thanks

[JCviggen1]

@adribossnikokamp You would have to change the ECU and modify the engine, but everything is possible. Easier is transplant a T-5 engine....or better yet buy a car with T-5 in it they are not expensive these days!

[jamlarna]

nice vid ! wish the weather was that good when i went there 3 years ago, my m8 crashed out cos it was pissing down  ! but a good vid and good dabble you had . keep um coming !

[MackQuack]

You're the king on the track! :D

[blammo7100]

looks like someone can really really drive! Quick car too

[angelkar00]

which brakes do you have?

Great video and great car ;)

[JCviggen1]

@angelkar00 AP racing big brake kit with Pagid RS-15 pads

[1peugeot306]

Hey loving the car, What turbo exhaust and downpipe do you have? im currently running a remapped 850 T5 with the stock 15g turbo but my turbo guage reads 1.3 bar is this a bad thing?

[JCviggen1]

@1peugeot306 it's all right but ideally on the 15G you want to do around 1.0 bar. This way it won't blow itself to death before it hits 4500rpm and you have more power left at 5500.

I use a custom V-band 3" downpipe with a GT2871R turbo (and a V-band wastegate)

[JCviggen1]

thanks! Sounds like a nice plan, I am using the standard fuel rail, its fine until 450hp or so. The 19T will limit you to about 350, FT will handle it :)

[SoLoM3K]

@JCviggen1 thanks for your answer jc. What mods are you exactly in your t5r engine ? How many turbo pressure on the ring ?

Very lovely of yours vidéos !!! a pleasure to meet you around the ring.

[JCviggen1]

@SoLoM3K 1.3-1.4 bar usually, maybe 380hp. Too many mods to list here m8 find me on volvospeed forums or something ;-)

[SoLoM3K]

@JCviggen1 @JCviggen1 thanks for your answer jc. What mods are you exactly in your t5r engine ? How many turbo pressure on the ring ?

Very lovely of yours vidéos !!! a pleasure to meet you around the ring.

[SoLoM3K]

Nice vidéo JC ! I am ringer too,and i making a 850R with 19T and other parts (S60 R manifold,injectors 470cc,kw V2,etc...).In january,i go to Fasttech Holland for the mapping.On your car,have you change the fuel rail ? (i would like buy a Nuke performance,but is it really necessary ?^^).

Thanks for your answer,and Volvo powaaa !!!

[rlawlsgh]

What kind of suspension set up do you have? Have changed other things exclude shocks and sway bars?

[JCviggen1]

@rlawlsgh KW V2 coilovers the rest is pretty stock

[redvitoxxx]

JC, hope to see you next year on nurburgring, drinks are on us,

nurburgring team Croatia :)

[redvitoxxx]

JC, nice bloke is friend of mine, last year we were 2nd time on nurburgring, next year he will be much faster :)

here is record of our track Grobnik in Croatia, he is curently fastest (car is now improved, on ring he had some problems with car, and this friday we go again on grobnik for new record attack).

video is bad, this friday new camera setup :)

i hope we see you next year on Ring, drinks are on us ;)

cheers m8,great volvo drive

[JCviggen1]

@redvitoxxx That's cool! He did seem uneasy with entry speed into the faster corners, just a matter of learning the track :)

My volvo no longer has license plates on it :( In Belgium the regulations are really difficult, all mods are illegal....so now its only a track car. No more TF :(

But on the Nurburgring they have nice closed trackdays, I'll be there in a few weeks. Much safer than tourist driving with many slow cars.

[MrTR500]

fucking top class driving 5/5 vid

[bad8076]

you put on the sunglasses at 190km/h...padayappa!!!!

[SessionR]

I didn't watch the whole vid and I haven't seen your other vids, but what's the speed upon flooring on this 850? Limiter removed?

[JCviggen1]

@SessionR there is no speed limiter, but I have a shorter final ratio in the gearbox which will limit the car to around 270 km/h at 7200rpm in 5th.

[sugarisgoodness]

I love you, JCviggen.

[scaleopdriver]

You make us other volvo owner proud!! You overtake 911's, skylines, m3's, evo's! All hail the volvo and the 850 T5!!

[Nfs4ever12]

you sir, ARE A VERY GOOD DRIVER! ;) respect.!

[StockHatchRacing]

A cock in an Audi getting in the way - quelle suprise..

Great vid - 5 cylinders all the way!

[JJMetalMad999]

Im super impressed with your volvo! Not the usual weapon of choice but it f*****g fly's!

[wernerdeluxe]

ik heb die focus daar ook al gezien :) da spel gaat wel bangelijk goed!! ik kan maar niet geloven hoe snel ge met uwe volvo bent..Respekt man!! see you den 23e @ NS :)

[wernerdeluxe]

[JCviggen1]

@wernerdeluxe merci :D focus had semis, coilovers en rolkooi en natuurlijk extra pks hij kende enkel de baan nog niet 100% denk ik. 23 aug nurburgring trackday fyi!

[yamahaevo]

Hur lägger du upp hastighetsmätare?

Vi vill se mer krut i bilen till nästa gång! :D

[JCviggen1]

@yamahaevo sorry swedish is not my strong suit!

[yamahaevo]

@yamahaevo How did you get the speedometer?

We want to se more power in you 850 next time! :)

[TheSwed]

Niice vid.....great driving, keep it coming!

[superben2000]

Great Vid - that Focus really pulls out of the corners.

[cab1eguy]

Great vid as always :-) What diverter valve are you using? I can barely make it out in the vid - is it nice and quiet?

[JCviggen1]

@cab1eguy its a forge diverter valve recircd into the intake. Not too loud :)

[sebas242]

With the setting of 1.3 bar on the turbcompresor, how many horsepower does the 850 offers? I've seen all your videos and they're fantastic, continue with them! ;)

[JCviggen1]

@sebas242 I'm not exactly sure but it's probably in the 360-370 region somewhere :)

[DeanS40]

Putting your sunglasses on at 190kph? That 's a little.... I don't know... hahahah

Nice lap JC

[baka86]

@DeanS40 exactly what I was thinking @_@. That made me nervous even though I knew the video was a lot longer, I was like "shit hope he doesn't fuck up".

[y2turbo]

I love your Videos JC ... thanks for sharing them

[BlackV40]

nice! Heb een paar schoon dinge kunnen zien (qua) lijnen die ik echt moet onthouden! Wel cool, op sommige stukken lijk ik dezelfde snelheden te halen :-p hehehe (glunder glunder) Al zou ik zo nooit ni durve te rijde met ne FWD. In't begin snijdt ge een paar keer de bocht af, geeft da geen probleme met het onderstel? Is da ni riskant? Ik ga richt curbstones, ma ik ga er zeker ni op.

[JCviggen1]

Sommige kerbs kan je nemen, de meeste moet je afblijven ;-)

Qua snelheden, weergegeven snelheid is GPS dus lager dan de teller, en hier en daar valt ie wel eventjes half weg. Ik denk dat in de realiteit de snelheden in de 850 wel een heel stuk hoger zullen liggen, zonder semi slicks en met minder vermogen ligt het toch wel ver uit elkaar behalve dan in de heel trage bochten natuurlijk.

Maar als je voorbeelden hebt van bepaalde "stukken" wil ik't wel even checken :)

[BlackV40]

@JCviggen1 dan ben ik is fier over de snelheid 8-) hehe Welke stukken, ik ken het daar ni echt :-D Moet maar is meerijden, wil er toch wa geregelder komen, dus als ge is zou gaan late ma iets weten ;-)

Greetz

T

[JCviggen1]

@BlackV40 komt in orde! :)

[charlieflint]

Never get tired of watching your vids, you know the 'ring so well and your completely at one with your 850 :-)

Nice little bit of cut and thrust with the Focus ST aswell! two 2WD motors dominating everything else on the circuit, no surprise there then ;-)

Top notch, keep 'em coming!!!

[manfromswe]

I really like your video and youre car ! my volvo 850 t5 turbo broken this day 22 may on streetrace so no wi need to get a new turbo =/

[96t5wagon]

love your vids JC

[spearmarine]

Step aside Renault Sport thing, Volvo coming through. You are fast becoming a cult figure nice vid, again

[nanth85]
