I took the V60 to the dyno and it's pushing WAY more power than I expected...

Volvo lists the power from factory as 345 horsepower and 369 pound feet of torque. Mine did WAY more than that at 313whp/395wtq. With even 12% parasitic losses (which is very low for AWD cars), that would put my car at 355 crank horsepower and 448 crank pound feet of torque. This is bananas!
I love seeing people go through all the things i did when i first got my Pstar. After SOOO much testing and trying different things my last HP #'s were 373WHP and 492WTQ. Im currently working on trying to go much bigger turbo to avoid all that instant power down low which is very hard on the Transmission.
Please report back with how that goes! I'm interested to upgrade the turbo eventually, maybe next year.
Same! I have a Stage 2 (Hilton) 2016 RD 3.0 (poor man's P*) - 356 whp, 539wtq, the power is outrageous, and I have purchased additional cooling equipment for the transmission (similar to "builtforspeed"s YT channel). Good luck with the sourcing and let us know how it goes!
@@daviddawkins2392 I have my 16 P* with full bolt on and Hilton’s 2.5 tune all I know is that launch’s spin all 4 wheels need to get on a dunk asap
@@dylanpeck7902 Much envy!
The polestar version has a larger turbo than the R-design. Have you maxed out the psi on the Polestar turbo?
Really enjoy your V60 Polestar series.
Thanks so much Erin! Lots more to come so stay tuned.
Volvo's have always been powerful. We got a 2017 D5 PHEV and it's a really enjoyable drive at all speeds. If you need to overtake, you can do it. I'd love to get a stage 1 tune, cause the gains are supposed to be amazing without any modification required.
Great video. Once you start modding it you will be very happy driving that car. It'll want to break tires loose every corner you gas it. Very fun car. And i dynoed mine in 3rd gear the 4th was showing very crazy numbers on mine.
I can vouch for this.
Hey, just curious, is your car still good as it was? I cant find a clear answer to wether i should upgrade my volvo engine or not..
@danielcohen3733 if you won't upgrade your turbo you will never kill this t6 engine. Once you start putting bigger turbo on, thatwhen the risks start happening
I love your V60! Makes me want to tune and mod my XC60 T6 (3.0)
Nice GC8 in the background. I love my GF8 Tommy kaira M20b. :)
whats the reason they dont come with some type shifting mechanism a knob and/or paddles? Btw I might've missed it, but this is straight stock? Does it have the polestar optimization tuning on it?
Since I can’t afford a new volvo anymore.. I been tuning my XC70, already started with r-design conversion, not sure how volvo was planning it becaue they clearly were going to make an XC70 RD but they didn’t. White papers I have discovered with RD options for XC70 indicate they planning to use matte or satin black for adds ons to match the exterior body cladding I guess. Weirdly I also found they going to use paint matched colors as well. But options I found indicating possible RD was in the works was: rear spoiler, mirror caps, rim colors all having r-design options on this white paper. Nothing confirmed and speaking with my sale’s guy as I call him he great source of info he told me he think they would have gone with matching the cladding, as may appear more aggressive vs body color matched.
Should mention, still around that 415 WHP from my last tune but it feels better now, and sounds godly on these Borla’s!
I was wondering what gear you were in, it's worth noting that the torque is limited in the first three gears (pretty severely in first and second). Torque is limited to 380 Nm in 1st, 400 Nm in 2nd and 450 Nm in 3rd (280, 295 and 332 lb-ft respectively).
The factory torque figure was originally advertised as 500+ Nm, with about 550 Nm in the upper gears. They didn't claim the full torque because the lower gears limit it so heavily.
The T6 engine is good for +1000hp, IF the bottom end is build the right way, so there is alot of potential :-) Piston rods and bearings though, will not go past 450'ish, expect a bit less, but still the stock engine will gladly do 400hp :-) I have a V60 T6 AWD from 2012, it has 305HP stock on the crank. Aiming for the 400hp mark within a years time or so. To get there I'm planning to swap the turbo, injectors, intake, ported head and a new tune. Should be enough to get pretty close :-) I know there are 10-15 easy hp to gain from straightpiping it, but in my country it is stupid illegal to remove the cat, so I want to retain it. Also, I do like that the car stays somewhat neutral in not only apprerance, but also sound.
The wheels you are running, what name and brand is that? They look so good on the car
Wow I was guessing high 290’s for hp but nearly 400wtq is amazing. I was planning on keeping mine stock for a while but now I’m beginning to change my mind.
Hello, very Nice results. From my V60 D4 2014 I have a dyno run after Tuning; 224 HP (4000 RPM) & 430 torq (3300 RPM).
It still be incredable cars
Very nice!
Do you have a local tuner? I’m not too far and looking for a tuner in the northeast
What a beautiful automobile, Volvo for life.
That’s awesome #’s!! I have same year v60 but R Design. I absolutely love the inline 6 on these cars, totally agree they are torque monsters. Cant wait to see (and hear!) your future mods! Im dying to get a DP too and looking at 8Eight Fab w/Hilton too.
Nice! Great choices.
Wow you got your V60 at the same time I got my S60 R-Design! Also in black lol
Nice! Sup P3 twin.
Hope i won't burst your bubble. But I would get it tuned by either BSR or MTE to get it tuned again as Polestar is super conservative in their tunes
Volvo is love :)
My friend has the polestar optimization s60 r design and i had a modified c70 making 350hp and 400tq and I told him the same thing there’s no way it’s making the advertised numbers it felt exactly like my c70 it pulls so hard through the gears and it’s sensitive in the low end.
go with Hilton,realy good to work with
just found your channel and subscribed. currently saving up for a 2016 S60 Polestar in Polestar blue and planning on some mods
Hey David thanks for the sub! Excited to bring you more. Great choice, these cars are so much fun, sound great, and perform well on the road. You won't be disappointed. Hope we can entertain you in the meantime while you save up. Cheers!
@@shiftinglanesgarage Can’t wait! Hope to have it by next summer. Right now with the prices of cars forget it.
Any chance you’ll be trying out IPD’s tune? Been trying to find someone that try’s it out
Not likely. I’ve already gone with Hilton as I’ve had great success with his stuff in the past.
I no longer have my volvo but watching these videos is really making me wish I was back in the Volvo community.
It puffed blue smoke a couple of times. Motor ok?
Yup! Motor is just fine. Lots of engines eat/burn oil. This one is no different. I was likely a little low when doing these runs.
Hey do you need a cat back to run a downpipe upgrade ? I want to grab that tme downpipe but don’t want to change the polestar exhaust, it’s to good
Nope! You can put an upgraded DP on the stock exhaust. Get in touch with Josh over at 8Eight Fab. He'll set you up with the best DP on the market for these cars.
@@shiftinglanesgarage that’s awesome ! parts for these are so much more money ! Just saw the heico piggy back price and almost fainted haha! Thanks man
Heico products are wildly overpriced, though they are of the highest quality. For tuning, Hilton or a TDI box is recommended.
@@shiftinglanesgarage thanks for the Info! I’m going to check it out now
Great numbers. Makes me wonder what my wife's XC70 T6 with the P* tune will make
P* Tunes are anywhere from 10-20 extra horses and the same for torque. Go dyno it and see what it comes up with!
Should be the same I would imagine! Ipd has a tune for these that doesn’t require any bolt ons
Big turbo
Are you on 93 bang bang juice in NJ?
Yup! 93 is all I put in it.
I bought the wrong V60 😕 the Cross-Country is good looking but I want that power. My wife has a XC60 T6 which pulls like crazy. I got a Supra to satisfy the POWER Demon within. So ill be okays
Have you driven one of the C40s yet?
We never have gotten to drive the older hatchback C40s, but we did get a sneak peak of the new one and it's really cool: ruclips.net/video/56qITA6GCoo/видео.html
@@shiftinglanesgarage If you're bored Saturday morning at Carlisle before things kick off we could swing up to the dealership I work at and take a spin. 20 min away.
With all the parts available and a proper tune should get close to 600lb-ft and 520hp
That poor transmission =-D
Doug shhhhhhhh, it'll hear you! Lol
@@shiftinglanesgarage 🤣 those Aisin TF60 gearboxes can take a shitload of power and torque which is good
If you have enough money you can make it bomb proof but that is probably the same with many transmissions
Kt4 performance has a turbo kit and forged internals that can get you over 600 HP easy
You'd make more power by pulling the fuse for the Haldex and just doing a FWD dyno.
Fake power. The whole point of doing the awd dyno is to get actual awd power.
FWD power wouldn't be accurate to how the car is intended to work.
If your point is figuring out crank HP, which is what most people quote, then eliminating the factor of unknown RWD losses helps you get a better number. if you want WHP, then yes you should run it in factory trim. Volvo quotes crank HP, which is what you were comparing your results to.
@@bump_draft no there are still 2wd crank to wheel losses...
Shouldve been the rebell blue tho :P
Bro it sounds like an pc would explode
Don't mustang dynos read a little bit lower than other dynos
Yea they do actually. So it's possible this is a little low. But the good news is we have a baseline to go by.
Let me guess, they are waaaaay under rated? I have one. I sold cars and have driven 300hp cars. This is, yes, faster than a g37 or 300z. How do I know this? All of them mad in my rear view mirror that a volvo wagon gapped them. I bet it's at least 400 torque.
3.5 Ferrita + Garret 3171 Turbo easily 500 hp
Bro I got an S60 PS edition pre face lift and it’s great except it’s missing some crucial things like a sport software which it doesn’t have. I love my car so much, I’ll never sell it unless it’s crushed (which is almost impossible for Volvo😂)
I could buy Audi RSs or BMW Ms but I don’t like to be obvious on the streets. Germany is really shit when it comes to the car community.
AWD parasitic loss is higher at 17-25%
Love the car but the gearbox is just too slow.
It's not the best, but it's fine. Way better than slushboxes of the past.
Fully agree.
Six cylinder? I thought all V60s were four cylinders...
Nope. For a while Volvo implemented a transversely mounted inline 6. It’s in both the regular V60 T6 and the Polestar up through 2016. After that they went all 4 cylinder with twin charging (super and turbo).
@@shiftinglanesgarage Ah, I thought your car was a 2023...when you said you had a 2016, I just didn't register in my head, my mistake. Enjoy what you have!
