Performance mods for s60R

Has anyone done and performance modifications to a S60R? I am thinking about
three changes, a sports exhaust, a sports air filter and tweaking to turbo
output. Also, I am getting the fuel injectors cleaned as more of a
maintenance issue.

I would be interested if others have done any modifications and if so what
in their opinion was the best bang for buck.

Thanks in advance.

Mark...you are on the right track...imho...you might want to check out
www.v70r.com...eventhough they are a "wagon" group...some of the
mod discussions are informative for the "v/s60r's"........generally
though
these cars come out of the factory "modded"...i see folks doing three
main thing to even make em' faster.....1) chips 2) exhaust systems
3) sway bars / shocks / suspensions ...... cheers...how di ya like
the
s60r ? i picked up a nice used 04 wagon and love it......

 

I love my S60R! I have to drive a long way to work every weekday and the car
makes the journey so much more enjoyable.

Mine is a six speed manual, black with the dark blue interior. It has done
just over 100k kilometres in 4.5 years that the cars been on the road. I
have owned it for 2.5 of those years and I never get sick of it or bored. It
also never ceases to amaze me when it comes to performance. I think after I
finish doing the mods that I will try to take it out on the track so that I
can truly appreciate what it can do.

I really have found a car that suits me down to the ground, that's why I'd
much rather "play" with it rather than go and buy something else. I can
honestly see myself hanging on to the car until it's least 10 years old.

Thanks for the tip on the V70R site, I have seen plenty of S60R sites, but
never thought about V70R however, same motor, so it makes sense! Thanks for
your response and the tip.

Just on putting a chip in it, I have been told it's better to get the whole
computer taken out, sent to Europe (somewhere, not sure) for the original
computer to be "re-wired". It cost about the same as a "add on" chip, but
apparently is a better option. The down size is that it's a 10 day wait with
no car.

All of the mods together take it from 220kws to around 270kws plus. Not sure
of the torque improvements but close to 500Nms, I would guess. So it's a big
boost in performance to say the least. That will make me smile!

Cheers,
