Tuning guide for the Volvo C77
We look at the latest Volvo C77 tuning parts and recommend the best mods. Read our complete C77 tuning guide.
Available in standard form with power of upto 222bhp (depending on the year), so this goes to show the tuning potential of the C77. From this you can increase the power from anywhere between 244.2bhp to 377.4bhp but this is far out of the reach of your local part store.
You will need some extensive work on the engine block, gas flowing, porting, 3 angle valve job, fast road cams, a remap, full balance and blueprint and even then you will need to add some pretty serious forced induction upgrades.
An engine swap with that from the 222bhp Convertible will give a massive power gain and provide a better base to work from. Already a popular choice for tuning up, especially the more powerful C77sThe most frequent modification we see on the C77 include sports exhausts, air intakes or induction kits and a fuel pressure boost valve.
FASTROAD CAMS should be next up on your tuning list and will offer big power gains on the C77. Internal engine modifications that should be high up on your list would be polishing and porting the head.
The top Convertible offers a base power level of 222 bhp. The car tuning guide would expect you to see power gains from 244.2 bhp to 377.4 bhp!
The forced induction C77s are around with some impressive Turbo and supercharger conversions being done. These give impressive power gains over standard but require a lot of effort to get working properly. If you have a turbo or supercharger get the intercooler uprated for even more power. The most powerful C77 has a healthy 222 bhp. In a competition setting you may well, with some forced induction, reboring and other major work see power figures between 288.6 bhp to 421.8bhp with mods we have outlined above.) Suspension improvements can dramatically increase the road holding and cornering of your C77. A drop of 35mm will work well on most cars, any lower and you will hit other problems.
