  Designed and engineered specifically for the Volvo V70R, the Bell Intercoolers front mount intercooler system offers unsurpassed performance and craftsmanship. The same race winning combination found in our custom intercoolers, now available in a bolt-on system. Engineered to improve the power and efficiency of the V70R forced induction system, the Bell Intercoolers system uses a large Bar and Plate type core properly sized to safely deliver reduced intake temperatures and maximize power output on applications rated up to 450 hp.

This increased performance and efficiency translates directly into faster boost response and a denser intake air charge for more horsepower at factory boost levels and even greater power at higher boost levels. At 18 psi of boost pressure, the Bell Intercoolers system delivered an 18 hp increase over the factory intercooler system (see Technical below).

Quite simply, this system is designed and engineered to be the best upgrade intercooler for your Volvo V70R. Every detail reflects our motorsports experience and expert approach to intercooler system design. System includes all components required for installation.

  Lower Temperatures + Lower Pressure Loss = More Horsepower
The dyno sheet tells the story. These dyno runs were performed at full throttle, at 18.5 psi of boost pressure. The difference? A maximum increase of 18hp (at wheels), approximately 21-25hp at the crank, was shown with the Bell Intercoolers system. And as you can see from the dyno sheet the power increase was across the entire rpm range, being especially pronounced at the higher rpm levels. This is a performance upgrade that provides benefits at all rpm levels.

It is important to note that this test was limited to 18.5 psi of boost pressure. At these boost pressures the factory system is well beyond it design specifications and is no longer able to remove enough heat to provide optimal performance or to safely protect against detonation. With it’s large Bar and Plate type core, the Bell Intercoolers system is designed to safely handle 450hp. That means that even at the higher boost pressures and extreme temperatures required to produce 450hp (at engine) the Bell Intercoolers system is working within design specifications and is capable of delivering optimal performance.

To learn more about the engineering behind these performance figures, as well as the performance advantages of the Bell Intercooler Volvo V70R Front Mount Intercooler System across all power levels refer to the Technical section.
