I did not know that, thanks for the correction. Every day is a school day! I figured that the 500cc drop was done by losing a pot and it was the same 5 pot 2.5 whiteblock in the 850/V70.
Any ideas as to why the 2.5 models were made/what market they were aimed at? It seems like a lot of effort to re-engineer the six cylinder engine with smaller bores, longer rods and shorter stroke when the 3.0 came first and the 2.5 produces 30hp less and seems to return similar fuel figures.

Slightly sneakily though, Volvo fitted the ridiculous 4.1:1 diff, meaning 0-60 times weren't too much slower than the 3.0's, however at the expense of being at 3,000rpm at 70mph. For comparison, my 940 Turbo would sit at 70 at a more reasonable 2,250rpm. Cheers

Everyone knows though the FT (and FK!) should be run at 12-13psi for a nice ~185bhp
Cheers

What's under the bonnet of your blue 765 Turbo Luke? Does it have a cat and a Lambda sensor?
