Title says it all really! What are the bhp figures for T5 2.3 verses 2.5? Is it 240 v 193 high torque?

S70 ex-pc

Thanks

The engine - B5234T5 namely 2.3l (originally in the 850) was 225bhp grew to 250bhp by the time it reached the last 70 series (phase1) - grew to 300bhp in the 2.5l (S60R/V70R) as the B5254FT (dont flame me if I got it slightly wrong)

didn't the 2.3 lump get to 265bhp in 1 on the V70R's (AWD with twin exhaust pipe comes to mind but i'm probably totally wrong :slap: )

Just found this on the dutch site
http://www.volvo850club.nl

They have under the Techniek link a list of all the engines from 94 onwards

Sadly the torque figs are in Nm but you can get the gist I think.

Still no answer? Mark from salvo has a 2.5 ex-pc with small turbo is that a 250 bhp or 193?

OK, there was a 99 my V70R with a 19t turbo off the shelf that had 265bhp as stock, however it was AWD and auto only. At least i have never ever heard of a manual one.

Mark from Salvo has a C70 2.5 lpt at the moment, but that will soon change....he also has an ex Police S70 that has a later engine in it, this is possibly due to the time it was made, ie last of the S70 or a police request, it has not had an engine change !

Thanks Justin

It was the S70 he had Im interested in. He said it had a small turbo 2.5 and when he drove it the cars had massive low down torque. My question is, what should the bhp of this s70 be ? 193?

If its a 2.5 S70 its not a 250bhp T5 so will be the 193bhp hence the low down torque as the turbo is smaller so will kick in sooner.

The R engine shares almost nothing in common with the T5 as the internals are all forged, theirs the 250bhp T5, the 265BHP AWD old V70 R was auto only and the newer S60 T5's are 260bhp on the T5 engine.

Just spoke to Mark and it seems I misheard him
:frown:

His is a t5 2.3 not a 2.5 after all. So 240?
