So, there's usually much discussion about the V70/S70R, but I'[m asking specifically about the engine only, and only the 2319cc engines.
Aside from the turbos, are there any differences in the engines themselves?
Thanks in advance.

The 2319cc engines in an R, be it 850, S70 or V70 are exactly the same as found in the T5 model of the same year. An 850 engine uses different pistons to an S/V70.
Excellent. Now I just need to find a nice manual V70R with a rattly engine, like the one I didn't bid on on eBay before I got this T5...
As Tim said :)
850r / V70r p1 is meant to have treated rods, I believe to make them slightly stronger but this makes no different afaik.
Best block is probably the 83mm bore (B5244T2) - look through Shemtek's spares bin - https://www.facebook.com/shemtekautomotive/?fref=ts
Did the later t5's (99' onwards) have VVT???
Yes exhaust can only iircQuote:

The first engine to have these rods was the 1996 B234T5 850r/T5r
This is why 850`s break rods easier than the V70...
I knew they where on the 850r and then STD on the v70 t5, still obviously not as good as forged but everything helps I guess.Quote:
