2.4 is supposed to be the best for all round tuning - bigger than the 2.3 and stronger than the 2.5. ME7 can be a pig - no dump valve, no Blanking plate, no MBC - you can't even fart in the cabin without it throwing EML!

Think that's wrong Dave.
My car is an ME7.1 and that has VVT on both inlet AND exhaust.
My old 1999 Laser blue had ME7 and that ALSO had VVT on inlet and exhaust.
The 2.4 lump in the classic V70R awd that ran 1999 - 2000 was an ME7 engine.
Engine code: B5244RT (Turbo:TD04HL-19T) Bosch ME7. The later R 2003> was....
B5254T4 - KKK-K24 --- Bosch ME7.1.
There was no ME9 fuel system.

MY2005 2.4 is AFAIK ME9 for sure? Don't say that I may have something wrong - I don't think I could live with the shame

I'm not talking about 2005my and neither is Kingsford. He means the 2.4 1999 - 2000 lump.
Your 2005 2.4 is a different engine and yes it will be ME9. The 2.4 engine may well be mechanically the same but the 2005> use ME9 which is a completely different fuel system to the ME7.

<3 2.4
Quite straight forward to get a reliable 350bhp so I've read.
2005 S60 T5 - Remapped 321BHP
To clarify...cos your obviously confused...
The 'classic' shape V70 ran from 1997 - 2000. The V70R AWD version of the 'classic' ran from 1998 - 2000.
The phase 1 - was from 1997 - 1998. (V70R FWD only).
Phase 2 - 1999 (V70R AWD)
Phase 3 - 1999/2000 (V70R AWD)
My laser blue V70R awd that i used to own (people that know me long enough know which one) was a 1999 2.3 (2319cc) and had the 4 spd adaptive learning auto box. It also had the n/s bumper blanked off and the exhaust came out the o/s. This model on this year has 250bhp ONLY!!
The later V70R on a 1999/2000my which had twin exhaust was the only model to have 265bhp, 2.4 (2435cc) and have a 5 spd auto.This was achieved by fitting the 19T turbo. The 250bhp version (ie Phase 2) had an 18T turbo as did the Phase 1 (which was only available in FWD). Both had 2.3 T5 engines but with the difference of having a bigger turbo and remap. Normal T5 engines that ran from 1994 - 1997 had a 15G turbo and 225bhp accept the 850T5-R which was 240bhp and the 850R which was 250bhp.
The V70R AWD 'Classic' was a Phase 2 or 3 car, not a Phase 1.
In 2003 Volvo ditched the 'classic' shape R models and the P26 was born. This also had an engine overhaul inc 2521cc with lighter crankshaft, racing sump, over the engine intercooler hose, ME7.1, KKK-24 (bigger) turbo, full remap, 4C, two fuel pumps, two intercoolers, 300bhp and a whole raft of extra stuff!
The engine on the P26 - R does not redline until 7250rpm where as the previous lumps did so at around 6750rpm (if my memory serves me correct?) can any current Phase 2/3 owners corroborate that please?

Be warned thou!!!
There are quite a few 'rouge' V70R's out there of the classic variety, namely people that have resprayed their cars 'laser blue' (the most desireable IMO) and i have also come across one or two phase 2 cars that have had the bumper modded and the exhaust adapted and claim to be 265bhp. They are, of course only 250bhp.
The only way to be sure is to get the VIN, engine code and VRN and walk into your local dealer. They will be able to clarify from Volvo UK exactly what the car should be and exactly what spec it left the factory with.
hope that helps
