• I'm buying a new car.

I have a black 86' Volvo 760 Turbo Intercooler on my hand.
It has done 3400000 km, and has a B230FT engine.

It has automatic gear, electrical -windows, central lock and sunroof.

What do you think of that?

Posted: **19 Jul 2006 04:44 pm**

Those are really nice! I'd buy one if i had the money. Did it really run 3.400.000 km?

Hehe, sorry.

340000 km that is

Keep it a few years Nasonex you might get to 3 million km yet!! but at only 211.000 miles it's just nicely run-in.

The highest mileage the Owners club in the UK lists is 2.300.000 mls. (a P1800s in the US) - the also know of a 240 in Finland with over 1.6 million mls.

Good luck with it - those early turbos can be very nice motors indeed.

Nice cars, and very rare in black

Are you sure it has a B230FT in 1986? I thought all european cars got ETs. Nice car, no question, and I prefer the 760/960 interior to the '40 version. Are you keeping the 360?

Cat versions and efi versions are not E in 200 (maybe same with 700?), I think that should be easy rule to regonize them if I'm right?

This is how it goes in 200 serie
B20=2l older type of engine, not ohc, engine mounted straight
B19/B21/B200= 2l redblock
B23/B230= 2,3l redblock
A=singlecarb Strömberg(maybe some other make too?)
K=singlecarb Solex
E=K-Jetronic (mechanical injection)
F=Motronic/XX-Jet/whatever electric injection
xT=turbo

Then more common in 700 was B234 and B204 that were twincam engines, quite rare in 200.

Then for 300 exception is that E is also efi, but F is always cat

But don't know if it is different in 700....

Close...here's my correction...

A=sidedraft carb
K=downdraft carb
E=Non-lambda injection (K-Jet mechanical, LE-Jet 360, Motronic 700 turbo)
F=Lambda and Cat EFI (LU/LH-Jet)
G=Lambda EFI
xT=high pressure turbo

There's a much more in-depth article on this very subject on Turbobricks.

E=K-Jetronic (mechanical injection)
F=Motronic/XX-Jet/whatever electric injection

wrong.
E= injection without lambda (a.o. the K-jet but also the electronic LE-jet from the 360)
F= injection with lamda correction

So it is more wide definition that I have guessed.

Any link to that information to turbobricks? I tried to look, but seems I can not spot one

Posted: **23 Jul 2006 04:34 pm**

Hi.. nope.. think i misunderstood .. I believe its a B230ET.
