Must Know

I need to know the BHP on my volvo and feel free to post any web sites:bandit: (2.3 Litre, I4, 16 valve)

Try looking at your car's registration (as in the sheet that prooves that you have the right to drive the particular car). If not, try google

Well as far as I know it's about 116bhp.
Check Sites for used cars they often have specs to the cars.

Good idea!

I would start with www.mobile.de (yes, there is an English version), but there might be differences between USDM and european specs

thanks guys. I don't know how to get the english version on the mobile.de:bandit:

:D

Take 2

:D

The most common output seems to be 83kW (around 113hp), which sounds about right for an old 2.3

Now tell us why did you NEED to know the numbers? :)

Let's hear it!:right:

I politely asked in another thread that I started before about another car, but no one replied so I guess this is one of the ways to find out eh?:bandit:

Well seems so, but you still didn't answer why yyou need it?:bandit:

thats my point, I didn't NEED to know it. I wanted to know it.:bandit:

Check www.carpoint.com. Go to Research Used Cars, and select your model. Engine info should show that stuff!

Hope that helps.

thanks Mike, and ales if you still don't understand what Im trying to tell you then stop posting on this thread or something. Im tired of explaining myself.:bandit:

I got it. - People it was just a test.:bandit:

thanks bean, I've never been good at the simple things in life:bandit:

Glad to help you out:bandit:

If it's a 16V, you probably have a B234F engine in the car and I think it have around 150 hp.

Why don't take a look in the manual?

I've read throught it a couple timkes and it doesn't say chief:bandit:

Take a look in the engine bay, or on the engine block to check if it's a B234F. If it is I would guess it have around 150 hp. The B234F engine was also used in 740 and 940.

I think it might be a b230f:bandit:

The B230F have a 8 valve top wich look like this http://home.swipnet.se/4banger-dragracing/index/images/t-motor2.jpg

Pictures of a 16V top you can find on http://www.hunchbackracing.com
under pictures. Note that this too is painted in silver and sits on a b21 block.

is there a turbo on the 8 valve top in that picture?http://home.swipnet.se/4banger-drag...es/t-motor2.jpg

also, the over drive on my car acts more as a turbo then something that would conserve fuel. it increases the RPM's by 500 and adds 5 MPH from when I activate it and keep the pedal at the same level:bandit:

It's the 8 valve top, with turbo. The engineblock used is a B21 or B23, I'm not sure. The older B21 or B23 blocks are stronger than the newer B230.
But it's not directly a stock turbo, this engine have around 500 hp. But even with that power they are relativly cheap to build.
They can also be tuned up to over 1000 hp, but then I recommend the 16V top on a B21 or B23 block.

I don't think that my car has 500 hp and if it does then its hiding it somewhere. My car has no pick up what-so-ever and when I step on the accelerator it guzzles gas. Any ideas on whats causing this? Im cleaning the fuel injection and all the filters are new, but I put around 150 miles a week on my and its nothing rough so I don't know whats going on. The car has around 200k in miles:bandit:

it is a b230f for sure

I meant the engine in the picture!

oh...haha...I knew that...I was-just-uhhh...testing you
