A PRV is a Volvo B28F, so. . .

[Delo6647]

A Delorean PRV is essentially a Volvo B28F, and Volvo 760's and 780's came equipped with a PRV B280F. Is a B280F the same thing as a B280? (I know the differences between a B28F and a B280, just to let you know!)

I've got some data for you, from the www, don't remember where it came from. There's a B280F and B280E listed, but not a B280. The B280F is described in the Haynes Volvo 740 & 760 book, but not the B280 or B280E.

The parts of the DMC PRV that are shared with the B28F I've never seen a list of, although most (?) of the engine is the same. For example, look here: http://www.dmctalk.com/showthread.php?t=6072 for a discussion on the coolant Y pipe variations.

This is a Volvo press release that briefly explains the two b280 variations; e and f. The b280e has a higher output due to different cams, timing, and according to the press release different heads. I've also heard that it has a higher compression ratio.

Check the turbobricks forum for more info on b280 engines.

That's the simplest I've seen these engines described! Thanks Eddie!
