B23: bore 96 stoke 80. Block hgt 231,7mm rod c-c (stock) 145mm, common after market 152mm, JVAB 160... (Skye same bore and stroke as Lima in the Xratties, same stock valve size more or less (less on ex valve), same head bolt spacing...
Head on that I believe i read he has what they call "Two Valve Evo" an aftermarket head that is allowed.. (see they have sucky politics even in Sweden where weak parasites finagle their way into positions of some importance and sell their honor away. In Group H, its supposed to be heads stay more or less what came on the car in some previous homologation, so since there was never a 16v 240, guys can't run out to the wrecking yard and get a Sooooooper bitchin 16v head for equivalent of 75, stick in a couple of 39mm intake valves---up from stock 34mm and have a head that will flow air for 250-270 hp--serious. But they can somehow buy a totally aftermarket head---very much like all these insanely cool heads for V8 stuff here--everything absolutely fantastic (thick pillars where the bolts go, thicker material in the casting, ports just about as good as you can make 'em, nothing interchanges to stock Volvo, not manifolds, cam cover, nothing) and it'll cost $8000 to 10,000 by time you start the car with one---THAT's OK. somehow. Nobody knows... why its legal. Here for photo thread: 
Look at the angle the exhuast exits, very low and bad short side radius stock 
Now with 2 valve Evo 
Now look where the ports are on 2 valve evo---this is exhaust so maybe reference spark plug hole: 
Now stock: 
20 years ago 230-235 was common club motor for Volvos , with the Evo i really don't know but certainly over 250-260....not to shabby...

I actually managed to figure out a couple words before succumbing to the google translate. If I move to sweden I probably will figure it out... among other benefits... such as this sorta thing.

Too bad that's Norwegian and specifically NyNorsk. And that's rallycross. John Vanlandingham Sleezattle, WA, USA Vive le Prole-le-ralliat www.rallyrace.net/jvab CALL +1 206 431-9696 Remember! Pacific Standard Time is 3 hours behind Eastern Standard Time. |

Didn't know its Norway but is there something wrong with Euro rallycross? Looks like fun to me.
