[DMCForum] Re: PRV Variations



Problem is probably the messenger, not the message ("Cain't you
understand my acc'int?")

Don't make it sound like my block's from Mars. Is instantly
recognizable as PRV. Looks just like a B27 (according to my new Volvo
literature, two piece upper air assembly was introduced with B28 to
reduce engine vibration). PCV through U pipes matches B27 too. Heads
very different, but can't see that from outside.

After flurry of messages last week I think *EVERYONE* knows my
compression higher (sorry Martin). That's why I burn 93 octane ("4 star"?)

BTW: PRV has long racing history. Apparently people are hopping these
things up all over Europe. Have seen HP numbers as high as 600.
DeLorean UK might be able to do a tidy business shipping performance
heads, pistons, manifolds, etc to this side of pond. If you search
internet, Europeans call high performance "tuning" an engine.

Oh, 90% of your hits will be sites other than English.
