[DMCForum] Re: PRV-6 improvements

["captain_hydrogen" <captainhydrogen@xxxxxxx>]

Great to hear from you Martin.

How different is the B28E spec from the B28F?  Is the conversion to 
B28E something that I can do at home?  Your site also mentions a 200 
220 hp version of the PRV-6.  What is involved in that process?

Engine: B28F
Type Light-alloy 90deg V6 with two overhead camshafts. 
Displacement 2.85 liters 
Bore & stroke 91x73mm 
Compression 8.8:1 
Block type Light-alloy with cast iron cylinder liners. 
Cyl. heads Light-alloy cross-flow with hemi-chambers. 
Cooling sys. Water/Ethylene Glycol. Radiator forward with twin 
thermostatically controlled fans 
Fuel system Bosch K-Jetronic C.I.S. Fuel-injection 
Ignition sys. Bosch electronic breakerless 
Emission ctrl. Lambda Sond/catalytic. Unleaded fuel. 

Thank you,
Ben Ferguson
