Car Forum / Volvo Cars / January 200595 T5R engine
My engine seized last night, anybody know where I can buy a used one or a rebuilt engine? > My engine seized last night, anybody know where I can buy a used one > or a rebuilt engine? Where are you?? T5 engines don't grow on trees, best bet would be to find a local scrapyard that deals in newer European cars, I don't think the R motor itself is any different than the normal T5, that'll be a rather expensive motor though, next time keep oil in it. > > My engine seized last night, anybody know where I can buy a used one > > or a rebuilt engine?

The R motor are at 250 bhp with manual trans. 245 bhp with automatic trans. The T5 motor are at 225? bhp. /Erik Lid?n > > > My engine seized last night, anybody know where I can buy a used one > > > or a rebuilt engine?

I still don't think the *motor* is any different, the ECU certainly is, as well as the turbo in the R may be a bit larger, but the extra power is created by higher boost and a different injection curve. >> The R motor is different from the T5.

It is different, why would Volvo give it a different name, B5234T5, if it was only the Ecu? I know at least the main end bearings are stronger, i think the injectors are bigger too. Of course you could get a B5234T and use that, it will for sure hold up for that small power increase. Dont know what have seized, but i prefer to repair the old engine, then you know what you have, buying a used is always a risk. Niels > >> The R motor is different from the T5.

Isn't the B5234T5 used in all the T5's, not just the R? If not then I stand corrected. > Isn't the B5234T5 used in all the T5's, not just the R? If not then I > stand > corrected. The 225 hp T5 models have B5234T The 240 hp T5R or R with aut. trans. have B5234T5 The 250 hp R with man. trans. have B5234T4 Niels > > Isn't the B5234T5 used in all the T5's, not just the R?

Second, the engine is seized hard, there is NO rebuilding without major resleaving, which is a no-no in a Volvo. 3rd, there is only 3 engines in a 95 850 - normal aspired turbo and T5R All T5R engines are the same regardless of what the tranny is, the only difference is the manual put out 5 more horsepower do to the gear ratio Manual 250hp Auto 245hp The difference in a T5R engine and a regular turbo is the oil lines and the way the water is routed through the engine, and they are only slightly different. So do not try and put a T5R turbo on a regular turbo engine as it will blow the engine apart. The extra HP developed by the T5R comes from bigger injectors and the waste gate on a T5R are electronically controlled, while normal tubos are vacuumed controlled. This makes the T5R turbo more efficent. > 1st of all, I blew a gasket on the interstate and lost most of my oil > in about 5 miles.

Have to correct you on some points. There are more engines than what you say, perhaps the number is limited where you live, but worldwide the number is larger, I just counted 9 different engines in 1995. All 2.3 litre T5R engines are named B5234T5 and are off course the same. In some countries there was a cheaper 2.0 litre version with 225 bhp, B5204T3. The ECU program in the manual and auto version differs slightly. The effect in both version is 240 bhp at 5600 rev, but the torque is limited to 300 Nm in the auto compared to 330 Nm in the maual version. The B5234T and B5234T5 engines have the same injectors, same oillines etc. They both have electronically controlled wastegate. The B5234T5 engine is basically a B5234T engine with up to 30 seconds overboost raising the effect from 225 hp to 240 hp. Niels |
