The B21FT had the forged crank and con rods of the early anvil-like engines. In the B230FT they are cast, not as strong. Also the K jet fuel injection system is continuous injection and there is a constant idle system as well. B21FTs do not ever seem to show cylinder wear when inspected by removing the head. Unlike the B23FT (in my experience) a thinner walled bored out B21FT, and I do not know about the B230FT in that regard yet, thankfully. The Garrett is used on all 240Ts and in my experience a nicely tuned B21FT, say an 85 244Ti is a real rocket with unbelievable boost at 3000-5000 rpm. Not sure if the 780Ti (in 90-91 the most pwerful of the B230FTs) is slower or just smoother, and deceptive.
