Power/Torque chart for B230F 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob Conolly on  Tue Apr 9 11:33 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hey guys...

I was wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find a power/torque "chart" for a stock B230F. I'm probably not using the right terminology here, but what I'm referring to is a graph that shows torque and horsepower vs. RPM and where each peaks. I've seen these online for the B21 and B23, but haven't been able to locate one as of yet for the 230F.

Perhaps there's something wrong with my car, but I don't have much power below 2500rpm, however between 2500-4500rpm the car really pulls. Is this about right for an (I think) 'M' cam? Sounds about right, as my Haynes manual says that the engine develops 136 lb.-ft. @ 2750rpm. Which begs the question...why in the hell did Volvo gear the n/a 240 so high?

TIA.
