What Cylinder Head To Use For Best Performance With 2.3L Block?

Well, there is no 05+ B5234T3, they stopped making 2.3l engines after '04 They did, the C70 got them. I'm not agreeing with your PNs based on my version of VADIS. For example, I'm seeing that 6900044 was used in 03+ B5234T9. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a copy of that excel chart home with me to make changes. <_<:lol:

I didn't list ALL the 2.3 engines, just the T3 :rolleyes:

Indeed you did. I gotta stop getting ahead of myself and forgetting what I'm talking about before you all think I'm an idiot :arob: I figured out what the problem is. The B5234T3 that went into the S60 didn't get the same cams as the B5234T3 that went into the C70, unless VADIS is lying to me. If that's true, then I need to break this chart up into different car models too. <_<

Edit: according to VADIS, in '02, the C70 B5234T3 got the 9458202 intake cam, 9458203 exhaust cam. In the S60, the same engine got the 6900044 intake and 9497822 exhaust, which agrees with what you posted. The cams the C70 version of the engine got aren't even in the list on the S60. I wonder if they really are different, or if they just gave it a new PN for the C70 :rolleyes:

C70 only used the B5234T3 up to '02, according to the VADIS I have. Cams for that are 9458202 intake 9458203 exhaust - same as the lower output B5204T3. Maybe the C70 was detuned compared to other models?

That's possible. Either way, we'll know the duration on them tomorrow, even if it isn't what we really want to know, it's a start in the right direction. :lol: It may be time to take a trip to the junkyard to see how many different cams I can score :ph34r:

As a side note, I didn't see a PN stamped on the cam with a quick inspection earlier. Does anyone know where Volvo put it? :unsure:

HOLY WTF! Where's the barf emoticon when you need it? :monkey: I know you said before smoothing, but still...

C70 only used the B5234T3 up to '02, according to the VADIS I have. Cams for that are 9458202 intake 9458203 exhaust - same as the lower output B5204T3. Maybe the C70 was detuned compared to other models?

Things get even more interesting. In VADIS, for a 2002 C70 Coupe with a B5234T3, they claim the cams are 9207943 (intake) and 9207944 (exhaust).

I just scratched the varnish off the intake cam and found 6900044. So I guess I won't trust the info in VADIS about the C70s.. <_<
