I always thought that a five speed stick 960 would be sweet. __ __ Randy & \ \/ /alerie's \__/olvos '90 245 Estate - '93 965 Estate "Shelby" & "Kate"
There is talk of it but nothing definite yet. You will have to take your place in the queue I am afraid. All the best, Peter. 700/900/90 Register Keeper, Volvo Owners Club (UK).
You will have to go to Europe/UK for that. There was a manual option offered of the M90 box on 960s and S/V90s after '94 when the 2.5 Litre engine was introduced. All the best, Peter. 700/900/90 Register Keeper, Volvo Owners Club (UK).
Just thought of another consideration: if I get a turbo model will I need to fuel up with the premium octane gas? That's all I used to put in the 240 Turbo and it's another reason the 760 is cheaper to operate, it runs fine on the cheap stuff. Fuel prices are topping $1/L today and the primo is another $6-8/tank. Thanks, blurp
Haven't noticed a difference betwen any of the grades in my 940 Turbo...maybe a bit less power with the lowest...but a double blid study would probably show it's all in my head Switched down to the midgrade (from 93 to 87 RON) at the beginning of this year and haven't noticed any difference in performance or distance per unit of liquid measure, but don't know if the electronics in a 940 Turbo act the same as the 240 Turbo..think it would be all about the automatic anti-knock timing adjustment?
The 83 240 Turbo predates anti-knock timing adjustment and virtually all electronics. No knock sensor, nothing. LOL
I run mid grade with stock boost levels, it works fine. The cheap stuff will work too, but the timing retards further resulting in lower fuel economy and more expense than just running mid grade. Premium results in about the same economy as the cheap stuff so there's such thing as too much of a good thing, but you can run higher boost.
would a V6 froggy engine survive if it was lubed only with Synthetic oil, I know mine many years ago did the camsjust chewed them out but as I was told use BP Corse plus I wonder if this helped cause the problems as its a very thick oil, as well the wet sleave motor needs good anti corrosion fluid now we have 2x 740 turbos and 88 and a 90 plus my sons 240 dl which seems fine at 300000 klms.Run our Volvos on BP synthetic oil 5 -40 seems fine .
