Re: 1.4/1.7/2.0/2.0i.. differences in driving characteristic

Only thing is having to get the engine+ get it in ...

Re: 1.4/1.7/2.0/2.0i.. differences in driving characteristic

I definatley used to notice the heavy flywheel.. It seemed to keep its speed up well going up salisbury plain with all my band gear and mates :lol:
Which reminds me- I saw a video on youtube of a 343r sport- twin carb setups sound nice mated to a redblock 8)

1.4/1.7/2.0/2.0i.. differences in driving characteristics??

Hi guys, ages since ive posted on this forum. Ive only driven a Volvo 340 1.7 carb and a 360 2.0 Injection. I found the 340 to be more responsive lower down, whilst my 360 felt a bit sluggish low down but really started shifting at higher speed ranges. Maybe my old 360 was just clapped out though?? ...
