How much horsepower does a stock 1995 Volvo 850 have?

Answer 1

It depends on the engine variant. In 1995 Volvo offered a 2.0 20 value producing 143 BHP, a 2.5 10 valve producing 140 BHP (Yes, less than the 2.0 - 20V) a 2.5 20 valve at 170 BHP and the T-5 at 225 BHP. A special edition was brought to the UK called T-5R at 241 BHP and later the 850R was available producing 250 BHP in manual guise, and 240BHP with the automatic box. If you open the bonnet, there should be a sticker on the left side end of the engine's cylinder head starting B5 (for benzine, 5 cylinder). The next two numbers refer to the displacement, and the fourth number indicates the number of valves per cylinder. This will enable you to identify the exact specification of the engine. eg B5204F indicates a 5 cylinder 2.0 litre engine with four valves per cylinder i.e. a 2.0 litre 20 valve. All Diesel models had an Audi sourced five pot direct injection turbo unit rated at 140 BHP. Hope this helps.
