B6254FS

A new, small 2.5-litre engine, known as the B6254 FS, was introduced for the 1995 Volvo 960. It developed 170bhp (130kW) at 5,700rpm and maximum torque of 230N·m (170lb·ft) at 4,400rpm. This engine was identical in every way to the larger B6304S, apart from the stroke being reduced to 80mm (3.1in) and the bore to 81mm (3.2in), producing a displacement of 2,473 cc. Like other Volvo engines, it was optimised for low-end and middle range torque. The 180hp (130kW) version of this engine was called the B6244 FS.

Applications:

  • 1995~1998 Volvo 960/S90/V90 (Longitudinally Mounted RWD)

Non-catalyst, leaded-fuel compatible version of the B6254S, for regions with limited availability of unleaded fuel.

2.8

B6284T

The B6284T is a 2.8 L (2783 cc), twin-turbocharged straight-six. Bore is 81mm (3.2in) and stroke is 90mm (3.5in). Output is 268hp (200kW; 272PS) at 5400rpm, with 280lb·ft (380N·m) of torque at 2100-5000rpm.

Applications:

  • 1999-2002 Volvo S80 T6

2.9

B6294S

The B6294S is a 2.9L (2922cc) straight-six. Bore is 83mm (3.3in) and stroke is 90.3mm (3.6in). Output is 194hp (145kW; 197PS) at 6000rpm with 207lb·ft (281N·m) of torque at 4200rpm. This engine is based on the B6304 (see below), but refined for transverse mounting and variable valve timing.

Applications:

  • 2003 Volvo S80 2.9

B6294T

The B6294T is a 2.9L (2922cc), twin-turbocharged and intercooled version of the B6294S. Bore is 83mm (3.3in) and stroke is 90.3mm (3.6in). Output is 272hp (203kW; 276PS) at 5200rpm with 280lb·ft (380N·m) of torque at 1800-5000rpm.

Applications:

  • 2003-2006 Volvo S80 T6/T6 Executive
  • 2003-2006 Volvo XC90 T6

B6304S

The B6304S was the first generation of modular inline-6 engines. It has the same bore and stroke (83x90 mm) as the B6294, but the deciliter number was rounded up (i.e. 2,922 cc to 3,000 cc). These engines produced 204hp (152kW; 207PS) at 6000rpm, and 197lb·ft (267N·m) of torque at 4300rpm. Engine output was reduced to 180hp (134kW; 182PS) and 199lb·ft (270N·m) by changing the cam profile (back then without variable valve timing) in favour of emissions regulations.

To develop this new, modular engine type, Volvo had a cooperation project with Porsche / Weissach.

Applications:

  • 1990~1998 Volvo 960/S90/V90 (Longitudinally Mounted RWD)
  • 1994-1999 Indigo 3000
