As a Delorean owner, and a 928 owner for many years I feel obliged to chip in.
The early 928 engines are aluminum, and use bosch K-jetronic, as the Delorean. I think it would make an interesting...
Hi, it’s an old fashioned driving experience, no power steering or power brakes. Carbureted engine and no air conditioning.
That said, it is a laugh to drive. I frequently find myself giggling...

I’m replacing my original engine with a B28E.
What’s the easiest way of swapping?
Separating the engine from the transmission while in the car, or lifting out the whole engine/transmission...
Ok, I need some advice...
Engine 1
The original engine in my car has 13.000miles but sat for a long time. It had water in the cylinders and intake ports, it turned out. Rust in 3 cylinders, rusty...
I’ve read about that exact same symptom in a different “no spark” thread here on dmctalk. Or maybe on the eurotech forum.
Sadly I don’t remember what the cause was...

I just took delivery of the B28E, and it appears to be stored indoors at least, albeit somewhat grimy.
But to my disappointment the fuel distributor is missing.
Can I use the garage one from...
Thanks, my final question still is: will I need the ecu from the Volvo to take full advantage of a B28E upgrade?

Idle ECU: got it!
Lambda ECU: by frequency valve you mean the little device on the pass side valve cover? I guess this whole setup is missing on the non-catalytic converter B28E.
Ignition ECU:...
Trivial question maybe, but what do the three ecu’s do?
- small black one, idle control unit. I guess it controls the idle speed unit on the drivers side cam cover. But what’s its input?

Thanks everyone. I’m located in Norway, Europe. I came across the Volvo engine by chance. An amcar enthusiast bought a Volvo 760 and decided to fit americano iron in it. The prv has sat on a pallet...
OK, thanks!
I'm not going carbureted. I'm going to use the Volvo unit as is (as much as possible).
And, yeah. For once I should strive to use the proper chemicals for sealing. In earlier projects I’ve just used generic gasket silicone, with mixed results.

Thanks!
How exactly do you mate the dmc wiring harness to the ignition and fuel injection respectively?
The whole lambda setup is obsolete? You didn’t connect the lambda ecu at all? How do...
@Andrew: unfortunately I’m unable to see the photos you uploaded to DMCtoday. Do you feel like reposting them here?

OK, I have a spare bolt on pulley to share then :)

I have 4 fuel distributors all together, partly because I have a B27 in my possession as well.
What’s the big deal about the bolt on pulley? I think I might have thrown one in the trash...

Thanks for the extensive answer!
I’m pretty sure it’s a B28E, out of an euro spec 760

Hi
I’m considering doing this swap. How hard is it to make a B28E work? The engine is out of a euro spec Volvo 760.
From what I can see it has a fuel pump on the cam cover, as opposed to the...
My car is missing the parking brake lever and the carpeted surrounding cover.
Any help appreciated.
