Renault 1.7 L engine and Volvo B17 engine The well known B17 and its derivatives... First I have to admit that I do not have a faintest clue when Renault developed this 1.7 litre engine. I'm 100% it was in Renault 19. The engine had two Solexes and approximately 95 hp. It had funny sound (metal like as all Renaults) and difficulties with hot start (according to some magazines testing it). Otherwise low fuel consumption, easy maintenance and longevity. One of important minuses was the torque distribution through Rpm's. When Volvo (actually the ex DAF factory in Netherlands as a part of Volvo) put the new 400 series on the market they took this engine. But it was modified and evaluated a whole class higher as its Renault ancestor. The B17 was born. With Siemens multipoint FI (why not Bosch LH-jetronic??) and later cat, and so on... Simultaneously Volvo changed the bore of B17, think it was still 1.7 although it had a bit less than 1.8 L (from 1.721 to 1.794). The compression ratio was lowered from 10.0 (102 hp) to 9.7 (90 HP) Why? Well, because they were trying solve the torque problem. This "overbored" engine had 90 hp instead of 102 hp and a carburettor. Later this was changed to monopoint FI (Siemens or Bosch?). Adding turbo charger seems like next step. And they did it. The B17T (or B17FT) had 120 hp and 175 Nm torque at 3300 RPM. (the 102 HP had 142 Nm at 3.900 RPM and the 90 HP 140 Nm at lower 2500 RPM). Note, that turbo was always 1.721 litre and had a compression ratio of 8.1. Model year 93/94 came with new 2.0 litre from the same platform. The engine had 110 hp and 165 Nm torque. Models were named GLE / GLT 2.0. Interesting that Renault also developed this engines further. They overbored it to 1.8 litre. It had (or still has? Megane has 1.6 l with 90 HP and no 1.8 l engine) 95 hp and 145 Nm torque at 2750 RPM; actually same max. power but better torque as the first one. Then they changed the FI; scrubbing maybe max. for civil 1.8 (remember that driveability decreases with increasing hp) 113 hp and 164 Nm torque at 4250 RPM. This engine (with 95 hp) is still used in Renault Laguna 1.8 . Laguna 2.0 has the same engine that was mentioned before ; 2.0 l; but with 115 hp and 172 Nm torque at 3500 RPM. And another one, I didn't know about until recently; It's the 1,6l engine made out of good old 1.7l. Again why? Some countries have very strange tax classes (as this country had before 1992 ). This engine was producing 83 hp at 5500 RPM. I believe this is at least 80% of the B17 story. written by J.U.
