B234
The B234 was a new 2.3 L (2290 cc) version with many changes. It was stroked by 12 mm to a square 90 mm bore and stroke. Also notable are the added balance shafts to smooth the large four's vibrations. The B234 was selected as one of Ward's 10 Best Engines for 1995 and 1996. 1996 saw the Ecopower variant added.
The B234 uses a cast iron block and aluminum DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads. It uses MFI fuel injection, comes in both turbocharged and non-turbocharged variants and the turbo-charged version has an intercooler, and features fracture-split forged steel connecting rods.
Specifications:
210Nm at 4300 rpm, 150 hp at 5700 rpm, 0-100: 8.5 sec, Top speed: 210 km/h
The only thing I can't find is whether the crankshaft and pistons are forged or not.
