	v6 - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		It is the second most common engine configuration in modern cars after the straight-4; it shares with that engine a compactness very suited to the popular front wheel drive layout, and is becoming more popular as car weights increase.
		V6 engines that are converted from V8 engines often have three shared crankpins arranged at 120 from each other, similar to a inline 3-cylinder with two pistons per crankpin.
		This engine saw a new evolution in 1966 when it was adapted to road use and produced by a Ferrari-Fiat joint-venture for the Fiat Dino and Dino 206 GT (this car was made by Ferrari but sold under the brand Dino).

	V6
		Such a 'split' crankpin is weaker than a straight one, but modern materials and manufacturing give a crankshaft that is quite strong enough.
		Early on, it was popular to use a 120° V angle, to make the engine fit as low as possible inside the car.
		Another use of the V6 was the Renault-Gordini CH1 V6, designed by François Castaing and Jean-Pierre Boudy, and introduced in 1973 in the Alpine-Renault A440.

	The Douvrin PRV V6 Resource Centre
		The origins of the PRV V6 -engine lay in the contract of April 1966 where Peugeot and Renault agreed for a partnership in manufacture of common mechanical parts.

		In 1985, the PRV V6 appeared in the new Volvo 780 Coupe.

		The DeLorean's PRV (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo) engine is know as a hearty and long lasting engine.

		On an air-mass metered turbo engine, the ideal placement of the turbo is between the meter and the throttles.
		Of these engines, the 25 turbo/GTA engine is the most interesting when compared to the DeLorean engine because it shows distinct characteristics in common with the DeLorean engine and gives us an insight into where Legend may have been heading with their conversion work.

		Although the engine was less powerful, its nimble handling made it better the 911 in rally races.
		Precise gearchange, smooth and little-lag engine, eager noise, exceptionally supple ride and a class-leading roomy cabin (it was famous of able to carry 4 adults for long journey) made it a perfect sports car for daily use.
		Its straight-six engine employed a strong crankcase, 7 main bearings such that vibration was virtually eliminated (by the standard of then).

		The DeLorean engine is a Peugeot Renault Volvo V6 (PRV-6) 2849cc Bosch K-Jet fuel injected SOHC 90 degree V6.
		Again, this has been fitted to several stock engines and does not come as part of the upgrade, however fitting of the system is free if having it done at the time of the upgrade (does not include gasket kit).
		Our engine comes with a bespoke chargecooler which keeps intake pipework short and the heat exchanger is mounted at the front of the car between the rock screen and the condenser - immediately in the frontal air flow.

		The rear engine ensured that a majority of weight would be over the back wheels — the actual bias was 35/65 per cent front-to-rear — and to tame this Lotus had provided 195/6OHR-14in tyres on 6in rims at the front, but 235/6OHR-15in tyres on 8in rims at the rear.
		The engine is, of course, a Peugeot/Renault/Volvo V6, in Volvo 2.85 litre Bosche K-Jetronic fuel injection trim.
		The PRV engine, which has the great virtue of being a proven power plant, is a smooth performer overall and reasonably pleasant to live with.

	Proportional Valves target off-highway equipment industry., Sauer-Danfoss
		The valves were developed by design engineers from Reggio Emilia, Italy and Hillsboro, Oregon, USA, to meet the needs of international manufacturers of aerial lift and material handling vehicles.
		The PRV also has a maximum relief pressure when no signal is supplied to the valve, which allows pressure protection even when there is a loss of electrical input.
		Sauer-Danfoss Inc. is a worldwide leader in the design, manufacture and sale of engineered hydraulic and electronic systems and components, for use primarily in applications of mobile equipment.

		This engine should be mated with an alloy gearbox with gear-ratios suitable for the cars weight, wheel-sizes, the engines caracteristics and what you intend to use the car for (everyday or racing, maybe something in between?).
		Having seen my Espace's 24v PRV engine stored in the back of the car while the front end was rebuilt I find it hard to believe it would actually fit into a Murena, although a couple of prototype Murena PRV's were built shortly after Matra stopped building the car.
		There are two variants of PRV V6's: The old 90 degrees 12 valve V6 and the new (in Espace post 1998) 60 degrees 24 valve V6.

	RWD - 780, Lot of information and links.
		The '91 780s come with the later Turbo++, but it was the last year for the 780 and only 500 cars were made and all of them were shipped to the USA (all 500 were turbos since the B280 V6 had been discontinued at the end of 1990).
		These 1st and 2nd generation PRV-6 engines had small oil passegeways to the camshafts that could easily become clogged if oil changes were missed, -and thus cause the unusually soft cams would wear down and cause the engine to self-destruct.
		The B280 block is water jacketed engine, is a bit wider, all the spark plugs are easily accessed from the top, and there's no turbocharger to maintain.

		Periodically, the car does not start easily (engine turns for about 20 to 30 seconds)when the engine is hot and the car has been standing for say 30 mins.
		Run the engine and then immediately remove the return line off the fuel pressure regulator (soft rubber hose held by clamp) and see if any fuel continues to drip out of regulator.
		Can be due to inferior grade fuel, excessive engine temperature, faulty plug, intake system leakage or engine carbonization (due to frequent cold start and idling).

	DeLorean Motor Company (Texas) - Torque Curve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The stock DeLorean engine (known as the PRV V-6 because of it’s Peugeot/Renault/Volvo heritage) while a fantastically reliable powerplant when properly maintained, has never been able to provide performance to match the sporty looks of the DeLorean Sports Car.
		Engine swaps are never desirable in a classic or collectible automobile, and the DeLorean is no exception in that regard.
		The first phase of engine program, referred to as “Stage II”, has has impressive results, accomplished through a less restrictive coated and polished exhaust, a change in camshafts and other proven tuning techniques.

		The best part of this car is its engine.
		When overtaking in 3rd gear, you'll have to listen carefully to detect any engine or exhaust sound at all.
		When the fuel-tank is less than half full and it's cold, the engine will start coughing a bit for a few seconds right after it has started.

		The B-23, B-230 engines are both turbocharged from the factory.
		With 189 posts and counting it digresses here and there but there is a lot of info about what it takes to build a turbo PRV V-6 and make the rest of the car live behind it by people that have actually done it and continue to race it.

		One of the highlights of the event this year was Marc Levy's newly modified Deloreans.
		Marc spent a fair amount on time dropping a Nissan Maxima 280hp engine and a Porsche 915 manual transmission into one of his Deloreans.
		Marc had no problems offering up a ride to anyone who was brave enough to ride shotgun in this car, and let us tell you (from first hand experiences) this car is amazingly fast and one heck of a ride to experience.
