What is the difference between the S50B32 and other S50 engines?

The S50B32 makes 236 kW (321 HP) and 350 Nm. The other S50 engines are: S50B30 with 210 kW (286 HP) and 320 Nm (1992 to 1995).

Engines in one family share a basic block, but the turbo, the injection, the sensors and the engine computer can differ. A higher power version often has different pistons, a bigger turbo or a different fuel system.

This is why we ask for the exact code. Fitting a different version can work, but the wiring, the software and sometimes the gearbox must be changed to match.
