The Lancia 828 B7.000 is a 1,995 cc, inline‑four petrol engine produced between 1985 and 1994. It features a dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) layout and electronic fuel injection, delivering outputs between 103–118 kW (140–160 PS) and 186–206 Nm of torque. Its twin — cam design enables precise valve control for responsive performance across the rev range.
Fitted primarily to the Delta HF integrale and late — model Beta variants, the 828 B7.000 was engineered for spirited dri…
Production years 1985–1989 meet pre-Euro standards; 1990–1994 models meet Euro 1 standards .
The Lancia 828 B7.000 is a 1,995 cc inline‑four petrol engine engineered for performance hatchbacks and coupes (1985-1994). It combines DOHC architecture with electronic fuel injection to deliver responsive, high-revving power. Designed to meet Euro 1 standards for later models, it balances rally heritage with road usability.

The Lancia 828 B7.000 was used across Lancia's Delta and Beta platforms with transverse mounting. This engine received platform-specific adaptations-reinforced engine mounts in the HF integrale for rally use-and from 1990 the introduction of catalytic converters for emissions compliance, creating minor ECU mapping differences. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
The 828 B7.000's primary reliability risk is timing belt tensioner pulley failure, with elevated incidence in high-mileage or neglected service vehicles. Lancia internal reports indicated a notable failure rate after 70,000 km if not proactively replaced, while general mechanic surveys note distributor cap and rotor wear as a frequent cause of misfires. Extended service intervals and low-quality fuel make adherence to the maintenance schedule critical.
Analysis derived from Lancia technical bulletins (1985-1994) and general automotive repair data. Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The 828 B7.000 is a robust engine with a simple, proven design. Its main Achilles' heel is the timing belt system; failure to replace it at 60,000 km can lead to expensive repairs. With strict adherence to the service schedule, particularly for the belt, distributor, and cooling system, these engines can easily surpass 200,000 km.
The most frequent issues are timing belt tensioner pulley failure, worn distributor caps/rotors causing misfires, clogged fuel injectors, and coolant leaks from the water pump or hoses. These are well-documented in Lancia service bulletins and common knowledge among specialists.
This 2.0L petrol engine was primarily used in the performance-oriented Delta HF integrale (160 PS) from 1987-1991. It also powered the final iterations of the Beta Coupe and HPE (140 PS) from 1985 until their discontinuation in 1987.
Yes, moderately. Common upgrades include a performance exhaust, high-flow air filter, and ECU remapping, which can yield 10-15% more power. More aggressive tuning requires internal modifications. Its robust bottom end makes it a good candidate for mild performance enhancements.
Fuel economy is moderate for its era. Expect around 9.5-10.5 L/100km (27-25 mpg UK) in combined driving for the 160 PS HF integrale. The 140 PS Beta variants may achieve slightly better figures, around 9.0-9.5 L/100km (31-30 mpg UK), depending on driving style and condition.
No. The 828 B7.000 is a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt breaks, the pistons will not collide with the valves, preventing catastrophic internal damage. However, the engine will stop running and require a new belt to operate.
Lancia originally specified SAE 10W-40 mineral oil meeting API SG/CD standards. A high-quality modern semi-synthetic or full synthetic 10W-40 (or 5W-40) meeting ACEA A3/B4 specifications is perfectly suitable and may offer better protection.
