As far as Volvo and Peugeot having emissions on their cars being an
attraction, that can't be entirely accurate. The Renault motor is 2975cc
vs. 2849 for P & V. The R motor lacks the right bank cam balancer. But as
far as emissions, more than the 126cc disp. difference is an entirely
different FI and ignition system. Both the ZN3J and B280F are almost
identical in that area, Bosch LH-Jet and EZK. The Monaco/Eagle uses some
crappy Renix (Renault-Bendix) systems that don't run as well and certainly
has have different emission characteristics.
