This is my Volvo S40 T4 which I have owned for just over a year. It has 200 bhp standard, does 0-60 in 6.7 and is limited to 155 mph. It also has the B4194-T2 (less than 500 T4's have this engine).

Here are some pics before, during and after :

As it was when I got it and cleaned it up :

Very smart always had a soft spot for these as said its a wolf in sheeps clothing! Engine looks like a smaller version of the T5 lump even the boost pipe from the turbo takes a similar route! :cool:

Would be good to see it in the flesh at a meet sometime. :d

As I recently found out, it is. It's just 4 out of the 5 cylinders of a T5! I think they just took a bandsaw to it lol..
