Re: Check out this V40 @ SEMA ! ALL 2003

I like the end of the piece of text: "..it's something Volvo ought to actually build"

They do.. It's called the T4 :)

You guys get rid of the silly EPA/DOT rules and you'll get it too :)

It is probably a lot easier these days to convert the US Phase-II 1.9T to T4 spec though as the engine-size is now the same (both 1948cc).

You 'just' need to lower the compression a bit, change the turbo compressor trim and use a different ECU map to give you 14PSI in stock trim or crank it up to 18PSI rightaway. (with a bigger downpipe, exhaust, etc. etc..)

Gearbox should be OK with the power, although the gearing may be off a little compared to a 'real' T4.

Now.. Who feels adventurous and swaps the AW slushbox out for an M56 manual :)

Bye, Arno.
