My FIRST rebuild S40 T4 P1

[PiratepeteT4]

Hi Rick,

Whatvwould you like to know? I found my tracking was slipping on the front and blue bushes are a direct replacement for the stock rubber bushes and Mitsubishi FTO ( per 97 ) fit perfectly. The yellow inners are again from a Mitsubishi evo are direct fit, I didnt want/need extra castor but there was no extra cost. I won't make too much difference at low speed by higher speed on the motor way will be a bit twitchy. I intend on bushing the rear lateral/trailing arms but that's a bit more of a pain and more expensive lol

Sounds good Pete im working on the idea of the Evo engine mount but poly bushed ive got Evo lower gearbox mounts that are polybushed already.

Oh cool! I can send you all the links if you like?

I didn't think at the evo gearbox bushes fitted? I've got evo three lower engine mounts and Christ and it rattles haha but in all seriousness the throttle response is awesome it's practically instant.

I have the PFF-108 (Evo 4,5,6 ) on the front an rear but you can but a The PFF-106 (Evo 4,5,6 ) on the rear. The front is bigger then the far do if you want the same size then you meet the carrier off a P2.

Hope this helps, you seen my pics of the change over?

Hi Pete and sorry for my bad English. I admire you for your project and find useful things with your permission I would use. For now, I care how you connected the four coils. Originally my 2.0T has only two coils. I guess the other two are connected in parallel to the first two. Is that right?
Greetings from Bulgaria.

Hi Pete pics would be great ive loads of jobs to do yet as well like fit my 4 pot calipers lol.How are you managing to run 4 coil packs?

[PiratepeteT4]

The 4 coils were wired into a home made loom running off a vems ecu with launch control etc..

At present I'm running a phase1 steel bottom ended t4 engine with 2.0 n/a cams

Rick if you go back through my thread you will see the bottom engine mounts.

Here you go Rick

Leaving this


Leaving this....



Turns out with any half decent tool its a bit of a b***h.....who knew!

I can confirm that the PFF-108 (Evo 4,5,6 ) bush is the rear mount and not the front ( DOH! ) but it just means I can do both at the same time now



Front bush with rear polybush, its about 2mm-3mm smaller but you get the idea

Several minutes of battered fingers and swearing later on the phone to Firebolt ( Kenny )



Tomorrow the front bush will arrive with another rear bush pre pressed by Firebolt ( Kenny )

While I have the front up I give the underside a little clean with some degreaser as I spy staining on towards the TBV

More pics to follow

Hi Pete i used the Evo 7,8,9 mounts on the front and rear.The front was easy and the rear took some persuading
