Volvo engine based on Renault K4M design?

[Valentin_N]

I'm currently searching for a metal intake manifold for my K4M turbo project.
I've heard some guys say that the Volvo B4164S 1.6 from the first generation S40 might be based on the K4M. The S40 was based on Mitsubishi Charisma platform, but the Charisma used a totally different 1.6, one that has the exhaust at the fron of the engine and intake at the rear (Mitsubishi 4G9)
My guess the 1.6 from Volvo is either their own design or it's something carried over from their earlier collaboration with Renault.

Does this look familiar to the K4M?

no that's 1000% different, why not use the manifold from a twingo RS or similar?

Chadil k4m itb manifold, spacers and turbo plenum from Jenvey. Awesome

@Fred: Well, I'd like a short manifold that stays at the front of the engine bay. I don't want the plenum to be at the back, right on top of the exhaust manifold and turbo.
@519: thanks for the tip, I'll look into that.

Regarding the Volvo engine, I've searched more into the subject, it turns out the electronics side is sourced from Ford so
Regardless, I'll check in with a friend who has access to a parts program at his car shop, I'll check to see which other engines share the same gaskets as the Volvo one Even better, I'll search which engines share the same intake gasket with the K4M.

it would be on top of the engine with the twingo RS (baby 172/182/197 basically) nothing worng with that!
