16v Cupra

[V666]

The project begins.





After rear ending a Civic yesterday I thought its time to take the Ibiza off the road and start the rebuild.

First on the job list engine overhaul to also include abit more punch!

Bad new about running into a civic, great new about the project starting though! woot!

Can't wait for this, it'll be proper by the time it's done!

I like these things. Good luck with the fix.

[V666]

Yeah cheers guys, bit gutting smacking it, but its the push I needed!! Just weighing up different conversions and options on the abf at the mo. At the top is either 16v g60 with BBM charger or high revving 16v on Jenvey throttle bodies with massive head work.

[mk3pete]

its 17 rowell drive, just follow grieg round into pittway youll see the Veolia van on the drive

[GoLfMan]

awesome dude!
really looking forward to seeing progress

I vote for an off its head NA set up on throttles

[V666]

TB's are cheaper even with the custom manifold etc, also I think BHP per $ would be better than the charger. Although the sound of a charger whistling and chirping is something I miss!! (but not the repair bills )

[V666]

Throttle bodies it has to be, been looking at different setups i.e motor bike carbs etc, looks like it will be the Jenveys as they offer the most bhp gains. Just gotta deceide on what cams and how much head work, and if the bottom end needs improving etc etc. Gonna need some advice i think?!

[Jarred]

Woot! charger would have been mean, but ITB's are like nothing else!
