Seat Ibiza Cupra

Revo has a 151kW/ 270Nm tune for the 1.4. Should go ok.

the only thing i'm worried about here is the 1.4L. The Polo GTI gets an APR claimed 152kW/328Nm tune with plenty of room on top of that for improvement. It never feels as though the engine is straining under the extra power.

I'm not too sure the 1.4L will be able to take the extra power as well as the 1.8L. I just have this feeling that once chipped with this REVO flash, the engine will be under some serious strain and almost be at its limits.

Does anyone know otherwise??

and as you said Flaps, ~50Nm less than chipped Polo GTI

Cheers,
Rhys

Yep, sure does. I imagine it would have to be done at the same time, otherwise the ECU would have a cry about a different pulley (different boost, airflow etc).

The supercharger kicks in first followed by turbo me thinks

50Nm<Polo

Surely a custom 3" dump will fix that...combined with a 3" pulley perhaps

I'd be willing to bet it puts on 100-150kgs over current Polo. Cars start off small(ish) and get fatter and fatter.

yeah it probably will put on weight, maybe not 100-150kgs cos that would make it around the weight of a Golf V GTI but maybe somewhere between 50-100.

as for the small cars getting fatter and fatter as they evolve....what better example than the Golf.... mk1 vs mk5 weight

I saw an original VB Commodore driving along next to a current model Corolla yesterday and couldn't believe that the Corolla actually looked bigger!

In the 1968 Corolla, you could kiss your gf without leaning over, they were so small.

If you tried to reach back to get something off the back seat, you elbowed your passenger in the face.

my old 81 corolla still sits out the front of my house.. its sooo tiny inside and out compared to my mums 2003 'rolla. i can grab something off the rear parcel shelf without leaving the drivers seat

The only reference to weight for the new Ibiza is a reduction....so I am not sure why people mention a 100-150kg weight gain for a new Polo?

Man, the E70 you have is HUGE compared to the E10

I remember reading what the torque limits were for the new 7sp DSG...but can't find them. Anyone know?

You probably won't need so much torque anyway, with a 7sp DSG.

It could be a hoot!

An, as for relative sizes of cars, did I mention the size of my old Cooper s, relative to the reprise. And there's a classic old original Fiat 500 outside my office ATM...makes the new one look a real lard. Of course, a decent pushbike represents a danger to the old 500...in power and mass!

i think the body will be heavier, since it grows in size. But wont the 1.4 TSI be lighter than the current 1.8T?
