Euro'd Ibiza 2.0l 16v Cupra Sport

[F2 Stu]

Does an ADL have a crank trigger?

It'll be listed in the log book what capacity it is.

 

[roly]

im gonna say it's the 1.8 16v (just found your pics)

reason i say that is the rubber intake pipe on the 1.8 16v is different the the pipe on the 2.0 16v

the temp sensor and isv pipe are housed on the inlet pipe on the 1.8 where as there on the airbox on the 2.0

another couple of bits the 1.8 had was a 2.0 8v style spoiler and 256mm front discs

pic below is my old 2.0 16v engine

my engine looks identical to yours though, feels quicker than a 1.8

 

[F2 Stu]

DVLA & RAC says 1.8 too

You can tell we're bored

 

[roly]

the pipe from the airbox to the throttle body is the bit that gives it away

mine is different to yours, also i think the distributor timing was adjustable on 1.8 and not on 2.0

Stu

not sure on the sensor side can't remember

 

[roly]

bored or sad

my 1.8 16v was bloody quick aswell, certainly faster than anything else my mates owned at the time

 

[Chrisdaman]

lol

i was getting excited about having a 2.0l 16v ah well, supercharging it will make more of a difference than i thought

1.8 16v out of a corrado would be a KR engine with mechanical injection, where as the 1.8 16v in an ibiza would have EFI.

I thought the 1.8 versions of the Ibizas were the same as the mk2 golf lump. Or is the golf lump a KR engine as well??

EDIT: one way of definitely telling is if you drive my car and compare it to yours. I'll be at Uni till Saturday doing nothing so just ring me or something

 

[Chrisdaman]

the mk2 golf lump is a KR lump

the question is, what next? i get paid tomorow and will have money burning a hole in my pocket couple of choices

Angel Eyes (£123 off fleabay) + HID bulbs (the ones Mig has) £75 inc postage
High Flow Sports De-Cat and stainless exhaust

any other ideas would be great

also how much is a Megasquirt ECU?

Depends how much money you'll have. As for the angel eyes, the chrome ones IMO look really chavvy, and the black ones could be interesting but are hard to get in RHD. I can DEFINITELLY recommend spending the £70 on the HIDs, you won't regret it.

If you want performance, then either go for some cams and get your self a straight through pipe and just put the Cat on for the MOT. problem is you'll only get higher top end performance in turn for a bit of a loss in the low down grunt.

I know it sounds a bit boring, but might be an idea to get your cambelt done if it hasn't been done before.

Also maybe a B&M short shift might be an idea.

 

[Chrisdaman]

yer all wise ideas

think the cambelt was done in the last service, not too long ago
found some R/H/D black angel eyes:

might just put the money towards supercharging the beast

got my bonnet bra today, £71 from www.autobra.co.uk

 

[Czechboy]

Give it a bit of a stretch on the right handside so that its not over hanging over the headlight and it should look spot on. Its just that the angle you took the photos at make it look like it goes half way up the bonnet,lol.

 

[Chrisdaman]

i know my mate said that, i was just trying to straighten it out, it came folded, it looked good when i made it tighter, will be on for the mk2 convoy

 

[Cupra_Jay]

car is looking lovely mate, liking the bonnet bra aswell! i have got that super resin polish aswell, is some good stuff!

 

[NoShowJustAllGo]

just to set the record straight.

Its an ADL 1.8 16v GTi (is says so on the vin plate) and yeah the cambelt was done on the last service along with the clutch.

Its my old motor!!!

By the way its looking great keep up the good work looks nicer on those rims

 

[Chrisdaman]

cheers mate, it's such an upgrade over the polo, i love it

big plans for it mate
