6 speed gearbox fit mk3 ibiza?

[mikey88]

hi everyone i have searched it but didnt find exactly what i wanted

ok just to start im thinkin off sorting my ride out have a 1.8 20vt ibiza with a revo stage 2 remap and a k04 hybrid turbo.

im looking to rip the engine apart and make it the best it can be. so here are a few things i have in mind,

putting a 6 speed gearbox in? but does it fit? from s3 etc.
Changing the clutch to a improved sporty one? any one got a good one in?
is there a way i can do something bout the power to the wheels?

im also gonna do a rebuild to my engine so has anyone done anything which your really please with i.e manifold etc.

i do apologise if anyone has talked bout this before but i have spent the last 45 minutes searching through and didnt find much on what i need to talk about and i would be very gratefull if u guys/girls can tell me the right way forward in this process.

Thanks for looking

02m 6spd wont fit as a bolt in unit.. S3 is 4wd 6spd box also.. but you know that right?
you can get 6spd gear kits to convert 02J box into 6spd.. SQS racing make these as do Quaife, in synchro and dog box formats

what power are you planning
whats your budget
std engine is adequate to low to mid 300bhp level..

Why do you want a 6 speed box also? It has no higher top speed, just takes more changes to get there.

I think a LSD would improve the grip/handling significantly, I always think this while trying to drive mine fast. If only I had the money to find out!

LSD makes a massive difference. Worth the money.

thanks for your reply guys.

ibizacupra: to be honest i didnt bout the s3 i fort it was 2wd silly me. im after bout 300 bhp maybe more but with my rebuild im gonna change pistons,rings,camshaft,valves anything i can do to make it more suffienct-give more beans my budget is endless butttt i don't wanna spend silly money, i can get labour for next to nothing so not worried bout that.

pj1985- no point having a 6 speed then. its only cos i think my gear box is on the way out, my car is on the 85k mark and i dont think it has been change just feels a bit rattly.

does anyone know who makes the lsd? and have you guys got one on?

Diff - Wavetrack (new), Quaife, Peloquin some options to consider
