Has anyone bike carb'd their ibiza?

[ibiza_95]

as title... has anyone actually ever bike carb'd their mk2 ibiza? Im thinking along the lines of the 2l / 1.8 versions...

im doing the same thing to a mk1 golf running an ABF engine, but its the same engine as some of the GTi's so figured someone might have done it on theirs?

Nice and easy to do in all honesty but cant remember anyone on here ever doing it

Why would you wanna do it? Bike Carbs suck for driveability and don't usually gain you much in outright power. Better off going throttle bodies and ecu such as megasquirt.

considered it but stuck the standard manifolds on to make sure i'd bolted it together properly first and to be honest couldn't be arsed after that

 

[ibiza_95]

haha... ive just made up an inlet manifold for some zx9r carbs thatll fit an ABF engine.
Ignition controller and dizzy off a mk2 KR engine and thats all thats needed for it

Yep I second that. What are you waiting for?? You will be the 1st to do it.

Oh and get a video posted when your done.

And as was said Good skills.

ha, not for the ibiza im affraid... its for my mk1 golf
tho im putting the ABF engine in the golf which is the same as the ibiza 16vs

 

[Damoegan]

Get it on the ibiza until the mk1 is ready then swop it over

i swapped the ABF in the ibiza for a 1.8T... i think 300+bhp is better than a 2l on bike carbs anyway

I forgot about that

I'll get my coat....

looks sweet mate!
what was needed? how much altogether/power figures (estimated of course lol)
bet it sounds SCHWEEETTT!!

 

[ibiza_95]

made it all myself, but a break down of the cost would be to convert the ABF

Carbs: 50
180 Jets: 12
Throttle accessories: 5

Inlet flange: 40
Inlet gasket: 8
Stainless steel for runners: 15
Welding: 45
Silicone hose and clips: 15

KR ignition controller: 25
KR distributor: 25

Thats pretty much it... that should see around 170/180 horse and more if tuned

You can make most of that back by selling the inlet off the ABF... simples

also if not tuned well... youll see in the region of 20mpg

thanks alot for that mate! you might have to make a build thread, as i will still be a n00b (might be others too)
that's quite cheap to be fair!

KR ignition controller: 25
KR distributor: 25

interested how you use these in the setup, was originally gonna run an omex ecu off the original sensors and coilpack ignition when i looked at it.

need more piccies to dribble over

 

[ibiza_95]

ha, the dizzy and ignition controller control just the spark. Kr dizzy fits in the ABF head, and then the controller takes an advance off the inlet, then sparks as and when. Really is that simple...

my mate did EXACTLY the same conversion and i helped along the way so im pretty fluent with what needs doing

 

[Fl@pper]
