Seat ibiza ko4 build

Yeah haha I received my forge one on Thursday and Mathew upload his Friday :banghead:

Gunna sell the forge one still packaged so hopefully it goes. Track slag pipe will be between 130-150 Mathew reckons. I'll try and sell the forge one for 80-90 quid

Can't turn em down at 70 quid :D

In need of some parts if anyone could help me out .??
I need the metal water pipe that runs in front of the engine. And the gearbox linkage bracket that sits on top of the gearbox.?

Is there any other items I could replace these with?
Or even better if anyone is breaking an ibiza?

Cheers craig.

Ah poop. When I got the car it was in bits. And these are the parts that are missing. I've found an s3 metal water pipe might just buy that. No idea if it fits though.

Picked up most of my parts in Sunday. The work will hopefully continue next Monday for it to be finnished.

I'm also toying with the idea of fitting a triangular style bonnet vent. One that sinks into the bonnet above the light where the air filter will be.
Thoughts?

A great thread so far. Just shows what most people go through when owning cars. Usually it's the drive that convinces them to keep their cars, so hopefully the work will continue and you'll be able to enjoy the drive sometime soon :)

Had a productive day on the ibiza.

Fitted my 2.5 track slag downpipe. Which was an easy fit. Glad I went for this and not the 3" space looks very tight as it is.


Also fitted the modified heater matrix pipes. I found that a standard coolent hoses that I had spare had a nice u-bend in it and fitted perfectly under the 80mm tip.


I also moved the abs pump bracket over to allow more space for the tip and undone a couple of the brake pipes to move them up. It's in but I might need to make more room when it comes to fitting the air filter etc.


Next on the list is the oil return feed for the turbo.
I might use a braided pipe to get it to fit where I need.

I also have just purchased a bam engine loom. I just missed out on the ecu by 3 seconds on eBay. I'm going to upgrade the ecu etc to allow the egt sensor to work as it should. Plus all the toys. Launch control, flat shift and gear based boost.
Anyone done the conversion?
 
Purchased a new bam charge pipe. I've decided against a cold side relocation . Getting stuck on how to make the oil return feed from the turbo.
How did you do yours chambers?

The oil return was a pig to figure out.

Bam one doesn't fit as it hits the engine mount arm off the back of the block.
I used the top half of the k04 line and cut the sump end off and joined the sump end of the k03 line to the top half of the k04 line using high temp/oil resistant silicone hose lol I had beads welded on so I knew the silicone hose had no chance of coming off.

But I reckon the K04 line might fit if you use this engine mount arm

That's what I had planed to try anyway. There's pics in my thread I think.
