Ibiza 1.4 16v turbo

[LasseHJ]

Hello everyone.

As the topic says im converting my ibiza into a turbo car.

Here is some pictures to begin with:

I got everything I need except an ECU. I have run a test drive with my original ECU, but when the ECU registers the pressure coming from the turbo, the engine turns off. I have been thinking about getting a piggyback. I have also tried out a old model of the MS, and that didn't work. But would a ECU from a Ibiza 1.8T work?
Do you guys know any piggybacks that would fit the original ECU perfectly or is it possible to get a ECU that would fit my engine ?

Thank you in advance.

you still using the drive by wire I guess? and plastic intake plenum?
what boost you planning on running with the high compression ratio of the engine?

cracking project this mate! all the best!

 

[LasseHJ]

thank you.

Yes i am.

I am aiming for 0.5 maybe 0.7 bar boost.

My compression ratio is 9.5 : 1 at the moment, with an extra top gasket.

do you know how much the whole turbo conversion is going to cost ?

and what bhp and torque figures you looking to get?

 

[LasseHJ]

so far 1571 US, but i still need the ECU/Piggyback... im not sure about the bhp and torque figures yet...

 

[daz_cymru]

for that money did you not consider a 1.8T engine transplant?

i doubt you will get as much bhp and torque out of your turbo

but never the less you have done a very good job =]

 

[jamiebennett81]

nice to see something different, and someone not sticking in the usual 1.8T transplant

fair play to you fella

I look forward to the results

I'm surprised you couldn't get MS to work, it's very simple.

 

[LasseHJ]

yeah, the insurance for the 1.8T transplant would cost me way to much comparing to a turbo conversion.
but thank you all for the support..

I couldn't get the MS to work because it was an old test model, and it didn't support CAN-BUS.

 

[daz_cymru]

fair enough....how old are you if you dont mind?....id like to do a supercharger conversion but cant find anyone to insure me

daz

 

[LasseHJ]

i am 21, but it sure its hard to get any kind of insurance at my age.

 

[daz_cymru]

yeeh lifes tough for the younger generation ...who are your insured with?

daz

 

[LasseHJ]

it is called "top danmark", a danish company...

 

[daz_cymru]

ooh cheers mate

 

[LasseHJ]

What do you guys think about this AEM Fuel / Ignition Controller (F/IC-6) piggyback. Would that be a good solution ?

What is the latest with the latest with the project. Just bought a M45 eaton to do a similar project and would like what controller you went with to manage the boost.

can you tell me what kind of injection pump and injectors have you used?I want to do the same thing to my ibiza and i can't find them
