Little Ibiza TDI. With a Big Bite... Full Engine Rebuild. Hope soon to be 300BHP

Been a long long time since iv put anything up in here. So fort was about time i showed you some sneaky peeks of whats to come with my little ibiza

When it came off the road earlier in the year it was sitting nicely at 270bhp and 406lb/ft. Was a grate car to drive and really surprised a lot but after a small miss hap with the injector and piston No4 i pulled it off the road.

At that point was a toss up, fix and get rid, go full out and keep. As it still gets 55+ MPG and iv got my MK1 golf project and drifting to do. I thought was a bad time to lose such a good daily. So full rebuild it was.....

How it sat this time last year




When i got it in the garage



With the damage found it was time to get the engine out.





quick pick of the damage




Whilst it was all apart and with me going for more power i thought it rude not to get the head done. So off it went for a full port and polish, over sized valves and extended bronze valve guides. I sourced some uprated valve springs, strengthened retainers, and black top lifters ready for the build up





Then was time for new injectors. I went for uprated Firad nozzles on pd150 body's




This is were the pics get really bad. I know you were prob thinking it was bad enough as it was
Always been one to get carried away doing rather than taking pics.

My custom fuel filter set up. 1micron filter off a CAT with billet top and speed flow fittings



lots of stuff missing pic wise. But the list includes.... All new gaskets seals and bolts from VW, FM fuel cooler, re-wired and sheathed loom, new inlet, big FMIC, direct port water methanol injection the list gos on and on.


I will get new pics and updates very soon. the engine is built in and ready to run iv just gotta sort the new battery location and FMIC pipe work

STAY TUNED

Cheers for the replys guys.

Was very tempting because of the big bang for buck, but im going down the custom road now. Need a set up that im shore will make over 340bhp

You got a cam in mind?

cheers guys. yer hoping will be a bit special.

awesome!! i thought i was brave just looking for 220+ lol!
what injectors are you two using?

Click to expand...

There Firad nozzles on pd150 body's. There basically bigger nozzles on the old body's. United Diesel are the ones to speak to.
They do nozzles that can range from 15% more fuel than stn all the way to 100%

Whats different about the inlet? Just opposite way around for FMIC piping?

Mirror image of the old one so that i can use a single pass FMIC and the least pipework poss. Has also been fully ported and machined for 4 methanol injectors.

Bit more than a leak on the front mount, its blown the core lol

I had a spare 150 manifold kicking about so swapped it for that one on tdi club. Iv got so much stuff for the pd it unreal now, 3 sets of 150 injectors a couple of blocks and heads. Really should pull my finger out and sell some of it. Would be nice to be able to fund my Mk1 again lol

The filter is going to sit behind the O/S fog light.

hey matey
thanks for the link for united diesels..will give them a ring on monday
sorry to kinda change your topic a little but i need injectors for my ibiza...the requested fuel and actual fuel are like 20 units apart!
massively underpowered for a FMIC/hybrid 130turbo (only 185bhp and 390nm!)
not looking for massive power like yourself but how easy is it to put the pd150 injectors on? and how much would you want for a set of them?

It's very easy. Have a look on tdi club there are lots of tutorials on there. It's very easy tho.

Probs about £110each

But would be worth checking the part numbers on yours as some 130 and 150 injectors are the same. Then agen if yours are that far out I would have a good look in to them.

Any pictures of your new TIP? Which side of the bay is your air filter going to be sitting at?

Also, what filter are you using?

Looking at doing something very similar intercooler wise, as mines now blown the core too.

No more pics at present. Never been good ap keeping that side of things up to date lol

The filter will be behind the passenger side fog. The pipework will go up and in on the left side were the stn boost pipe gos now.

Will prob use a jetex or apexi filter

cheers

Hoping to do another big update soon. Needs to be on the road and leading a group to Le Mans in June

What i can say is now that the new turbo spec is sorted and being built i have been able to sort lots more goodies and will be able to sell some of my old parts soon.

Hush hush about the turbo. Only a hand full of people know what it is.


Yer I'm Already on top of it with regards to colt.

Just waiting for all the parts to arrive now. It's been a long wait and only a couple of more months now till I can start shake down
