k04 ibiza

[h17och]

I havnt posted much about this so i thought i would give you a quick update!

Basicly, i fired her up tonight for the first time since i started the conversion! (was noisey as i need an exhaust gasket!)
Hoping for it to be done tomorrow!

As for price its cost about £1000 plus the toys ive bought like boost controller etc! That £1000 is for, ko4, mani, tip, maf, injectors, air filter, dp, oil pipe that need replacing afew times out of error, all gaskets and bolts! i sold all my old turbo ,tip, dp etc for £700 so cost me around £300 once youve done the maths!

i will be getting pics up once its drivable so you can have a goosey

whats the peak power you hope to gain from this if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Scotty_b]

Get some pics up soon as you can matey

 

[David_smith_909]

sounds good mate, keep us posted

£300, bargain for ya

 

[h17och]

i have no idea about the power, im changing it again soon to a gt28rs k04 eliminator! ive been in contact with atp and we have sorted a little deal!!

i dont want to hope for figues so i dont get disapointed and figues are only rough anyway!

not sure how the clutch will like it tho!

whiles it been off the road ive done a few other mods too

Stubby drivers mirror,
hieght adjustable passenger seat,
aero wiper on the front,
battery in boot,
apexi avc-r (as mention above) flush in the dash,
stiped all my calipers and disc centres to bare metal and repainted them

my car is in big need of a wash as its covered in dust!

How dusty?

Shiney brakes

Ive got to go and get one before it goes in for a paint.

Hooch, couple of questions but i'll PM you!

 

[h17och]

stubby mirror was free! well sort of! done a deal with a lad from this site,he lives in netherlands. i sent him my passenger mmirror and he sent me his! we then both went on the hunt for a replacement passenger mirror! i got mine for £35

is it a k04-001, esentially a k03s? If it isnt i thought the propper k04 doesnt fit propperly as the exit pipes faces the bulkhead or the gearbox?

 

[Feel]

He changed the manifold to a K04-23 one...

 

[h17och]

its a proper k04 not a 001 one

not as easy as just changing it for the 023 mani! had to have a custom one made!

Latest news!


just got back from taking it for a spin and it is deadly, no traction in 1st, 2nd, and abit of 3rd but once your going its mad

will get pics up once i get a min!

Sounds good mate are you running that on a stage 2 revo or has it been custom mapped

 

[h17och]

on revo stge 2 at the min but ive a few things to sort out map wise, still not got the avcr connected and thats ment to make a difference!

need to sort timing and boost setting as they are pretty low at the mo!

gonna do sum logs when i get a min to see what i can find!

[jonesya3]

Ahh ok so do you think it was worth all the hassle in the end i no its taken you ages but sounds like the gains have been good

you have to make sure you get it rolling roaded mate before you move onto your new gt28rs kit

 

[m0rk]

hope you have a wideband lambda probe!

 

[davidol]

why you say that mork? in theory as long as hes running the same basic spec as say a LCR shouldnt it all run fine? or has he kept the ibiza ECU and running stage 2 ibiza code...would it be possible to run a leon ECU or not that easy, i doubt it but hey if u dont ask and all that!

My bad, I read you'd changed the manifold, assumed you meant to a stock 225 one.

Looking sweeeeeeet! you have worked hard on that mate, if you happen to be testing it out sometime near mk give me a ring

I need a new clutch

 

[jNx]

Glad to hear it taking shape mate!

I've got a gasket sitting here if you need it.. Gimme a call!

because the injector timing for an Ibiza code may well be totally different to that of an LCR - so it could be running rich, or maybe totally lean

I don't know, and because of that - I'd want a wide band on it.
