Superchargin my 1.4 The ibiza is EURO

[tony100]

It sound stupid and ur all probaly goin to laugh... but i have managed to locate a cheep bmw mini superchager naw ive been told its a eaton charger?? how would i go bout doin all the correct stuff to get it running nice?? this is the back end of my car as it stands

Haha. Ok. You need alot of work!

Firstly brakes, suspension and your chassis should be looked at.

Then you need to bring the compression ratio down. You can just put another 2 head gaskets in i think.

YOu need to uprate your fueling. More air, needs more fuel. Im not too sure how you could do this.

You need to buy an intercooler and get that piped up into the front bumper.

You need to build a bracket to put the eaton m46(i think this is the one you have) on. It needs to be perfectly inline.

And ofcoarse you need a belt.

I would just buy a different car.

too much work in my opinion.

You need a few things doing in order to claim 'euro' status too lol

like removing the DTM mirrors !!!

 

[WeeJase]

are you going to fit it to the rear end of your car?

 

[Mckellar]

like remove tints/mirrors/exhaust/door handles/aerial/plastic

I would see it working.... it wouldn't make a massive power delivery from the car, but it could be interesting.

you would need to junk the engine management, and run aftermarket - and I'm not sure if you can easily change the injectors (but that's the least of your worries)

 

[jaketalbot]

would be interesting, nice idea but just buy a cupra, or save for a mk3 turbo. thats what i'm heading towards.

 

[chris285]

not worth it imo, i have a 1.4 mk2 myself but hoping to go purchase a mk4 fr tdi this weekend from the local dealers

 

[wilz]

not worth it, i have 1.4 mk2 also, just save up for a cupra thats what i am doing.

 

[jenk]

Wasnt there a 1.4 turbo on here from greece??

Would be interesting, if you have the balls do it. I have a little plan involving a charger and a similar sized engine.

Oh and that word again.......Euro!!!

 

[MarkJ]

As everyone has said, its going to be a load of work and expense too I would imagine. Wouldn't mind seeing the results though.

 

[rocket_ronnie]

would you be fitting all the parts yourself or getting a garage to do it as i dare say they'll charge alot.

 

[Dolly_Gti]

Get a GTI engine in it and supercharge that... going to be easier in the long run one thinks.

 

[Chrisdaman]

yup will be

1.4 8v is a bit pointless to charge i think, a turbo would be more fun to do on a 1.4

 

[jenk]

The g40's a 1.3, would people call that pointless

 

[Chrisdaman]

touche but then look at the weight of the car, about half that of a mk2 beeza, so the power to weight is amazing

 

[jenk]

extra 100cc
