seat ibiza 1.4 16v 100bhp 02 plate

Is there nothing you can do to tune it up engine wise except air filter, cold air injection and a performance exhaust ? i've been looking around and no body will touch the engine with remapping or chips or anything just because its a 1.4 standard petrol engine...

seems like i need a 1.8T to get anywhere with a tune up =(

Yeah put a 20vt in it or just get cupra.

Sounds about right mate. The 1.4 is pretty untunable apart from air filters etc. Go for handleing mods to make the most of what speed you can get going into corners and carrying that speed on. Coilovers, strut braces and ARB's are the best places to start

Reckon i could fit a 1.8 engine into it ? coz i got loads of space under my hood

 

[cupramillo]

to be honest mate with the amount of work involved your better off just buying a cupra. Save yourself the time, money and hassle, unless you like a challenge?

 

[Wells507]

20vt ?

 

[Wells507]

lol yea appieiciate it more if its hard to do

 

[cupramillo]

thats what the 1.8t is called, 20valve turbo

also is yours a mk4 ? they dont make 1.4 16v mk3's...
so you may want to ask in the mk4 sub section forum

 

[Adam R]

why did you douple post this subject ?

 

[s1l3nc3r]

there is no point putting a 20vt in just buy a cupra be cheaper... The insurance would be more aswell because it would be seen as heavily modified over standard power etc...

 

[antnee]

Would need LOADS changing, buying a cupra would be miles easier and cheaper
