This is avesome car. I got an '97 Ibiza GTi16V for my school leaving exam, but this haven't too good condition - ECU currently fixing.

400 horsepower @ FWD is good?

Had a good but very burning (Poor skin) time at inters on sunday so heres a few snaps from the day

Did some drag runs but didnt expect anything purely because its not mapped yet but was fun none the less

 

[simon_709]

yes indeedy

did it all at work so only cost me parts
all in all id say i spent around 1500 maybe a bit more on it... good fun tho

Very good quide! Enjoyed reading it and has given me some very helpful tips for when I do it

A few photos of the last clean before it doesnt get driven over winter I just cant justify ruining all the clean bits under the bonnet so i bought a little 106 to get me through winter

.64 ex housing for better spool and driveability... cant wait to get it on now and get it mapped finally

Would love to do something like this! I envy you, Ben. fairplay!

 

[gazcuprablk]

hi mate how much did you pay for the hotside? pm me if you want reason i ask is my turbo is internally gated and will be switching it to an externally gated one and would like to keep the .64 housing.

 

[ibiza_95]

i just bought a new turbo mate lol

but i was looking at £200 for a new hotside

+1!

This car really is awesome!! Bet it is abit of a beast aswell on the road!

 

[ather`s]

ben, are those stainless hose clamps any good? you reckon they would be any good on an exhaust instead of the U shaped clamps? just want something that looks better on a stainless exhaust rather than rusty U clamps!

if you come down to inters next year craig, you might see it!

 

[ibiza_95]

yea theyre good for exhausts infact i think thats what theyre designed for? will more than likely be at Inters but properly racing it this year as opposed to a gentle stroll down the strip

...
For anyone contemplating a .86 hotside over a .64 on a 1.8T GT2871R then deffinitely think twice!

Got the new hotsided turbo on and its incredible. Theres too much difference between the two in my eyes with respect to power delivery to even consider the .86 now...

Might have been a costly upgrade to the .64 but its deffinitely worth it in the long run i reckon

Now mapping time

Don't wana hear that sort of thing, haha how much earlier do you think boost comes on, I assume you're not losing power top end either?

 

[lexyy]

Was wondering what happened to this car! The feature on it was awesome as is the car!

Dayumm... yea its a massive difference, just the way the power is fed in really its more progressive and just generally better to drive with. Like if youre cruising and put your foot down the .86 used to just do nothing until boom it all comes in at once, the .64 at least gives you a feel of pull from the moment youre foot hits the floor...
Top end i couldnt tell you yet as im still on a map for a smaller turbo so not nailing it to the limiter...

Thanks mate, just been put on the back burner a bit as of late just with work, weather and what not! Certainly isnt dead tho

Haha I do quite like the unexpected boost you get with the .86 though. Passengers are still suprised

Have you got a built head? My .86 is still on full boost when I hit the limiter so was wondering if the .64 would be running out of puff towards the top end of a built head, maybe 8000rpm? Something I haven't looked into just wondering if you knew.

 

[ibiza_95]

mines a standard head mate so im on a 7200 soft limiter and wouldnt like to go any higher tbh :/
Ill see if i can conjour up a vid of boost revs and speed for you to get an idea of what its like with the .64
