30v V6 into an ibiza

[JordanMk3]

I was debating with my dad.. He has the A6 with a 2.8 30v V6... Its an auto.. Would this engine fit into my ibiza... Especially with the Auto box.. Its not the quattro either, its just FWD.. Can pick these up too cheap, and it would be ridiculous quick in a small car!! Im not 100% going to do it, im just curious to be honest.. What do you guys think?

Any engine will fit providing you have enough money to fund it.

The only thing that may be an issue is that I believe some Audi's have their engines mounted longitudinally rather than transverse, take a look at the engine bay of this one;

That might make things much harder. And don't do automatic, all that lovely power will go to waste!

The thing is look at the power that vr6 lump in that cupra is....200bhp! That a6 engine aint that powerfull for its size. Just go 1.8t

 

[seatcupramad23]

unless you putting a turbo on vr6 lump its a waste of time and money unless you just doing it for sound

 

[Tucker157]

Take the money you'd spend on this and spend it on a 20vt, more fun, power and handling can make a 20vt ibiza very quick for not that much money!

all you will be doing is putting a big heavy engine upfront which on the great scale of things doesn't make alot of power unless you spend some serious money either supercharging or turboing it, yes they sound great but my mates have stripped out mk2 golfs with ported and cammed vr6's in running 215-225bhp and my stage 2 k03 ibiza beats them at pod by 0.4 so it's alot of work for a slower car, yes it would sound awesome but put your money towards a big turbo 1.8t build

Ibizas are terrible for understeer with a 20vt in them, imagine how bad a 30v V6 would make an Ibiza.

Save your money and buy something designed for decent amounts of power and preferably has the correct pair of wheels driven. (Hint: That's not the front pair)

I've got 206bhp and 308ft/lb of torque as standard. Just a simple remap will give me 260bhp and 412ft/lb of torque. Oh and I get 50mpg at 80mph.

Mmm, RWD V6 Ibiza... now there's a project...

 

[JordanMk3]

I suppose.. I was just thinking out loud tbh!! That little ibiza with that engine would sound..... Like thunder!! Could you imagine! Are the VR6's 12v?

How much would a 20vt conversion be?

 

[yellonvi-R]

A 20vt conversion will cost you what it will cost to buy a cupra to strip for all the bits you need.

 

[JordanMk3]

Is it literally, buy a cheap cupra, then everything is labour? Can I use the ECU, as long as I use the clocks?

 

[yellonvi-R]

Yeah youll need the clocks the loom the evu engine gearbox drivesfats brakes exhaust, so just find a cheap ibiza cupra dont even worry about the milage.

 

[Tucker157]

Worry about servicing tho... Regular oil changes do wonders for the life of these engines!

Id hope he has the good sense to service it properly before refitting the doner lump

 

[Tucker157]

Yup, full service! sump off new oil strainer! Maybe even new pump, or least clean out the carbonised oil from the old one! n just cause its out change all exhaust studs etc and clean and paint the block. Keep it looking good for a long time!

i have a AYP block sat on a pallet in my garage with 67k on it

Seriously though, better buying a complete doner car, stripping it down and putting it in yours, transfer the ecu, loom, engine, dash, pretty much everything

 

[yellonvi-R]

Then sell all the other bits you dont use, seats and window regs thats £250 back straight away

 

[Olly20VT]

But if you do want a V6 Audi then at least put a S4 2.7 V6 30V twin turbo quattro in
