Calling all 1.4 Owners!!!

Stu strived for a couple of years to break the 90 Bhp mark out of a 1.4 8v, let alone 100 !!

Good luck though !!!

Cancelled my membership in Oct'04 Now with baby Cupra.

TBH, you won't really notice a big difference between 80+ and 100bhp


My old 1.4 spec sounds very similar to that bloke copying my avatar

 

[m15try_1]

i can only chip my ibiza to 109bhp, and that cost £499 by revo

went to a place in swindon who carry out, revo services, they said that the chip was only for 1.4 diesels not petrol and cost £399

Anyone know what i can do with my engine now

i lapsed my 1.4 membership in February 04...when I was the only Seat around here. Since I got my TDI there has been 3 Mk2 ibizas in the car park most days...seems like it is a good buy for students, lol.

There's also another Mk4 in the car park - so upto 5 ibizas in a car park of about 30! Good going!

I have got a mk2 1.4 ibiza. Mods so far:15" fox racing alloys, toyo tires, allu pedals, gear knob, door pins,black mesh grill,pioneer cd/mp3 player,400w kevlar 6x9s, 15"sub. Performance-wise nothing yet but working on the "SPT"

 

[Charlies Angel]

Hey

I live in salisbury. So not far away from swindon.

 

[dgreen]

ive a mk2 ibiza 1.4, thinking of an engine conversion at the moment............

 

[m15try_1]

wot engine were you thinkin of having instead

 

[qifop]

1.4 sport here (100ps version)

 

[bizaman]

Well in the MK2 the obvious candidates are the 2.0 16v on 2.0 8v. I have been told that the 1.8t is a relatively easy one to do as well but why not be different/original. I am currently investigasting the possibility of getting a torque tastic TDi unit installed!

G60..... go on you know you want to

 

[bizaman]

G60..... go on you know you want to

I would but is that one not a big/expensive job?

 

[andyj]

Depends if you can source a suitable engine etc at the right price !!

Not sure on what other work would be required.... but it'd be unique thats for sure !!!

Might be worth contacting somewhere like JBS in Chesterfield, and seeing if they'd give you a price etc.

I still have my MK2 1.4, with full sportstek body kit, 17" kahn alloys, pi springs, lowered 40mm, pipercross induction kit, remote/pager and automatic start alarm, and a few dents and scratches. I still love to drive the car around the country roads, bumpy as hell but it handels very well. Iam hanging onto it, thinking of plans to put vr6 into it, tried to sell it last month to cover the cost of my insurance on my leon cupra but got a lot of time wasters.

[Smithy]

if you drop a vr6 in the 1.4 with standard shocks and pi springs ....you'll need a full kit or it'll handle terribly. There's a bloke with a vr6 on here who had problems setting up his suspension to cope. You'd also need to sort your brakes out if you went that route ...say bye bye ££££

Ye, Ive Already Made Inquiries Into Conversion, Need A 5h1t Load Of Extras, G60 Subframe, Engine, Ecu, Wiring Looms, Suspension, Etc, Etc, Also Got Rough Price For Parts And Labour, £4500, Hope Its Worth It Tho. I Just Cant Resist Tinkering About With Cars, Every Time I Get Bored I Pop The Hood And Take Things Apart.

Surely it cant be that much. The subframe shouldn't be all that different. Only reason i haven't gone done the conversion route already is its hard to insure them!!

check this link out, see what you think. I emailed this guy last year and it cost him more if i remember rightly.
