Oh yeah great lets actually 4x4 the ibiza and not just put the r32 engine in. Can you note a tone of sarcasm in my voice!
Lets just say if you think it was that easy dont you think there would be a few 4x4 ibizas around? People have looked at 4x4 and its a £10k plus job without the actual engine conversion! Oh and the 4x4 has to have 6speed box as far as im aware which is quite abit bigger than the ibiza one and the ibiza bay is tiny as we know so you will have to either cut a chassis leg in half length ways or space frame it.
Over 300bhp in a fwd car is not pointless at all! Go and talk to somebody with BT and see if they think it is pointless! They may break traction but they are v.fast cars. I know its a different league but look at Bill. He has near on 600bhp in a front wheel drive car and yes its an animal but not pointless and is very useable especiallyon track.
Fact is I would rather have a 1.8T 4x4 than an R32 4x4 as the v6 still is not very powerful or tuneable until you go forced induction which is more money than going BT 1.8T for the same power.
Thats what i want to do in the future to a nice new shape black caddy slammed on a set of WORK wheels with some mad dish to them!
I never said it was going to be cheap lol! thats why i'm going out and buying an r32 when i can afford it! but I personally dont see the point in spending THAT much money on a FWD car, 600 horses is insane and fair play to him, but he will never get all that power down!
i'd rather save for a bit and turbo a 4wd car....I was clearly stating that it isnt pointless to get the R32 lump going in an ibiza, it would be amazing if you had the time and money
This was the original question though shanty.
It only asked about the engine which is a v.hard task itself not the 4x4 which is pretty much an impossible home conversion and costs £'000s if done professionally. Its about whether its easy for them to do which its is v.hard.
The r32 engine is also not a powerful one unless it has forced induction and that costs alot aswell. The r32 is not a fast car and not just because of its engine but because it weighs so much aswell. To get a 3-4 sec to 60mph r32 you are talking spending more than the cost of the car again.
Bills car uses its power very well and all of it when he can or he wouldnt have tuned it to the extent it is.

fair enough, would be sick though if it was done properly! its not unheard of on mk2 golfs so I thought it wouldnt be much harder..
too complex for what you'd get out of it so not worth doing in my book
as fwd it would be slower than a modified 1.8T, but even if you did manage to fit the 4wd gear god knows what stress this would put on an already dodgy ride.

Why not look at a vr6 lump instead? probably work out cheaper.
Wouldnt be mega quick but would sound sweet

sounds like a good idea but alot of hard work il probly repair the R32 and sell it their tools buts theirs to many golfs on the road use the money to tune 1.8t
Damn why cant somebody win the lottery and just do it, 4x4 big turbo ibiza cupra, what an awsome machine that would be.

dont forget the roof chop as well
must admit i'm tempted at an early euro diesel - must be easier to smooth the engine bay
