Let me be the first to say Well Done . I bet you were well chuffed when it finally started. I don't think I've seen a G40 before. I think Zero is thinking of doing a G60 but no one I can think of with a G40. You will love the charger whine Just out of interest, was it completely a home DIY project or did you have to get a garage to do most of it??

Good skills, interesting to see someone take a different approach engine wise.

 

[AlpineWhite]

Nice one! Didn't think it would happen, good work

 

[Czechboy]

Excuse my lack of knowledge of the G40 engines but is yours a 1.3 G40 engine and charger or is it just a normal (ADL) 1.4 Ibiza block with a G40 charger bolted to it???

If its the latter then I'm sure a LOT of peeps on here would like to know at least a rough parts list required for the conversion

Im pretty sure its a g40 engine

 

[Czechboy]

Im pretty sure its a g40 engine

Judging by the cam cover i think so too, its just that his previous thread was regarding him bolting a charger to his 1.4 lump. Which ever it is, good effort

 

[AlpineWhite]

Yep, think it was a G40 lump going in.

Ye was very happy when it fired up!!! yes as a matter of fact it was completly a diy project the g40 sat on the 3 seats mounts on the car the one @ the rear the on on the gear box and the one on the front all lined up with the g40 mounts!! had to make a golf gti rack fit cause i have lost my power steering!!!! wiring was quite simple i got all the diagrams and sat down my garage and look @ them!! but the only thing i had done was my exchaust welded @ custom exchausts in cardiff

[Chrisdaman]

well done mate, how does it go? got a lot of fine tuning to do?

 

[tony100]

its nto goin aswell as it should to be honest ye it does need alot of tuning !! im only using a standadspi fuel pump atm but ive only drive it once. im gettin a vr6 pump in it? not 2 sure weather it would be suffiecnt enough and weather it would fit stright in?? do you have any ideas?

 

[Chrisdaman]

none mate lol

did sound a wee bit rough in that video

 

[dougy69]

A vr6 pump uses the same sort of housing as the ibiza pump but it sits in the bottom of the tank if i remember correctly. you might be lucky and get a vr6 pump to fit in the ibiza housing but if not u might be able to craft the two housings together some how

 

[dougy69]

oh and well done! i thort about doing this conversion but couldnt find an good engine for the right money. would be very interesting to see how well it goes!!

 

[CraigW]

Good job!! I was one of the people who was sceptical but its good to see that you have got it done and its all running.

I bet your proud that your the first in the uk to have a g40 engined mk2 ibiza!!

 

[Jamin Berry]

Good job

 

[Wayne88]

nice job mate is it an easy conversion to do i have been thinking about this for a while but didnt think it would make alot of difference.
