There was a 1.4 16v in the mk3 ibiza, probably the same engine. Will no doubt fit.

got the hump then...AFH ?

 

[jenk]

Me? Hump? Im a very happy dingle at the moment

 

[old 'uns]

no not you you plonker..

 

[jenk]

Oh

 

[ibiza95]

i have the 1.4 abd engine its crap, would like to stick with a 1.4 engine, have been exploring but like the DOHC 1.4,

The 1.4 16v engine came in, what, 75 and 100 bhp variants?

Why would you go to the effort of putting one of those in when you could buy a GTI for less and get 115bhp and all the extras that go with it? (suspension, brakes, ABS etc etc)

 

[m0rk]

By far the best suggestion

 

[ibiza95]

haha yes that was an option, buut..... i cant afford to run a gti as i am 20 and have no NCB plus i now have a baby on the way and am looking into buying a leon so want a 1.4 still to mess with

 

[jenk]

GTi's are pretty cheap to run and insure, look into it if you have not already.

 

[AlpineWhite]

But you can afford to buy and fit a different engine, do some brake and suspension upgrades and then insure a heavily modified car to get it on the road legally?

 

[ibiza95]

mmm eh right, thats put more perspective on it, i do like to sound of a 2.0l 8 valve toyed with the idea a while ago but thought insurance would rocket

 

[AlpineWhite]

8v's are pretty good on insurance.

 

[old 'uns]

max 9 months for baby to arrive, by the time you've sourced an engine etc, got round to doing it, had the usual problems etc....guess what you'll need? more room

save your money
