supercharged seat ibiza

[performanceuk]

hi , we are new to seatsupra.net.
we have recently bought a supercharged seat ibiza and was wondering if anyone could shed any light on its history
it is a purple 1.8 16 valve
it is a 1996 car
fitted with a mini supercharger
it has 16" white compomotives fitted
it is currently fitted with coilovers.
the bottom end is knocking and we are unsure of spec. of engine.
any help would be appreciated.

Build thread for the car

IIRC without reading all the thread it was stupid low & the owner hit a speedbump at less than 30mph lol and it mashed the sump.

Definitely WIP & never ran right.

Chris's Ibiza.... on it's 2nd owner since he sold it lol.

Would be a shame to see the car go to pieces, look after it

thanks mork for the information . have just read some of the thread.you seem to know a lot about seats. do you think the supercharger from the ibiza would fit onto a 2.0 16 valve engine- thanks

 

[ibizacupra]

is it an E45?

 

[truCido]

it would fit onto the 2.0 16v however I think it was decided you'd probably be better off with a bigger charger

 

[crezz]

yep was an eaton 45

M62 might stretch the legs on a 2.0 a little more, I think with a few less 'ghetto' mods it would be not too bad at all.

One of the best mk2's in the uk and the worlds only 1.8 gti 16v with a charger.

why didnt you buy it then

 

[Dolly_Gti]

just re-read that thread, shame to see it never really worked for any length of time. agree with the ghetto comment, spend all that money then use hockey pucks for an engine mount to save a few ££

 

[Fl@pper]

never got chance to see it to be honest - bar the build up

what did it actually go like ?

It had the potential.... but was skimped on.

good pics can hide a multitude of bodges
