Supercharging the Ibiza - Progress Thread, the beginning

[MartIbiza]

?

so how much power do you think you would get from a 2.0 8v gti using the same components that your using to supercharge yours?

 

[Chrisdaman]

dunno mate, cos he's never done an 8v, only 16vs, i imagine you could G60 yours very easily bieng an 8v

 

[Chrisdaman]

bit of a development (a good one though) i took the charger to ace cafe and nando (the guy helping me) told me it isnt the ordinary run of the mill M45............................

i've only gone and bought the John Cooper S-Works charger, cermamic coated screws, and the screws are a different shape. This means more boost. Looking at maybe 1 Bar of boost pressure and maybe 230bhp that's 100bhp gain over a 1.8 16v standard

also the ADL lump might not need the compression reduced, just checking on this, but that saves taking the head apart to put the twin g60 gaskets in

looking good so far, got underpaid this month so a couple of parts will have to wait, ordered a smaller pulley, and the inlet and outlet flanges

 

[jenk]

Good stuff. Nice bit of luck to have

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh, apparently the S-Works chargers are loads loads more expensive and much much rarer, so i got myself a bargain for £150

 

[Fl@pper]

pick me some lottery numbers then

nice one

ADL is listed as 10.5 standard compression btw

 

[Chrisdaman]

awesome, were trying to find the figures, thanks mate

awesome, were trying to find the figures, thanks mate

fuel pressure is 3.0bar + fuel injectors are 15-20 ohm springs to mind - dunno why

i have all the engine spec somewhere at work / bore/stroke etc etc if you need anything like that just ask

you lucky lucky barsteward !!!

[monty python mode off]

Should give you a little more umph

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh, another 50bhp without doing anything else, that's why the cooper s-works minis are much faster

 

[thewiizard]

how much is all this going to cost because I want the same thing on mine!

 

[Chrisdaman]

aroudn the £800-£900 mark, gna take a while though as some parts are hard to source

 

[thewiizard]

£900

can you tell me what to get and where to get it?! hehehehe cheeky but I so want to do something with my beast.

cheers.

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh on the first page of this thread there is a list of what i need, mines a 1.8 16v though, the ADL lump, not the ABF, i dont know what differs between the 2 lumps. Some of the parts are hard to find (rocking horse poo) and the eaton brackets need to be custom made, also u'll need an m62 (harder to get than the m45, not as rare as my M45 though )

I wanna be the only supercharged mk2 beeza in the village

 

[thewiizard]

damnit! i've got my eye on an m45 at the moment as well

Could you ask Nando if the ABF is a similar ordeal for me please. I guess a few things may differ such a the Megasquirt 1 EMS V3 Spark extra with loom and the 317cc or higher injetors being it a 2.0, could be wrong tho

If all goes wrong i've got a CBR400RR to finance it all

 

[Chrisdaman]

lol he supercharged his abf, and his mates abf (G60RGE on e38). They used m62 chargers on theirs and have had no problems, sign up on there and pm him.

Oooooo is that the Gull arm or tri arm?

i've had my eye out for one of them for years

@jealous

 

[thewiizard]

Triarm NC23

 

[ibiza_95]

i want to do this now he makes it look really simple

 

[Chrisdaman]

what the supercharging, its not that hard but the parts can be quite hard to source, ie the charger and inlet manifold
