will a diesel turbo fit??

will the diesel turbo kit (with intercooler) fit into a 1.6 ibiza?

Cutting springs and now this?! are you a comedian

Unfortunately it wont mate, theres a whole host of problems you will encounter, plus even making the thing fit will be a task in itself (and even if it would, yours is petrol!?!?!)

in short no, in long, no it wont, while it will physically probably bolt on, it just wont work for about 50 reasons.

Haha no problems with being curious dude, thats what forums are for, best thing for you to do would be nice induction kit, decent exhaust and regular services to keep her running sweet.

Then whatever other mods you fancy, lowering, wheels etc!!

lol want to give me these 50 reasons?

plus i was thinking a small diesel turbo because
1, its only small so i might not need to uprate crank n everything else
2, cheap to buy
3, small so wud fit in engine bay easily lol

but not a problem!

lol getting induction kit next paycheck, head gasket needs doing so gonna clean all air inlet and fuel inlet pipes etc when i do this so hopefully will be runing alot better soon!

a diesel turbo can't work on a petrol car in any instance. a diesel turbo operates at around 900 Deg C and a petrol turbo operates at around 2000 Deg C! so the diesel one would simply self destruct!

ha wont try it then!

I am sure I remember a guy from eastern europe who managed to turbo a 1.6. Can't remember his username but I know it was yellow and had a front mount.

I could however be wrong!

it was this thread

advanced search rocks

"engine AFH 1.4 16v block 1.6l golf III pistons etc turbo conversion with garett t28"

I can see where I remembered 1.6 from now

on the ibizamk2.com website gallery, there is a silver mk2 ibiza with a 1.6 twin cam from a more modern polo that has been turbo'd. I think he was called Greddy (can't think why!) in the Euro section
