Can I put a ibiza from tdi gearbox into my cupra tdi

[tommyd]

After spending today trying to find a new/recon box I'm wondering can I put a golf gt tdi or ibiza fr gearbox in instead? Didn't realise the guc gearboxes were so rear. But suppose the cupra tdi is a rear machine

You'll loose the short Ratio but any 02M gearbox from the Ibiza / Fabia or Polo will fit.

Will it be able to cope with a slight gain in power. It's had stage 1 so roughly 190bhp? I'm not bothered in the short shift really

These 02M gearboxes are fine with that power, they're all the same except the gear ratios are different

 

[tommyd]

Would a grf box be OK for the cupra

 

[tommyd]

And could you point me in the right direction please.

Would a FR 1.9 TDi gearbox do the job?

That FR gearbox would be fine but that's expensive

My mate as an 08 Ibiza FR 130pd remapped to 190 so it can handle the extra power

any PD 160/130 box should fit.

160s have shorter ratios for better 0-60. 130s are longer- read less rpm for same speed ie 70mph = 2100rpm in my 160 vs 70mph = 1900 in my mates vrs (pd130)

Out of interest if I sold my box as scrap it must be worth over 100 squid. There like rocking horse ****

Doubt they give £30 for it. Fella

Badger. I've removed the gearbox and I'm I've seen a erf bora pd 130 6 speed box on e Bay. Will this be ok to put in the cupra

 

[Badger]

It will fit, may need to swap the selector mechanism off your old box as it's smaller.

This one?

This bora gearbox has been a nightmare to put into the cupra. The gear shaft needed to be removed but now I've found the mounts are totally different. I'm thinking would ibiza fr tdi mounts be needed

 

[Badger]

How different?

All the hole on the box don't line up. Not even close

After some cutting of the original gearbox bracket I've managed to get the box into the cupra. After bolting everything together was exited to get her back on the road only to find a very notchy steering in only one position. So stripped down the pump to get to the plugs to test the voltage. Do I need a certain voltage for it to work Correctly?
