Driving back from work the car started to splutter, misfire and running on 3 cylinders. Luckily it happened literally outside our office managed to tuck it in a car park across the road. While waiting to be rescued I done the obvious checks to see if it's coil packs, spark plugs or one of the...
Josh, I did it all by visually looking at how the bend should be and cut / welded on the spot. Sadly I only took pictures of the final product. The easiest way to do this is to cut a small section out and re-join with a hose. How far are you with this?
Wideband conversion done, everything fits nicely
It made 288.94bhp/324.10ft on the wideband ECU setup, compared to 284bhp/324.5ft on the narrowband ECU above
A bit of tweaking to do now so as it stands the car is now on a stock LCR 225 map and it made 254.82bhp/257.77ft on a...
Thanks mate, I have Weitec coilovers, they are firm but not bouncy.
I have nightmares regarding TA Technix coilover, shockingly poor. I find Pro Sport / JOMS are a slightly more forgiving.
Wideband conversion harness arrived, thanks to Ben Parsons, a quality bit of a kit.
Genuine V.A.G parts used to make this kit
Everything is here to convert the mk3 ibiza from narrowband to wideband
Humble little Ibiza
Cheers mate, still have a few bits left for final mapping but really now need to concentrate on putting the power down and handling, it's a bit nutty at the moment.
Everything back together all working, air tight and engine ran in with the essential oil changes
Took a trip down to some local lads to get a base map put on to see how she copes
She made 249.2bhp and 291.8ftlbs with a base map @ 0.9bar
This came, thanks to SERE Motors
Looks nice that, neat and tidy. Have to wire in the power for the backlights, thinking what's the best route to take, might use the light switches as I did with my previous leons
Next up, the fuel pump. For the time being i'm happy to fit a good working Leon Cupra R fuel pump so let's begin.
Left is the Ibiza Cupra's fuel pump and float and on the right the Leon Cupra R's fuel pump.
The best way to do this is to change the spring loaded part of the float over...
I agree mate, the way a K04 delivers power coupled with the mk3 weight advantages is absolutely insane. Your Ibiza build was spot on. The quality of work you did on that is something I can appreciate and is the level I work at myself.
Again agreed this cooler does work very well but I...
Next up is the bumper, bought some good quality ABS plastic honeycomb and started to measure up. A serious amount of time went in to doing this right
Plasti welded up to perfection
Trial fit bumper
