ibiza k04...gt28rs soon to be (PICS)

[h17och]

right...so ive done k04...many told me i was wasting my time which made me even more determind, but i done it!

i got bored as i had nothing to do to my engine. I was quite happy with k04 power, but had no work to do to it so i decided to change!

gt28rs was what i wanted as theres not many ibizas with it.

i was thinking of just bolting it straight on when i get it but then i thought i need the gearbox out also to fit my diff and clutch, so i put 2 and 2 together and decided to take my engine out!

Ive never taken an engine out of a car before, 100s of bikes, but not a car!

i started on friday night at 9pm (dont ask) and worked untill midnight. Buy this time i had the front end off, most of the pipes and wires disconnected and it was just the engine mounts holding it in!

saturday night came after a mission of a day at work in the sun, and i finished it off and had the little beast out and on my bench before heading down the pub (see...i do have a life aswell as my car )

below is a few pics of it coming out and i will update it whan i can of the progress!

thanks for reading

Interesting. Looks to me like it would be possible to bung a K04 of a golf/leon style using the Ibiza style charge pipe and single pass FMIC. A few people have asked, that's all.

I take it you made/had made the dp yourself? I wonder if it's worth jigging the flange up now so you can make (or at least tack up) the GT28RS downpipe with the engine still out? Assuming you're making the GT28RS one too.

Edit: and assuming you are fiting a GT28RS and not an Eliminator...

its a proper gt28rs not a eliminator!

3" intake and the strange shape exhaust flange

as for DP its a JBS one

Looks like a good project, will keep an eye on this thread for updates. How long do you think it will take to be all up and running? And who are you using to sort the mapping for it out?

 

[ibizacupra]

what mapping did you have for the K04 before you removed it?

 

[TTS Roadsport]

It was MRC mapped on the K04.

"How do u get the driveshafts out?"

 

[h17och]

[h17och]
