R plate Seat Ibiza Gti - How Quick?

Just looking for an idea, I cant seem to find much info on it, just that you can get a 190bhp chip for it.

Theres a guy with one near where I live and I think hes gagging for a blast down the dual carriageway!

Only a 2lt 16v arent they so a lot of work would be needed for 190bhp id think. I know theres the 1.8T GTi and a 2lt but its a confusing model the Ibiza so im too. Prob the Turbo that can be chipped up to that sort of figure but thought they were newer?

Best ask over at http://www.seatcupra.net/forumshttp://www.seatcupra.net/forums

If his is standard, you will beat it convincingly!

 

[Mikey16vClio]

I should beat it too then shouldnt i?

 

[teady172]

Probably, be closer though!

 

[teady172]

They have around 150BHP and are quite light!( if its the 16V one!)

The "GTi" used the 150bhp 2.0 16v from the Golf Mk3 GTi 16v. This car has stats similar to the Clio 16v - mid 7s to 60 and 130mph top whack.

The Cupra editions use variants of the VAG Groups 5-cylinder 1.8 20v Turbo unit (in various states of tune from 150bhp to 180bhp). I would have thought that this would have been the unit that could be chipped to 190bhp. The 180bhp version had a 0-60 in the low 7s and a top whack of 140mph. Very much 172 territory, but the Cup would probably pip a standard one.

There is, as yet, no performance version of the latest Ibiza (unless you count the 130bhp TDi).

The R Reg isnt going to be the 20V T engine though. Its either the 8v or 16V engine!

The turbo is the one that can be chipped to 190BHP

The GTi is a NA 2.0. SOmeone I know has one and race him a fair bit. All down to driver skill. And I own a valver. With your 172 shouldnt be a prob!

Seem quite quick top end though! Starts pulling away a bit at 110
