1.0MPI has gone pop - what else will fit?
Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:05 am
Hi,
A customer has brought in an Ibiza 1.0 MPI with a bad engine - no 1 cylinder is fouling the plug, and its smoking badly.
So the engine is US. Customer is scrapping the car off, so I've got it for almost nothing.
I was thinking of having this as the workshop runabout/loan car since my last loaner got bought by a customer!
Just wondering what else will fit into the engine bay without too much hassle, but will be reliable?
I can cope with the electronics and fuel injection - not worried about that (might even use it as an opportunity to play with a megasquirt) - but to pass safety inspection, it's got to look like an original fitment, so it's got to bolt in without any engine bracket mods etc, and not be too obviously oversize.
What would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
