Meals Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hello! Just after some ideas on sorting out my Lupo! I've just got a 1.4 75bhp 16 valve 2001 reg with 103,000 on the clock and I've been wanting to rebuild the engine. I've been looking at changing the engine for something a little quicker but I've been wondering about just rebuilding this one with some performance pistons and some fast road cams etc etc. does anyone have any suggestions aside from this? Obviously I would be adding a performance 4 branch manifold and a full stainless system with a sports cat etc, but any ideas would be much appreciated! Also, what kind of power output could I expect from the 1.4 16 valve engine?Thanks, Amelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbo Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Just drop a Polo Gti lump into it and save yourself a LOT of money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meals Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Good idea! They are only 150bhp however and the money wouldn't be an issue as I plan on a long term transformation so to speak haha! I'm guessing they would get 200 though with a few mods . I was toying with the idea of dropping a B16 type R lump into it but obviously the engine mounts and a new frame would need to be made..... And I'm more of a torque junky ! I'm basically just after a crazy Lupo as a bit of a toy! But I'll deffo look into the GTI route, cheers man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Polo Gti's are 125bhp aren't they? Check out the engine swap builds. Would you be doing this yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
