Rich Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Depends which engine you got. Does it have push rods or is it an auc or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 What polos are available there? What engines are? What's wrong with yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 You can't just swap to a different engine type without changing the electronics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini 256 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 With the electronic part....will work on it ....but what engine is compatible ....wanted to try a golf 4 engine or any that is recommended by u guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini 256 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Many different Polos are available here, but I need guidance on what type of engine I should go for .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 There is no recommended engine... If you can get an engine to fit, then do it I guess there's easy- use an existing Lupo model supplied engine, or difficult- go for something radical like a VR6.

weslangdon Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 1.4 8v, 1.4 16v 2 types, 1.6 16v, all petrol 1.4 tdi, 1.7 sdi, diesel and of course the 1.0 petrol which you have and is the easiest swap if you need a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini 256 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Wanted to use 1.4 16v golf 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Nope, box mounts differently. But you might find a thread on here by mitch which goes against this. Can't remember if he got it to work or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Why not just bung a supercharger or turbo on it...? Easier. Then just remap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking the mick aren't you .... We both know it's not just that easy, let's be honest. Where's the turbo manifold coming from mate?

mk2 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 In Uganda, everything is custom made from what I've heard. They've got some good practical skills. One of the reasons I thought easier than doing all the elctronics where there's not much experience. I once got 170hp from a 1 four pot. Did rev quite high though. Still going from what I hear. Vortex supercharger. Bigger injectors. Home built inlet manifold. Emerald ECU. Off the shelf pipework and cooler. Mk4 air filter. Bigger exhaust. I'm trying to think what ford are doing these days with their little ecotec stuff. They're getting good and reliable numbers from their tiny engines.... I still think that old Alfa engines were probably the best NA petrol lumps ever made. That mated to a R30 gearbox. Yes old skool but my god a lot of fun. Mid engine lovelyness.
