Adam K Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 i have got hold of a polo gti cylinder head for £75.i want to send it away to get it ported and polished ready to put on my lupo gti.will be putting cams in at the same time as fitting the head.basically i just need a positive answer that the polo gti and lupo gti heads are identical.cheers!

lupogtiboy Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 should be yes, as they have the same engine code, avy.unless its a really early polo gti one, which has the engine code arc, so i'm not sure about that! same style of engine tho.

Tigz™ Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Why not just get your head done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam K Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Why not just get your head done?because....... a. i don't want to take my car off the road.b. i am getting this headwork done, and then saving some more money for cams, and then getting the head and cams both fitted at the same time, and then mapped.

Tigz™ Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) the headwork doesnt take long.fitting the cams to the head does take long.removing and refitting the head, and mapping the car does.I would think you would be better saving the £75 and waiting till you could get the cams, when you then have enough for the headwork, fitting and mapping take it to someone who can do the lot.Should be able to do it within the day.

Adam K Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) i'd rather spread the cost and have all the bits sitting there ready just to be fitted all in one go. i'm sure i'll be able to stick my old head on ebay and re-coup my money.my m8 works for renault F1 and they have a guy there who does all the headwork for their cars. they have offered to do my head on their flowbench for £450 cash and that is a 3 day turnaround.
