LoopyLing Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Seems like loads have been done but so many different ways to do it. Can folks post up useful info for some one who might be considering doing it (themselves!)... Engine mounts and driveshafts are my main worry + info on ECU decoding or clock usage..

Petar Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Every conversion is individual. 150 , 180 or 225 BHP engine , 5 or 6 speedI opted for stock mounting points because I don't want cut and weld anything on chasiss. Only 5 speed gearbox is possible without cutting chassis legs.So I made custom mounts , there are pics in my topic.Right driveshaft is OEM Lupo 1.0 with 100mm inner CV joint. I had G60 engine (around 180BHP) and it didn't break. I will see what will happened with chipped 1.8T.Left driveshaft is Mk3 Golf VR6 syncro rear right also with 100mm inner CV , outer CV joint is same like stock Lupo.Cable change gear selector are same on all mk4 golf and same base cars ( A3 , Leon , Octavia...) 5 or 6 speed.I cut stock mounts and drill 2 8mm holes on tunnel but there is another way. We can use gear selector housing from Lupo/polo TDI and swap all parts from mk4 housing. It cost around 70 € at dealer.Later Lupos already have place for hidraulic master clutch cylinder. I used Mk4 clutch pedal with longer custom bolt which holds brake and clutch pedal.For older Lupos we can use cable clutch mechnis from 89. passat or Ibiza 16VI had stock 1.0 MPI fuel pump on 180 BHP G60 but for 1.8T I swapped it with Octavia RS pump. It is direct fit just need to change fuel level sender.It's impossible to explain here comlete wiring but her is part of it. 1.8T DBW gas pedal is direct fit on later Lupos. I didn't change anything on fuse box or relay plate. I removed just part of 1.0 MPI wiring (wires from engine to ECU with connectors) and solder 1.8T wiring. It's not that complicated , just need to find wiring diagrams for both engines and spend few hour for studing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A longshot as I know this post is so old but where would I find one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
