scotty_82 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 how competent are you with welding, wiring and general spannering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blister Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 well so far i have been reading on this forum and i thought that the engine can be mounted onto my gearbox maing use of the lupos engine mounts but what else needs welding?my welding is okishgeneral spannering for example knowing where everything come from and goes i am rather good at that and wiring is not to bad as long as not much soldering is needed and isnt to complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Hows your simultaneous equations?Lets try If welding = xwiring = ywork out2xy + y =10 x + y = 4what is x and y equal too.Have you thought about just selling up and buying a car that works with the correct engine in , seems your doing everything the hard way.

blister Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 y = 5 x = -1ybut buying another car isnt an option as my lupo engine has now decided that its had enough and a con rod has decided to seperate from its other half so now my options are fit another 1.4 and just get bored of its power like i already am of my old 1.4 so all i am after knowing is how much needs changing to fit the 1.6 polo engine and i am not after anyone holding my hand or beening "narky" please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just being narky but you wanted a golf engine in the first post , now its a polo engine.And no where near on the equation answers x= 1.5 or 2 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blister Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 but beyween the golf engine and the polo engine i have learnt some what more about there conversion and i no the golf engine is far more expensive but in the project section i cannot find answers not being rude towards you with the narky comment just i know on most forums that people that are new with noob questions arnt fully treated with full respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 welcome to the world of clublupo! If I were you mate I'd just look out for another sport engine, plenty about and you dont have to faff about with fabrication or any ecu/wiring mods.

scotty_82 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 ^^^^^^^^^^^He has already been told that , but he said the engines were pants and had problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blister Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 well in my opinion they are i have been to my local dealer and he said that they was full of faults, my local scrap yard has lots of 1.4s in and he knows that they are just good for scrap, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Don't see where he's getting his figures as there are loads of 1.4 Lupos on the road with high milage.And just in case you don't know, the 1.4S is not the same as a Sport.

Pete Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 The 1.8t is full of faults too but they're still a massively popular engine to stick in other bays. Am I missing something as when I posted he didn't mention anything about the engines being rubbish and faulty, just that he was bored of the power. Or has he posted summat similar in another thread? Either way if thats the case why not drop a loop gti in, that should surely be the easiest mod to do power plant wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 As said in his other post a lupo gti engine is harder to fit than a polo gti engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
