Cooper_GTI Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 You need to fabricate the mountsCustom shafts are probably neededYou'll have to use the turbo box (some of which are 6 speed)You could put a K04 turbo on it, but i'd wouldnt set about tuning the turbo lump till its up and running.

Bickerton Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Some mount with subframe, some fabricate new mounts, some weld mk3 (?) engine mount onto lupo, this is all what i have read (by searching), no first hand experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3 1UPO Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I used custom mounts, driveshafts, and from wat I was told u can't use a 6 speed box as ther to big and also the sane with a ko4 turbo as it has twin down pipes which don't won't fit between the bulkhead and the back of the block I'm on a ko3s turbo front mount custom 3" exhaust solid boost pipes induction and dump valve and remap and been told it's running about 235-250 bhp still not had it rolling roaded as yet so can't give an exact reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpan Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 can i be cheeky and ask for details of mounts and shafts please , those power figures is were id like to be hitting too , and also a remap I´ve used the Mk4 golf mount for the rightside and welded the console from mk4 into the Lupo.For the left side (gearbox) i´ve used lupo standard upper part but with custom made mount on the gearbox.The Driveshafts i have used is from mk2 16v with Lupo outer joints, the rightside is left untouched in length but the left oneis shortned about 5cm.I doubt these joints and shafts can handle 250hp but they work fine for 150-200hp, i have tested them Its not only mounts and shafts that haveto be custom made, its exhaust, intercooler piping, and pretty much everything else.....Start with getting the engine in the car and get it running properly and then tune it as you like, thats my opinion.
