jr Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Just looking at allturnatives to the AFH option, as it in theory involves less wiring, and no immob issues etc tooi know people have done AFH into a mk2/3 polo, but what about the other way round ?Jr Edited August 2, 2011 by jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper_GTI Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 It'd be a daft thing to do in all fairness.It's a massive backwards step in technology, offering less power than an AVY, worse fuel economy, less reliability etc.What you wanna look into is dropping a C20LET into your corsa, or if thats too expensive, then a C20XE with an SBD manifold and some cheap reground cams!

221_matty Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 It would be dog slow, there only fast in a polo because it weighs next to f*ck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatty Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 75hp from a GT engine. So a good 25hp up on a 1 litre. Easy to wire and easy to upgrade. 1.4 Bottom end, schrick cam, chip and a four branch should see 90hp. Plus loads cheaper than a 16v. Will fit on 1.4 mounts as well.Personally I'm feeling the 1.6 8v AEE engine for my Arosa. Cheap to get a whole donor, Torquey and tuning bits available from Germany, plus different to the Norm.

fatty Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well the 1.3 and 1.4 are interchangeable when in a Polo so I imagine that Arosa 1.4 8v mounts will work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
