99hjhm Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not even Polo GTI Rich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Haha I love the straight "No". What would I need to make that engine work then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not even a Polo GTI.It'd mate up to the box but the engine wouldn't run.You'd need to fit the wiring loom, if you haven't got the Polo GTI loom, a Lupo GTI one will work but you'll have to wire the whole car up.

truCido Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I didn't think the Lupo GTi box and Sport box were interchangeable?? Polo GTi and Sport yes, but not Lupo GTi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 He's got a Polo GTI engine. . . The sport box will physically fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 So If I get a polo loom then I still have to wire the whole car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Unfortunately,Easiest way to do it will be to buy a Lupo GTI loom off Thissy, the whole thing.Only things you'll need to adjust are the positioning of the crank sensor wire (easy) & the speedo sensor has a different plug.

VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 My speedo isnt working anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looking at the two engines they're near on identical.I reckon we could get away with using the sport flywheel, Clutch and box on the gti engine.Surely this could work? I'm also now on the look out for a loom. Watch this space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 You can use the sport box and flywheel etc. . .But the ratios will be out and it won't last long.When the VVT kicks in and the torque is there, you'll be reaching the limits of the box.

VR6_K Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 well as long as it'll run till i can get a proper box that sounds cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubsy Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Good luck finding a decent box a recon one will cost you 500 and that's on an exchange basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
