Lupo-Sport-Ben Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I know this has probably been asked 100s of times but ive been looking all over the internet and i just cant find a topic about putting a 1.6 16v polo gti into a lupo 1.4s.I was just wondering if there was anyone out there that would be happy to show me the ways and/or be able to link me to a thread or 2 about people have all ready done it, or does anyone know of anyone that has done it.i just want to know what needs to be changed, e.g engine mounts, looming, will the driveshafts withstand the 1.6 engine etc. what engine code polo engine ide need to buy for my car,I know people may tell me just buy a lupo gti, just get a faster car.......... But ive allready got my lupo sat the way i want it to body mod , wise, and ofcourse its my baby i really dont wanna part with it. Its on the drive and it hasnt moved in a few months due to engine problems, the price that it will cost to get the parts to fix the engine is just the same as a new engine if not a little more,Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated hope someone can help Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintin360 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Its best to send it away and get it done, I know you will save money doing it yourself but by sending it away they will be able to do it faster and they will know what they are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
