Petar Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) I wanted to put this at project cars but I can't post there.Here will be lots of useful infos and pics My Twin V6 Lupo is finished now so I started engine conversion to my daily Lupo.I have it one year. Till now I just fitted cheap coilovers , Audi A2 polished wheels (redrilled hubs to 5x100) and a pair of A3 recaros.It was really slow. I bought few engines for it (first 1.8T but it was damaged , then 2.9 VR6 and 16V ABF) but I sold them. I found good G60 1H engine out of rallye golf and started this Few summer pics G60 fits Lupo same like Opel od Ford engine Nothing fits photobucket.com/albums/m167/TASV6/Lupo/DSC00230.jpg Edited February 28, 2010 by Petar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Brilliant, That will be a fun car to drive, be it not as fun as the twin, but more practical!I was supprised, i thought there would have been more room for the enigne in the bay, i supose its because you have the exhaust and inlet manifolds on one side and the charger on the other, must make the engine quite deep.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomStevo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 isnt g60 tall block? either way this is amazing!!!!!!!!! and fair play for doing it all yourself!!!! some very good welding and fabrication skills, you should make a kit up for engine mounts to fit a g60 in lupos, i would be very interested if you did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that Lupo 1.0 (1.4) right driveshaft fits perfect and for left driveshaft I will use right rear from Mk3 VR6 syncro! Fits perfect on early passat 1.8 cable change geabox with 90mm inner CV joints. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
