9n Engine Upgrade

kristafari · Post by **kristafari** » Tue May 17, 2011 5:36 pm

Hoping to get a bigger engine for my polo, just wanted to know what can fit, what some of you have done and where i can get an engine from. Any info will be a massive help.

the only real engine upgrade worth doing for power would be a 20vt 1.8t from an audi tt but for the amount a company charges to do it u may as well buy a gti

Depending on your knowledge you could put r32 in. Prob be very hard work

Rass! r32 engine lol you've got my attention! I done a lil research saw that they have a 2.0l polo engine from the brazilian range. any ideas where i could get my hands on either one (i'm pretty new to this)

to be honest i was kinda looking for one that would fit right in. If the TT engine fits right in then that would be ideal

stick to the 1.8t turbo tt pot be done a few times from a few members and easily tuneable to silly bhp... !!!

1.8 t all day long. Get the TT one, if you wanted silly power new turbo, remap etc.

Have to agree with Dub_Dan! I considered doing this to my old 9n but with the hassle of finding a engine, ECU, and loom and then getting somebody to put it in for me pretty much put me off etc. So in the end bought a 9n3 GTI

If you are an experienced mechanic etc then prob worth doing it yourself as it would be much cheaper.

Bro, personally i would save that money and buy a golf or an a3, whatever. Dont wanna burst your bubble, but unless your p*ssing money, it aint worth it.

It probably would but if you read the add it's missing the turbo.

As everyone has said buy a Polo gti. It's not just the engine you would have to think about it's the brakes and suspension to handle it as well.

Unless your doing the conversion your self which I guess you aren't then I wouldn't bother. The money you spend on the engine, brakes, suspension will out weigh the benefits.

If you sold your Polo and added the money it would do to complete the conversion you would definitely have enough to buy a second hand stage 2 9n3 Gti that would be quicker, handle better and look better.

mate its a polo it will only ever be a polo me personally unless i had cash to waste youve got to think how much can you really spend before you could have gone and bought yourself a newer and better car...

you guys need to stay faithful to your cars, sounds like while you are driving you're constantly wishing it was something else.

Dub_Dan actually once i have the right money it wont just be a polo :]

Don't worry what it costs you. If I add mine up it around £7000 spent on the car bought it for £5000 but it don't bother me cos it's very unique spending more money on it as well in next month. Another £1000 to be added on I won't say on what yet
