Can anyone tell me what car the 1600 engine comes out of that bolts straight into the mkIII (correct me if im wrong ) and what stuff would i need off the car apart from the engine? thanks for any help homies

i think its the mk2 seat ibiza, you can run the GT head and injection on it,
i recon it would run sweet if you used the G40 injectors aswell. im not to sure but i think you have to change the main engine mount, there are 2 bolts which dont line up or something, but easy enough to change.

Superb thats what i wanted to hear cheers man

GT injectors are good for 120bhp I've heard.

Steve (86c) Morris has done this conversion in a Mk2, with no aftermarket parts it made 98bhp and triple figure torque figures.

Good strong conversion if done right.

cheers its lookin im gonna go for that if the polo im lookin at is as solid as i think it is

do you know what engine code the seat 1.6 is? i've got a 1.6 AEE engine in the garage actually from a skoda , if the bottom end just bolts up to the head without a daft compression ratio i might try it in my 3F powered mk1 golf

86C suggests its not so easy in post: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... 2f27#74497

Interesting conversion. Steve knows what he's doing and it gave massive torque.

The question is, is it worth all the effort over a 3F lump ? Your gonna be paying more tax and probably more insurance (depending who it's with).

yer, im thinkin of goin for the 1.4 seat engine now.
plus, a friend of mine said he's got all the gear to turbo it an can weld me up a manifold, im thinking of that later on in the year,

Hehe i wasnt plannin on mentionin anythin to the insurance about it livin on the edge. Im 19 so i suspect ill get ass raped if i tell em ive put a 1.6 in lol

If you are thinking of not telling the insurance, you might as well not have a policy. The reason why permiums are high is because of this kind of thing. If you go to brentacre they will do a policy that allows any mods upto 100 bhp or 125 bhp etc, doesn't matter if it's a conversion.

just don't drive it down south, don't wanna get hit by an uninsured 1.4 turbo mk3

cheers for the advice, ill check brentacre out

Have a good read of this. This question comes up all the time.
