is it possible to fit a lupo gti engine in the polo 9n?

it could be done but for the work involved you would be betta off fitting a bigger engine ( like a 1.8t )

the 9n engine bay is quite big compared to a lupo bay

as above

or why not go for something different such as a V5 or V6

i could fit a v6 24v (R32 ) with a 5 speed vr6 box into a 9n no problem

How much would you charge? I'm thinking of doing this conversion later on this year

i aint got the room to do any work on other peoples cars at the mo

i dont see it being that hard to get it sitting in place tho, the 9n engine bay is very similar to most of the late vag cars inc the R32 ( pendulum side mounts and gearbox lower rear brace)

how much did it cost to put that 1.8 t engine in your 9n?

I think ceedubya did all the work himself?

If your planning on doing the work yourself your best getting a donar car so you have all the parts you need ready to be swapped straight over, plus it will work out cheaper in the long run

woud'nt u just need the engine? i thought it was that easy? lol, well i say easy but u know wot i mean!

i did all the work on my car, the only cost apart from parts was gettin the wiring loom modified to fit into the polo (£300)

this is how i did mine and is the best way imo

the hard part is finding which parts will work and which ones dont,

Well your going to need the engine, gearbox, wiring loom, ECU, dials & immobiliser key, brakes and probably a few other bits I've missed off. Most people who carry out the conversion themselves find it easier to just buy a donar car so you can swap everything from car to car

Ceedubya, was it a crashed TT you got it from then I take it?

yep , i bought a full salvageTT roadster and sold the bits i didnt use

still got the running gear and the roof

Nice one.

I'm thinking of a TT Roadster after the GTi

You should try and get us some videos of it mate.
