ok i take it your not tech heads then, when it comes to engines?

i take it your very impatient youl get a reply, wait!!!

sorry, i want to buy the new engine and fit it as soon as i can !!

1.3 GT (3f) engine and 1.3 supercharged G40 (py) engine.
these should both go in pretty easily as long as you have all the associated bits (loom ECU etc)

Pretty much any Mk 1/2/3 Polo engine will go in, it's just how much jigging about with vacuum hoses and wiring you're prepared to go in for.

The easiest way would be to go for a 1.3 Single Point, as this is almost a straight swap with no woring to do. If you're up to a bit of wiring, a GT's probably the best bet for the money.

However, if you're just coming off a ban, your insurance is going to be high, and an engine swap could quite easily put it more towards stupidly high.

as above really.

only thing i will add is i've got a complete gt conversion kit up for sale give me a pm if your interested!

Hmmm was hoping for something a bit more tasty like 1.6 or 1.8, also i imagen it will be hard to source a 1.3 gt lump theese days



ok then say if i go for the 1.3i, can i buy cams for it etc and stuff to actully upgrade my engine, me mates are a whizz when it comes to mechanics, but their love is for fords, but there willing to help me and (like i say) have a good knowlege on mechanics, but not vee dubs?!?

i think u could probably get a mk4 1.4 16v (100bhp) engine in there. i've seen one put in2 a mk1 polo in belgium!
would be a fair amount of work involved tho!!


ps-welcoem to the forum bud!

i think im going to try an find a 1.3 or 1.3gt, iv phoned round local breakers but no look tho YET....

Drop in a 1600 16v out of the polo gti, nice and easy 125bhp straight off and revvy. Goes straight in and can use a 085 gearbox. Put throttle bodies on it! Perhaps sum complete 40mm Jenvey ones for £400? Run on megasquirt, nice and cheap and heady power. That or carbs, alot of rally cars run 1600 16v on carbs, revs the nuts off them, sounds awesome!

GT engines (3F) can easily get them from Sandburn Auto's in Coventry.

dude, sounds like a plan, im guna have a scout about and see if theres any knocking about, cheers for that mate!!

what year is it out of and also what engine code??

this is some of the work my m8s have done(are capable of), check the turb engine out thats just been built too!!
