Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Vr6 engine in a polo ?

I was reading some were that a vr6 golf engine would go in a 1997 polo is ths possible ??

yes i believe this id true with few modifications to the engine bay great idea power to weight very quick

Hmmmmmmm brain is ticking as I have just got my hands on a polo and was thinking a g40 engine but this has been done a few
Times before so I think a vr6 engine would be unique and fast

Any conversion is possible with a little time and effort, I was looking at a Mk1 fiesta with a V6 cosworth engine & rear wheel drive the other day on eBay. That would be great fun but it needs a shortened propshaft.

Now that would be fun , worlds fast go-kart comes to mind , I am not really good with mods my self so would need some one with a bit of experience an know how , do u know eny garages that take conversion work on ?

I don't know of any, what I'd do is search google to see if anyone else has done it and if there's a step by step guide.
I know there's special engine mounts available on eBay for putting a C20LET (2.0 twin cam 16v turbo) in a corsa, maybe there's some things for polos?
Was the G40 supercharged?

Yer the g40 is supercharged , I am sure I have seen engine mounts some were for the polo carnt remember were tho but will have another look , I think if it is possible to do it would be a very quick car

The g40 engine is 1.3 supercharged

yeah man, it would be well quick, worth doing, the VR6 is quick and its a heavier car.

Cheers for the input will be looking in to it abit more

i know someone who would be able to do it for you but chances are it wont be cheap to do

shame they are heavy for a small car, bike engines are an easy conversion. mind you, you could go for twin bike engine

Yer eny help would be great , I have seen a conversion done and it looks like a lot if work with welding ect so I know it wont be cheap but just to get a price and have an idea on how much would be a start

Unfortunatly I think its one of those jobs where you have to write a blank cheque.

If its not a common conversion, then who knows what complications can arise. IMO if your on a budget, its a DIY project to keep costs down

Ive seen a V6 in a Mini and a V8 in a Morris Minor!!! A famous one from the seventies was grafting the body from a Capri onto the floorpan of a Mustang!!

There is a polish guy who put 2 in his lupo
