polo vr6 conversion 6n

hi all and another transplant has started lol ,friend of mine decided he wanted a vr6 in his polo ,so ,his wishers are granted ,,lol
yes i know the heavy ,bla bla ,but thats what he wants so ill malke it fit,,,so now ive 2 projects on the go
the car


my old engine

removed old 1.4 lump and its time to make it fit

then chopped chassi out and re welded it ,as most modify mk3 subframes i modify the old one lol

 

looking gd so far


dont tell me this u done during your coffee break away from the caddy

 

Heavy my ****. Well, actually that is, but that helps balance out the engine

Will be watching this thread with some interest too. Always liked the Idea of Vr6's in Polo's for some reason.

 

I assume this is drive in today, driven out tomorrow?

 

haha cheers guys wants a bit of track fun ,so ,it will be a straight fit ,,well to me ,,id have it sorted in a week ,if i had the time,free,i could start another lmao ,,

 

if u fancy another project how about fitting a vr6 in the back of a polo

 

Right, I've got a Lupo and I'd like 3 W16 engines in it, by a week on Friday [] How much? []

(keep up the good work )

 

yearh thats easyly 2 weeks i can sort that ...ok

 

lol theres always one ,,,im not that good just yet,,,,

 

by heck would that be an acheivement if u could conquer that 1

 

nothings impossible,,,lmao trust me

 

im of on the look out now to see who i can find who will donate 3 w12 engines and a lupo

 

woah, i see here you get your name from....

is it a standard block?

 

std ,yes and no,,reason is theres was a bid mix up on a forium before i evern got to start on the project ,as i rebuilt this for a turbo spec,to fit in my caddy ,then i bought the later mk4 24v to make fit in my caddy ,so the guy said he was going to have a turbo vr6 in his polo ,,,which was wrong ,,so i down graded it back to standed ,but it dose have slightly lower compression and high lift cams ,along with with ,new chains/tensioners etc,as the guy wants me to turbo it as well ,when his funds are up ,this maybe a something down the pipeline lol ,at mo its std ish other then have a fueling chip to 200bhp then the stock 174,

 

couple of updates this after










piece of cake ,nothing hard about makeing one of these fit in a polo ,ive just got to beef the rear mounts up more ,and everything will algine up and do the job,u can just see the last pic were the inlet manifold is just standing proud ,,erm ,i will sort that little prob ,,no worries then ill remove the front tempory bars to make a nice cross member to tidy the job up ,,,plenty of room to add a nice turbo too,,

 

I really dont know what to say!

 

going to be a beast when finished

 

Ok i've thought of something.

I'm stunned by the amount of people on here that think this level of work is acceptable.
Your friend is gonna hurt himself in that car. Theres no strength left in that subframe and that engine mount bracket is just unbelievable.

Ok i'm done.

cheers for the coments guys ,,,hi angrybob.....so your saying because ive cut that lump from the chassi and rewelded it with strenghing plates inside ,its made the chassi weak ,,erm ,i have to say your wrong i reckon you dont know me that well ,reason it ,,,i also do crash and inpack tests on welded parts/joints to check ,and you would find the a stand car subframe /chassi/body pannels ,are basicly spot welded on 95percent of cars ,, a weak point ,,,i.e if i spot welded a engine mount on approx a spot every inch it would break off ,,if i seem weld it will crack around the weld ,,,if i stick weld it will go to the weakish part of the steel strengh,,,etc etc, so pease dont tell me my welding/chassi are WEAK,,,,,,,

regards fitting this in a polo ,,this isnt my idea ,, the engine is too heavy/loads of under steer,,but if u check ,he wants this for a straight line quarter mile runs,,,not to try zipping around arounds ,,,,but if need be ,ill ripp the rear end off and fit a 4wd set up like im doing with my caddy ,,,but cheers for adding ur post,angrybob
