Re: My Polo, Update 25/6
Because i can afford to do it now. and i still miss having a fiesta... and would you believe it - the veedub scene isnt all its cracked up to be, everythings double the money and double the effort!
anyway, cba with a big update on how good my car is going to be.
ive bought another 1.4 valver engine (100bhp, where my is a mapped 75bhp) and full service kit. two head gaskets and im getting a 2mm decomp plate made up.
anyone guess whats happening?

Re: My Polo, This update should be fun. 2/7.

dvla came knocking again - told me i dont have a ford so they're towing it
yeah you're on the money, as ive got the bug for more power and its the easiest/funnest way of doing it, got inspiration from a guy on clubpolo who had it done, used an eaton m45 with megasquirt on standard internals and got 180bhp with a set of cams.
Que the "no youre not, you'll f**k it" "you're stupid" "omg, you'll never do it" comments.
if it turns out to be too much im just gonna drop the other engine in and have it as 100bhp as its a straight swap with the ecu...

Re: My Polo, This update should be fun. 2/7.
mans got a point though, in a shallow attempt here im gonna try save you money and heartache of trying.. dont
lets face it, you couldn't even take a OHV engine from your fiesta, hows you gonna bolt and plumb in a turbo/SC?

Re: My Polo, This update should be fun. 2/7.
to be fair these 1.4s respond very well to a mini cooper s charger, a mate used to have one, made 160odd i think...
small chargers thou so dont expect a trademark whine from it
