jess that,s me!! im building now a year ore 5 on this polo!!
mostly because i will get my stuf myself otherwise it,s to expensive!!
the guy from the 6n2 has pay some learnmoney as they say overhere!! 5500euro for a turbo kit on his pologti 16v... and wen the stuf is broken the company is not home..
THAT,s why i wanne do it my way ore the highway...
wel the piston ware ok but the pistonpen was 1,5mm to long!!
wiseco 77mm bore are fine... no problems with them..
the most problems are fitting the rods!!!
first time we build i had orderd the 14mm rods from scat!! that was not ok.. the stroke of the engine is 86,9.. soo the rods 144mm ware to long
stupid my! order them to fast..
so i seld the 144mm rods en bought from eaby the 136mm from g60 corrado..
but, the pistonpen was 22mm en the pistons ware 20mm.. so that,s made with how you guy,s coll it? (busses ore something like that
)
but because i yust the 136mm rods the compression was to low!!! but that,s fixed now..
8,1:1 kompression ratio...
the engines are build with my friends company in holland.. so that,s ok now.. before it was very fucked(sorry for my words)
wen you have questions you can ask me anything..
if bin builing so long now that i now a stuff ore 60.. hehehe
greetings Richard
I remember you from a few years back when you were building it. Great news that it running, and rebuild going good.
Did you have any problems getting the forged 1600 pistons for the block? I know someone with a lupo GTi 1600 16v with an eaton conversion who had awful problems getting the right pistons. Had to be modified in the end.
