ABF into polo

can anyone help after crashing my mark 2 golf im on the look out for new project. i took the ABF 2l 16v engine from my smashed up golf and im thinking of fitting it in my j reg polo coupe. has anyone done this or does anyone know how to do it or if it is possible. i have the full engine,box and harness. any help would be good help. thanks

 

Do one of these they look so cool.



No idea about putting it your polo tho sorry.

 

I can't help you either..

But do it!

 

Not a clue mate, sounds cool though; do it!

 

If you got the money you can do anything, can't think I've ever seen it done, probley not the easyest conversion going due to size of the polo.

 

polo has a fair bit of space , a friend is putting the newer polo gti engine into a mk2 breadvan, seems to be plenty of room

 

polo 2 dont have a subframe mounted engine like the golf does ....so lots of fabrication would be involved

prob easier to sell the abf for and find a good gt lump

 

Its been done but your looking at 5k plus to do it. Unless you are very skilled with a welder.

Cheers

im pritty good with a welder and i think the golf sub frame may bolt in place of the polo. i also think the front end has to be seem welded its alot of work and i dont know anyone who has done so ill give it a go. whats the worst thing that could happen i fxxk up a polo......woopi doo no biggy there then lol

 

Lol I like your attitude. Let us know how it goes

 

Good luck. Been done b4 but with a kr engine. i dont think the extra height of the ABF engine will fit.

 

can be done using a kit from a german company (forgot name) but it lowers the engine down which = sump closer to tarmac!

Easiest conversion is a g40 engine,as they bolt straight in and are good for 115ish standard. the problem is finding one!

 

EDIT

Slazman or salzman or summit very close!
