DOHC engine for polo 6n

I am seriously interested in an engine upgrade for my 6n polo at some point and I have seen some with 1.6 16v and 1.8 16v DOHC conversations and wondered what I should look for and what prices I should expect etc?

 

EA827 16v conversions are not applicable to the 6N, more the 6K chassis ( Polo Classic or Caddy)
Some have squeezed 06A 1.8Ts. Usually what is more applicable is the EA111 1.6 16v GTI engine.
Suppliers down here have done this indeed.

 

Thanks, I will look into this!

 

If you get this done, keep on top of the cam belt(s) servicing. They run a strange arrangement of two belts, with a small idler up the back. This small idler must spin at a zillion mph.
If a right mess when the belt/idler fails.
I have fixed a couple. Including replacing pistons, bent conrods etc

To keep in the Polo engines there are a couple choices...
AVY ( or similar ) its a port injected 125 hp 1600,
There are the more recent direct injected engines as BLF ( or similar)
OR you can go for an AFH 1400 engine and by the use of a 1600 crank and conrods it becomes a 1600

 

Thanks all for the words of wisdom.
