Hello everyone! I have a golf 4 1.6 16v (AUS) and am planning a vr6 swap in future, but I still don't have the money for it. So I read somewhere that you can swap a polo 6n2 gti 1.6 16v cams, injectors, and use its ecu to gain ~20hp. So untill I get the money for vr6 I thought this could keep me busy. I already have BMC CDA intake and catless exhaust with just resonator. The problem is the polo engine uses vvt and golf one does not but this should not be a problem as long as I use polo ecu and whole polo head, right? Also if this is true, can I use Golf intake and exhaust manifolds or do I need polo ones. And is there anything else I can swap from polo (maybe golf manifolds can fit a polo head, but polo manifolds are better... stuff lile that) This polo model is getting old and I think I can get the parts for cheap. With polo head, bmc intake, catless exhaust and ecu remap on the end, maybe I can pull ~30hp. If there is a thread with this topic, I am sorry for making a new one and can you please link it. Thanks!
doesnt apply directly to you but might have some tidbits: https://www.clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/1-4-16v-aua-tuning.286423/ I'd say save your time and money though, instead spend it on suspension and braking upgrades instead
