gavinvr6 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 its probably been asked a million times but i didnt find nothing really conclusive using the search.Anyway i've thought about vr6 convertable but the cost of buying a usable convertable then insurance for my bird puts that out of my reach however will a vr6 engine go into a polo? im looking at an n-reg (mk3 i beleive. not g40 shape) and hoping its just a case of similar job to putting it in a mk2.if im way off the mark here please tell me or if anyone knows anytthing or of a vr6 polo owner i can talk to please pass my details on.

thegoth 5 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 None that I know of on the forum. try youtube for crazy foreigners having a go. I recall a loony lithuanian putting one into a Lupo! Link to post Share on other sites
amazak 3 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have seen a polo caddy on edition38 with a vr lump, also remember it posted on the for sale section, was green..... Link to post Share on other sites
paulshears 1 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 in the Golf mag a few years back there was a picture from a German show of a mk3 Polo with a VR6 in the frontso it's possible, but i'd think the sump would be very close to the groundplus the front suspension on mk3 Polo's (& mk1 & mk2) is rubbishwould be a LOT of work......mk4 Polo (6N) would be far easiera diesel could be a good starting point.... they have "big block" engines were as the petrol car's use "small block" engines that can trace their history back to the Audi 50's 900cc enginemk4 Polo saloon would be even better....... they use the same front end as the Caddy van & are very similar to mk3 Golf subframe & suspension wise Link to post Share on other sites

gavinvr6 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 there is a guiy on 'volkstorque' i think it was called. he is in doncaster that can get a vr in a 6n polo. by modifying the front frame instead of moding a mk3 one, looks like a decent jobas well, is a build thread on it Link to post Share on other sites

gavinvr6 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 judging by the amount of work involved what with widening the front chassis i think its gunna be a little bit beyond what i can do and seriously doubt i could afford to get that kind of work done. hmmmm was a nice idea though.and i suppose a fwd r32 in a lupo is out of the question also lol Link to post Share on other sites
