Heart Transplant For My Arosa

[SheffieldKid]

Hi Everyone, I Haven't Been On Here In A While I Hope Your All O.K I Was Just Wondering If Anyone Of You Knew How Much And How Difficult It Would Be To Put A Ibiza GTi Engine Into My Little 1.0 Arosa Any Information I Would Be Most Grateful Thanks Everyone

old polo gti lump?

certainly a lot of hassle for a 2.0 - you may as well fit the 'best' engine you can for money/effort

chassis mods, including welding custom engine mounts to the chassis legs

actually to be unique stick in a 1.6 v-tech type r engine

cough no no no no

Suppose it would be unique to put a knackerd ford cross flow engine in, but then again you'd attract attention for all the wrong reasons

 

[SheffieldKid]

What engine would be best to fit do you think then ?

 

[allallyouyou]

Id just buy a new vehicle, would be too much effort

A few lupo's have 1.8T's in them, not sure in the work involved, but a IHI 330bhp+ Arosa wouldnt be slow

 

[SheffieldKid]

Would it be easier and cheaper for me to just turbo my 1.0 ? what do you think

 

[lunalupi]

Neither really, you just need to accept a 1.0 will never be fast, and unless you can have it as a project and do all the work yourself, its better to get another car thats faster

 

[BlackCupraa]

What sort of money are you looking at spending is the first question??

 

[SheffieldKid]

As much as i need to spend i know it isn't going to be cheap buy heck you only live once !

 

[Fidge]

1.8t Turbo mate deffo! couple of grand tops if your doing most of the work.

 

[SheffieldKid]

got a price on the 2.0 gti lump £2300 aprx including engine wiring loom ecu labour etc etc

 

[m0rk]

who's that from? I bet they've not looked at the car

 

[SheffieldKid]
