It's alright your a Fen lad I will let you off

low blow low blow :(

Oh I was kidding big hug?

fook it I recommend a RS4 V6 biturbo do it you won't

BOB, you gotta do whatever you wanna do!

the prob with forums is 75% of people say 20v, 20v, 20v, although 75% of them dont even own a 20v. this is just my opinion.

if i was you, id start with the cam, i know you mentioned somewhere else that you looked at CAT cams...give them ago....i might get some for my valver this summer.

Talking of G40's how about a turboed G40 engine - easily make 180PS with a few choice mods, nice lightweight block but a bit of a pain to fit and the wiring would be a nightmare but its something to think about it.

have thought about it. but can never seem to find any.

Yeah its going to be a bit of a hassle finding one as theres not that many left

I have no idea why youd replace a relitively modern engine with such an old 1 (although a good engine).

Boooooost


I bet the AFH design is not much newer than the PY

Personally I think you need more of an idea of what you want out of the car. The AFH, although a half decent engine is still only producing 100bhp and if you're after more power it doesn't really matter how old the engine is that's producing the extra power. The AFH is not really suitable for forced induction unless you're going to fork out for some decent rods. And that doesn't take into account the fact that the gearboxes are far from ideal in terms of strength.

My 2p anyway.

My advice is to buy another car

Nail and head tbh lol

BOB.... My mate is running a BAM in his mk4 polo and is one of the hardest conversions to do.!!
Its silly quick and been re-mapped to near 300whp and scares the livin day lights outa me, Even the golf ive got with the AUM tweaked to near 250bhp and is a propa handfull in the dry (when running right)

Poss best bet is have a word with stormdevelopments as they did a 16v polo with the Eaton45 running just over 200bhp a while ago and they could point you in the right direction.

Why take a classic characterful engine which by your own admission are becoming scarse and then split it up?

As in stripping the charger off and putting a turbo on it?

Oh because you can't put it back at all is what you are saying? I love my G lader but I know its not the right way to go in terms of reliabilty and power.

Oh yea I agree theres a limit to what they can achieve but I think in stripping it down your only after the low compression block anyway, which can be achieved on any engine with a set of pistons or a couple of head gaskets.

It's just my opinion that g40/60's should be left complete, it's all about the noise, power and the fact of saying "Yea mate, G60" lol, not "Yea it's a G60 engine but I took the supercharger off, strapped a turbo on it and sold the charger on ebay..." Bang, one less proper G60 on the road.

Just my opinion lol
