1992 VW Polo Coupe 1.0L Bike carbed

[94bruce]

Hi

This is my 92 Polo coupe have owned it a few years now.

Has been lowered and fitted with BBS RA wheels.

The engine is a 1.0L fitted with a dual valve spring 1.3 GT head, High lift GT cam and Bike carbs.

This is how it looked when I got it;


And now;

It goes well for a 1.0L but all the power Is right up the rev range. But it is only a 1.0l at the end of the day. I have not had it on a dyno but I am hoping for near the 70hp, it had about 45hp standard.

Polo 1.3 GT's had 75 so to get a 1.0L near that would be good.

Are you running the standard exhaust manifold? you might be better on a 4 branch to help it flow better

Ahh yeah, that would be wicked! I don't see why that couldn't be achieved, as above, a four branch would most definetly help the engine flow better, have you also thought about doing work on the cylinder head? That could make a sweet bit of power difference.

[94bruce]

I will get a 4 branch eventually, but the standard exhaust is the same on the 1.0, 1.3 and GT's. So the way I looked at it was if it could flow ok for the bigger cc's it would be ok for my 1.0L.

I did not do any head work when it was off as the Polo GT Head I put on it has bigger ports and valves than my standard 1.0L head. It also came with dual valve springs and a High lift cam.

But I would like to get it dyno and see from there. I want it to be a Polo GT killer and they have 75HP.

Thanks

This is the same kind of thing we used to do with minis 1275 head on a 998 and the 1275 cam and it would be quicker than the 1275

Bit of a update.
Took headlight tint off and splitter and also fitted fog lights




Have also fitted vw2 callipers with vented disks and 200mm golf drums







Fitted trumpets to the carbs

Hi mate, what carbs are you using? And what was involved in it to complete? I've got a spare MK2 engine and wouldn't mind learning new bits and pieces
