Dear All,
Would like some constructive help. Am looking to swap the 1.4 AEX out of my partners Mk4/6N Polo. I have done numerous engine swaps in the past, e.g. 2.0 8v into Mk1 Golf, 1.8 & 2.0 16v into Mk1 & Mk2 Golf, 1.8T's etc. All of my past has been to do with Golf's as opposed two polo's a mk2 and this mk4, I'm quite new to modding mk4 polo's my partner is nagging me for an engine transplant, I drive a 310bhp Mk5 Golf Edition 30 and a 16v KR'd Helios Blue Mk1 Golf, my partner is getting annoyed with the Mk4. I have an abundance of engines to choose from, having had so much fun with the KR 1.8 16v Mk2 Golf engine I would like to know what if anyone here has fitted one. I've seen a few in mk2 Seat Ibiza's, couple of questions if you have fitted one :-
Do the engine mount locations need to be moved in the bay to account for the KR ?
Does the 020 gearbox fit, if not which box do people use and what driveshafts are required ? Which hubs do I then need to accomodate the driveshafts - mk2 or mk3 golf gti ?
Is it also a matter of splicing the KR loom into the 6N fuse box or is an aftermarket loom available for the transplant ?
If anyone could be of assistance it would be greatly appreciated. :smiley:
