Hi there recently bought my 2nd polo, got myself a 6n2 gti. Currently have the cylinder head off replacing the head gasket,valve stem seals, porting the head, new belt ,water pump and a couple of other small repairs. However since it's off I was looking into some performance cams. It's a long shot but is anybody breaking their 6n2 and has cams or know of anyone with a set, Thanks in advance

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong section of the forum (im new to posting here, long time lurker) i have a polo 9n 1.2 3 cylinder, i have heard that it is possible to swap the throttle bodies from that of a mk4 golf, is there a specific engine size from the golf that i need to get it from or will they all fit, i dont know if the golfs use a universal size or they change with engine size which i assume, any help will be appreciated. also i have had trouble of finding exhaust systems that will fit the car, i have a quote of 150 to get a custom backbox made by hand, however is there any full catback systems that you guys use on your polo's many thanks,

Hi I’m relatively new to the polo scene but have build a reasonable amount of knowledge on them already. I brought a non running mk2 Coupé s as a project. The previous owner had done a 1.4 afh engine swap, but the cam belt slipped so has suspected bend valves etc. I am looking to swap it back to the 1275cc standard engine. So have brought a mk2f breadvan as a donner ( mostly for engine parts ) and am wondering what some of the best things I can do to that engine (and the car in general) to increase BHP, performance etc ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It already has a 5 speed gear box fitted. Thanks Jack ps sorry for accidentally posting 3 times

some info on improving your mk2f GT, not a comprehensive post so feel free to add you tips these are the quick power gains • high lift cam 264 / 268 / 270 - the biggest gain is made here. dont forget new tappets • 4 branch manifold and exhaust system - dont go to large or it will cost you power • bigger injectors • better air filter • chipped ecu those probably account for 95% of the gain you can get from the engine the next lot help to pull a few extra horses out for those who really want to put the work in: • skimmed head / port matched with inlet / exhaust • de-wedged ported throttle body • lightened flywheel - not really power but will spin the engine up faster. be warned if the fly is to light the crank will wear its bearings in opposition to porting the inlet you can use a NZ/G40 inlet with smaller holes to fill in the gap created by the highlift cam moving the powerband higher above all refresh the electric and cooling systems to have a solid runner

hi, my current carb has a fault auto choke and it stead of fixing it i want to replace it with a more tunable efficient carb. However i need help getting the right carb for a slight performance on my 1ltr. I will not do an engine swap as my engine on has 19,000 miles on it. Can people help out as I'm not sure what carb is subtle and weather stuff for it will be custom. Would this carb fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-JETTA-1272cc-1983-90-WEBER-32-34-DMTL-CARB-CARBURETTOR-REPLACES-PIERBURG-/201021565958?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2ecdd1ac06

I Currently have an '89 bread van 4 speed 1.3.. almost completely standard apart from being lowered. and i have bad news... I am much slower than a corsa 1.2 in straight line acceleration and top end. Now i NEED to make my daily a little quicker to avoid the obvious embarrassment before i lose all self respect. Where should i start to see some gains? I have considered a gt cam but they are few and far between. Gk inlet manifolds have also been considered but again the rarity is driving me mad. AFH engine swap is on the cards for down the line maybe but I'm looking for something to do short term that will at least help me pull through the gears a little more. Parts from other engines that might help me out? Cheers
