- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Finally, a Polo update. I've had so many questions and people asking me about this so finally here it is.
In this episode you join me in the garage fixing the car having had a headgasket failure last month. This is me finishing the rebuild whilst talking everything carbs and hopefully asking a lot of questions.
It's a long video, but stay tuned for some goodness at the end!
Thanks for watching as always, and thanks for the support!

Great video mate, I’m in the middle of part sourcing to do this conversion myself so this was massive help in explaining everything at a nice steady pace, I was planning to go down the mk2 dizzy ignition route so again loads of help . Looking nice and tidy too 😊
@Razcal_Worx thanks man, just glad I can put info out there to help people really, I know I struggled when doing mine so figured I'd just put it out there! Good luck with the conversion dude! Any questions give me a shout!
@@The_PoloChannel thanks mate
Top work mate. Ive got a mk2f breadvan i bought from Salisbury just before NYE. ABD converted, tatty as hell but enjoying myself playing with the motor. Currently 77bhp and 137nm on SPI. Hopefully going for itbs with my cam soon.
Very nice man!! Sounds like fun! Stay tuned for more videos man, got some lined up now!
Great stuff, very valuable information! I got the mk2 polo, with carburetor and mechanical fuel pump, should be pretty simple to set up. And having done an engine swap before, I understand the pains with the wiring... it took me 2 weeks to just extract the necessary wiring from a donor car, while also removing everything not neccessary for the engine
Nice man. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah definitely took me a minute to figure out wiring and that mate. But my setup works so if it can help other people I will
Amazing stuff mate. I'm in Surrey too. Literally about to have this done(professionally as I'm rubbish) to my 1988 breadvan! Subscribed!
Hey mam thanks for the support, I wish you all the best with the conversion dude, always willing to help where I can! Salisbury, not quite Surrey haha 👍🏻
Yo. Did the 50mm trumpet kit fit nicely? Wasn't sure how much of the optional extras I actually need for mine from DanST. I have a 1988 breadvan, it's the smaller engine. Thanks in advance.
@lazyreefer8749 yeah, so the 50mm trumpets kit is the perfect kit for a bike carb setup on a small block engine in a Polo. Really impressed with the fit of them mate 👌🏻
Ah thanks mate. I'll mention your channel when I put my order in(might get you some more stickers)🤣
@lazyreefer8749 haha, thanks mate 👌🏻
I want to do this to my AEE polo , also what valve cover is that .. there isn't a lot of tuning here in the US for these
Yeah man, for sure!! This is a one year only valve cover, believe it one was 1986 Polo's and was a special model I think. They're kind of few and far between over in the UK though so I imagine very hard for you to get out there unless you have it shipped from the UK or EU. No, tbh, tuning is again hard to come by over here for these too, but an AFR gauge is massively helpful
Can the mk1 polo be a daily driver?
What conversions from standard would it need to be a daily driver?
How much should it cost to do a mk1 polo bike carb conversion?
Leicestershire..
Thanks for the video
@Troy-eo4ic I wouldn't entirely be able to comment for the MK1 as a daily. I've used my standard 1.3 MK2F daily and it was always pretty mint. I've early the earlier mech heads can be a bit sluggish compared to modern traffic. Again, not sure on bike carb conversion for a MK1 but presumably very very similar if not exactly the same as mine!
Great video, when you say you can run it with the spi ecu how does this work as surely the lack of TPS and MAF sensors would throw the ecu into a fit?
So, to my knowledge, there is no MAF sensor, and to be honest I don't think it has a TPS either, or if it is it'll be very primitive. Also, because the car has no engine management light/system so to speak, then you don't get any EML light or limp mode or anything on the dash. It would be difficult to answer this in its entirety myself, as I've not gone down this route. But some friends of mine are running this setup, and I know it works. Whether you subsequently forego power as the ignition advance is ECU controlled, I'm not sure but I know they'll run and work with all the fuel stuff unplugged. If you wanted some more info, I run a page on Facebook called Bike Carb Conversions. One of my admins, Toby has his car running on bike carbs with the SPI ECU etc, he would be able to give more information. Thanks for checking the video out! I'll drop the link to our facebook page below!

@@The_PoloChannel brilliant thanks for the info
What is the benefit of converting to carbs ? I have a polo coupe mk2 style 1993 model year
So for me, I fitted quite a big camshaft, at which point decided I needed more fuel, hence I chose the bike carbs. Throttle response is improved, they look incredible, and the sound is unbelievable 🤌🏻
