1.1-1.3 conversion

apart from engine and box, what else would i need to change to do a conversion from the 1.1 in my c model, to a 1.3 from a driver? is the stuff like carb/exhaust inlet/outlet the same or different?, and anything else id need to know, cheers

im pretty sure you can use same gearbox, exhaust, driveshafts and gearlinkages dude.

im pretty sure the only thing youd need to change is the actual block n head pal but dont quote me on that.

Carb might be jetted slightly differently and gearbox slightly different ratios.

Lot of effort for an extra 5bhp :dontknow:

Use the 1.3 engine & Carb with the 1.1 downpipe and 1.1 gearbox.

Couple of wires need changine to the carb depending on if a manifold heater and electro choke or anti dieseling valve is fitted.

Depending on the rear water rail you may have to blank of a stub.

Power may be a marginal increase but you get a bit more torque too..

is all the ancillaries the same, like starter and alternator, apart from the carb and a couple of wires, and is the 1.3 driver engine the same as the 1.3 from a mk2 polo? for the sake of trying to get an engine a few years younger,and slighly off topic, is the servo and master cylinder off a 1.8 8v mk2 a good setup for better brake power, and is the 16v one even better? cheers, jim

No the 8V servo/mater cylinder is no better.

The anciliaries can be swapped from your 1.1.

Later Hydraulic head cars will need the Ignition AMP and loo  if you wnat to retain the electronic ignition ( recomended )

Not that much between the two to be worthy of it, my mate had a 1.1 that was faster than my 1.3 and I put a 1.1 in for a 1.3 when a scrap yard sold me the wrong engine, never noticed the difference.

I would imagine the 1.3 from the polo is a different kettle of fish however

As others have said it's not really worth it unless you use the later (post-86?) hydraulic engine which your Polo engine may be? This is more refined, more tunable and you're liekly to find a better example.
