Polo Gti 1.8t
Hey Peeps

I've just joined the forum. Looking forward to all the advice that i can get. I own a Polo Gti (1.8t) and come from South Africa.:D
 
Hi and a warm welcome. The 1.8T didn't come as standard in the Polo. Did you do the conversion yourself? There are quite a few mods you can do. Do you know which power version of the engine you have? Most 1.8T's will easily go to 200bhp with a simple remap.

Thanks dude. Well the polo gti (sa version) is standard with a 1.8t motor (110kw). I'm planning on doing the remap, it apparently adds up to 30kw on the fly...i'll let u know once i did it;)

the polo gti only comes with a 1.6 fsi over here. wonder is that was to save sales on the golf.

Have you already done anything to it

GTi = 1.6fsi, dude, that aint cool. The G5 Gti is quite common here and bloody expensive, the polo is the cheaper alternative.

Planning on doing software end nov, apparently adds abt 30kw on the fly. I have a set of 18" wheels on at the moment, not really a mod, i know
 
christ i cant work out kw to bhp to save myself torques not a problem however let me doo some sums
150 bhp is 110 Kw
1 bhp is 0.7333333333kw

a remap on this engine shoud see you around 190-195bhp

190bhp = 139kw

but its the torque that your really after

currently you have 155 ftlb (about 210Nm) after wards you should have 218 ftlb (296 Nm )

think the new polo gti has been fitted with the 1.8t

Yes something like that...139kw...not bad at all in that small body....:lol:
 
We've had 3 versions of the Polo in South Africa, think first version was launch 1997 - 1998 (stand to be corrected here), it was the 6n version, Polo Playa and Polo Classic. Came in 1.4i, 1.6i and 1.8i. 62, 74 and 82kw respectively. I had the playa 1.6i, lovely car. Then we got the 9n in 2003, and later think 2004-2005 facelift version 9n2...
