Polopolus Engine in a 912
Polopolus Engine in a 912
Hi I wondered if anyone in the UK has fitted a Polopolus engine in to their 912.
I spoke to Dean Polopolus and he said he had supplied an engine to a 912 owner over here and wondered if they were a member of DDK and had any feedback. I know they are mentally expensive but I am thinking of going over to see Dean combined with a holiday and chat through him supplying an engine.
Many thanks
Mike

Would it not work out a lot less mental expensive to put a 911 engine in a 912 ?

Re: Polopolus Engine in a 912
Hi yes it would probably be cheaper but the advantage is that you retain the lower weight and the engine still sits 6 inches further forward so you maintain the 912’s better balance with the power of a tuned 2.7 six cylinder engine.mycar wrote:Would it not work out a lot less mental expensive to put a 911 engine in a 912 ?

Re: Polopolus Engine in a 912
The Polo website looks great doesn't it ! There's a 912 featured.

...which also looks great.
Edit. How much do these engines cost ?

Hi yes the 912 does look great and provides fantastic power delivery. I’m hooked for one and will be going down this route.mycar wrote:The Polo website looks great doesn't it ! There's a 912 featured.

Saw Mr RUF’s 356 when visited and they had built a cut down 911 motor to a 4 cylinder for it

Yes hoping to have a look at that when I go across but think I will stick with the normally aspirated Polo enginemycar wrote:I seem to remember reading there was a turbo version in the pipeline ?

Re: Polopolus Engine in a 912
Found it !
Here we are.
No doubt there will a few body/engine mount mods required,
but it would be great to have the first one in the UK.

Re: Polopolus Engine in a 912
Sorry, but that's not a Polo engine - it's an aftermarket VW (Pauter or similar)...

Don't worry Keith, I'd imagine he was being facetious
