If you do not have access to a good machine shop then do not bother increasing the bore.A light hone + Transmission fluid + stock pistons will do the job fine.

I have access to a good shop ,maby bore it to 82mm?
nah I want to do the pistons and have a safer 8.5:1 comp

Go all out and make it a 2.2 stroker, upgrade the valve train for 9k rpms (or make it a solid lifter head) and use the 3076! That would be a killer combo!

[mescaline]

Fun project, not as insane as say...this -> http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2970226 but anyway.

Har jag inte set den topplock på blocket?

Give it a couple weeks

[20aeman]

Hmmm...my semi budget build would be
83mm pistons
ie rods
supertech exhaust valves, valvesprings, retainers
Sem manifold

[themachasy]

Id run stock pistons and IE rods. Its been done on a 3076, it works fine.

I like the list but if your gonna overbore anyway may as well spend the extra on 2.0TFSI crank stroker. Ive read the cast AEG cranks hold around 400whp but I dont know myself nor would I even chance it. Just some of your options

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

went with a light hone and ordered som stuff from Wizard-of-OD
,new bore is 81.012mm after the honing

je 8.5:1 pistons
scat rods
arp main studs
bearings

,and I will try to fit my vr6 subframe on the lupo chassi
,lupo subframe is a joke

still want to know how much I can rev the stock head ,7500rpm?

7500 easily, 8K won't hurt anything occasionally. Nice project.

weels is ordered 7.5x16 front and 16x9 rear

started to do the engine mounts

[badger5]

fun little car. I think your going for to much power for the little car tho.. light, and traction limited.
My wifes little lupo below:-

she very kindly let me enjoy it round Oulton Park race circuit here in the UK a comple of years back.

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

400hp to much ,hehe ,Iam used to drive a vr6 turbo 700hp

spinns tires 1-4th ,so no fun

[5inchMAF]

[boosted b5]

well dont say i did'nt warn you.
lupo is a very light car to start with. sub 1000kg (970kg my wifes)

good luck with it tho.. its going to be a very nice build by the looks of it.

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

front and back mounts are done!

[velocity196]

omfg that thing is gunna scream!

[brookrock]

again ....WOW

[Adam@Unitronic.ca]

Nasty.

[speeding-g60]

traction limited..... ask me how i know.

you will spin even thru 5th gear now.....

[Rallye 1.8T]

Nice work!

I bought myself another Lupo for a daily and audi A3 1.8T engine

How did you fit Vr6 hubs? Only hubs or complete bearing carriers?

On twin V6 engined Lupo I did some welding on control arms to get wheel in center of arch...

For 1.8T project I found polo 6N2 16V front bearing carriers and I will use Vr6 5x100 hubs

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

started to do the exhaust manifold ,collector is done

[vr6 nitrous (sweden)]

got a nice deal on a new garret gt3071r ,with precision .70 compressor housing and precision 5 bolt .48A/R hot side

anyone tryed this small a/r on a 1.8l? think it will be good to around 350hp without to much backpreasure and with a super nice spool up ,what do you think?

[lucas13dourado]

Sounds good!
