Hi there.

 

Here is the thing, I'm from Colombia and currently own a Felicia 1.3 carburated, I was thinking about the Felicia 1.6 aee engine but for what I see, the 1.8 AP from the golf mk3 looks pretty much the same. Does any one knows if this engine fits as the aee does? Without make the engine mounts?

 

I like this engine because is pretty cheap where I live and should be a good improvement.

 

Thank you all for your time, hope you can help me.

If I googled right, AP is EA827 engine - closer to 1.9D AEF than 1.6 AEE, which is EA111.

EA827 family is slanted backwards, in Felicia (and 6N Polo), the 1.9D was modified so it could be slanted forwards - I'm not sure if the same modifications can be applied to other engines.

 

Anyway, both VW engines were mounted in Felicia through an adaptor plate and custom flywheel - they won't bolt directly to the gearbox. Also, the engine mount was different for VW engines.

Look up old TeflonTom topics on various engines swap - He did Fabia's 2.0MPI with Skoda gearbox, too.

Thanks for the help. For what I can see, is not as easy as I believe, should be better use de Felicia 1.6 aee or try to squeeze a few hp out of this old 1.3 carburated

Nowadays if you are not Old-School mechanic or have a repair-shop near buy with a friend that knows about Carburettors i think it's a nightmare.

Better install a new engine that you can upgrade (ECU-chip, turbo etc) easily.

 

A little late but here I am again.

 

Rigth now i'm wornking on rebuild a AEE engine to swap the 1.3 that came with the car. And here the question, do I have to change the engine and gear mounts to fit the AEE engine with the 1.3 gearbox?.

 

Does any one here has done anything like this?

 

Thanks for any advise you can give me.

passenger side yes

Here in Colombia the passanger side is on the right side, but I guess only have to change the one that is rigth in front of the timing belt?

Yes I'm from eu so same passenger side

So, what you are telling me is that I only have to change that engine mount, and those on the gearbox fits just Bolt on?

Maybe @nta16 may disagree but one of the things that i envy in US is how can do car swap-rebuild and with some paper work can have that car in the street.

Thus you can build your ''dream car'' and have it for life to enjoy it.

From what I have seen the far too lax way of some of the states has ordinary standard vehicles as death-traps and dangerous for other road users with complete-idiot owners/drivers making and keeping them that way.  I am not for T's level of controls but you cannot have total anarchy or total freedom because there are far too many people that want to take advantage and/or idiots.

 

I have no idea but Columbia may have even looser regulations than those states of the good 'ld US of A - or they might have very strict regulations that restrict what can be done to alter or change the vehicle or things on the vehicle.

 

The UK is very much in the middle.  Cars over 40 years old do not need the annual MoT test (they still need to be legal and roadworthy) or pay the annual "Road Tax" there are restrictions on changing ,major components like engine, transmission, suspension but these are not strongly checked but should be declared for insurance and cars cannot be used on roads without insurance.

 

@Grimdall have a search and look at the threads here (and perhaps on Classic SKODA Projects forum) as I thought the Polo engine swap was done by others (but I could be wrong, my memory isn't the best).

 

Now i'm rebuilding an aee engine to make a direct swap (I hope) but tu use it with bike carburators (for now)

So it this a project engine swap or car, rather than just a change of engine for need or want?

 

Others will know better than I and it depends which bike carbs but they be more suitable to fast road use rather than everyday normal road driving.  Getting a steady consistent tractable engine with multiple bike carbs for normal or fast road use may involve other changes to engine and engine running.

 

Actually this proyect is a long, step by step one. 

Because of the budget, first it goes analog (carbs and distributor).

The next step will be a standalone efi and will finish the engine part of my proyect with low boost turbo, and why low? Because I don't eant to break any record, just want a fun and reliable car to drive

First with Velocity stack, them MPI and later turbo light kit?

I am not an expert but this will take years and lot of money, many exhaust-ECU changes, new wriring etc.

Yes, I am aware of this, the project will take a good time and money, but is what I got and how i'm enjoying spending time with my father

With velocity stacks and relative improvements (camshafts, valves, engine block etc) you will have a very fast car mainly for track days and non-city drivingable.

 

You won't like it if it turns to stock with 1.3 MPI engine.

My final goal is a 1.6 engine with standalone ecu and turbo @ 8psi, give or take. And hope to reach 100 hp at the wheel.

 

This is my personal car and project, and want to use it as a daily as well
