Here´s some pics of the spare head as promised.







And here is a pic of the block.

looks like that thing would flow LOADS better than a US spec diesel head..

Great car! Not many "breadvan" polo's around, thats for sure. good job.

The cross flow head is indeed an interesting one eh? but, VW seemed happy to use counterflow for so long, it can't be so bad.

i just wanna bump this cause it was cool

[polo_td]

Hi again.
Started with the car project again.
This time i will rebuild the pump ith LDA.
The car exterior will be wider due to rear axel mods.
Something like this, Polo rallye style!!!



Interior will be updated aswell.

Brakes are done, 256mm ventilated disc.



Rear disc convertion, Masterbrakecylinder uppgraded to 23mm instead of 20mm. Braided hoses all around Hoses and pads haven´t arrived yet thou.




A bit messy to get the handbrake wires to work, i did a sleeve to be able to keep the original wires.
Rear camber angle adjusted to -2 degree.

Intecooler from BMW 525tds and turbo from the same car and a new manifold will be done.
Oilcooler and sandwich plate from Volvo Group-A with internal termostat is already mounted.

Clutch and pressure plate upgraded to a high spec. version (200bhp, 280Nm)
200mm instead of 180mm as std.

i would say these heads probably don't flow better than a 1.6td head, although they are cross flow, cross flow is not really better in terms of flow, just better for heat and that is negligible.  aba heads hardly flow better than 8v counter flow heads with similar sized valves.  but i would say judging by how close the port is to the deck, both ports make a very hard 90 degree turn into the chamber hurting flow, and also even tho that head is cross flow the intake ports are right next to the prechamber where there is ALOT of heat.  cool engine regardless, i just doubt it flows any better
