Turbo Supercharged G60

Just wondering if anyone here knows of anyone who has done it, it seems some of the supers cars use a turbo super setup. Just wondered how easy it would be to do?

not with a G60 charger anyway.

I think there's a guy called G60IHI that has a turbo'd G60 engine. Around 300hp IIRC.

I don;t see any reason why you couldn't do it with a G-Lader. Just need the right ECU to be able to set it all up with

it's called compound charging...

VW are building 1.4 compound charged engines for the new golf which produce a healthy 170bhp!

AW tracksport (TrendyTramp over on Dubforce) has built a couple of engines which are compound charged... If you've been to any of the big shows over the last couple of years, you've probably seen their metallic red, fully caged MKII golf which had no front end other than the cage. That's got their compound charged engine in it...

There's no reason a G60 supercharger couldn't be used, in fact, it'd probably work rather well with a small pulley to give massive low end power... you'd then put a clutch on the charger pulley so that when the boost from the turbo kicks in and matches that from the G60, it'd stop spinning the supercharger and just rely on the boost from the Turbo...

Should make for a rather special combination if you can get it set up properly, it's just a case of working out who to get it to swap between the supercharger and the turbo without any loss of boost....

id stick to an eaton for it. no point breaking a G lader. they are either gated or clutched. id expect you would need an actuated charger to release pressure or allow it to stop working. the actuator could be controlled to allow smooth power transition. you may as well just use a good turbo though and put up with a 1000rpm or so of lag. its the old 80-20 rule.

Its Roy Kenton's Mk4.. don't think its finished yet.. he is friends with JD Engineering.. should be good for 500+ bhp I would have thought.

20VTG60?!? Woah! Cool...

What's the G lader's max cfm?

by **Jim** » June 9th, 2006, 4:40 pm

Bloody hell.. well there's something novel! Wonder how far away it is from being done..?

by **BeavisJem** » June 9th, 2006, 5:54 pm

SOOOOO tempting to try and do this.

Anyone know how you could link up a clutch system to the g lader to kick in a certian revs?

Or does anyone know how to start finding out how to do this?
