Top tip that lol. Was gonna say that myself but had to let the thread run its due course of banter in the comedy stakes. :) :) :) :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
Just so you can explain then why would a 15:1 compresssion ratio not be good for a N/A road car? As i understood it it will give more power as more compression but your engine wont last long like rally cars running high ratios albeit forced induction?
-
:offtopic1: i know. You killed it or what??? New one or parts for a stronger one mate?
-
Expensive shopping list dave. Notice anything else there you like???

STOP SAYING THAT!!!!!!! I keep wanting to wind out that bleed valve!!!!!:lol: lol and NO DONT DO IT. Just get the electronic controller at the same boost level it will still be better than the bleed valve.
-
After my g-lader porting and pulley and filter and exhaust that was my next step a big valve head with 285 cam and it still made a very nice difference. The power was not lost low down as i heard it would do and when 4k came it really went up a notch and gave a nice healthy kick in the backside all the way to the rev limit and still pulling.
-
Man i wish this was simple cos i really need the 8k limit gauge but still need it to look factory. Well i can only try and work it out somehow as everything is possible. So pointers needed in taking apart the two clusters please. Do's and dont's.
-
Hence why i say i need more boost and why each time boost been turned up it made more power.
-
Sounds like a lot of work then. Riley - if you could get some pics would be good mate. Never seen inside the clocks before but would it not be possible to just wire straight to the coil somehow and skip the PCB.
-
Surely some one must have tried this at some point with people tuning their c's engine? Or would people just change the whole binnacle. Has any one got any pictures of either the 16v and G60 clusters stripped down by any chance?
-
Cool will try. Surely EKTA shows what kind of fitments, connections etc? Just to try and build up a kinda rough idea.
-
Can some one with EKTA see if the two gauges will be swappable and do they wire the same etc, if not is it a part that can be swapped over to make it work if it will fit?
-
Has anyone seen their Corrado on Google Earth?

I can get right into my windows nearly but sadly my c not there. -
hes alright and posting.
-
Sounds right your gonna really take to it i think. Still notice a top end gain as they are different in characteristics to the g-lader, they just keep pulling and pulling never seem to let up. Where as the g seems to drop off high up.
-
exactly. although ive not heard a louder g-lader i suspect yours is close with having a toothed belt conversion.
-
Yes cant beat mk2s looking like that.

Yea we all get down with our projects. How you saying go now "Its not how good you make it, its how you make it good" Feel like firing mine too mate not seen it for 3-4months having engine rebuilt again and blue joe is the same. -
well think im gonna change mine now as needing to run 2bar soon.
-
one thing i dont understand is people say its too loud yet go on about how they love the sound of their whining g-lader. End of day its a supercharger and thats how they sound they whine just some more than others. Heard some highly tuned g-laders sound nearly the same yet people say how good they sound.
-
The joy of the c ownership.

loud but not stupid IMO. Yes the silencer actually makes it more efficient but as soon as wide open throttle it stil sounds the same apparently.

any pics

Just found out that the 16V rev counter revs upto 8k. Now is it possible to swap over just the rev counter from a 16V into my G60 as the limit in my c is 7600rpm as i want to keep my original mileage reading etc. Also is it possible to fix the light for the mileage lcd screen as when i popped to the stealers for a bulb he said i cant change it? He seemed a numpty to me but he could be right. My c is registered march 91 on a H plate.
