G60SC_Stoney

this is al good info....will be phoning you sometime darren to discuss prices on BBM chargers etc....

yeah thats EXACTLY what i need, you know how quickly i get bored!!

yeah i'd be up for a group buy on this, and im sure if it went around to the guys on dubforce A LOT of people would be up for it...

so, what im going to need is a 9a block with some 83mm pistons, and retain the 16v rods ? should i not have any lairy cams in the head then ?? just put some std exhaust cams in instead ?? im going to lighten and balance the lot, the head should flow so well that it wont need to be heavily ported right ?? or is it worth getting a CNC 16v head from gwerks ??

ive looked into putting a chopped s2 manifold on there, and although it may be better for performance, id rather have a standard inlet, as it will look more Oem and better polished up too, and if there is a differnce in output, it wont really phase me due to the fact its going to be quick anyway!!

ok the plan is as above, i plan to build (aka get someone else!) to build a 2.0 (or as close to) 16vG60, on a twin screw charger, now, ive already sourced a 16v inlet from a 'rocco, and a 16v P+P'd head from a MK2 16v, with kent cams etc, question is what else am i going to need?? i know i will need an integration kit to put it all together, but just looking to get all the main components together first so.... 1) what piston sizes do i need to bring it out to 2ltr ? 2) ive read that 16v rods are the better choice for a 1.9 conversion but what do i do for a 2.0 ?? 3) im going to need to upgrade the brakes...looking for some good porsche calipers, what can i fit that will go behind a 16" wheel?? i know this is going to cost some serious ££££ but ive got a bit stashed away and am going to get the conversion all up and running by my birthday. any advice would be more than welcome (i am not going to do this myself just thought id getas much info as possible before i ask the engineers to take over!!

just ordered mine today, should be in saturday.

liking that Mk1!!!

why dont you get your old one rebuilt ??

wouldnt have thought it would matter, only need to make a hole in the bottom of the airbox for the pipe to come through, lucky i read this, was just about to make my own ducting up!!

pic looks similar to my c with the silver roses...very nice they look really good

or buy some backlit DDI gauges....

ive got weitecs on mine. think they are fine, ride quality is good too.

does anybody have the dimensions of a rallye intercooler then ?? ive just found a really cool guy who races fords for a living and is currenctly in the process of tuning up a DB7!! farbricates all his own parts in the workshop, and has polishing facilities too, think im going to be spending a lot of money here, so wanted to see if he can fit me up with a nice intercooler and some other bits....

im running 150w bulbs in my mains at the moment and 120w in the normal headlights, havent lost any reflective coating and hasnt peeled or anything, plus i dont get flashed by other drivers for blinding them!! result!

230-250 out of my 12 gallon tank in the G60, before darren remapped it i could only get about 180-200!!

woah!! 214 at the wheels!! jeez, put the rest of us G60 owners to shame!!

yup i end up agreeing with whatever they rant about, and pretend i dont know what they were on about when you are face to face!! always works....sometimes!

that thing is mental....

one more for the bin then.... :lol:

i had the same problem with my oil cooler...way i fixed it was putting a 65mm toothed pulley on!! :lol: now i manage to see 98 when stuck in traffic!!

come on then jedi, give us a shopping list of what we need to order to get our cars up to scratch....

storms are overrated....just a VR6 with an extra badge (Q the moaning... :agrue: )

cheers

love one of them, wonder if i could fit one of those belts to my toothed belt drive on my G60, might stop it snapping!!
