Anything over 200hp and your into big stresses and strains on drivetrain.my intentions with the g60 will be that it has loads of low down torque perfect for what i want .That will be mated to an uprated gearbox with gear ratios to match the g60 powerband.close ratio 1st to 3rd and a cruising 4th for the motorway. im aiming for 0 to 60 in 5 seconds which should be possible as it weighs a bit less than a lotus elise.the lotus with toyota lump is 190 hp and performance rapid so if im in this teritory ill be happy.My covin at mo is doing around 7 seconds to sixty with 112 hp and has same power to weight ratio as standard g60.

HERES ME JUST COMMING BACK IN 3.2 SUPERSPORT TARGA AFTER I JOINED BOLTON AND DISTRICT(B.A.D)porsche club AT MACCLESFIELD.HE GAVE ME HIS KEYS AND HE DROVE MY COVIN AND WAS IMPRESSED WITH PERFORMANCE.I LOVED HIS TARGA AND THE SOLID BUILD QUALITY EVIDENT,WELL THE EXTRA 450KG [/img]

well im not fitting a beetle engine for the noise or a porsche as it defeats the object.it sounds good with the 8v,but will be something else with the g60 fitted.the minor anomolies are no worries for me as it impresses porsche owners and you cant get better than that and i love it.

how do u cancel a post :oops:

ENGINE OUT.YOU CAN SEE VW TYPE 3 GEARBOX

The kit originally cost 4k+.You can pick up a ropey one for a grand,four grand for a reasonable one.I paid 7k for mine five years ago and have it insured for 10k.These kits are very rare only 300 of the turbo coupe ever made.They are rear wheel drive.

COVIN WITH LATER 964 BODYKIT AND CLASSIC WHITE COVIN WITH MY FAVORITE FUCHS ALLOYS.JUST A NOTE THE WHITE COVIN WAS BUILT IN 1992 AND SPRAYED IN ENAMEL PAINT.YOU CANT USE THIS PAINT BY LAW ANYMORE BUT GOD IT STILL GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS RECENTLY PAINTED.

spot spot the difference :cyclops2:

ok.a covin is a fiberglass shell copy of the famous 930 turbo of the late seventies early eighties.the chassis was made by the company covin which was a 4"x 2" box section with center tunnel similer to beetle.onto this many type 3 (vw fastback) parts where used.mainly front beam ,suspension,brakes and the same at the rear with also the gearbox.to this an adapter plate was fitted and a choice of engines were mated up to the vw gearbox.the earlier covins were bolted to beetle chassis.some people use the beetle aircooled lump due to less hassleto fit while others have modded theres to the max.one club member has fitted a porsche gearbox and 3.6 porsche engine with over 300h/p scary!

so what plugs in where ? so i can keep my fuse box and just plug in ecu?anything else,cant be that easy

has anyone know what sort of wiring is needed for this conversion.the engine in my covin is 1800cc 8v dignifant.

can anyone tell me where to get a hall sensor for g60 at best price.eurocarparts dont stock them and vag quoted £100.
