the two cars use the same fuse box so the wiring should nt be that hard, if its got a immobiliser it will make it a bit harder but should still be ok. you ll be able to run the car without the cat aswell which will help with the power i have a friend with a mk3 16v and its quite torque and not as peaky as the 1.8 16v kr
-
the standard k jet pump can produce over 5 bar, more than both the g60 and vr6 i know somebody with a 314bhp mk2 and he is still using the k jet pump, so you ll probably be ok with it
-
surpose you could make it thermostat controlled with a cooling fan, that would be ideal for strips and traffic keeping it a constant temp
-
just had a thought probably not recommended, but the water pumps are cheap if you got one and cut down/modify the fins then i guess the flow could be reduced - causing the temperature to rise :?
-
aah i see, so if there is lest back pressure, am i right in thinking that it will aid the turbo to spin up and so it will be less laggy?
-
yeah, i was looking on the pace website, and the cost of the pumps and radiators add up to quite a lot, more expansive than a uprated intercooler :( i was thinking about using a small radiator off a motor bike, if i could pick a second hand one up it ll help keep the cost down :)
-
Hi, does anybody have a chargecooler? they look a lot simpler to plump in. and i imagine the route to the engine will be shorter so less boost pressure will be lost. are there any bad points etc?
-
Hello, i am building a G60 turbo and have been advised to use an oil cooler, i have found a selection on ebay which i can probably use, but i am unsure of what size to use?
-
i have nt got it yet but i ll check when i get it, it was sold as a g60 rail, could it perhaps be from a digifant mk2 8v? :(
-
has anyone heard of blue injectors? just bought a g60 fuel rail and its got blue injectors :?
-
i have sent you a PM
-
thanks, is it a dealer only part?
-
Hello, can anybody tell me what the sensor which sits on the intake pipework after the intercooler but before the inlet manifold is called? and whats its purpose? thanks
-
hello. i am a big fan of the g40, i am on the g40 yahoo group, i was listening to the progress of the turbo one i think you are talking about, but not heard about it for a while. did nt realise it was putting out that much power, just been lookin at jamie fagans mk1 g60 turbo in a pvw shoot out, 240bhp and 270 lbs torque did nt realise that it took so much power to turn the chargers. i have a friend with a g40 and the power is istant so i can see why yours pulled away off the start
-
i am gonna be using the g60 management, i have got a chip coming design to be used with the turbo, but what i ll prob end up doing is run it on low boost till everything is runin nice then book it in somewhere for a re-map and turn the boost up, perhaps jabba, cause i dont want to end up melting anything. i ve also seen some heat sheild jackets which sit over the turbo, which i am goin to look into to try and keep the inlet manifold cooler did nt realise 100 was the best temp (thanks), i ll have to play around with the cooling, and try to get it to sit around the 100 mark, quite away off this though still a lot more bits i need to get hold of. still not sure about what intercooler to use thanks for the help so far, got a few more things to keep in mind
-
thanks do you think i should be able to reach my target of just over 200bhp quite easily? running a standard engine about 1.2 bar. once i ve got it up and running i ll see how it performs and then look into other mods. not sure what intercooler i ll be using yet, i dont want to use one to small reducing the power but not really sure how big, is it possible to go to big, giving bad results? i am using a vr6 rad and goin to get an cool running thermostat and fan switch, would a oil cooler be a good idea?
-
i have decided to go with a turbo set-up, and i ve ordered a variation of the t3 turbo, i am aiming to have just over the 200bhp mark, does anyone know what a save(ish) maximum boost i can run before i start running into problems, using a internally standard g60 engine? when its up and running i ll be getting it set-up and the fueling increased hopefully. mars- what sort of power are you running, and what sort of set-up have you got? (boost pressure, any other mods etc) thanks for any help

yeah, it was john williams old car (so i cant take any credit for it), i have nt got all the ice that he had in it tho, but i am slowly putting my bits into it, the spoiler on the red one is off a seat (not sure which model) its a bit smaller than the original at the front but deeper on the sides aiding clearance, its a 2 pc one as well and about £15-20 a side. its quite flexible so tended to bend rather then crack, it was easy to fit, a little bit of modding, i fixed it on with a number of plastic ties so if i did catch it, it tended to rip the ties off rather then damage it, found this to work very well. i had a look for the part number but its only got a bit of it the rest was on a the edge i had to cut back :( -
Hello, is there anybody on here with a G60 using a turbo instead of the G-ladder, or is there anybody using the bahnbrenner superchager on a g60. i'd be interested in hearing about them. i know of one with a bahnbrenner charger on a 16v sounds wild. just interested to see what power effects these have on the 8v g60 thanks
