Z-Raddo G60

on state side, they are like 7 or 8 bucks a piece; about $16-17, dealerships have the oe stuff though :gag:

wonder if there is more than g-charger work done to it to make those numbers?

sanded/sprayed eurosport ic pipes

cleaned/pressure tested oem intercooler

wheel liner vent mod

samco ic hoses

eurowires's oem headlamp relay kit

originalgermanfolks's hood release kit

transpo adjustable volatage regulator

new o-rings: auto trans cooler studs, rear g-charger bracket

up-to-date fuses, pulled all oem fuses and replaced

mono wiper setup, from 1978 Scirroco

silicon vacuum lines

new rsr outlet nonperforated hose clamp, was sent with a perforated clamp!

made 4-point ground wire from VC>TB>Coil>DCU, copper terminals, crimped, soldered, heat shrink wrapped

rewired extra O2 sensor ground wire, O2>Coil, crimped, soldered, heat shrink wrapped

rewired existing add-on wires for gauges, larger wires, crimped/soldered, heat shrink wrapped

immediate future?

BBM OE rebuild from a KK Stg IV unit and stock unit >> two units used to make one :shrug: :censored:

If you've done the oil it might be worth seeing if any fault codes are logged.

how or what is the best way to find the fault codes? most economical way? easiest?

Does anyone have a list of coolant hose clamp sizes for a g60?

Or, does anyone know the OD of the different hoses?

Here's the story, thinking of moving from the spring or perforated hose clamps to a set of clamps more suitable and non-perforated or spring loaded...

any help, pointers, and overall :censored: would be great!

cheers

Robert

I found hose part numbers if it helps ya mate,

throttle body to upper ic tube: pressure hose / F >> 50-M-000 660 upper / (16) 535145838

upper ic tube to intercooler: pressure pipe / F 50-M-000 661>> lower / 12 535145832A

silencer box/rsr outlet to lower intercooler pipe: pressure hose upper / 13 N 0245223

lower ic tube to intercooler: pressure pipe / F >> 50-K-005 000* lower / 11 535145845A

alternate for 535 145 845A: pressure pipe / F 50-K-005 001>>*50-M-000 660 lower / (11) 535145845B

On a set of Samco Sport IC hoses:

Round ends:

OD 2 3/4"

ID 2 5/16"

Oval end:

OD 3 13/16" x 1 15/16"

ID 3 3/8" x 1 1/2"

bean a while...ummm

1. adjusted the ISV so it doesn't leak, picked up a lot of throttle response and picked up hg/in of 2 and now reside a comfy 17 Hg/in

2. new o-rings on the automatic transmission cooler, three in all (i still have the OEM call for the oil filter on top of the tranny cooler), no more leaking tranny fluid

3. check/adjust the voltage regulator and the co pointentiometer (14.3V and 500 ohms)

4. replaced "stretchy" crank bolt with non-stretch bolt/washer and high strength loctight

...makes a big difference to oil temps...

what is the oil cooler size? number of rows?

...pics of my ole Nugget having one fitted, but it's a G60...

what is the oil cooler size? number of rows?

side note...

Anyone have a reference chart of recommendations for a g60 motor, in stock and higher bwhp. :help:

^ you sure it wasnt a were rabbit? :lol: pesky rabbits used to be the bain of my life with my mk1 gti front duckbill :bad-words:

 

why do animals run into the road from the relatively safe haven of a raised grass bank behind a fence into the path a 1 ton car :shrug:

a bit :offtopic: i was thinking of putting little stickers down the doors so i could make a tally of the various critters i have hit especially in my van :lol: , i set off at 5am to go to work and it seems like most animals reactions are even slower at that time of the morning, especially pigeons, pheasant, and rabbits, they just sit there seemingly oblivious to the van heading towards them and you can guarantee if you swerve they swerve the same way :cuckoo:

 

I usually manage to avoid the stationary ones with the van as they usually just freeze so you can drive over them without harm, but the corrado is a bit lower :(

 

Its the ones that jump out of the hedgerows just as your passing that usually end up as road kill, in the last couple of years they have cost me 2 grills, 2 windscreens, 1 mirror, 1 headlight and now a cv boot

and a partridge in a pear treeeeeeeee!

sounds more like hunting than it does like driving...you know vehicles are intended for your driving pleasure and not meant to be used with deadly intentions?!

Replaced all 3.5mm and 4mm vacuum hoses on the car today, including the dreadful, tedious dcu vac line! I went from a mercury per inches of 12-14 in/hg to 15-16 in/hg at idle, stock cam, stock g-lader pully, and automatic transmission. :tongue:

:?

dark red, sort of thin, it is getting a little better though

little dark, not too bad, feels slimmy-er too...third change though :(

Fault codes? How do I look at the fault codes? This is my first G60, please be kind, I would like to know what I need and then some.

this is what I have been doing, only for a about two weeks though, drop the trans pan empty and refill. just dropped the pan again, drain, and change filter, and refill (or at least that is where I am now.) :lol:

that is not how I would want my corrado to shoot out fire! come on, flusted! and I know there has to be a whole 'nother area to make that nice little fireball from the end of the tailpipe!

thanks, flusted.. 8)

[*]My autotransmission on the G60 is shifting super early from third into fourth, staying in third for about 10 to 15 seconds. Can anyone help?

[*]I wanted to know what everyone else have done to clean up the oil in the intercooler tubes and intercooler? I read some place of someone dumping gasoline into the intercooler but it just didn't sound, well, good to do to the intercooler. What are some good ways to clean up a system that has been gummed up with oil? :(
