A Good base alright! Good luck with the conversion! I know of somebody here (Ireland) with a G60 converted to 1.8t (well neraly finished) Same color, seems to be the way to go for power!
-
does anybody know of the ratios of the various gearboxes, 8v, 16v, G60, VR6, 1.8, 2.0 I am just trying to see whats the most suitable box for my 16v G60 parts collection! Thanks Richard
-
i was thinking of the back, but i do take what your saying to heart! The Only prob with the front mount is the location of it for access. Will a rallye fmic fit the corrado easily?
-
Alex, its like the info is for my mate too 8) I have heard that a mix of G60 pulleys and mk3 ones are the best combo, read it on vortex
-
depends on the type of nut, my mate swares by the old hammer a socket onto it and then open it by ratchet!! Will only work on some types
-
Thanks guys, Darren, what sort of diameter are the valves in the crossflow head? Jason, what sort of flywheel bhp are you getting? is it a 1.8 or bigger? thanks :)
-
very true, but not gone on the grey at all!!!

Cheers lads, i already spoke to john, and i had made some decisions based on what he said, but wanted to be 100%! Now the entire thing gets expencive! :( but should have good rewards!!!! :D
-
well, i am sure someone on here would take them off your hands if you got stuck with them, post up some pics if you get them

doh!!
-
anybody know about the con rods? since were all trying to find out what was used in all engines?
-
That was exactly what i was annoyed about, but he was at btopenworld on ebay, i got a bounced mail back
-
yeah, i will be running a "reasonable" comp ratio! :lol: thats why i wondered about the rods. The new owner of your car is still running the standard head? its just polished and ported
-
i was bidding on those too, I thought that since mj will charge 300 for your own cards it wasnt worth it! Or just buy some lhd ones from Germany and get them modded, for €50 it wouldnt be a bad move!! Very sust, i mailed the seller, but he didnt respond!
-
Thanks Kev, i might use a G60 charger, not 100% yet. Gonna use a G60 block, bigger cooling channels, forged pistons too. I know the turbo makes more power, but the G makes a serious sound! Are the G60 Rods the same as the 16v ones? As for managment, i will be going with the G60 setup, for the moment.............then maybe dta, if the bank manager allows it lol
-
Does anybody have a 16v with turbo or supercharger, i am just wondering what sort of head work they have done? Also what are the pro's and cons of doing bigger valves? Someone was saying that a mk3 git 16v head would be a good option! any ideas? Thanks
-
cheers Baz, i was up with dave c and he took me out in Gary's G60, savage car, only just run in and its got 225 bhp!
-
anyone know where i would get one of the u bends for use with a fmic? Apart from vw
-
cheers darren! and nigel. anyone looking to get rid of one? So "all" i need is the u bend from a rallye or g60 golf without aircon. which had the cooler in the engine bay at a bit of an angle?
-
I have been loking at intercooler pipes, i see on the vw parts cd a u piece that comes out of the charger for a fmic. does anyone know how efficeient these are and what they were used on? i can ony find it on the Golf G60, not the rallye or corrado, but i thought the golf g60 had corrado style intercooler? Now i am confused :? but its prob an obvious question! thanks Richard
-
all reds are much better looking on a c in my opinion! the smoked ones are a bit xantia alright
