g60bv

you dont want the 20 non turbo. the gear is way too short. you'll be maxing out at 120. .. but you'll get there pritty quick.! and you dont have to swap the flanges over. i've been told.

Q. if you were to get a 20vt box, what flanges do you need to put in. can't you use the flanges from the dead g60 box?

i use aqua mist. well ..when it works.! :roll: definatle get an intercooler. dont get the jabba one, no doute it'll be pooh. and over priced for what you actally get., either get the golf g60 one,( some knocking about). usual price £300. or squeese in a merc transporter one. they go for £60 ish from breakers. and consider red tops. job done.

was that rocket ronnies machine.? seen him run at totb. awsome . 1/4 mile 9.95 at 156mph, all road legal

yes bbs have stopped importing or making thr rc alloy. i tried to get 2, cos 2 got damaged in the accident. and IF they can get them 204 + vat. each, god dame!

hope this helps, but's it's only a jetex filter. which you could buy anywhere i think it rated to 300bhp and the heat sheld it 16 gauge stainless. i think its £120. +

so would a 23mm vr6 one fit a g60 servo.?? i've always wanted in your face brakes. you only got to look at the brack pedel in the mk5 and you shoot through the window,! awsome.

you can get the braided vac hose from any good car shop. usually sold by the ft. then just cut to length.

i dont want them falling off or cracking, any ideas please, ta,

hay there, well at least your cars coming along,,yours is going to look well shiny, 8)

the secret to getting to good 1/4 times in the g60's. is not to use full throttle in 1st, and get in 2nd straight away. may best at pod is 14.5, worst on that day was 14.9. don't waste time spinning the wheels.

i'm doing it at the moment, i'l try and get some photos. it's not a 5 min job thou.

i'm going to get a power flow system put next, but what size pipe work, some have said 2 1/2". i thought 2 1/4 would be enough.? whatcha recon.

you don't know the half of it, got the rear vibratech mount in to day and the water pump off.(thought might as well change it while i'm here, it's a bit of a bitch to get off otherwise.), want to get the charger mount acid dipped. coz it's rank looking. any ideas where thou.?

rsr in redhill, the powerflow people, how you getting on with all my bits,

well got it throu and had a look, and found it reduced down to 2", and the coupling looked pants, so i thought about getting that changed, they also welded the lamda boss on the side, when after fitting it all found the lamda wouldn't fit at all.(hit the tunnel) :mad: , so took it all off again, and had them send me a new boss and blanking plug. so got it all welded up using 2 1/4" tube and flexi and the boss on top., went to fit it tonight, thought i better test the lamda, to make sure its smooth. and it got jammed good and proper. in fact i had to smash the lamda to get it out, and it had stripped the thread off. :mad: :mad: so i thought i'd try the blanking plug they supplied, and it did it to that too. well cheesed off, you'd thought some one like TSR would send the right boss throu, i'm going to phone them tomorrow, ask for a new boss and lamda sensor. !!

well funny you should mention that, i'm a gas engineer, specialise in heating, but could do the plumbing for a bathroom no probs, don't do tiling thou. has any one put one of these boxes on a g60 before, i'll get some pics of the box and flanges ect.

well after a very impulsive gear box buy, 02m 6 speed off cupra, where can i get my drive shafts shorted, and what flanges can i use, i'm in over my head at the mo. thought i might as well use it. ANY help will be great,. ta

bbs have discontinued importing the bbs rc alloy. i know coz in my accident two got damaged, and after a couple of wheel referb places said they can't fix them i tried to get new ones, each alloy. if they can get them £240 and thats if they have any lying around with the right et and stud ect. bloody gits.

To be honest it aint worth the time or effect even trying when a new solid mount can be brought from Euro Car Parts for next to nothing.

charge cooler, water inj, 3.5 bar reg, grey injectors ,35mm ex v, ported head ,270 cam, 65mm pulley, sns 5.5 233ftlb and 225bhp, note its all low down. nice.! (theres two results on each, the thicker is last, after we played with timing and cam timing)

chewing gum not good enough then...

i m looking for some one, body shop, or private, i'm in surrey, i did have paynes body shop number, but lost it. i've got the handle kits, and i've just got new doors, and i dont fancy screwing them up. please help me. cash waiting. thanks ian , you can contact me directly 079795 64694.

doof, 0-60 times on a G60 are seriously hampered by a crap 2nd gear meaning you need 3rd to hit 60... I got my gearbox rebuilt using a VR6 1st and 2nd gear so that 2nd is longer (hits about 64 now) so managed a measured 7.02 seconds 0-60 in the wet at Bruntingthorpe yesterday... I could probably get it a bit quicker in the dry now that I know how my car handles and reacts a little better now... 8)

 

A normal G60 box would have added on 1 or 2 seconds to that time... :|

i had the same problem with my golf 1800 gl, and the only real cure is a weber 32/34 carb, you can piss about changeing the setting and adjustmens on those carb allday, and the next time it's cold it'll still rev to 2500 and stay there till its red hot, honestly, get the weber, not only do you get BETTER eco but much better performance,.

does anyone know of any nice white paint codes, not ness vw ones,.? i'm gona get it resprayed andi'm looking for a good white, alpine's ok but..
