C. Will Corrado G60 2 0 Posted March 2, 2006 This is just a feeler but does anyone know much a well tuned G60 lump with the below spec would fetch? 1h lump High flow head Rallye Stage 4 charger (serviced 5/6000 miles ago) with solid exit Green SNS chip High lift cams Adjustable pulley CFMI with custom 63mm piping. TSR exhaust manifold Induction kit with sheild VF front and rear mounts Radiator Kenlow fan BBM HT leads There more than likely a few bit I've forgotten about too. Why am I selling it cos it's time for a engine upgrade!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pau1 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Have you considered an IHI turbo conversion for your current engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C. Will Corrado G60 2 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Well yes it's an option, but I think i want some finesse back. I love the engine at the moment but I want more power and I'm having to scrifice that. and.................................the sound and power of a supercharger VR6 you can't beat!

BigTartanJudge 0 Posted March 2, 2006 So to sum up it's a rallye 1H G60 engine with a stage 4 charger, chip and pulley, high-lift CAM (not cams, it only has one), ported head, uprated fan, solid engine mounts, 4-branch manifold and induction kit with performance plug leads ? Guide prices: G60 engine with charger £750-£1100 (only if inc. O2A gearbox and ECU as well and average miles, all in good condition with all ancillaries) chip and pulley £75 high-lift cam £100 ported head £150 solid mounts £75 pair 4-branch manifold £100 induction kit £50 plug leads £30 uprated fan £50 So I reckon you could ask MAX £1500-£1600 if sold with gearbox and ECU Cheers and HTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_leon_ 0 Posted March 3, 2006 whats the mileage on the engine? and how much power are you approx. running at present? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkie 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Have you considered an IHI turbo conversion for your current engine? A really good conversion with 320 posible and i would say still very civilised to drive pottering round. Would say more driveable than your current set up, keep engine and convert.

_leon_ 0 Posted March 3, 2006 IHIG60 - what other work have you done besides fitting the turbo? i.e. what was your engine like before doing this conversion? Was it like the one listed above? And what were you forced to do to be able to take that power (e.g. driveshafts, joints etc). Know theres too much you could write here - but curious to know some basic details please.

And what were you forced to do to be able to take that power (e.g. driveshafts, joints etc). Know theres too much you could write here - but curious to know some basic details please. _leon_ Basically a 1900 conversion with big valve head, intercooler, high lift cam, oil cooler, the works. Was running BBM/Lysholm on 50mm pulley then converted to IHI and out of it all its the best thing i have done more economical as driving off boost thats until i floor it 440cc injectors tend to drink a good load of go go juice. Standard drive shafts, cv joints etc. Replaced all bushes front and rear for poly 1's and replaced all drive components as old were old and worn, as probably been on car for at least 10 years if not its entire life. Had no issues at all so far even standard box and diff although im going to go diff ratios and peloquin ATB as traction on corners can sometimes be compromised, and G60 ratios are not suited to my power band available which is very wide. g60dave has IHI conversion on a standard engine and i think it does roughly 220BHP and 240lb/ft of torgue and he is really happy with it. Might be worth getting his view as with ur spec it would be a a trade off between mine and his i suspect. What do you want to upgrade to 20v? Hope this helps mate.

_leon_ 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Sorry for going off topic here C. Will Corrado G60 2... Well I'm going through replacing almost everything on the car, by the end i'll have replaced the steering rack/rods etc, front and rear brakes, 4 branch manifold and full exhaust, new cv joints with std driveshafts, uprated engine mounts, remote oil cooler, new suspension (havent decided on replacement yet), all new OEM bushes, new wishbones, new bearings, new arb, gearbox rebuild with atb diff... then comes the modding, pretty much what you've listed above. fmic, fans, management, 1.9, gas flowed head, injectors... I'm probably only about 33% through it. That doesnt list all the other stuff like bodywork, central locking, interior stuff, general servicing... I am interested in this route - I'd like to find out more about the conversion and what sort of costs are involved - also how reliable it is... If theres another thread discussing it I'll move my post over to it - saves hijacking this one. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C. Will Corrado G60 2 0 Posted March 6, 2006 BigTartanJudge, Been away for my stag do in Barcelona (What a weekend), so sorry for no reply. Really appreciate the pricing list puts me in a better place for what I'm planning. dinkus, She's still looking ok, but needs some TLC from londons parkers as it's trashed on all four corners now. The car hasn't been RR some I'm not should what it's pulling but it's got to be around 200bhp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
