RACK 0 Posted October 17, 2003 I'm off to see my lovely bank manager this weekend to see about a nice hefty bank loan, to finish my beast once and for all, or untill I see something else I want to put on it :lol: Hopefully I'll have about £3k to spend on engine bits. Do you folk reckon this will get me some decent power?? Cheers peeps RACK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_mat 0 Posted October 17, 2003 Anyone put the R32 engine in a C? Does it fit?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted October 17, 2003 Depends what route you plan on going down? Any idea? £3k should get you a fair old bit though- what have you got to start with though is your wagon a 16 valver if so i would sayt whip it out and put something else in? :D Anyone no how many sheets i would be looking at to convert My G60 to a 16v parts wise? i can tackle the work my self. i know it pistons head charger brackets etc. Is it worth doing for the loot?

RACK 0 Posted October 17, 2003 I thought about a 20vt when my charger went bang last year. But I got told it would cost about £5k+ for the engine and the fitting. Another thing would be the power, I want atleast 230bhp in which case I'll have to source a TT engine, or tune a golf one. Plus I like the way the power is delivered in the G60 compared to my mates 20vt Golf GTi. But I wouldn't dismiss the idea totally. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 0 Posted October 17, 2003 It's a G60 GRINGOG60. Sorry mate I should have said Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

W3RKD 0 Posted October 17, 2003 rack ... you could build an awesome g60 engine for that money there are quite a few choices really... also designa-dubs would charge £1k to fit a 20vt in your raddo / but you dont wanna do that do you really! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 0 Posted October 17, 2003 I'd like to keep the G60 engine, and choosing a route is the fun part. The car is hopefully going in for a full re-spray after christmas or near that time, and I plan to get the parts for the engine and get my mate to put it all together around about the same time. And no doubt Darren as soon as my loan gets sorted you'll probably getting a call. The forged pistons you said about are a must!! I'm deff having a 1.9 bottom end, it was the top end I was thinking about. (Cross flow probably, but it's getting hold of a Custom inlet manifold) Also I'm after a Front mounted intercooler. Hopefully with the money I'll be getting, I should have enough to complete my wish list. :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted October 17, 2003 custom inlet aint hard to get hold off atall mate as im gonna be providing then as parts of the x-flow kit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 0 Posted October 17, 2003 Nice one Darren! If I get the loan sorted, I'll give you a call sometime next week to talk things over. I take it your cross-flow conversion is going well? Bolting the parts together isn't much of a problem cos my mate who does all the work is a service manager at a stealers :D He did a top job with my Mk1 engine!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 17, 2003 Anyone put the R32 engine in a C? Does it fit?? Unlikely as the car only rolled off the production line a short while ago! The TT engine with DSG gearbox is the one to get :lol: Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
