chargedG60 0 Posted February 10, 2004 i have a corrado g60 and i was thinking of doing a g60 16v conversion.....i kno the g60 pistons wont clear the valves from a 16 valve head but is there any way that you could just get a thicker head gasket so you dont have to get new pistons for the g60 block?? and if not what would be my best bet for doing some good mods to the stock g60 to make it rip/?? any thoughts would be great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaiosG60 PWR 0 Posted February 10, 2004 Check out Bahnbremner's website. I'm sure there is some info on there about the conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted February 10, 2004 tis the other way around. a 16v on a G60 block makes about 6.5:1 compression. maybe enought to start it. you need the flat pistons with cutouts to fit the valves as they come down at a angle compared with the 8vs straight. thhese also lift the compression to around 8 or 9:1 You need ot do lots more to fit the G lader to the 16v. a turbo would be a easier fitment and probly better to cover the hight revving 16v unless you plan n running higher compression and less boost say a 70mm pulley.

G60Jet 1 Posted February 10, 2004 there is a 16vg60 engine on ebay at the mo, looks like an unfinished conversion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
