16v to G60

Recommended Posts

Type this into the search.....

 

g60 AND 16v AND conversion

 

Been discussed a lot, sure it is possible but is expensive and requires custom parts e.g pistons etc.

 

Cheers

dont think he is talking about doing a 16v g60,

 

think he means putting a g60 head, charger, ecu on to a 16v block, could be wrong tho

 

if this is what you mean i dont think it is possible,

compression will be high. maybe too high for the forced induction route or it might make a interesting 10:1 ish standard pulley G60.

Mounting the injection is slightly different. your gonna need a digi 1 loom and sensors. most can be made to fit easily but im not sure if the knock sensor will bolt straight to a KR block.

 

your gonna need

 

blue CTS

o2 probe

knock sensor

ISV (if different)

fuel rail, injectors, regulator.

 

Throttle body(unless you are gonna run a dump valve.

 

The KR dizzy will work with Digi 1 so thats ok.

 

gonna need stuff like pulleys etc.

 

would be easier to buy a full engine and even easier to swap the car for a G60 if thats what you want

 

 

problem with this is you are taking away your biggest asset in airflow. A G60 is toss at flowing air due to 8v and couterflow creating tight ports. ultra porting will only take it to std 16v flowrates.

 

chuck a turbo on the valve with some engine management and youll make greater,nicer more usable power than a G60 conversion ever could. if thats what your after.

cheers i think i might just tune up my 1.8 16v like 2 liter bottomend gas flow head 4 branch manifold and new chip. then maby some cams later on.

From the BahnBrenner website....,

 

Build Option #2 (16V As Your Base Engine): If your starting base engine is the 16V platform then you can use a thicker copper head gasket to achieve a lower compression ratio for use with the boost. This is not the best or correct way to generate the proper compression ratio on any engine, although it is a simple and less expensive route. The preferred method on the 16V base engine is to also use custom pistons with the correct compression ratio for this Supercharged system. BBM has these custom pistons in a limited quantity.

 

Required G60 Parts:

 

G60 G-Lader Supercharger

G60 G-Lader mounting brackets and belt tensioner complete

G-Lader outlet (silencer box)

G60 Serpentine / idler pulleys for water pump and alternator

G60 AC pump or European water pump pulley

G60 Throttle body, complete

G60 Fuel Injectors and FPR

G60 Idle stabilizer valve (ISV)

G60 Digifant1 ECU and engine wire harness

G60 Digifant control relay

G60 Oxygen sensor

G60 Water temperature sensor (blue) (CTS)

G60 CO% potentiometer

G60 Relays, fuel pump

G60 Intercooler hoses to and from the G-Lader

G60 Lower water pump pipe

Upper and lower coolant hoses

G60 Radiator and fan assembly

 

PLUS Custom pistons at around £450-600

 

Cheers
