joby 0 Posted March 31, 2003 Had a Rare treat yesterday, went out in a friend of a friends G60 seriously moded, stage4 jabba sport charger and ported head "BIG" induction system chipped and pullied, magnex exhaust , lowered, split Rim BBS Rims. He Says 250 Bhp ? certainly felt like it ! It was quick! what a fun car, sounded like a World War 2 Fighter Plane. after owning a VR6 Golf i expected it to be quick,but not that quick :evil: . Im jealous of all you moded G60 corrado owners ! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted March 31, 2003 250 bhp is very hard to get from a 8vg60 the exhaust is one of the problems! (back pressure).... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkay 0 Posted March 31, 2003 just been out for a burn in mine :D I absolutely love it....even in 5th from 80+ it just keeps going and going. REally want to take it somewhere I can do so :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted March 31, 2003 what power is yours pushing out then munkay? you have done quite alot of workto yours ehh :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkay 0 Posted March 31, 2003 erm reckon it must be around 200bhp Jabba sport Stage 4 charger 68mm Pulley SNS stage 5 chip 3.5k FPR Powerflow exhaust Green induction kit Got this all doen 1000 miles ago, it fairly shifts now and I am happy with it all. Cost about a grand to do (excluding the exhaust and induction.) Altho the charger had 100,000 on in so was needing to be rebuilt anyway :) Seems to have good boost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endor71 0 Posted March 31, 2003 My G60 run 224bhp on rolling road Jabba r1 charger 68mm pulley jabba chip scorpion exhaust gas flowed head gas flowed inlet manifold 285 piper cam jabba induction kit Car is fun fun fun :D :D :D 3.5k fpr to fit might change chips for sns item :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkay 0 Posted March 31, 2003 I am well chuffed with my chip and FPR No lag whatsoever now..power is always there whether you boot it or whatever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted April 1, 2003 I find 250bhp hard to believe, but don't take that the wrong way. I've driven a 2.0 G60 with cams, charger upgrades, chipped etc etc and that only mustered 238bhp. As 8vG60 says, there is a limit to what the 1.8 can achieve as the exhaust manifold ports are tiny. You need a 16v G60 for serious G Lader power. Having said all that, didn't Mr Jereon Dik muster around 300 bhp from a 1.8 G60 using some of his 'special' parts and a VW motorsport charger? Oh yes, I remember now, he custom made an exhaust manifold with 50mm ports and used a special head which also had 50mm ports. Kev 94 VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkay 0 Posted April 1, 2003 he probably had a 10mm pulley :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ipk 0 Posted April 14, 2003 can't wait to get the sns chip in mine, gonna try a couple of variations to see what runs best! should improve the bottom and mid range more than the top end (should push it to around 210-220bhp) then have some fun, and destroy another set of goodyears!! :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowG 0 Posted April 14, 2003 Blade in this forum is runing 280hp on his g60 he recons he will brake 300hp on the 1.8 8v 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubcharged 0 Posted April 14, 2003 280bhp??!! With the G-lader on the pre-cross flow 8v head? I'd love to see how he's done that! :shock: ipk: Love the wheels 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LowG 0 Posted April 14, 2003 280bhp??!! With the G-lader on the pre-cross flow 8v head? I'd love to see how he's done that! :shock: ipk: Love the wheels 8) hm my guess would be 65 pulley,ported head,big intercooler,rs1 charger,268 cam,exhaust manifold,chip,air filter,fuel regulator,350ccm injectors,uprated boost sensor and with a custom ehaust system with race cat. I think its possible 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W3RKD 0 Posted April 15, 2003 thomas(blade)must be running a crossflow head! this is the only way to get this sort of power from a 8v the orig 8vg60 head would never be able to cope with that as i said before it is VERY hard to achive more than 240bhp from the std 8vg60 head no matter what other mods are done...

GazzaG60 0 Posted April 15, 2003 r we talking wheel power or crank. Id saya turbo car would do 280 ish due to the amount of airflow and boost it can deliver more reliably. the head obviously restricts this. there are a few vortexers doing 210-230whp with turbos. that must equate to around 280 flywheel power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
