My first raddo - G60 powahhhhhh

[pasty 10]

Well here I am, after looking for a while and wanting one I managed to get interested in a valver, but the price to me seamed high, so I jumped onto ebay to have a look rund when I stumbled across this car.

 

A G60, its ideal because it means no engine conversions!!! Plus I've always wanted a G!!! So I'm yet to collect it as it's in London and need to make the drive from Cornwall (600 mile round trip)

 

So for now here are some pics from the for sale add - happy days.

 

 

Comments about the car welcome or any info on it would be great :)

[owen g60 10]

Looks very tidy.

 

The first thing I would do is get rid of the cone filter and go back to a standard air box.

[JMC 0]

Lol, great minds think alike Owen. Get rid of that cone filter, and put a normal air box and normal paper filter back on - your charger will live longer. Other than that have fun. If you haven't got any history on when the charger was last overhauled get it looked at ASAP.

[Riley 0]

Ooooh nice. Thirds about the filter lol. Is it a late one or an early one? Looks like a late one with an early grill?

May I suggest > https://www.facebook.com/VwCorradoG60 / http://www.volksdevil.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1731 Just some info I thought I'd try and gather about early/late G60's

[wbx6dan 10]

Nice one pasty enjoynice to get some more down this end of the world :dance:

Welcome to the world of Corrado's

 

my first was a black G60,

 

have fun in it

[pasty 10]

Thanks guys, I've got a few plans for her, firstly as alot have suggested a pannel filter and box. lso the advert said that its had a new supercharger and also come with a spare one.

 

Main thing I'm goin to do is lower and BBS RM's. I want to see some good power from her IE 200+ bhp what's the best route to go?

 

Also a cream leather interior is another thing ill be scouting for :)

If you want to be hitting about 200bhp at the crank.

 

Stage 4 charger(if not already done)

68mm pulley.

Ford red top injectors.

Remap to suit mods. SNS do very good chips at a reasonable price.

 

To gain that little bit extra, go for a front mount inter cooler.

 

You should see 200-210bhp from this.

 

You will be looking at somewhere in the region of £1300 for everything(depending on the inter cooler and charger work)

 

If you decide against the front mount and the charger work isn't required, expect to pay about £300 for a chip pulley and red tops.

[pasty 10]

So what's a safe bhp to takers g60 engine too?! Obviously I'd like to push more but as this is my first supercharged engine I'm kinda ghat. . . .

 

So what's a good bhp mark!?

[owen g60 10]

Look at JMC's build thread.

He is at just shy of 260bhp.

 

That's with 1.9 bottom end, head work and a cam on top of the above work.

 

I have heard of near 300 from g60s before now.

 

230 should be easily achievable without any bottom end work

[pasty 10]

This is good to hear :)

 

Just been looking for some stage 4 chargers noticed jabba sport offer a rebuild kit, I believe this I what I wanna be doing and getting a smaller pullies hanks for your info buddy :)

[GrahamU 6]

Would be worth thinking about a 4 branch manifold and exhaust system.

 

I also went for:

 

flowed head with the inlet and exhaust ports matched to the manifolds

flowed and knife edged throttle body

Camshaft (285 IIRC)

65mm pulley to compensate for the flowed head and cam

[pasty 10]

I posted a pic of of the tail pipe option I wanted.

 

Think the first thing ill be doing is lowered & bbs rm's can't wait to feal some super charged power :)

Let me know when you're coming over this way Pasty. I'm in Egham (near J13 of the M25), and if you're this way when I'm around you're more then welcome to stop over, take a look round mine, and give you some ideas...

[pasty 10]

Ideal bud I got to go to Stratford to collect the car, is that near you !! Geography isn't my strong point!!!!

 

Thanks alot tho buddy... I'd like to take ya up on that offer if your close :-)

[Redfox 10]

Make sure all boost connections are totally tight, and that the pot on the big pressure hose towards the inlet, is cleaned (I use brake cleaner spray). Thin rubberhose to injectionbox must be tight and exactly 1000mm. Look at other hoses similar in size and put new on. So you get a good start before tuning.

Seems to me that late 91 and onwards G60's have late spec cylinderhead, inlet- and exhaustmanifold, Standard all should show some 178-180 hp's.

Get a sportscat into the system so you can get rid of all the pressure. Should show you more free hp's.

Surely keep a standard airbox and standard paperfilter, not k&n (I threw out mine).

 

Congrats on your new Corrado.

Getting rarer by the day.

 

Cheers,

Redfox.

Stratfords not to close to me (east london and I'm west london), but coming from Cornwall, you'll either be on the M3 or M4 - both of those pass the M25 not too far from where I am.

[Otto 10]
