BiscutWheels 0 Posted June 11, 2004 Hey, I'm new. I own a 1991 celica and I am looking to make a custom S/C kit for my car. I was looking at the G60 S/C and I was wondering what I can expect from it. Here are the questions I have. -What is the stock boost output? -The S/C motor is 1.8 liters right? What are the capabilities of the S/C for a larger displacement engine (2.2L redline at 6250)? I would like to run about 6-8 psi daily maybe 12 at the track. Will it reach its surge limit to fast on that big of a motor? -What kind of reliability can I expect? I did some searching and I know it is dependent on how much boost I want to run and that is directly related to the pulley size. What kind of milage could I get out of the S/C on a stock or just smaller than stock pulley? -Are there any other issues I should be worried about? I'm no stranger to cars and custom fabrication. I have a greddy E-Manage so tuning will not be a problem. Thanks for your help. Nate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted June 11, 2004 How much space is under the bonnet? The GLader is not the smallest of blowers. I'd personally go for a higher revving centrifugal blower, like a Vortech for example but the G60 and the Vortech kit are VW specific. Wouldn't it be easier/faster to just take the turbo off a GT4?

h100vw 0 Posted June 11, 2004 The last thing I'd stick on a 'reliable' jap motor is a G60. You say 2.2L is that a US motor, we have only had 2litre motors here. I agree with Kev, get the gear and possibly the whole motor from a GT4. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiscutWheels 0 Posted June 11, 2004 You are talking about a 3S-GTE. Yes the GT4 engineis wonderful, but I want to stick with the 5S-FE and it is a US motor, I'm in the US but this seemed like the board with the most experience. OK, so what you are telling me is that the G60 S/C is a poor unit? I would prefer a powerdyne or a vortech but they are a little out of my price range right now.

W3RKD 0 Posted June 11, 2004 how about one of the roots type blowers of the mr2 also worth thinking about as its quite compact.. also a m42 from a mini cooper s would be nice to and can be brought for very little money http://www.mr2sc.com/websites/tech/tccs.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted June 12, 2004 have a look at the Jaguar superchargers... a little birdy told me that they are around £400 BRAND NEW from Jag, put out some nice boost and are pretty compact... Pretty sure they are Eton style chargers too... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted June 12, 2004 Hey, I'm new. I own a 1991 celica and I am looking to make a custom S/C kit for my car. I was looking at the G60 S/C and I was wondering what I can expect from it. Here are the questions I have. Why not throw a supra turbo lump in it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BiscutWheels 0 Posted June 13, 2004 I don't want to have to worry about more exhaust plumbing. I just rebuilt the exhaust. I want to go supercharged, my numbers tell me that the engine will do better with low end boost. as it is, I run 143ft-lb at the wheels and 126 HP at the wheels. This engine is set up to be a torque monster, so I'm gonna see how far i can take it. Nate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
