Heardy 0 Posted August 3, 2004 Is there such a thing as a late spec G60 ? I'm looking to buy one and was wanting to know if they have the electric window switch's in the lower part of the door and also do they have the round heater control panel in them any other info would be appreciated :wink: Also how do you do the boost pressure check using the MFA Any links would be helpfull !!

stevemac 0 Posted August 3, 2004 Late spec as in late exterior - e.g. wider wings, VR bonnet & bumpers. ALL G60's have early interior though 8) MFA boost check is just a guide & not quite as accurate as a seperate boost gauge !! How to test your boost levels - UK spec cars 1. Start Engine 2. Move the MFA selector to "2" 3. Press and hold the MFA end button (keep holding) 4. Stop engine 5. Start engine 6. Release the MFA end button. 7. Press the MFA End button one time. You should now see 450-800 readings fluctuating with idle. Anything higher than 800 is not right (vacuum leak). Much less than 450 is probably too much timing advance. Go run your car!!! 3rd and 4th gear to REDLINE. Carefully note the highest #'s you've got. A pullied charger should not make less than 11.6psi, and even so, thats weak. A Stock charger should make ~~11psi in perfect shape! EURO Hg(#'s of boost/vacuum) Comments 200 -23.7 400 -17.8 600 -11.9 800 -5.9 1000 0 (Atmosphere- ala no boost, charger is bypassed) 1200 2.9 psi (Your charger is dead or big boost leak) 1400 5.8 psi (Your charger is about dead or big boost leak) 1600 8.7 psi (Your charger needs new apex strips or big boost leak) 1800 11.6 psi (Great for stock pulley, Probably needs new apex strips if 68mm pulley) 2000 14.5 psi (Great for 68mm pulley on stock charger) 2200 17.4 psi (Great for 68mm pulley on heavily ported charger, hold on to your ass fast!!) :rambo: 2000 and up folks need to be careful with fueling, as the programming maps end at about 2000 on the ecu :) Dynotuning, and air/fuel/egt gauge, and custom chip recommended Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted August 3, 2004 I think (and am sure I'll be corected if I'm wrong :wink: ) that the last few G60's had the later shell, which meant that they had slightly wider arches and a bonnet that went ___------___ rather than ----____---- Interior was still the early type though from what I gather....

I don´t remember about the sunroof... but i suspect it is manual too! tbh i reckon it would be a choice of either.....no-sunroof or electric sunroof............deffo aint seen any manual sunroof'd C's.........apart from aftermarket ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
