[Blue_Joe 0]

Start by making sure the rest of the car can handle it! Brakes and suspension. I have FK Silverline X coilovers on mine.

There is certainly a couple of contenders for this prize!

 

I'm not counting on reaching it, deep down I'm hoping, but it's one of those things that if you desperately try to break it you probably won't! So deep down I'm hoping but as long as all the effort gets a good result of torque, which is what I really want then I'll be more than happy!

[g60greeny 0]

Blue_Joe, if you ever want to sell her...... :lol:

sounds like you've got one sorted G there mate :notworthy:

Indeed there are.. i could be a corrado owner again very shortly soon so will have to rustle somthing up for it also as i have my charger spare :lol:

[g60greeny 0]

would i be better buyin a complete 2nd engine and gettin that sorted?then just swap them round so as the works done?any ideas on the going rate for a complete g60 engine?

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Complete G60 lumps go for between £800-£1250 depending on condition of charger and mileage etc., average is about £1000 if everthing is included. i.e. engine / gearbox / loom/ ECU and charger has been rebuilt.

[veeDuB_Rado 0]

You could turbo it, but technically speaking it wont be a G60 no more. :)

[Jim 2]

Indeed.. it'll just be a turbocharged 8v lump!

 

Sam surely has to come damn close.. guess we'll find out on the RR day assuming he puts his wallet away as soon as the latest round of work is completed and doesn't start any more tinkering projects on it ;)

[Blue_Joe 0]

No more for the time being for me - even my little surprise mod has had to go on hold as with my leg all bust up I need to be resting up not tinkering on the car!

So we can intrest you in one of our schrick sumps / windage trays then sam? :lol:

[Blue_Joe 0]

I can't even fit the parts I've got at the moment never mind get under the car and have a nightmare fitting a new sump.

so for just the engine an no charger this would be a lot cheaper

[_leon_ 0]

make sure your charger is in top condition and then just get an engine to work on. As said earlier though, you've got to account for A LOT more money first to get the car in form before fitting go faster bits. think suspension, brakes, cooling, all drivetrain inc gearbox, pipework, sensors, exhaust, bodywork (no point in modding a rust bucket)... the list could go on forever

 

I've spent k's on mine and haven't yet got the stage where I'm happy to start seriously modding it to get it to go quicker.
