young lad 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Hi there guys, i thought it would be best to join this forum as my Golf Mk2 has a engine out a G60 Corrado and instead of having a supercharger it has a Turbonetics T3 turbo.. Also the G60 engine is completly standard, no cams etc etc have been changed. The car flys as it is, very quick but, I am looking for some power gains, i was told if i got it chipped or remapped it would go a little wilder. Any suggestions where i can get this done from, Price, The gains i could expect, any idea's guys?? (From london ) Also would it be a good idea to get the cams changed to like ermm 280 or 300, gas flow etc.. i don't know much about it so if you guys could shine some light would be great. Thanks Shazz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted March 25, 2006 stealth racing are pretty good with turbo set ups and should be able to map it for ya. Gasflowing is always good and proberly a piper 285 cam? not that hot on 8vs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Monkey 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Hi, i've gotta a G60 Turbo, just put a big valve head on it(still standard cam), and it's made a big difference, i'm running more power at less boost. Definately reccomended. As for remapping, I have always gone to Jabba Sport for mine, but they did do the conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also have you come up against some like erm scooby's, Civic type r's, bmw's etc and how did you do? :wink: Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Monkey 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Hi mate, Don't have any 0-60 times as yet, there's a rr day on the 9th, so i'll be able to give you an idea on power soon. More details are here. As for comparisons, Civic's are pretty easy cos no one i've raced mods the engine too much, Scoobys, I can beat mildly modded turbo's but theres a couple of big power ones that always give me a whuppin!! :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Monkey 0 Posted March 26, 2006 No worries mate. 8) If i can get the bloody thing back on the road it time I'll take you for a spin, I'd actually be quite interested to see how yours goes as it seems quite modded, and i'll never turn down a chance to hear that charger whine again! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polo Classic 0 Posted March 27, 2006 Pitstop can map your engine to suit. I think they already may have a suitable map too base it on as well. I'm going to remap a Corrado G60 using a T3 60 on a ATP manifold, redtops and 3,5 bar fpr in a few weeks The standard G60 cam will probably work better than a 280-300 degree cam, they will mostly make it spool later.
