G60 with a 9a bottom end

[Ronan 0]

I'm being toldby an engine builder that you can use the 9a bottom end mated to the standard pg head to make a 2.0 g60, with slight modification to a breather, and the charger bracket.

 

Has anyone heard of this before, or is it not possible?

 

Cheers.

think you also need a THICK head gasket else your compression will allow you to run on diesel! :lol:

Would that make it a GDI60 then :lol: ?

why not go all out and do a 2.0 16vg60 ?

But the pistons for a 16v are a totally different design to an 8v?

Crasher and henny: I won't be using standard pistons, I will be getting forged items made custom, so either looking at an 8:1, 8:5:1 or 9:1. With regards to H/G, been told I can use an ABF one.

 

Khurrado - I don't want to do a 16vG60 as the parts seem to be too high in price, and I can do this fairly cheaply.

 

Any more input is welcome, cheers.
