gnarus 0 Posted April 7, 2009 I have an opportunity to get a g60 for quite cheap. The only problem is the super charger is blown and I wont have enough money to replace it (will take 2x price of the car). Does anyone know the output of the g60 without its super?

Supercharged 2 Posted April 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum... Pretty awful I'm afraid - 80BHP if your lucky because of the low compression, basically it will be slower that a MK2 driver and will use loads of fuel too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neil VR6 0 Posted April 7, 2009 I popped an intercooler hose on my old G60 and it would have been quicker to get out and walk! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, i've had to endure a G60 without charger before and it's not much fun! It's OK in the short term but I wouldn't fancy it indefinitely! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 7, 2009 I think it'll be less than 80hp Steve, My old 1.8 8v Jetta used to make about that at 10:1 compression, so a G60 at 8:1 may make 70hp, maybe less? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustynuts 0 Posted April 7, 2009 For some reason the figure of 90 bhp popped into my head, I don't know where this came from, prob something i read a few years back! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lufbramatt 0 Posted April 8, 2009 the old 1.8 8v PB lumps used to make 112bhp with digi2 injection, but then theres the low compression to factor in too so wouldve thought it was around 90-100bhp. The 90bhp 1.8 8v used single point motronic injection, and the G60 engine will have better EFi, freer exhaust, bigger valves and a better cam than those engines. Apart from the compression though you have to remember that fueling in based on sensors that are set up for forced induction so will not run properly at all like this... a G60 without a G60 kind of defeats the point!

Topaz2008 0 Posted April 8, 2009 Not worth measuring :D I had a leak on G60 and it would n't have been able to pull the skin off a rice pudding! :eek: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only do it if u willl have the money to get another charger soon afterwards. Otherwise there is no point.It would be silly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
