Trilidon 0 Posted May 16, 2004 Anyone done this? I think ill probably be getting a turbo instead of a charger rebuild ;P just trying to do it for under 1k I figure getting a ko3 would be pretty cheap and they are so small I would get power from it pretty fast...... Any thoughts on this? anyone done a G60T with a ko3 and not a T3? I dunno much about the difference between a ko3 and a T3. when they get full spool or what not.. I just know the T3 is bigger..

Jim 2 Posted May 16, 2004 Would love to know a little more about that conversion. Seems to be quite commonly discussed / done in the USA, but is rarely mentioned over here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dubcharged 0 Posted May 16, 2004 We've done a lot of map development with G60's running turbos. Danny (one of the US SNS tuners) is building a 16v turbo and hoping to hit the 300hp mark with it running 550cc injectors! He'll be a good person to talk to about putting turbo onto a G60. mail him on: mailto:[email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruffy 0 Posted May 17, 2004 Would there be much point in using a K03 sport there so small anyway you struggle pushing 230 bhp.. T or GT series turbo sounds more worth it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GazzaG60 0 Posted May 17, 2004 ive looked ito this too. i opted against it due to heat, clearence and lag issues. you cannot get a big turbo in there a t3 super 60 is what is regarded as ideal-good for 220hp or so. you may need to shave the manifold(inlet) maybe space out the turbo on another flange and probly beat back the firewall. then heat sheild it all again. the counterflow 8v is pretty laggy unless you get a small exhaust side then your fighting against the engine at 5500-6k what i worked out id need to start with is t3 super 60 atp manifold. sump with oil tapping. oil and water feeds/returns intercooler piping downpipe with flexy section-to stop bolts backing out of manifold. dump valve. new SNS chip-no lag very important if you wanna keep your motor for longer than 2 minutes. more uprated mounts. this would go along with the current FMIC 3.5bar reg red tops 2.25 system(id have 1 of the 2 boxes removed). id think about upping the compression ration a tad by having the head skimmed then verier it up with the standard cam in. avoiding det may be a problem though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
