Do you recommend to replace the G-lader with a turbo in the G60? Will it deliver more power? Can it handle 1.4 Bar or more? what is the Bhp and Torque with 1.4 Boost? Is there any other modifications on G60 with turbo to improve it's power?! - - - - Thanks in advance
Am aiming to work on a standard engine no internal modifications for the currents stage, so lets call it G60 turbo for a "standard engine", so I want the maximum power from the G60 engine and turbo. So what do you recommend?!?
in theory youll get more power from the same boost as the turbo will have no parasitic effect, but seriously, there are hundreds of variables, hence youve had no answers
Well am aiming for 300+Bhp on standard G60 engine, am thinking in installing the Subaru Impreza 2000 Turbo for it's avilability where I live, with a big Intercooler and 1.4 or 1.5 BAR on it, and modified fuel management system. So is that achievable in my case? or what do recommend to achieve the 300Bhp!!!
Chasing figures is a bit of a fools game mate, don't bother, instead do a lot of research on turbo's and even more research on manifolds available as this may well be a limiting factor on turbo choice available to you The trouble with turbo'ing the G60 enghine is the fact that it is counterflow design meaning that the very hot exhaust manifold sits right beside the inlet manifold which is not ideal in a turbo application and it really doesn't help with flow through the engine. A 20vt with a ko4 will make circa 280bhp when remapped and will give a lot more torque than a turbo'd G60 will give due to the head design among other factors, something to think about
a glader setup can get 200+ bhp. why would you ruin a g60 block by whacking a supercharger on it?> Just go 16v turbo if you want a different vw turbo. the g60 was built to be admired
G60 is a well built engine, and in my case in limitation of the car, the G60 turbo is my best project, as it's parts availably , i can go for 20VT but for what cost?!?!? Heat shields can be used though.
by all means go for it, i was talking ideals mate. one thing i would recommend would be to run a boost sense switch instead of the WOT (wide open throttle) switch found on the on the throttle body. This will stop loads of fuel being pumped in before the turbo has spooled hindering spool up time. I ran one on my turbo'd G40 engine and it made a world of difference, set it to around 6psi
I am just about ready to get mine on the road, i am running a T3 with a original MK1 Turbo Tech manifold and currently using the stock Rallye ECU. Was planning to run 1 bar to see how it gets on and then take it from there...
one of the guys who comes along to the essex meets has a mk1 with a g60, minus the SC, plus a turbo he claims to be in the region of 270-280bhp ( cant remember for sure). he doesnt post on here, but when we see him next ill ask what he has
Anything over a bar is a bit of a danger area especially with standard pistons. We're running 310bhp at 1.3 bar on a heavilly modified engine reliably. Big Valve Ported Head, Forged Pistons (1.9L), H-Beam Rods, Jabba Exhaust Manifold, VF23 Turbocharger, 440cc injectors, 16v fuel pump etc etc. Stock map sensor doesnt read too much over a bar either, we upgrade the map sensor within the ecu so it can read up to 1.5 bar.
I may be wrong by saying this but isn't the map sensor in the rallye ecu's 250kpa meaning they can read 1.5 bar over atmospheric??
