hi i just join kind of and well my mk2 g60 is my 3rd mk2 ive ha now i had a 1.6 driver, a 1.8 16v and now this an ill be honest i know nothing about cars and the g60 supercharger all i know is mk2s look lush :grin:
but i want to get more power out of the car and just more of a sleeper now i aint a boy racer an u can see that about the car but im just sick of my mate with a rx7 400bhp ( jap rap) sayin that mines rubbish and he will eat me well i want to put a en to this now and slay him on cornners and straghts so i want to know about the 4 motion and also how to turn my beast into a animal.
is there any way i ould do a 2.1 16v super charger ( as i said i know nothing about cars )
also how do i get pics up of the car ? :embarassed:

Well google for start on G60's and learn about your car!
A G60 physically will not get to more than 250BHP so your mate is right, but don't forget your G60 is about 17 years old!!!! Some times its not about all out speed but fun driving a well sorted G60. Your engine size can only handle 1.9 litres otherwise the block would explode :tongue: Unless you drop a 20Vt :sad:
-
To get to 400bhp would cost some coin and as already mentioned by Jay, an engine conversion. Four wheel drive will cost you loads of money, make it heavier and you will actually loose power through it so I don't see that as an option for you.
-
Just tell you mate to FO and take his jap POS with him, you clearly have the better car.
-
^^^ Tell it like it is :grin:

If you want to 'beat' you mate, sell the G60 and buy an Mitsubishi Evo then big turbo it.
If you want to enjoy the old skool charged dub, start by reading here..

thanks guys its a looker of a car and u can see that when i work out how to put pics on here cause yeah im not a I.T man.
ok so i aint going to beat my mate in a flat out race and i had thought about the Evo 5 but i have the mk2 running through my vains.
what can i ddo to get my g60 up to 250bhp and if its going to way her down screw the 4 motion i just want the max ponys out of her.

Rebuild to 1.9, big valve head and ported/pulley'd charger with remap and fuelling to suit would see you knocking on a reliable 250-260bhp.
-
You could get 250bhp a number of ways but here's an example
Full Exhaust system
68mm Pulley and SNS ECU Chip
Full Blend Charger
Grey top Injectors
Big Valve head
Possible Capacity Increase
with 250bhp you might want to think about Gearbox ratios and a LSD as well.

Yep LSD for front wheel drive conversion to keep all that down, otherwise you will go through tyres every six months and have wasted the BHP doing burnouts. :laugh:
There is always the 16V charged limited route, but even thats a mission to get it to work properly!

PS The guys coments on here is spot on!!!

how about throtal bodys is is that just pointless. i will learn about cars i swear lol :embarassed: pis will be up in a hour or two aswell so what u think of her.
also what would be the best gear box set up to go for my mates on they sunbeams and mk1 & 2 eascorts us quaif should i be lookin in to stuff like that aswell?
-
I would get your G unit checked first fella unless you have a rebuild recipts?
J
-
it just had a rebuild few miles ago but i want it re done so i know that it has been done and it aint going to go any time soon
-
You know just apex strips costs upto 150-200 depends how the scroll looks?
Its not abad idea if you have no proof. I would rather pay the 200 than 600 on a second hand one and that still needs rebuilding aswell fella :sad:

yeah the thing is the car was enported over from germany by awsome and its hard alot of work done to it and the resites are full so its hard to find some stuff so id rather take it back to jabba were the last resite was from and spend that muh to get it checked an re done if needs be its that safer scene in the back of yr head then aswell aint it
-

also i ccant get the ar past 120 speed is that normal for the g60 ? it gets to 120 easy then it really stugles then it seems as if it dies
-
Sounds like something ain't right as my 8v MKII Gti wil do over 120mph (on the clocks at least).
