Modified audi rs2 inlet would be the daddy, but it'll cost more than the 'rocco one and the pre-made integration kits dont cater for it .. very expensive way of doing it with custom made brackets and such.

jetta if you're balancing the crank and flywheel get the 'rods done too.. G60 rods are well up to the task, then its just a case of choosing the right pistons. Im told the standard KR cams work well with the 16vG60 engine .. which makes sense .. all the characteristics of the revvy 16v gti but with a great big whack of supercharged torque all the way through.. very smooth :cool:

So just flowing the head for a start and putting in new pistons to suit the job out with needing to get the correct compression in the engine along with lightening & balancing the crank along with new con rods & big end bearings with a lightened flywheel will suffice do you reckon? Where will be the best place to take the engine to have this work carried out?
Will the 16vflywheel work with a G60 corrado box??
Also im looking for a Decent clutch to put into the car for the mean time with the 8v G60 lump while i build up the 16v engine to the correct specifications!!  :laugh:

why more expencive? if you do all the work yourself i bet it will cost less. those scirocco manifolds are rare, and not in the ebay sense. i suppose if you get the throttle body off the s2 as well then it will just be a case of a hacksaw,cut out one port and get someone to weld it back up for you. i know which one i would use :cool:

Horses for courses really ... im building mine as simply as possible, i dont want to arse about with custom fabricating every little pipe elbow and hose to reposition the alternator under the 'charger, nevermind the brackets to hold it all there in the first place. (with the BB kit everything is there for you just to bolt together)

I got my 'rocco manifold for £50 delivered, from california.. they're not -that- hard to find, just dont get one from the UK or you pay ebay prices.

i was all ready to sell it too after speaking to JMR at inters and do it his way ... but a) im not that rich .. and b) i want to do as much of it myself as i can.. and the BB kit makes it easy enough for a numpty like me to do it :grin:

i might make a manifold like that for a standard 16v, see if there is any difference. It must be significantly better not having the engine directly heating the manifold :undecided:

what injectors do most people use on, say 300bhp limiteds?

mmm Ive not got that far into looking at injectors yet!! I am getting a rocco inlet as this seems the simplest way with enough documentation on it too!! They are not too much on ebay.com (usa) but carrage will be the bulk of the cost.
