Kr + G60 + Interior ( 3 in 1 )

I already asked about engines in a different thread - And it came out that 1.8T, 1.9TDi isnt the best choice, when you want the whole swap operation to be simple.

So, could you please tell me what can be done in those engines, or give me links to dyno charts of moded KR and G60 Engines with listed changes ?

I tried google, but it was no good    ops:

Besides that - whats cheaper and more reliable - tuning the G60 or the KR ? Does the ABF even come near ?

About the interior - Im looking for pics of custom made intriors - more in a "race style" than in the luxurious one.

Hmm..

And one more - were there any LSD's in VW that can be transplanted into an mk1 ?

Sorry for asking so many questions - I searched the forum, but couldnt find too many things ( or maybe, I wasnt searching right )

Thanks  

My Interior…

Nice. Lightweight    :mrgreen:

Al, that looks tasty! 8)

Ref, i've read your other post but you're asking too many questions and not giving me enough of what you're after.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? A useable everyday car? A track day beast? An undrivable monster? Maybe a something that just sounds nice? How much power do you want? How much do you want to spend? Are you building it as a 0-60 sprinter or aiming for a silly top speed?

Oh, you'll have to buy a LSD aftermarket 'cos VW never fitted one to their boxs.

Type-R killer    I want a car capable of doing 0-60 in under 6 seconds, or a bit aboce 6

A car that can be driven daily on normal roads/streets. A compilation of a track day beast and a street racer    

How much power.. 170 - 200 ? think thats enough

About the money - The prices in Poland are different than the prices in the UK from what Ive seen on ebay. Anyway - I want the best performance available for a reasonable price.

Understood  :wink:    :y:  

In that case, i'd advise a G60 engine with a performance chip, pullley and 'charger. You can get about 190-200bhp from that and more than 200ft lbs torque. I, personally, would keep the standard GTI gearbox, i'd get it fully reconditioned with a 'bolted' ATB differential.

This engine and gbox combination would give you a 0-60 in about high 5s. Top end would be about 120 but you'd get there QUICK! You could alternatively use the G60 or a MK3 Golf TDI gearbox, just make sure you get the LSD as it'll be vital for quick starts.

I've seen a few G60s for sale resently, all have been up for sale for about 1000 pounds - i think one already had all the 190-200bhp modifications. I've also seen complete Corrado G60s go for about 1500 quid!!

Keep in mind you'll have to uprate the brakes and suspension. Ideally fit all 3 strut braces and a pair of uprated anti-roll bars. I've got 256mm front brakes on mine but with 200bhp i would definatly consider 280mm with a bigger master cylinder and servo.

Hope that helps.

I looked though a few places - and there arent too many G60s for sale here - and the ones I found were ussualy without the G.
What do you think about replacing the kompressor ( dont know how you write that in english    ) with a normal turbo ?

How much power can you get out of an engine with all of the stuff inside it being stock?

Sounds nice

120 is fast enough

A g60 here is about 500Ł but here arent too many many around - as I wrote already, the prices are much different

What do you mean by anti roll bars ? ( I dont know if I understood correctly - a pic would be nice )

about the brakes - I know that mk2 gti brakes can be easily fitted to the mk1 - what other brakes can be installed ? ( stock ones )

Hope that helps.

Sure does, everything helps

Ref, i don't really know anything about using a kompressor. i have seen a company advertise a Mini Cooper S Eaton charger(M46?) conversion but can't remember who did it

I know the G60 internals are good for 200bhp/200 ft lbs but i'm not sure of it's limit. :dontknow:

Anti roll bars are the bars that go from one suspension wishbone to the other to prevent the car from excessive body roll. There'll be one on the rear axle as well.

You can use 256mm discs, pads and calipers(54mm) from a MK2 Golf 16v post '88 but the caliper carriers will need to be sourced from either a Scirroco 16v or an Audi 90/Coupe with 256mm front brakes from mid-late '80s.

It may be worth buying a G60 without the supercharger and keeping a eye on the international e-bays? I've seen a few overhauled examples go on e-bay.

I dont think that there are too many people around who know something about kompressorsm thats why I thought that turbo would be a good idea - but on the other hand - 1.8T engines are very popular here, and Im begining to consider that one again as it could be cheaper

How do I convert foot pounds to newton meters ?  8O

Wrote that down

Shipping could kill the whole deal IMHO

After having the G-lader in my Corrado eat itself, and the costs involved to get 200bhp out of the old ABF, I'd recomend the 1.8T. There's a few MK1's about with one of these in, and if you get the Audi 180 or 225 BHP, then you won't have to mess about with ECU chips to get the power you need. It won't be cheap, as you'll need brakes and suspension to match 280mm brakes at least. Take a look at this site, may wet your appetite a little http://www.vwenterprise.co.uk/

I have seen the conversion kits for G40 Polos to use the Eaton M45 out of a Mini, they cost around ?5-600, probably do one for the G60 the charger about ?150 from a breakers.
You could turbo the PG engine, but why when there are so many 1.8Ts around
