My first project G60 Turbotechnics

Ok i am learning as i go along but so far so good! My MK1 started life as a scruffy and tired GTI i decided to have a respray done and basically stripped it down to the bare esentials.I was going to go for all original refurb and have it looking like new but decided the original laser green was a bit dull, not only this but was pretty sure in no time i would get bored of the standard engine so have done the brave one and started a (seemingly endless) project!
So far i have the uprated 16v brakes + servo and scirocco 16v rears, i still need to sort the suspension out. I have a G60 low compression engine with G60 cable change box and an original turbotechnics kit from 1983. my plan is to run the G60 on the mechanical k jet system with the mechanical design turbo- i can see i may have a few teathing problems but in theory it should all work- i also have some original large GTI engineering injectors which should fit nicely.
I am thinking it may be an idea at a later date to run the g60 ECU but this is something i need to research!
The reason for the turbo is i like them and i got the complete Technics kit a while back which has never been used-  not only this but its a nice unusual mod, something for the shows.
Anyway so far this is where its at! currently i am on it about a day a week due to work but hopefully should be out and about in a few months.

Any opinions or advice received with thanks.

very cool mate  :mrgreen:

please dont ruin the set up by running a g60 ecu on a turbo car

you can get megasquirt for ?350 which is full fuel and spark mapping

love the colour what is it

is that a british leyland colour?

it suits the car whatever it is?

Lush colour.

it looks like lofotun green ???

It did take ages to find the right colour, was abit worried at first but then the result was perfect. Cant remember the colour name off the top of my head ill check when i am there next.

looks like the citron at the bottom of this page

my mates dad used to have a mini clubman estate in that colour

I agree with the others /\ that colour is very nice indeed. Reminds me of a BL colour called Applejack, top 70s colour.

Lovely colour that

Doubt he's going for small bumpers it still has the holes in the wing for normal bumpers. Get some chrome trim bumpers and chrome side strips and it will look lush

Nice idea's goin on there,you twin charging it or just turbo? Are you thinking of selling the G60 ECU and charger?

Who cares what's "scene"… Just do what you like best!  

Nice colour by the way. I was thinking of a something similar but will have to go for something a bit different now!
