G60 Conversion

RichG said

Can anyone confirm whether I need 76mm or 94mm lug mounts on the golf? I have gti calipers at present.
As soon as I know I will order up

Not sure to be honest. You should try asking the question in the running gear section mate, someone might be able to help in there.

 I have changed direction with my 20v build and have a G60 engine on it's way from Hibbs I had a Corrado G60 before and loved the sound and instant performance of the charger.


Anyway I have treated my self to some KW V1 inox coilovers

And a new steering wheel From this :-

To this:-

Can't go wrong with KW's mate IMO. Lovely bits of kit. Good luck with the conversion. what sort of timescale have you got for it??

Ha that was weird, the page was still submitting when I got your message on my phone lol.

The engine will be dressed over the summer with Installation starting when I take the car off the road for the winter. Should get it done quite quickly If I start to get parts together now

Nice new bits there Like the wheel

G60 will be nice too, good call  

Received my G60 engine today, big thanks to Hibbs Quickly got it on the engine stand for a clean down tomorrow, my G60 mount arrived from retrofication as well

Oh and loads of bits from VW lol

I want the engine to look like new when fitted.

RubJohny will sort me out with my loom conversion. I think I have most bits but need to sort out a manifold and exhaust system, radiator maybe and a few fuel components (lines etc.)

Does anybody know how to remove the oil filter thermo plate? I can see some bolts that attach it to the block but these are obscured by the plate.

Update:

My fuel tank got picked up for its restoration yesterday.

Also received my rebuilt supercharger from Matt at Only Charged Dubs as well as my bbm alloy fuel rail, red top injectors and sns chip. Excellent customer service, communication was brilliant.

He noticed my Jabbasport stage 4 charger wasn't ported out on the intermediate shaft and sorted that for me

Pics to follow!

Man, this car is going to be a beast!! bet you cant wait to unleash it!

loving the build mate much prefer the new direction of the G60 lump
just wanted to say i want your garage SO much space haa

 looks good mate. Good choice on the G60. One of my favourite engines in a mk1. It is going to look so good in your bay. The corrado looks very nice by the way .
