g60

jamiecoysh · 04-05-14, 09:45 PM

im currently running the 2.0e (3A) engine and was wondering if it was possible to make it run the supercharger of a 1.8 g60 engine. Ive been told I would need to run a decompression plate but then would it be a case of a acquiring the charger pipes etc or would it still require the loom?

Or would it be easier to aquire the complete engine and loom? also would my gearbox standup to the extra power as I would still have to use it with a replacement engine

cheers

If you want to use G60, better use it together with PG engine. Everything else done properly will involve bigger amount of money and G60 isn't the best choice anyway. Regardless of gearbox, it will withstand PG torque, as it isn' really a powerhouse.

so what would a good choise be? I want something with a turbo ( but not the 1.8 20v ) its a disgusting engine and makes me quiver even thinking about it

would like the 3B engine but without the Quattro don't think it would go maybe 7A

Go for the same PG engine, use it in stock form or put VEMS and bigger compressor on it.

3B will work without problems on dry pavement in stock form.
