hey people,was thinking of building a 1341 with a big valve head, i was just wondering wot u lot would sugest to run on it, supercharger wise? oh yh do u have to have a special head gasket for 1341?
cheers Matt :)

go turbo.
can pretty much bolt-on upto about 200bhp.

can run it on whatever charger you want really. People have still got good results with the normal g-lader. Can use the normal head gasket too, there is enough clearance.

traitorrrrrr :o
there's loads of different chargers you could run, g-ladder, lysholm twin screw, eaton roots type, rotrex cetrifugal type (antonov make a two speed gearbox for the rotrex chargers)
there's quite a few options avalible turbo-wise aswell eg k03, k03s, k04, garret gt25 roller bearing turbo and thats just a few (you could bolt on whatever providing you have a corresponding manifold

k03s?
an i run a twin layer metal head gasket from a 1.4 ibiza GSF part number 621.082 i think

K03s is the same k03 but with more blades of the turbo thingy
-
I thought a K03s was just a k03 with a stronger wastegate actuator spring? Which would be pointless because you need to throw the standard actuator in the bin anyway and use a forge motorsport (or similar) aftermarket one. But then I'm no expert on turbo specs!
-
Was the K03s available for any longitudinal engined cars?
If not I think the outlet for the turbo doesn't fit on G40's due to the manifold/downpipe layout.
The K.. turbo's have to be off a longitudinal engined car e.g Passats, A6s.
I could be wrong though :P

There's no such thing as a K03s!!!!

lol that clears it up then :D
-
Do you mean a "K03s" doesn't exist or they are just the same as something else?
I have seen the term K03s used alot, so what does it actually mean :-\
-
like I said, it appears to be a normal K03 with a stronger actuator spring in it. but this doesn't mean anything on a polo because you have to bin the stock actuator anyway as they are designed to be operated by an N75 valve and not directly from vacuum/boost.

Thanks for all the input people :) wot would running a g60 charger do for me n how hard are they to fit to g40 engine? wot different intercoolers can u get for them? :)
cheers Matt
