Lysholm supercharcher

Yh I know they had a g60 scroll but just didnt sound like that much of a increase but I guess it is,
It not full size g60 scroll tho they have shortened it haven't they?, yh take material from the g40 casing to make it wider inside and take material from the g60 scroll so it fits and machine grooves back in the scroll for the sealing strips. Something to think about because I'm gonna be running a Bvh, 51mm tb, gt inlet, bigger fmic, 1341 bottom end witch all make the boost pressure drop so chucking the g45 on there will bringing it back up again. 5psi more sounds nice!

Yeah but for that money you could buy a good ported g60 charger and the brackets
How much boost does the g60 produce with a 70mm pulley? That way there isnt nearly as much stress on the charger, but still making more than a g45

[RyanC]

Yh I guess ur right lol ill stick with my full blend for the moment can always do it another time,
Ur still looking at £1000 worth of parts, I've just been told that apartment they are makeing g60s again at vw!

[z3i]

They are making g60's at vw? Why? How? If thats true, i want one!

[RyanC]

The vw specialist I work next to told me but he said there at over £2000!

[z3i]

Why are they remaking them? I cant see them selling very many at that price. For £2k you could fit a heavily modified 1.8t engine to your g60 rado or golf
you could get a g75 charger for that

[RyanC]

Only saying what I've Been told ask them!

[Yoof]

Probably NOS G60 laders, I highly doubt VW have set up a manufacturing line to support a production run in the hundreds, especially when most boosting systems are now supplier based, not OEM.

Jezza- what are you hoping to achieve with breather system mods? If you want the BRV open to atmosphere, and still want oil to lubricate the charger, then remove the pipe from the BRV and stick a filter on it, charger will have fresh air, and still evacuate the crankcase of oil vapour. Moisture presence isn't a problem, things coated in oil tend not to oxidise easily.

G45 seems expensive and pointless to me, G60 with a larger pulley seems more sensible. Gearbox is ultimately the limiting factor to any high powered option though.

[Jezza-7]

Just to lubricate the charger properly instead of ptfe stuff.

I did think about just modding a metal pipe and connecting it to the inlet filter of the charger with the breather hose going into that.

With the boost return pipe still as standard fitment, when the BRV is closed, the charger will suck from the crankcase right? So if i took my current 25mm breather hose off my catch tank and then routed it to feed the blanked side of the charger it should suck the same?

Yeah G60 is deffo a better option than G45. More fun as well i bet.

[RyanC]

I think ill see how people get on with it. but I'm sure I will be using a g60 one day

lol, and then you'll want more and you'll end up going turbo

i think we've hijacked the absoloute shit out of sams thread

[Jezza-7]

haha, yeah.

shhh i wont and well a good bit of info on here so hopefully people will use it instead of reposting.

Re-post all the way, we may as well get rid of the search feature.

It is a shame the gearbox is the limiting factor, I don't know a huge amount about gearboxes but surely there is an alternative we could use?

the search feature isnt very good anyway. if you search " how to fit an eaton charger" it searches for those words in seperate paragraphs rather than the title. so you get a for sale add that says. " i thought about fitting an eaton charger. but couldnt get the brackets to fit it" lol

i read a post of club polo about gearboxes, it was a long old thread, and there was no real outcome. golf gearboxes are too much of a pain to fit and dont offer any superior strengths, other polo boxes that fit dont use stronger parts. the only option was the s1600 boxes, which are mega strong built for the race cars
but obviously they are insanly rare and cost more than jezza's g60
the dutch must have overcome this problem as they all seem to run 400hp g75 16v 1.5 1w engines
