I do like g60s but i like the idea of g45 maxrpm sell them now but are like 750 :O
And u have to exchange it.

Yeah, im very tempted to get a G45 just to see what all the fuss is about. I like it better than a G60 blower, although the power would be great, i think its too much torque. Not to mention by the time you start getting a G60 charger, charger outlet (which are expensive!) brackets, map sensor, pulleys, custom pipework, FMIC, bigger injectors (as i would think you would go over 200bhp), its soo expensive and a G45 would be a cheaper idea. No mods or nothing, just get it out the box, bolt on and get it mapped.

Been g60 researching already jezza?
Still cant believe you have both, might just get a loan and buy one lol, so dam awesome!

Haha, been looking into little things like that but im not going down the bhp gain route. Got enough in it already! Will be down in the G60 next week so will stop by.

Ah awesome! I look forward to seeing it
Well youve got the highly modified g40 and can only imagine chasing hp's on the g60 will be expensive

One of those g45 chargers came up for sale on here recently. It still went for strong money even though it was used
Any idea the pressure output difference between a 40mm and 45?

Yeah, ive resorted back to standard air box and paper filter, no need for an induction kit (other than for cold ait intake)
People use too much ptfe spray on the boost return mod, and ive now done it as i wasnt happy with the oily/watery shit going back into the charger (cant be good for apex seals)

A paper filter and an oil breather = a happy charger. I drive my car pretty hard all the time running a 65mm (well 2x drive ratio, standard is 1.6x) on the toothed pulleys. Keep a new filter in, keep the oil good and clean and its not a problem, less hassle and you never need to think about it. PTFE is horrid stuff. Apex seals will be fine with a little bit of oil mist in there, probably better than the sticky PTFE (probably a negligible amount of boost loss without the PTFE)

I have a spare Lader that will probably be sent to be converted to a G45 when I return home. Although my living in Canada seems to be getting extended every month I'm here.

Hmmm thinking about not doing the boost return now. Wanted to do it originally because wasnt happy with oil being sucked back into the engine and loweribg the fuels octane when being burnt
So oil is better than ptfe? I used a bit too much klubber grease when i serviced mine
Should i do it or not?

[RyanC]

James with the g45 u not think u will need a bigger map sensor? I guess its not that much more boost will be interesting to see the differance in power coparing the 40 to the 45 i recon u will be hitting around 200 with a 45 if u have a high spec?!

Lets not fuck about now. just get this

ha yh why not lol,
looking at the g45 u get a 0.15bar increase so 2.2 psi
and u can do it both ways so 750 euros if u give them a exchange or 999 euro if u don't!
thats a lot of money for what u get so ur looking around 17 psi out of it when its heathy
shit starts to get expensive lol but still u shouldn't need to do any additional mods it just plug and play
where as g60 will cost a lot more any u will probably go though one every year lol
hmmm best start saving ha

[z3i]

Thats alot of money man! cant see it being worth it!

[RyanC]

yh thats what i thought

[z3i]

yh thats what i thought

Id build your g40 as you are now, its probably gonna be the most powerful glader 40 powered g40 on the forum

Once youve got used to it and still wanting more power, then look at other routes, but tbh i dont think you will want too, my g40 has a generic map, no bvh and has more potential YET its still mental fast so can only imagine how yours will be

[RyanC]

ill take ur word dude i think thats the best other wise ill have chargers coming out my ears lol

[Jezza-7]

On rolette racing website, who make the G45, it does say that they process an average of 0.35 bar which is 5 psi. So you might need one but think it would be worth asking them what they use. I used to get 18psi with only de wedge and gt inlet and never had a problem.

Now the only thing i never did (wish i did) is get big valves, but i only see 12psi on my gauge now and run somewhere between 170-180 i reckon. Maybe with the G45 i would see 17psi but the airflow increases by 12% which is quite good.

Justin, the G60 engine lubricates the charger from the top of the rocker cover and was thinking that if you drilled into the G40 rocker cover, make an adapter to fit, run a hose from that to the inlet of the blanked charger that way you retain the "lube" properties and can keep the oil going in, rather than ptfe. Reckon it would work the same as the G60? Plus you can stop the hot air from recirculating.

[Jezza-7]

This is what i was trying to find, but making for the G40 charger and then hose to breather.

Obviously this is well over priced.
