Ralphy Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Just been on phone to PSi Tuning ! And asked about conversion ! And he said he would do g60 conversion on my loop for 5000+ vat ! I asked for a different charger which would boost price up alot Time for saving i say ! Might read the thread about the g60 conversion in a loop !

I asked for a different charger which would boost price up alot Time for saving i say ! Might read the thread about the g60 conversion in a loop !They'll do a spot on job though don't worry bout that and as i found when i was getting mine done there they were quite cheap compared with the phirm, storm and especially JBS!! as well as a couple of others, i know its not the same conversion but just thought I'd throw opinion in for gd measure lolSam.

Ralphy Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Yeah man your the reason i rang them lol ! wanted your conversion however so expensive and that is without extra's ! See i would want some loud bov/chatter and some extra bling aswell so lol ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyp Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I dont understand why a diff charger would be more expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 G-lader is stock they would supply a engine with the g lader ! However if i wanted for example Bahn or eaton its a extra part Dunno ! I want a loud charger like the whine of yours love it ! I bet u get so many looks driving down road dont u ?

scotty_82 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 If i had to fork out 5k plus in one lump some just to get an engine put in then then id be seriously considering just buying a bigger engined car as standard .In my eves just paying for it to be put in just doesnt add up, each to their own though .

Ralphy Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Quick update ! Got a polo gti engine for 160 pounds today !!!! which is more than chuffed with however comes with no gearbox and no loom have ecu tho ! Havent payed yet so could get cheaper as he is a close mate !!! Could i just use the polo gti engine for supercharging or is there any thing specific needed from the lupo gti ????

andyp Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 g60's arent quiet though, mines got a little more silencing but thats only as its got an extra box to get round a sensor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then tuning that slightly with some new internals ! etc !! what sort of power do u recks could get with a polo gti engine ? Ideas guys !!!

andyp Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 if running standard ecu and internals then prob 180 brake, depends on how much you want to spend really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 This is the 1.6 16v lump ! Urmm dunno really it all depends on how much is saved and if i have a cheap year ! U never kno what could happen ! i think this supercharging business will keep me off road too long ! Unless i can find company who can do work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a loud charger like the whine of yours love it ! I bet u get so many looks driving down road dont u ?the noise is great, good luck on it being a daily though. my old m45'd polo was stupidly loud but yes, i think it turned heads more than any other car i've ever owned.a g60 on toothed belts sounds fantastic though.personal opinion here, but i would definitely just save up and buy a faster car. My VR6 cost sod all but I am quite confident it'll be just as quick as some of the eaton'd Lupo's running low boost. First rule of thumb when building a fast car on a budget - start with a fast car in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 a standerd lupo gti will keep up with a standerd vr6, if i was going for a cheaper faster car golf 1.8t with a remap, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rule of thumb when building a fast car on a budget - start with a fast car in the first place. Your polo was insanely loud. Although i can appreciate it when you say its loud. Before i changed the way mine was piped up it was over the top loud. And was a pain to do long journeys with.Now when cruising along, its more the exhaust note than charger whine you can hear. Untill you give it a bit of throttle.to put it in comparison, i handed a 200bhp vr6 its ass on the way back from UD, he dropped a cog, and i pulled away in 6th. Im not low boost though!The vr6 originally did 60 in 7.1 seconds. Faster than a standard gti on paper, but to be honest you need less power increase on the lupo to beat a modified vr6 due to power to weight and all that jazz.

gareth Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 think the diff on 0-60 is less than half a second, but like you said john power to weight ratio means tuning is more rewarding on a gti.would love to see a vr6 try its luck against you hahawhen i get a chance i will reply back to your pm only just got on a pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faster than a standard gti on paper, but to be honest you need less power increase on the lupo to beat a modified vr6 due to power to weight and all that jazz.A full weight Lupo GTi is not a great deal lighter than a Mk3 VR6, about 200kgs I think, and I've shed some serious weight out of mine with more to go. Obviously if you then add on big heavy leather seats and a stereo and what-not, it all adds up, plus the weight of the charger and pipework and intercooler, blah blah. I'm sure the Eaton set-up on my G40 added a good 50-60kgs to the car and that was the stock intercooler. I seem to remember videos of PaulBin's car popping up and it only doing 15 second passes, that's nothing special, unless he can't drive for poop.Your car is a totally different beast though, a lot more boost and an extra 40-50bhp over these other Eaton conversions, and I really hope you can get it down the strip with some proper tyres on because I'm convinced it wouldn't be far off a 13 second pass if you can launch it properly. I'd still give it a go purely because I'd love to see the comparison, win or lose, it's always interesting. Don't worry I wasn't saying my VR would be quicker than your GTi, that would simply be defying maths and physics, which don't lie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
