rhd golf syncro g60

[kevinwilson]

hi guys just a quick question, is there such a thing as a rhd g60 syncro or have they been modified. Also do they use the same running gear as the 1.8 carb syncro. cheers

so if i wanted to put say a 1.8 20v turbo into a standard syncro what would i need to upgrade, i.e gearbox with a rallye box etc etc etc, any ideas would be more than appreciated. would the 4wd system hold a bigger engine

thanks

Ask syncromike, he has/had a Rallye with a 300 bhp 1.8t motor and a Rallye drive train,

for a minimum you would need the G60S front drivetrain and also the brakes would need to be upgraded to G60 standards.

Hi, I suppose the first question is how much power are you going to run? up to 250BHP the Rallye gearbox and drivetrain will last quite well unless you do lots of 0-60 times or traffic light GP’s.
Over 250BHP then go to Haldex, for any chance of any reliabilty.
do a search on Haldex conversions on here and vw vortex to see what is involved in such a conversion. Do make sure you do the brakes and suspension at the same time. Standard syncro brakes and 20vt power is not a good mix. good luck.

cheers guys will do some research, thanks for the tips

hey again, say i was going to go up to 250 bhp and run the rallye parts what sort of a price would I be looking at including the breaks, clutch, running gear etc the full lot fitted by a garage

cheers again
