Volkswagen G60 engine

The Volkswagen G60 is a supercharged 1.8-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine that Volkswagen built from August 1988 to July 1993 for its performance hatchbacks. It takes its name from the G-Lader scroll-type supercharger, whose 60 mm inlet gave the G60 designation, and the smaller 1.3-litre G40 of the same design had a 40 mm inlet. Although it grew out of the EA827 family, it was modified so heavily that it is usually treated as a separate engine. It made 118 kW (160 PS) at 5,800 rpm and used a side-mounted intercooler. The G60 debuted in the Passat G60 and Golf G60 in 1988 and also powered the Corrado, and its technology later fed into the Volkswagen turbodiesel and TDI engines.
