I can vouch for them ^^

I'd stick with the synta silver OE spec oil. 10w40 semi-synthetic, it's spec'd with the oil feed to the supercharger in mind. I'd check your oil temp sender firstly (Replace for new) and go from there.

Strange...You did choose 'Volkswagen' from the drop down menu I'm guessing Eric?

Would be interested to hear what peoples 'Manufacture' dates are...You can find out here > http://www.volksdevil.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1731 Mine was manufactured 23/3/1992 and is an 'N' chassis/late model.

Yep. Lots are mixed and matched after being around for so long. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing. I actually prefer the early bonnet for example lol. But on a more serious note it could...show signs of repair work. That bumper could actually be a late one (Hard to see the trim line in pics) with early lighting fitted. Lighting doesn't seem to si very well. Bumper seems to match the front wings well enough. Late bumper lighting will swap into early bumpers with a small tweak btw.

Payment sent. Neil.

None of that was actually added to the late G60's, only the VR6.:thumbleft: But the rest below is correct:thumbleft: and you can easily change a lot of it. I'm not aware of any G60 factory fitted with a late interior, pretty sure there weren't any. The late G60 also had: Different door handles (Raised area around key hole) Although some changeover cars had early style. Different floor pan to accommodate late style exhaust system and bar style hangers. Also larger fuel tank and associated straps. Late/VR6 style slam panel (TBC But yes for 'N' chassis onwards.) Fatter wing/door mouldings. I'm really (Geekily) interested in the early/late G60 thing, I'd love to know how many late ones there are so I started a facebook page but it's not busy enough really. https://www.facebook.com/VwCorradoG60 A rough rule is that anything 'N' chassis onwards is a late model. Couple pics for bumper comparison. Note the early one actually has a late bonnet though, probably fitted afterwards or none UK model...also shows different grill etc Late style front bumper/grill etc. EDIT: If it was actually an SLC (U.S spec) it would also have side markers in the buper.

Cheaper from Ford dealership apparently. :thumbleft:

Few old pics...

Cheers lads, that link is good for size referencing...Have come across these > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350495338627 Just awaiting an answer to confirm that they really are paper elements. Neil.

Neal, did it have any movement/slack in it when fitted? Just that this is the problem with my current one (Pulls a long way before catching) so obviously I don't want to replace it with one that has the same issue. If you can confirm that then pm me payment details for that and the switch please mate. Presume £30 posted is good for both... Neil.

Dave, As far as the G60 brackets that we shortly discussed before... Mine may not actually be the best to work from thinking about it. As it's a late style Corrado it actually has a VR6 style slam panel so probably has VR6 style brackets as well...bloody thing!

Hi mate, First dibs on the late door handle (With raised key hole) if you can confirm it's the drivers side (Looks like it) but must be nice and tight with little play before latching? And I'll take the headlight switch too. £30 posted? Can Paypal straight away as a gift.:thumbleft: Neil.

Has anyone ever found or come across a round/cylindrical paper air filter? Much like this k&n one but with a paper element? Needs a 63 or 70mm internal inlet diameter. Neil.

That's what I'm unsure on Owen...The lean spike is actually happening when the throttle body is fully open, WOT switch activated and hitting WOT map on the chip. Hmmm. Just thinking about my 20,000 year running issue, and wondering if it's there showing it's face on the logs.

Can anybody else see an issue here? I'm pondering over the initial lean spikes at WOT...

Just thought i'd pop this here for anyone interested :thumbleft: The specification being logged: Ported charger. 68mm pully. RSR Charger outlet. Boost return deletion. Heavily ported/polished and dewedged throttle body. Sierra cosworth FMIC. SNS 5.5 chip. Ford red tops injectors - 312cc @ 3bar and 14.5ohms. Porsche 3.5bar fuel pressure regulator. First Run (Three logs): 60mph 4th gear to WOT through to 5th gear. Log 1: Log 2: Showing only the WOT and gear change from above. Log 3: Showing the average AFR's of the above. Min: 10 Max: 22 Average: 12 Second Run (Three logs): 80mph 5th gear to WOT. Log 1: Log 2: Showing only the WOT from above. Log 3: Showing the average AFR's of the above. Min: 11.9 Max: 12.8 Average: 12.3 So the most important part of all that is the bottom log, showing only full throttle (WOT) in 5th gear. With a minimum of 11.9AFR, Max of 12.8AFR (Perfect!!!!!) and Average of 12.3AFR (Slightly rich but good!!!) it shows that we are safe running this spec fueling wise. And onto the 65mm Pulley Fitted the new 65mm pulley along with new belt and small charger timing belt. Initial thoughts on driving home in traffic revealed an issue...As far as logging/measuring It gets to 'X' speed much quicker lol. It feels very much more pokey/faster and actually runs better! Especially at tickover and as far as throttle response (rpm rises quicker) Anyway, onto the logging with the 65mm pulley. Same runs as before. First Run (Three logs): 60mph 4th gear to WOT through to 5th gear. Log 1: Log 2: Showing only the WOT and gear change from above. Log 3: Showing the average AFR's of the above. Min: 10 Max: 19 Average: 12 Second Run (Three logs): 80mph 5th gear to WOT. Log 1: Log 2: Showing only the WOT from above. Log 3: Showing the average AFR's of the above. Min: 11.7 (.2 drop) Max: 13.3 (.5 rise) Average: 12.4 (.1 rise) Good!!! So at wide open throttle in 5th gear, the 68mm pulley has an average AFR of 12.3 and the 65mm pulley has an average AFR of 12.4! All good. But the interesting thing is that the 65mm pulley runs leaner initially at full throttle. You can actually feel this as it seems to have more of a surge, and I'd say on the 68mm it felt more flat even though there was more fuel! You can see this on the below image where I've put the 68 and 65 side by side, notice the 65mm runs leaner at initial wide open throttle. The red line running across is 12.8AFR, which most consider ideal fueling at WOT. And there we have it...some 'rough' logs/results of 68 VS 65 pulleys. Neil.

I just spotted a Corrado! I just spotted a Corrado! (Don't see one too often lol) N' reg I think, Blue, VR6, Burnley town center. Totally standard, tidy looking.

Well it was 208 iirc before adding the 65mm pulley today, I'm not expecting a massive power increase obviously, but be good to see the more aggressive curve with more torque. PS: Any thoughts on that air box lid mate? Ian is digging one out for me, but may need two.

65mm feels bloody awesome eh lol. Be interesting to see Owen, and yep, it's not like we need/want to be going crazy with the rpm anyway especially with the restrictive heads (Mine is anyway) Be good to get it back on the rollers now to see how it's altered the figures.

Too kind redborbet, thanks mate:thumbleft: OK...Fitted the new 65mm pulley along with new belt and small charger timing belt.

I've wondered the same as I'm forever coming across them...Can a 301 redirect be done?

Sure mate... Worth noting that mine is a late style (Wider front wings etc) and I have had 6mm machined off the faces of the rear discs so the rear wheels sit in a little. Wheels all round are: 9x16 ET15 with 215/40 tyres.:thumbleft:

Cheers Manny. Just done some wideband AFR logging. All the below is with: Ported charger. 68mm pully. RSR Charger outlet. Boost return deletion. Heavily ported/polished and dewedged throttle body. Sierra cosworth FMIC. SNS 5.5 chip. Ford red tops injectors - 312cc @ 3bar and 14.5ohms. Porsche 3.5bar fuel pressure regulator. First Run (Three logs): 60mph 4th gear to WOT through to 5th gear.

Min: 11.9 Max: 12.8 Average: 12.3 So the most important part of all that is the bottom log, showing only full throttle (WOT) in 5th gear. With a minimum of 11.9AFR, Max of 12.8AFR (Perfect!!!!!) and Average of 12.3AFR (Slightly rich but good!!!) as the plan is to fit my 65mm charger pully and then do the same logging again. Neil. :thumbleft:

Agree with all of the above, including the early bonnet:thumbleft: Chassis number should tell you if it's an early/late shell, or the petrol tank size, exhaust hanger type...
