RS VR6

I'm sure not if this was covered, but here are the parts you need: All you need for a VR6 corrado is... TT rotors, TT carriers, mk3 288mm VR6 calipers, and spacers for the carrier->spindle bolts. I think the spacers are either 6mm or 8mm, can't remember. I also used the brake line and fitting off a mk4. Also requires 16" or larger wheels. Here is an old picture on my 16in Oettingers. The calipers have since been repainted. Another pic. Hope this helps.

That stuff is awesome. Its not supposed to be used on its own. Its supposed to be a quick "touch up" for the wax thats already on the car. Good to use before a show or a meet.

I can't tell in the picture, but the OBD 2 TB has different mounting holes. A easy way to tell is to hold your TB up to the Schrick part and see if the holes line up.

Woohoo!! Got my exhaust! On the car.

From what I've read on Vortex, they do work. You just need the proper amount of fueling for them to work. There a few guys running them with turbos with good results.

Heres the exhaust I'm picking up next week. Neuspeed full stainless from the converter back. Heres a pic on a friends car.

Does anybody have a VGi with a VF kit? If you guys don't already know...the VF inlet pipe WILL NOT fit the VGi without modifications. Heres mine:

Try here...the newer pics are gone though. :( http://www.cleaned.be/forum/index.php?s ... 12755&st=0

Make sure you take LOTS of pics at the E38 show!!! :salute:

There are quite a few companies that make vr6 cams. There is Piper and Kent also. Do your homework...go to some vr6 meets and talk to people with cams and ask if you can take a ride in their car. Up the Irons!!!!! :evilbat:

If your going to do cams and supercharge later, a company here called DSR makes a set of forced induction cams. They are 256 in duration. Schrick also sells a set of FI 248 cams. Dynos for the DSR cams. http://www.dynospotracing.com/vwdyno.htm

Sweet n' low. :thumbleft:

The 24v VR6 makes 201bhp (here in the states) from the factory. The R32 engine makes 240bhp from the factory

Who would do all that just to seat the brakes? Just be easy on the brakes for the first 200 miles.

Very nice car. Why did you go with the RS front instead of the Oettinger?

The engine mounts are subject to forces in all directions. Basically the three engine mounts "suspend" the motor in the bay. The motor mounts need to have some kind of play in order to not put undue stress on the other parts of the engine. If your going to run a solid mount type...the "play" is going to be gone and the stress or shock from the engine wanting to move is going to be placed elsewhere. Like I said before...I have no proof that the VF mount caused the stress crack. Just something to be aware of. Its really making me think twice about my engine mounts.

Its not my car. My friend found it on a Corrado he's parting.

Those wheels are huge and have airbags.

I guess it depends on the power of the car also. That crossmember came out of a 3.0l VR6. Who knows...maybe its was cracked before the mount went in. I'm not trying to scare the crap out of people...its just something to be aware of. :wink:

Thats not the solid one. The poly on top is to suck up some vibration during idle and give it some play during hard acceleration. Under hard acceleration, the engine wants to pull up. The solid mount eliminates that movement...so it gets transferred to another point on the crossmember. Like I said...I have no proof that the engine mount caused it...but you never know.

Now I have to proof that the engine mount caused it...but its something you should be aware of. I myself have all the VF mounts in my car...so its just making me think. I imagine the solid mounts would make it worse. They take up no vibration or any of the shock from the engine movement. All that shock and vibration has to go somewhere...guess where it went. The VW engineers designed the soft squishy mounts for a reason besides comfort.

Who gave you that bit of infomation? I don't see how the extra displacement can hurt. There is a guy out here that did a 3.0l to go with his VF. His car got fast...er. "No replacement for displacement" BTW...Your issue finally made it to the states. Awesome job on the car!! I don't think we'll ever see that type of work here in the states...at least not yet.

"The EIP 3.0L features EIP custom high compression forged light weight alloy pistons (turbo version features low compression), tool steel taper wall wrist pins, spiral lock pin clips, street/race ring pack. Rod bolt set, rod bearing set, main bearings,thrust bearings, lower gasket set. (Special EIP E-PROM included to maximize performance). Multiple compression ratios available. High Compression $2399.00 Turbo $2399.00" That's not including the price of boring out the block and labor for putting the motor together.

I don't think 4x100 LM's exist. Over here they run about 600-700 usd each.
