CorradoVR6-Turbo

Its a nice set up,but its just as much hassle as fitting a FMIC,Don't think you will get away without chopping or drilling holes for pipework ect . Its more plumbing more weight,there are pros and cons. Here is the idler set up that ive been working on.

Thanks :thumbleft: feels like im on the Corrado Database :lol:

I've wrapped belt around the pulley like Paul has but am adding another pulley aswell to help,it will be an easy Mod and will tell you what and how when i get a chance. Been finishing off the cooling for the FMIC and had it running for the first time in along time! Wow :shock: The whistle form the charger and the air dumping off sounds lush !! quick rev to 4k has seen over 10psi !!

Its straight forward to do,why do you think that mount is weak?

Very nice,looks in good nick + you have the weather EDIT love your sig......lol

They look well on black,but i like the whole light tinted not just the main beam.

Nice looking Rado...not keen on these new fangled push button starter ma-thing-ama-jigs..

Quick quiz.... The Big one is 8 psi... What is the small one going to be?......... Kev Have you got more info on your Sytec pump? who supplies them and is it a direct replacment for your stock one?

and im almost finished my install !!! :lol: Fitting a FMIC is by no means a walk in the park but neither is getting a cooler and rad made up to suit. You will still need to modify allot to get the pipes to where you want to go and having a custom cooler is good but is just as time consuming. Im adding pictures as i go along to give people an idea what to do and improve on it,everything I've done is on a very tight budget so can be done by anyone. :wink: and might not seem so daunting after reading this thread :lol: Here is a few more pictures..

Lol...tell me about it !! haven't driven the C for a over a month now ! Arrgghh but the end is in sight ,intercooler is almost plumbed in,i tried in vain to use :( the stock fans but they are to bulky,so have ordered a pair of slim line 10" fans. Just waiting on the pulley for the supercharger and to finish reassembling the front end at last ! then off for that re-map that i have needed since i bought the dame thing! :bad-words: The centre gauges took some fitting aswell,but as you said it was better than clogging up the A-pillar. 8)

Nice...What happened to it?

Nice looking,how is your radiator held in?

VR6 Glock, The dimension are on this site were i had bought the IC from ,good prices aswell :mrgreen: http://www.thsparts.co.uk/ THSINT-002 rmn, Cheers fella :thumbleft: To be honest Kev i haven't looked much into getting injectors at this stage yet but im sure they are the same as Cosworths run as my mate runs Bosh Greens in his.But i will find out. Still waiting on pipes so its doing nothing at the moment and cant use it for VW Festival this weekend in Leeds...Gutted !!

is it in a corrado?

I put in a KR cam in my last 2 litre ABF and all it did was make it flat on top end, as flusted said leave it be as they are good cams to start off with. I converted my old golf with the full ABF management and running gear and once it was remapped it was pushing close to 180bhp

The mesh in the bumper is scraped now,going to smooth the hole off and paint it and i can add some water jets for extra cooling! Decided to stick with the stock 10:1 ratio for now until i can see how it performs on the rollers. If i see over 300bhp which i will :wink: I will leave it for the time being.Until funds allow :lol: Then next its a CR drop 440cc injectors + more boost = :twisted:

It has no damper,it ran fine before without a damper before the fault developed

Cheers :thumb right: Its my oil cooler,don't want to damage the core while its been tossed about.

But we are family... :lol:

its sits in a hole on the drivers side lower grill.

Just to add some new pics. Been Busy stripping engine down to check and rebuild with new seals gaskets and ARP head bolts. Fitted SP manifold,6 branch manifold + DE-cat pipe and made up 63mm exhaust pipe straight through to supersprint rear box. Been chopping and hacking away to make way for FMIC and pipework,waiting for pipework to arrive this week. Got custom pulley for supercharger made up so hopefully see 15psi + Then its off to Vince to get remapped and cant wait to see the results :twisted:

My friend with a VR6 mk2 has this 00533 'adaption limit exceeded' we have tried ECU,ISV,TPS checked continuity on all the wires and its still there ! But his revs on its own and cant hold light throttle. 00533,still there.

Thinks this will be my next project...nice work Coxy

Thanks for the reply's,its been hard work and be prepared to cut allot out to Fit but it should be worth it 8) Few more pick's with lower grill fitted and temporary mesh grill,I'm after the honey comb type on seats ect,but cant find along enough piece. Not sure on the number plate............. :? Campbell0240 the charger will get hot as its bolted to the engine as you said has hot oil passing thought it and it is compressing air. Once your on the move it will cool down,the VR's are a very hot engine most of the time that's why an oil cooler and intercooler is the way to go. As for cams most run 268 and supposed to increase mid range.? If you are running stage two set up with red injectors you will have a MAF clamp with your kit which stops the MAF having a fit when the charger draws more air past then it can handle,think the clamp limits the peak voltage at 5volts? So Vince removes the MAF as its a pain. Have fun :wink:

Looking good,i need to get black leather.
