covincharger

interior could do with a spruce up,but engine first cosmetics later.yes all based on 930 turbo.rear tyres are 255/45/17.fiberglass shell is well made and double skinned.quite a rare kit only 300 made.ive driven a real911 supersport and the build quality and solidness is obvious.mine rattles abit but it wont rust is tax excempt and only cost £180 QUID a year ins for 5000 miles.the parts are cheap and with the cost of juice its economical.it also is nearly 500kg lighter so if i get the corrado up to 190bhp ill have same power to weight ratio ,scary!!!

jonhs just aquired g60 engine for his covin and ripped out janspeed turbo engine(hes not keen on fords).looks like well be on this forum a fair bit with questions galore.its gonna be a busy time. ]

its built on covin chassis using vw type 3 front beam and suspension with type 3 gearbox.although its only got 112hp its pretty quick weighing only 800kg.power to weight ratio is 144 bhp/ton which is the same as the standard corrado g60.with corrado engine in and 160 hp it should be about 200 bhp/ ton.a close ratio gearbox will be fitted to cope with power as type 3 gearboxes although only had 50hp max through them they were that well built(vw quality)they can take up to 150hp ,although the box gets a bit whiney after 80mph .the 8valver sounds the buisness probably due to there only being 2foot off pipe from btm of manifold to back box,god knows what g60 will sound like,a bit of a monster heres hoping!

hi all just aquired tired old g60.hoping to refurb eng and charger before transfering engine into my covin porsche replica which has mk2 gti 8v engine at the moment .i love the sound of the supercharger hence the choice for the conversion.is it common for the g60 to shoot flames out the back! as mine has .picture of my covin and corrado soon.
