yes for sure you will be able to put the power down and get the car moving allot better, and make use of the g60`s torque

that is cheap,, :D could be tempted to get one of these at that price,, :D

Its left me so will definatly will be with you tomorrow olly! Thankyou[/quote:59929] excellent,, Thanks :D 8) :wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8) wanted one of these sumps for ages,, :D

Just phoned G werks,, getting posted tonight i will have it tomorrow,, Excellent

excellent price darren,, PM sent

yeap!! put together and placed on the shelf by a monkey it would seem :evil: On a more positive note back in the days before i started messing about with cars properly they supplied and fitted a big valve head and cam onto my 1600 GTI and it has never missed a beat since,, top job :wink: :D

his friend (car B6 MKD) had one of their just rebuilt never used engines in his garage which Jim swapped for an un rebuilt 9A from a passat which the friend then exchanged for a genuine VW block,, :wink: Friend was fed up with TSR motors going wrong,,, and needed an engine quicker than TSR could build him one for the next trackday :cry: So in effect the engine seemed like a good deal as it was just swapped for a worn 9A passat motor, no money changed hands.. and i mean what are the chances of them making 3 rubbish engines for the same person?,, :? In hindsight quite High it would seem!! :evil: Dont think he would of bought an engine from them out of choice, He would of either got me to build him one or got one from stealth,, It was just an oppourtunity at the time,, :roll: I am building him a PROPER engine up now.. :D :twisted: :D

only way to get paint in the tube would of been if they did not mask it off when they painted the block ?

take your sump off and inspect the oil pump pick up before driving again,, also your rod bearings could be shot, and that will give you low oil pressure,,,

a new golf GTI is no match for my modded G60,, i have caned a few of them now,,

tehy look like 8v hoses to me,, especially taht big s shaped one second from left in the pic

think i am gonna bite the bullet and buy one as it means i can keep my rsr outlet etc,,

PRO alloy make them butthey will only sell it to you through jabbasport

distributor maybe? ignition switch maybe?

in excess of 190 hp,,, higher boost, cam chip pulley etc etc,,

how did you get onmike?

take it to a bodyshop and tell them to weld in a new piece and re paint,, make sure they put fresh steel in rather than filling it,,

yeap this is the Corrado Forum,, witha bit of other Vag usesrs and previous corrado owners in,, point is its cool as it is and if anyone wants to ask something about another car they just put it in vehicle related chiot chat and if someone knows the answer then they will post it,, no need for formalities here!!

think you will be hard pushed to find a forum as usefull as this one for any other type of car,, the atmosphere on here is one of a kind,,

no it isn`t,, the taller blocks are the ABF`s not found in corrado`s hence why they are called tall blocks,, 9a gains its capacity with a longer stroke crank hence the bubbles in teh castings on the side to allow it to turn round inside,, 9a is the same height as a KR

the physical dimensions of a 9A and a KR engine as far as the exhaust are concerned is the same :oops:

very professional site,, now all we need is a corrado forum discount code to put in with our orders :D edit,, i see you have a members log in nice one 8)

is that where you set the car running with the timing light on then give it a tap to see if it retards under knock? not tried this yet,, must give it a try,, car seems allot better with a fresh tank of fuel,, bought some optimax the other day and im not quite sure for that tank at least,,,, it was exactly what it says on the tin!! :? brother and i filled up at the same garage at the same week and cars were not right for teh whole duration of that tank of fuel,, seems back on track now though,,
