Andi the DON! Great list

Basically some idiot crashed into me 1994 corrado vr6. I was driving along and some idiot came out of a side road and hit my driver side front wheel, as we both couldnt stop instantly the damage went onto the wing and the door. Luckly he hit me at an angle so the damage is not scattered and basically between the wheel and the driver door. The hub which holds the suspension is not damaged luckly and its basically cosmetic. The main problem is the wheel has twisted, and im guessing if i go through insurance they will say the car is a write off, and i want to keep the car. I will probably put some pics up tomorow of the damage. Anyway so I want to buy the door, front panel, and the wheel hub (assuming the damage is only at the hub) but a bit worried as I dont want my car to look different on the left then on the right side. So any information is more than welcome.

Hey guys, Is there a difference between the corrado models from year to year physically, or did vw just made one model and run that through the life of the corrado making only a change to the bonnet. BTW what are the other differences between the vr6 model and the other models. Im guessing probably the brakes and suspensions. Basically im thinking of doing a conversion from a smaller engine to a VR6, and need to know what are the cosmetic difference between the vr6 and the others.

I have checked it, there isnt much about turbo suitability. Anyone out there who can help!

Hi guys, dont know much about turbo specs. But need to know if this turbo spec is any good for the 2.9VR6. T3T4 T04E .50AR and .63 hotside Basically need to know at what RPM will this turbo start spooling, and when will it choke, and how much psi it would produce at say 4k rpm. Also considering just the aspect ratio and stuff, If this is a rubbish turbo for the VR6, what specification would be best for reliable 300whp on a vr6. Im confused because there are so many different specs for the T3T4 turbo, how do you go about choosing the right one. Basically im trying to source the turbo and stuff myself for the VR6.

sorry forgot to mention, if our engines are the same, i.e. both don't have a circular ignition distributor (mine is a 1994 model), will i be able to simply take mine out and throw yours in without having to change the ecu and the loom. I also forgot to ask what was the milage on yours, and is £450 good. Cheers mate,

Sorry dude I don't have an engine hoist, I had to rent one to put my R32 in. That sounds a bit risky to me as well, it might not be as simple as taking yours out, putting mine in then driving away. I think you'd be better of just coming down in the van and taking it away. It only takes 3 people to lift it really, I can get it on a crate to make things easier (and cleaner!). Thats fine too, probably easier aswell. Would this weekend be fine for you. We will come most likely saturday morning, im gona bring a friend with me to help out. I think i have the same engine type as you, mine is from a 1994 corrado, without the circular ignition distributor. Just to recap, the vr6 engine you have has no problems or anything, no leaking oil or smoking when it was running or anything, basically is it a clean engine, i wont have to worry about anything. And you have decreased the compression ratio to 9:1 and chainged the chains.

Im gona try selling mine first and then I will buy yours :) Cheers for the offer tho, and hopefully get back to you asap. Have you got all the loom etc? Reason being is I will need to keep a lot of mine to run with the R32 so I'v literally just got the engine which is a late '95 coilpack one. sorry about the late reply, 450 for the engine, i think is a good price. And can i come over this weekend to pick up the vr6 engine, and will you be able to help me put it into the corrado, you dont have to help with the undoing of the bolts or anything, just some guidance would be more than welcome. Basically im hoping you have an engine hoist hanging around somewhere which i could use, i have some tools that i will be bringing down. Basically im thinking of driving down with my corrado and a van, that way, hopefully i can put your engine into the corrado and i can take mine out and put it into the van.

I ordered the turbo from ebay, will let you guys know if its any good when it arrives. i got it for 650 including postage.

Would 9:1 be enough for running close to 300bhp, by the way how much psi would i need for that on the T3/T4 turbo.

Quick question guys, what do you think of this turbo kit as a starting point: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TURBO-KIT-FOR-ALL ... 7C294%3A50 Do you think its rubbish and will be in the bin after using it for 100 miles. Its in canada, so do you know how much import charges and stuff i will have to pay. I was looking on the HM Customs website but it doesnt say much, it only says if the item is above so and so i will ahve to pay, but not how much or what the rates are.

How much do you want to sell the engine for, and where are you located. Would you do a swap for mine and i give you some cash on top? I'm in Northamptonshire, wouldn't be interested in a swap as the reason I took mine out is I have put an R32 lump in mine so would have no need for another VR lump. I'd be looking for about £500 and it's sitting here ready for someone to come take it away, just needs cleaning up a bit. Hi mate, you said the chains and stuff were replaced and a you put a headgasket spacer. So whats the compression ratio its running at the moment. What else did you replace, did you do the stem seals, bearings, and all the other smaller bits and bobs.

Hi Guys, I want to put the T3/T4 turbo in my Corrado VR6. I have brought an ABV VR6 engine and want to rebuild it so it can handle the turbo, I want to be running around 300hp. The engine has done 50k miles, thats what it said on the clock (doubt its real though). What parts should i buy/replace for rebuilding the VR6, can you list the essential parts first please. If im building the turbo kit myself, what are the parts that i will need. Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
