-
just removed my kr engine and ive noticed at the back near the fire wall theres a big block of metal. is this needed it looks heavy and pointless? and whats it actualy do?
-
after having a look about i think the plan is to buy a agu and go for the qpeng kit then when i have some more cash go for a k04 and bigger injectors :)
-
Cheers mate I'll hopefully get it off today and have a look. I've pmed the previous owner asking about it. But if it is genuine it should be up for sale soon :)
-
Cheers mate the rest of the wiring in the car won't really matter as its a track car. Is qpeng the only standalone managment system as a grand for it seems very steep

hey everyone im going to be starting a 20vt conversion into my 1.8 kr 1990 corrado and i have a few questions. what happens with the fusebox in my corrado do i replace it with the mk4 golf one or do i just adapt the engine wiring loom to fit my current fusebox. what gearbox is best to be used. if i use the gearbox that comes with the agu will i need to change my driveshafts? also would the g60 mounts fit my car as ive read these are better than the 16v ones cheers
-
no the previous owner managed to buy the head and replaced the standard head with it aperantly so there would be no plaque
-
i belive the previous owner has fitted my 1.8 kr with a gti engineering head. but as im going down the 20vt route this will be for sale. i just want to know will there be any specific marking on the head if it is made by gti engineering? i just want to double check before i sell it.
-
i have done but as i said i only have 2 cables coming in that will fit onto there i belive i should have 4 or is it possible to jump the conections

got a red 16v in stirling also seen a blue vr6 storm at my work -
i was wondering if anyone could post a pic of the back of there fusebox if possible. my fuel pump has stoped priming and this is only happend since i removed the dashboard. i only have 2 power cables coming in from the engine bay a brown and red, and know matter how i configure them they will turn the car onto ignition but theres no fuel pump prime. i belive it has something to do with ports 30 30b y z1and z2
-
I need to wire a switch from my fuel pump to my dash for my track car. its the 16v kr basicly i was wondering if theres any diagrams on the net that shows me which is my 12v supply so i can run a switch of it.
-
cheers the old ones look pretty tatty though, so what would i need to buy to replace them obviously the injectors which i belive are these http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Corrado_1.8_1990/p/Car-Parts/Engine-Parts/Fuel-and-Engine-Management/Fuel-Injectors/?431440160&1&3b57bd163677f8d4245d3a0e42e64d44367a7cb9 then ill also need to buy the plastic sleeves and new o rings, i take it these are availible from the stealers. anyone got the part numbers id be needing?

pulled my inlet manifold of today as i have a 50mm one on its way for my 1990 1.8 16v. i noticed when i removed the lower half of the manifold that the orange plastic that the inectors sit on has cracked at 1 of them. so i thought i may aswell put new inectors in when i get my new manifold and was wondering if theres any uprated injectors that will offer better performance as its a track car. also how do i remove the plastic injector lining from the manifold?
-
possibly able to get a set of abf cams of someone at my work, was just wondering if they will be a worthwhile upgrade for my 1.8 16v which has a gasflowed head. i know they have a higher lift, im not worried about low end torque as the car isnt a daily driver
