  1. VR6 | Black | Suffolk Price: £7750 Description: VR6-Turbo | Black | Suffolk, United Kingdom Price: £7750 ONO Description: Almost a Classic. Absolutely beautiful Corrado. I've spent hundreds of hours and over 11K pounds in the past 7 years refining this beast. I'm ready to move on to another platform. Serious buyers please. 90% of the engine bay has been replaced with new or upgraded alternates. Engine was rebuilt at 99K miles. Listed below is the bulk of it: Borla 2.5" Cat-back Exhaust High Flow Catalytic Converter 5 pc. Polyurethane Motor Mounts Head Stud Kit, ARP Autotech 10lb Flywheel Spec Clutch Kit, Stage II+ (395 ft/lbs) Inconel Turbo Exhaust Manifold Timing Chain Kit, Dual Chain rebuilt w/upgraded tensioners Peloquin Planetary LSD Piston Ring Set, 81mm (Honed out cylinders by hand) Rod Bearing Set (OEM) Rod Bolt Set, Complete (Performance) Suspension Rebuild Kit w/ ZF Tie Rod (HD) Koni Sport Coilovers, adjustable Radiator (OEM) Slimline radiator fans Custom Stealth Racing Mapping Garrett GT35 Turbo w/3" Piping (2012) Tial Sport 38mm Waste Gate SSQ Blow Off Valve Profec B Spec II Boost Controller DDI Gauges with steel rings/DDI Reverse Lighting Kit (Red) Neuspeed Power Pulleys (set of 3) Intercooler Custom Piping re-done (2012) Optima Battery Deep Cycle Full Body Kit RS Style Neuspeed Spark 8mm Plug Wires Iridium Spark Plugs Samco Complete Coolant Hoses 30 lb Fuel Injectors Rear/Front Neuspeed anti-sway bars Oil Pressure/Boost Gauges O2 Wideband Sensor and AEM Gauge Grounding Kit 8.6:1 Compression Head Spacer 258 deg Turbo Cams Ported polished Throttle Body Shortrunner Intake Manifold Oil Cooler Kit Custom Speaker System and woofer boxes in fiberglass. Fuel/Air Gauge/Boost Gauge/Oil Press New HID Kit 6000K The only faults it has are a deteriorated sunroof liner which will bind the cloth if opened. The sunroof works perfectly but I just use the tilt for this reason. The rest is just wear and tear to the leather, small chips/couple of small rust spots. Must see to appreciate. Projects I'm still working on are drilling hole for oil pressure sensor (gauge), short shifter kit, and finishing my very unique woofer boxes..let me know and I'll send pics of that. Just needs to be sanded a bit more and vinyl cloth wrapped like my door speakers. The vechicle is located in Suffolk, United Kingdom. Call for more pics, details or viewing.
  2. I know it definitely fit over a Holset H1C. So that would T4...not sure what other turbos it fits. I know it doesn't fit a Garrett GT35
  3. Hi all, I have a few pieces here that might make somebody happy: This runner was blasted and painted. It's had a year's use and has some paint chipping now: 15 pounds Very nice turbo blanket. Barely used & won't fit my new turbo. They go for 70: Selling for 35 pounds Complete windshield washer set. Mounting points in good condition. Different model from my original ones so need to sell I think it is for G60: 20 pounds Custom Turbo Carbon Fiber Intake Manifold Cover. Really nice condition. Was the pride of my setup but my configuration changed and can't use it now: 25 pounds
  4. LOL.. Sorry guys been busy at work.. I hear you all.. it is quite the asking price. I've tried the new wife bit.. but was returned.. no refunds allowed ;-) LOL.. either way I told her I'd make an attempt at selling. I really don't want to take less than 10K pounds. I know there is no way I'll ever get what I put into it, but who knows, somebody out there might be interested. What are the best places to put it on? Gumtree? Autotrader? Hey, if I don't sell it.. at least I tried or so the story goes ;-) I'll post recent pics soon
  5. Hello All.. Quick update. I just want to put out a feeler on any interest in owning a Corrado Turbo. Unfortunately, my project car has exceeded my wife's patience and I've been told I need to find another hobby. As you can see I've invested much time and money into my baby. Since my post it has gone through a proper upgrade in turbo to a Garrett GT35, piping has been re-done, a ported/polished TB installed, quality oil cooler kit installed, slimline fans, and finally tuned. This work was done at Stealth Racing. They've tuned it and we are now looking at a 357 BHP Corrado-T! I'm still working on little side projects such as replacing my belt tensioner, upgrading my Hella Euro lights to HID, and finishing up my subwoofer project. I'm even getting emotional writing this bit..my stereo system is one-of-a-kind as the bass boxes were custom made by my friend; very unique indeed. I also have a short-shifter I never even installed. I'm posting this here first before I place it in auto-trader/gumtree etc. Of course everyone is wondering how much. PM me for more info. Please only serious inquiries. I'll answer all your questions and send pics. I have my tuning graph as well.
  6. Not sure. I bought it off someone on the forums and wasn't thinking. My Corrado is US spec and it's opposite. LOL :) It has not holes and in fairly decent shape.
  7. For Sale: Rain Gutter Protector in good condition: 10 pounds posted. SOLD!
  8. Ohh she's been on the road for a while now. The car is running rich at the moment, but it hasn't been tuned. The C2 chip is doing an ok job but I will be taking it to Stealth to get it fully tuned and find out how much HP I'm getting. Since the build I've rebuilt my suspension and installed Koni Coilovers, had a head spacer installed to lower it to 8.6:1 compression ratio, installed rear and front anti-sway bars, and got me a pair of E-code headlights.. I'll install HID kit soon. Here is a list of what I have done so far: Borla 2.5" Cat-back Exhaust High Flow Catalytic Converter 5 pc. Polyurethane Motor Mounts Head Stud Kit, ARP Autotech 10lb Flywheel Spec Clutch Kit, Stage II+ (395 ft/lbs) Inconel Turbo Exhaust Manifold Timing Chain Kit, Dual Chain rebuilt w/upgraded tensioners Peloquin Planetary LSD Piston Ring Set, 81mm (Honed out cylinders by hand) Rod Bearing Set (OEM) Rod Bolt Set, Complete (Performance) Suspension Rebuild Kit w/ ZF Tie Rod (HD) Koni Sport Coilovers Radiator (OEM) OBD1 Turbo Software C2 Motorsports Holset H1C Turbo (Rebuilt in 2010) Tial Sport 38mm Waste Gate SSQ Blow Off Valve Profec B Spec II Boost Controller Neuspeed Power Pulleys (set of 3) Intercooler Custom Piping re-done (2012) Optima Battery (Redtop) Full Body Kit RS Style Neuspeed Spark 8mm Plug Wires Iridium Spark Plugs Samco Complete Coolant Hoses 30 lb Fuel Injectors Rear/Front Neuspeed anti-sway bars Oil Pressure/Boost Gauges O2 Wideband Sensor and AEM Gauge Grounding Kit 8.6:1 Compression Head Spacer 258 deg Turbo Cams Slimline fans Ported polished Throttle Body Shortrunner Oil Cooler Kit I've probably forgotten some other stuff, but this is the bulk of the upgrades. I've got a ported polished TB on its way as well. And now I'm thinking of changing out my turbo to a Garrett GTX30.. but I'm not sure which runs best in a VR6. Any recommendations??
  9. Putting the engine back together...ARP bolts.. a must Now for the turbo and custom piping. Very important to heat proof your turbo and manifold and downpipe. Downpipe was a pain with its wicked twists. The Tranny back with new LSD installed. The clutch was crap so I installed a Spec Stage II+ and lightened flywheel. With the engine put back together we lowered her in nice and steady. If you notice closely, I painted the crack pipe gold and added clear coat of glitter... ahh yes the legendary Golden Crack Pipe of Antioch! Still had to get the intercooler fitted so cutting we went. And there you have it folks. I ran into some issues with my body kit coming in the post all cracked. Terrible company..never again as they never took calls and never got back to me. We fixed it ourselves. I'll post those pics later. As well as the specs for the car as it stands today.
  10. Yea, my buddy had quite the shop. Of course I added to his extensive collection of tools. My plans for the future after I get some piping reworked is to get the interior donen by MJ Interiors. ---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ---------- Ok.. CONTINUATION... So we continued to prep the block and head for sandblasting. [LOL] We had to fabricate our impromptu booths. Love it! It was a pain in the **** cause the beads weren't flowing with the weak compressor we had. It kept running out of pressure and we had to wait a bit.. but the beers in between made it all good ;-)We painted the block, manifold, tranny, and powdercoated intake manifold and valve cover. I was really impressed with the black wrinkle powercoat. The prepping for the powdercoat took some time.. had to tape everything precisely. It really is a kewl process using electrical charge and then an oven. But the Intake came out really awesome after we polished and powercoated.
  11. Yea, I think the white with beige gives the car a classy look. I got black with beige interior myself. I was thinking of trying somehting different like black with red pearl... that would be interesting :-)
  12. Hi all! I've been meaning to post my project. I'm still new to turbos and could probably use some advice. If you have any ideas or comments I'd love to hear them. So it all started with me wanting to fix my oil leak. The project took a few months of hard work. It's still not done as it needs to be tuned properly and I want to re-do the interior and finally paint it. I talked to my best friend Scott to guide me through as we figured the leak was coming from the rear main seal. Up to this point I just knew how to change oil, work a tuneup, and tires. Talk about FULL IMMERSION! Pulled the 92 Corrado SLC into my buddy's garage and began preparation. As we got talking more about the car, I asked him how hard it would be to Turbo it..him being engineering minded person he is was like "Sure, no problem" Little did I know what was involved [LOL] Took us a while but we got it out. We had all the tools we needed luckily. If we needed anything for a job I bought what was needed and donated it to the cause. Immediately we could see where the oil leak was coming from. Replaced the Rear and Front Seals. Looked over and replaced suspect hoses and replaced ALL seals. Started with the head. Yea as expected after 100K miles carbon was everywhere. I began prepping the block for painting, while my friend worked on getting the head cleaned and parts replaced. We installed new piston rings, followers, chains, tensioner, 268 deg turbo cams, gaskets, etc. Only thing didn't replace were the rods and pistons.. I still pray don't regret that. We did run into some issues like removing the ##$@! Crank Bolt. It took my 215lb friend with super leverage to get it off. Crazy!! Who's your Daddy!! We took the liberty to port match the exhaust side of the house. My buddy meanwhile continued with the head. After some creative thinking we got the followers off and finished cleaning up the stems My vision for the car was for it to be my daily driver and provide me with quick sprints when needed. Not designed to be a track car, originally I didn't lower the compression. Was limited to 8PSI but it had great everyday driving feel using the lower rev power of the VR engine and then kicking in the Turbo at higher revs. Since then I've installed a spacer to lower to 8.1:1 mostly to see what the differences were and to see what she can do. I'll post some more soon.. Getting tired of typing
