the EP3 is lame stateside lol. there wasn't a Type-R model. the best was an Si and it had the k20a3 engine..... blahhh. my RSX was a Type-S model and it was an absolute blast. i can't imagine what an RSX Type-R would be like. the USA doesn't get the R-badges.

that's why i asked. the add said corrado g60's but in the description it was saying turbocharger. can you mod/alter the mechanical valve for the supercharged engine?

lol i didn't mean the guys in this thread. i find info here and there and they will list a chassis code but not a model or trim level. i'm not fluent with the codes yet. that's good info! i'd like to stay with factory parts for reliability and cost reasons. i haven't bought any wheels for my car yet so i can choose around my brakes when i decide. i dont want to limit brake options

i saw this and was curious. its a wastegate by-pass regulator valve. http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Corrado--G60/ES122/

alrighy..... you guys and your incomplete description of parts is killing me lol. i cross referenced a few threads and it looks like the Audi Coupe Quattro non abs brake master cylinder is a direct swap into the Corrado and it's a 25.4 mm. people don't like to go that big unless they run big brake kits or dual piston calipers like the Girling 60. if you have abs, the Eurovan (not sure what that is) has the same 25.4 MC and is abs compatible.

this is some good info. just thought i'd post it up so people can find it. levels of brake upgrades http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3174905 different brake set up discussion http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?463629-Corrado-brake-upgrade r32 brake discussion http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?2892838-Corrado-Brake-Upgrades

i'll keep that in mind and do some more research on it.

thanks Dukest. good info. thanks everyone for not insulting me for asking. a HUGE difference from the Honda scene i came from. i guess my last question is, does anyone upgrade the brake master cylinder with something bigger? i did this on a friend's car and it made a pretty big difference in pedal feel.

i was planning on going to 5 lug. pete_griff, THANKS A LOT!!!!! that was the best and only good description i have read about this! i think i can get away with running 16's with the 312's. well i guess i'm looking for new corrado calipers then since one of mine went out..... if you guys don't get tooooo mad of me asking, out of curiosity..... since i need new front calipers anyway, is there a better/bigger caliper out there that will work with say a 288 or 312 rotor on the corrado? is this where the girling 60's come into play in brake upgrades?

i was misinformed on the caliper types. sorry about that. i'll do some more research. i think (could be wrong) that there's a 280mm, 288mm, and 312mm size rotors that people tend to use. whatever calipers go with them, i don't know but the calipers for the 288 and 312's are the same. as long as they can bolt on then that's fine with me. don't really care about the type..... pretty much just want to go bigger now. BTW- a front caliper locked up last night so my brakes need to addressed now. time to pull out the bike lol

i'm starting to see that the to get what i want i need to go with golf r32 calipers or aftermarket..... i figure the golf's would be more expensive than going aftermarket. i guess my next step is just upsizing rotors and calipers a little bit. i read the girling 60's are a good upgrade but i keep reading things like needing machine work. that kind of work isn't the most accessible through reputable shops around me. what options does that leave me with?

i actually just found that thread. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?38896-The-280mm-REAR-brake-thread i still have stock wheels and want to upgrade them. i plan to collect parts and put everything on all at once. ---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ---------- looking for front 2 piston caliper set up pros/cons

hey guys! i have a feeling my brakes will need an overhaul within the rear so i plan to upgrade. i would like to stay with factory parts simply for cost and for a factory look..... i like keeping my cars clean. i've read about running 312mm brakes on corrado's but these seem to be sliding calipers. i would like to run 2 piston factory calipers. i'm new here and i'm realizing that you can swap parts on these cars all day. i'm looking for a definite answer on where to find the right calipers and how to bolt them up. would i need to convert to a 5 lug? this isn't talked about much but can the rear brakes be upgraded also? PICTURES ARE MORE THAN WELCOME!!!!! let me see what you're running.

oops. forgot the cooling. i would also like an oil cooler and, still researching, a FMIC. it would have to be small..... very small. i don't want to cut up the bumper skin or supports. it seems anything would be better than the factory cooler in the wheel well though. i thought i saw a corrado somewhere running 9:1 compression. i'm not exactly sure why you couldn't run that in a g60 with moderate boost..... supra's and evo's can run north of 30lbs of boost at 10:1 and 9:5 compressions on pump gas. civic's can run north of 15lbs at 11:1..... is it just a poorly designed head or pistons in the G60?

i did a little bit of research on the charger. yeah it need rebuilding from time to time. i thought you were referring to the engine. i think the rsx is still known as an integra outside of the USA. i have some pics on my phone that i can try to post. i spent a bit of time searching for info on these g60's. you can pretty much go crazy with these things. i really don't want to open up the engine (unless it brakes) because i know i'll get in over my head and spend to much money. i think a modded intake box, exhaust, header, pulley, chip is as far as i will go on modifications. there's other small things like removing the charcoal canister, and removing the boost return..... are there any other things like this that can be done????? maybe on one of the charger rebuilds i'll look into porting it. if it brakes down the road i'd be interested in raising compression and a camshaft. maaaaybe a light PnP job.

i've had a CRX Si, ek sedan, and my baby that i just got rid of was an 05 Acura RSX TypeS. looking into getting an ef hatch to tinker with right now. i've always wanted an eg hatch or a Del Sol but the right opportunity hasn't come up yet. rebuilding "more" often? is the G60 unreliable? please explain..... ---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ---------- are these reputable? or can you recommend something like this? pulley, belt, chip kit http://www.corradoparts.com/G_Lader_Performance-68mm_Pulley_POWER_KIT_upgrade_for_G60_Supercharger.html

200hp sounds like a reasonable goal without going crazy. i've read little things hear and there about over spinning the supercharger with too small of a pulley. how many different sizes are there and what would you recommend size-wise and brand? i'm not looking to open up the engine for 4 reasons 1. $$$$$$$$$$$ 2. it's in great condition and i cant justify tearing it apart. 3. if i would ever need to tear it apart it's from going too crazy..... avoid crazy 4. i'd probably blow it up. my goals are more along the lines of preserving a classic than building the car. i just want to have a little more fun with the thing. ---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ---------- when picking intakes a always go with cold air kits, never with short ram. are there any write ups on how to modify the box like you say? when does an intercooler become needed? what size pulley? ---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ---------- need to get rid of the automatic belts on the USDM model. these things are a menace!!! stupid legislatures..... http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5534

hey guys! my names Nate and i'm looking into buying a low mileage and flawless Corrado G60!!!!! finding parts/info on these cars isn't as easy as i was hoping. i would like to get some healthy power numbers out of the engine without making it unreliable. i was planning on making a custom 2.5 inch exhaust. i am also looking for a an intake and header. Please let me know which brands offers the best parts!!! flywheel and clutch down the road. what is reputable out there???? down the road i would be interested in a pulley and supporting mods. i cant find a straight answer about rerouting a pipe or something to get better response. post some links because i know these have been asked about before! thanks guys! show the new guy a little love! do it for the Corrado too
