thats the one im not a fan of that body kit :( and i think the yellow alot brighter than normal :(

out of interest how many editions is there ? you have :- vr Storm's vr Campaign's g60 Jet's what else?

ok cool as for the campaigns wasnt it just 6 corrados given to a specific company here in the uk to trim out the leathers in that colour? hence why germans might have no heard of them? i think John M once told me

ah ok well hopefully pic up a copy tomorrow well done again :)

just looked on pvw site and looks like you won car of the year well done mate :)

Hello guys I know of a crashed VR6 highline and a mate wants to put everything into his 1.8 16v corrado is the entire subframe and croos member same as a corrado? i.e straight bolt on? thank you in advance

ah ok i alwys thought it was one yellow one after seeing pics of the gy that owned it putting it in a ditch but repaired it well there u have it its 6 learnt something new today are they all ugly yellow body kitted?

yeah should have never sold my 16v lump and i shouldnt be selling my corrado :cry:

oh and thanx :)

I could just kiss u lol ah how easy was that :D

ah Vince didnt not mention that can you just change the timing on the ECU if your reprograming it ? alos were the VR6 cam sensors? i thought it was just crank pick up?

Hello guys is it possible to declared a car SORN online? not planning to use the corrado & vento during Decemeber so want declare it SORN and i really dont want to go local postoffice near work always bloody busy so any how anyone know?

there is one corrado 16vg60 from factory yello ugly yello body kit not my thing as for two of them not sure

yeah you could make that but each engine different so you might make more or you might make less until uve got it in there u dont know Make sure u put a metal head gasket in there its a must :D

James totaly agree with you for the finish etc i dont think half of us on here can achieve that finish as you have, myself inclusive but thats the finish you choose so you can have the little things like the pump priming when you open the door personaly i think is OTT as Ive never not known a car not to start as the pump didnt prime for long enough and off course youll have the full Vag-com but Idont think the VAg com on the VR is that bad itself. I look like at this way, The one reason someone would put this engine in to their cars if they wanted a new more power version of what they have already. So if that means you can still use your original VR6 ECU loom etc (some work will be needed wires to what ever sensors etc but not alot) get the ECU fully mapped to your engine, so youll get the best power out of it and will work as well as before I dont see the point of changing all the loom etc I think its to much. I just look at it this way does it as simple as possible (without making more work than needed) but do it properly.

sadly no engine conversion is ever going to be easy :( everything has its down side sadly :( but going by what Ive read its meant to be worth it once its done :D good luck

actually correct myself u can even get less loss my friend corrected me over msn and he got 19%, race padel clutch (not springed), solid & semi/solid mounts (engine does not move at all) engine mounts, lsd and road slick tyres and all poly bushed up front for least movement

yeah those all will be wheel figures and yes ur right 26% sounds about right and very good actually as very little lose there also been know to have just over 30% loss (two caned engine mounts got to stop double clutching and oilly clutch on my behave due to a small leak) :( doh lol

nope U need to use the top half of the 24v lump and get the bottom half made up good excuse for a stainless steel jobies ;) and a good flex joint to mate up to the original system Also on the mount side Ive been told you cant mount it perfectly in there and even so it sits slightly wrong

oh ok so let me get this right youve manged to get out of a 16v tuners been trying for years (i started to plan my engine 6 1/2 years ago and built it 1 year after initial plans so know what was out there) Uve managed to over come the extra fueling probs but not only that youve managed to get same or more power than the engines mentioned here :- http://www.badger5.demon.co.uk/2001/testimonials.html including Kris Valdez 2.1 hing compresion race spec engine? also nearly same spec as the engines you qoute but running throttle bodies and they make less power than you :- http://www.racesolutions.com/gallery/pc ... ordova.htm http://www.racesolutions.com/gallery/pe ... strada.htm this one is running same power as your qouting :- http://www.racesolutions.com/gallery/pc ... illejo.htm and at a fraction of the cost these engine cost to build? can I know whats your average transmission loss? and whats ur actual figures at the wheels? dont mean to sound rude or anything but I honestly think youve hit it big if you managed all that at a fraction of the cost thats out there

out of interest have u added any piggy back systems? k-star or v-sam?

dr_mat yes it can be done but has to be the later VR coil pack as for the throttle body you just make up a bracket for the cable to sit and use a Vr throttle body i found this out asking Vince as he didnt see a prob mapping a VR ECU to a 24v oh and for the flap control he can get away with using a VTEC control

yeah the extra 1/4 inch makes a huge difference hence why germans like their Bustack exhaust systems loud but worth the power output

ok I agree with the point you need a good flowing exhaust no point doing the inlet if its only restricted by the exit hence why ive said to all 1.8 16v owner that asked me, to get rid of that down pipe and first silencer and get a 9A or G60 down pipe and cat by past pipe and u will notice a difference

flusted - your figures sound right to me but form what I understand here is that if you add a 9A bottom end to yours your going to make 40bhp Thats what I cant get round I can see 20bhp and loads of torque as thats what the 9A engine is built for but 40bhp im not convienced sorry
