I wasnt meaning get rid of the supercharger and swap it for a turbo i meant can u run both? If u look up ''the worlds fastest lotus elise'' on utube ul see a video of wot i wud say wud be my dream car, one of the many i suppose, it was runnin both supercharger and turbo. If the crx turbo doesnt pan out il hav a bunch of turbo parts lyin there including a garret gt25rs plus an intercooler, pipe work and a standalone ecu plus other bits and bobs, im guessing that turbo wud b fine for a 2l but far too small for say a vr6 engine. Knowing all the swaps that some vw people have went through it should be simple but i have terrible luck

Well ive just got to a point were i need to make a decision cause i just cant wait much longer for my crx. Its a dohc non vtec motor which cause it had no vtec i thought il just put a turbo kit on little did i know it wud turn into an 18 month nightmare. Ive taken it to a different mechanic now and if he aint got it sorted within a month well then i may say f#*k that and just fit a bog standard sohc vtec engine in the crx i already hav the engine but that wud b a sin after all ive been through just to get to wer i am now plus the money ive spent. Then if i did just throw the sohc vtec engine in it i wud consider doin the corrado and id already hav alot of the stuff id need to turbo the corrado. The simplest thing wud b if i had ur auto bits just to swap the box over and keep the g60 engine, if there was issues i cud do the full swap and run ur 2l 8v engine and then use my leftover bits from the crx to turbo that. I looked up corrado turbo on utube and i saw 2l 8v motors turboed 2l 16v motors and plenty of vr6's bein turboed. I really liked the turbo vr6's puttin out over 400hp and converted to 4wd theyd give my 600hp nissan gtr a run for its money. Is it possible to turbo a g60 motor? Ive seen cars runnin both a supercharger and a turbo and they rocked. Wud there b much of a difference between a turboed 8v motor and a turboed 16v motor?

Sorry to hear about your father. Im also disabled hence why im looking an auto, im paralised from the chest down and my fingers dont work. Im running so many projects its hard to keep up at the minute my fleet stands at six vehicles all of which have to be autos and each one needs to be fitted with hand controls plus numerous other stuff depending on each vehicle. If i was to do a swap id have to be sure its gonna work cause i dont wanna get half way there to have to turn bak and then not even hav the parts to put it right cause ive swapped parts with you, id nred to get the parts from you try and do the swap and if all goes well then send you my parts. Im not 100 percent im gonna do the corrado il definitly hold on to it cause its gonna b my only towing vehicle. Ive finished my crx turbo build but im havin issue after issue if i can get it sorted soon i wont do the corrado but if it isnt running properly soon il abandon the turbo and just stick a standard sohc vtec engine in it and then do the corrado

Sorry to hear b

Could be a plan when u think ul have the engine and box?

Well they must exist cause it came off a purple g60, i wud have expected there to be more on the american market but yeah ive not come across another, lets say somebody found one what all parts wud i need that i dont have already

Good man whatever i do i dont wanna get half may through the swap and run into problems ive already been through a nightmare tryin to turbo my crx (dont ask me why) the cheapest and handiest way wud be to do an auto swap with the g60 motor especially as i already have the auto box and torque converter if only i cud find another g60 auto being broken somewhere even if its in germany or the usa so theres a quest for one of you, i have tried. I know theres specialist corrado breakers on ebay but no luck there. Can anyone tell me what all parts im missin apart from the box the converter the shifter the pedal box and the ecu. Is it even possible to get a low mileage vr6 engine and box these days?

Well there was another option i never mentioned above to give me my automatic wud be to do a vr6 engine swap as there where loads of auto vr6 out there, the problem i have with the g60 engine thats in the car is a manual and unfortunatly there doesnt seem to be any auto g60's out there for parts anywhere or at least i cudnt find any anyway and thats me looking worldwide, i did manage to find one being broken but all i cud get was the auto box and the torque converter, i already hav a standalone ecu leftover from the crx project, i can get the interior shifter and pedal box from an auto vr6 but what oher parts will i be missing. If im to go with the 1.8 turbo conversion i better speak to someone who knows exactly what il need again i see plenty of audi tt's for sale but they are nearly all manual but i do see auto boxes which are the right ones id need on ebay.

Hello folk i was on here a good long time ago saying that i had a 91 manual white corrado g60 but that i also had a 16v crx which i was going to turbo before id get round to doin the corrado. I also mentioned that i was in a wheelchair which means that i can only drive automatics. Anyway turboing the crx has turned into a year long struggle which seems to never end so ive had to finnay give up on turboin the non vtec motor that came in the car and instead of goin any further with that ive decided to just drop in a sohc vtec motor and either sell or keep all the turbo parts from the build that i can now the proceeds to start gettin the corrado sorted. Right so the corrado as it stands is just the way id hav it only it has to b minumum converted to an automatic. I hav two ways of doin that either fit all the standard parts needed to convert it to an auto or do an engine swap for an audi turbo engine and auto gearbox. The first option wud appeer to be the easiest but not from wot ive seen as auto g60's seem to b alot rarer than say the vr6 so tryin to find someone breakin a g60 auto seems nearly impossible. The second option i dont know much about is the audi turbo swap so please fill me in with the audi swap is it simple? Do i need to change engine mounts, i hav a garrett t25rs ball bearing turbo and a front mount intercooler from my crx if i was to use these on the audi engine alomg with the standalone engine managment system wot of hp wud i b running? Is that garret a good upgrade from the standard turbo used on the audi turbo engine? Il definitly b needing an auto pedal box and the interior shifter assecesmbly if anyone fancys donating any parts to get it goin any quicker just mail me. Thanks Jean luc

thanks guys for the advice, thanks fla for the offer but i think it has to be g60 parts. So what is a throttle body in german.lol. Im not in a panic to get these parts as the vw will be sitting a while until i have the crx auto conversion finished and even thats only just started, all this going on while workin on my buggy is keepin me busy.

BTCC rocks, i wish they held one of the rounds in my neck of the woods. Motorsport from 11 in the morning to 6 in the evening, thats hard to beat:)

Hello again folks, just in case you dont remember me im the guy doing the auto conversion on the g60 cause im in a wheel chair. Im still after an ecu and loom, can anyone tell me the part numbers for the ecu and loom on the auto g60? Also does anyone know the word for engine loom in german? If anyone knows where there is an auto g60 being broken please let me know.thanks

Yeah its a jdm sir with just a few mods, ive been told its really fast but i havnt even sat in it yet:) I know its quick because the previous owner left time slips in the door pocket, it ran a 13,8 quarter:smug: Im more of a crx nut, i used to own the white one in that photobucket album but after the accodent i thought id never drive a crx again soi had to sell her in parts which broke my heart. It was only because i was car shopping for my brother and a friend a few months ago which put me in the mood, buying a corrado was unexpected but at the money i got it for. Even if i get them converted to an auto i will still have to fit hand controls and a bleeper system. I think ive got enough to deal with for the minute but one day i might add a white supra to the flock:) Im not sure how much horsepower there is there but id guess crx. 170. focus. 100. corrado 170 so im guessing around 440 bho all together:)

Although im a dedicated crx owner ive always loved corrados. A mate of mine bought this a few months ago and everytime i drove past his house i couldnt help but admire it,by chance one night a couple of weeks ago i bumped into him coming out of tesco and i was asking him about it when he tells me its for sale, Sweet i thought and then he tells me hes only looking 1500quid for it. Holy god i had to have it this thing is mint with loads of history and just a few mods, its even in my favourite colour:) and because i was a mate he even gave it to me for 1400:) now thats a bargain. Its going to be a while before i get a drive tho as i am in a wheelchair and i can only drive automatics using hand controls, im fully aware that it might not be an easy conversion and buying an auto would definitly make more sense but at the price i got this and the fact that it was on my doorstep and even in my favourite colour i couldnt turn it down. I have already sourced most of the parts i think im gonna need and if it doesnt work out worst case scenario il always be able sell up without losing any money, lets hope that doesnt happen tho http://s1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh565/mrcrxvtec/?action=view&current=mymotors11.jpg http://s1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh565/mrcrxvtec/?action=view&current=mycorradog60.jpg

Been tryin to get all my motors in the one place so i could get some pics and vids and finally got round to it Smile http://s1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh565/mrcrxvtec/

go to the bank and get them to give you 810 in 5 pound notes and two 20s, stick one 20 either side of the fivers that way its a bigger wad of cash:)

to right rspecially at his age, my dads gettin old and i swear his drivins gettin worse by the day:o

No bother to this old boy:thumbleft:

cheers mate but thats the guy on ebay ive already been dealing with only he has no ecu or loom:( ive now soursed an ecu on here but still need the loom:( not many corrado g60 autos out there for breaking, least not that i can find anyway:(

ive sourced gearbox, gearbox ecu, driveshafts and torque converter from guy on ebay. Ive sourced the pedals and shifter on here but i still need need a full g60 auto ecu and loom then maybe i can get started:)

jeepers man im not even sure yet, il need gearlever and surround and pedals, what all you got?

As per title anyone breaking any model of auto corrado?

thanks mate:) yeah i saw that one on ebay so they do exist:) I kind of hoped that if there was one on ebay there might be a few about even on here. Yes i know buying an auto corrado would have been the easiest thing to do but this one was on my doorstep its white which is my favourite colour its mint and it was cheap. Im actually a honda man so know very little about volkswagons. Worst case scenario is this auto conversion doesnt work i can always sell up and get my money back, but if thats the case i just hope my crx auto conversion works cause i just bought a 91 crx sir and im converting that to auto too:)

Well peeps? i know no one will will probably have done this conversion before but can anyone see any problems i might face?

Hello folks im new on here looking some advice and some help:) Basically 3 years ago i had a nasty accident at work leaving me in a wheelchair:( I can still drive but now i can only drive automatics using hand controls, i have a ford focus as a daily driver but ive always loved corrados and i was chatting to a mate down tesco the other evenin where he tells me hes selling his mint white corrado g60 which ive been admireing for months and hes only lookin 1500 quid for it:) Problem is its a manual but at that price i couldnt resist so i bought it:) So where do i go from here? i need to convert it from manual to auto. what all parts do you reckon i will need?Im guessing i will need g60 auto box possible gearbox mount?(is auto gearbox mount different to manual?) possible driveshafts(are auto driveshafts different to the manual?) interior shifter and surround g60 auto ecu possible auto pedals can anyone tell me if they can think of anything else i might need and maybe help me source the parts.thanks
