Which Corrado Engine do you like best?

[soupie69uk 0]

Alright guys i just regestered and dont have a Corrado but am a big fan.

 

I was wondering which engine do you guys rate the best and why?

 

I quite like the G60's but how reliable are they now?

 

I wanted to put a poll on this topic but cant for some reason.

 

Cheers,

Paul.

Two words - can worms!

[gradeAfailure 0]

and the debate starts... :lol:

 

welcome to the forum mate - you'll find that the "G60 vs. VR6" debate happens on an almost weekly basis, so have a search and see what you find! Personally, I have a VR and love the lazy power of it - but then I've not actually been in a G... Don't write off the 2.0 16V either, as with the KR (1.8 16V) inlet cam fitted they make the same power as a standard G60... ;)

Yeah.. this is a can of worms and has been done to death but might as well let another one get going I guess!

 

At the end of the day everyone is different and the different engines can be good / favoured for different reasons...

 

* Valver engines are liked for their revviness and characteristics in the high revs, with the added bonus that they're generally very reliable and cheap to maintain

 

* G60 is favoured for its relatively inexpensive tuning options and torque, not to mention the distinctive G60 drone

 

* VR6 favoured for the soundtrack and the lazy effortless power of a nearly 3 litre engine!

 

* 8v engine.. the most inexpesive way to own a Corrado I guess! :)

 

I personally like the VR6 the most if only for the noise.. its sublime! :)

One picture (paints two words)

 

 

There's no definitive answer because opinion will always be divided on the subject. I like my VR6 because it's nice 'n smooth. It realy is down to personal preference though.

I like Vr6's

 

 

Mmmmmmm Vr6's

[Trig 0]

LOL - Walesy drove my VR today... :)

 

I like G's as well, once that charger spools up it's full steam ahead!

 

Yet to try a valver...

[Jim 2]

Yeah.. they sort of get you like that don't they! Whenever I meet up with 2cc he just sort of automatically hands over his keys to his VR to let me get my fix.. top man! :)

[Walesy 0]

They're just so much more refined, if you play around with a g60 you can get roughly the same power, i'd say there's not alot between my current G and Trigs Vr6, but the power delivery is so much more smooth, not to mention the late interior etc..

Oh right sorry guys dont wanna start any heated debates.

 

I do quite like forced induction engines as they get pretty good gains when tuned. Like my 1.8T A4.

 

I know what you mean by the VR6 engines though as my dad has a Mk4 golf with 2.8 engine. Is very smooth and sounds nice.

 

Cheers.

G60's rule even when you do blow them up they always come back better!!!

better than a 16v?

I struggle to think of a nicer sound than the VR.

Its my fave thing about my car.

 

Loved it since my old boy bought a VR in 95. Lush lush sound

The best Corrado engine: the one that's working properly ..

not a vr then ;)

[Kevin Bacon 5]

16V with a turbo on it for me....

[Walesy 0]

^^ :roll: just to be bloody different :lol:

 

Why would you rather a 16v turbo than a vr6 turbo?..or charged? :norty:

Power to weight and character ;-)

After all the money you've spent on your VR6? ..you'd rather have a 16v turbo ? ..shuuuuuurrrrup! :wink: ... I must admit , i've never been in a charged VR6 or a 16v turbo, but i'm fairly certain I know which i'd prefer - even though i'm sure a turbo'd valver would be great , a FI Vr6 must be out of this world.

[bcstudent 0]

I prefer the 1.8 16v over all of 'em due to the simplicity.

[GazzaG60 0]

if you dont wanna mod it get a VR6

if you do then get a G60

if you wanna mod it and be faster than both the above bang for buck term then get a valve.

 

ultimately the VR will make most power but 16vs have been known to make 700hp with 300-400hp fairly easy to acheive.. G60 or 8v whatever you wanna call it will make around 300-400hp but not with the G60 charger.
