BMW VS MY CORRADO

[Henny 0]

too much! :lol:

 

I did the assembly work myself, but there's a good eight or nine thousand pounds gone into the various versions of this engine since I started messing with it in a big way... I reckon to build another one would cost somewhere in the region of £6000... (not including the original engine to work on or labour costs!)

 

In hindsight, I'd probably have gone with a VR6 and thrown the money at that instead to get some really silly BHP, but I'm very happy with what I now have, and have no regrets... 8)

*£6000 = approx $40,000,000 :lol:

Hey dinkus if you dont mind can you put an how to on the forum

No actually i need a how to bleed brakes and clutch on my VR6

 

Thanks

There's a guide in the Bentley manual and lots of threads on it on here (have a search).

 

Be careful though - most of us are Brits and the el-crappo ABS system on the US-spec cars works slightly differently and you need the ignition on for it to bleed properly.

 

I'm sure I've seen a how-to on http://www.vwvortex.com forums, but I break out in a rash whenever I go on there, so not gonna look the link up for you :lol:

This harmless question has become a big debate, should do this more often

 

As long as it don't turn into a maths-debate :shock:

 

Anyway, I'd say you'd have him really, I think Kev is saying they are slow for what the are..

I was under the impression that the 2.8 and 2.9 engines produce 174PS and 190PS (DIN horsepower), or 171.6bhp and 187.4bhp (SAE horsepower), resepectively.

Yes they do. But US VR6s 'only' got the 174bhp 2.8 (see page 1) :wink:

Yes indeedy, pferdesterke vs bhp. Din PS ratings from the manufacturer are near enough bhp ratings for bloke-in-pub type comparisons though.. :)

You're so presumptious Kevin! I have tried one mate. And 2 x 325's. All E46.

 

 

I meant try "it", as in race a 323i agains a VR6.

 

 

Blimey. Wrong side of bed yesterday fella? :)
