Hoping to buy another corrado.

How come the horsepower and torque curves don't cross at 5252rpm?

 

* EDIT *

 

I see...torque in Nm. Duh.

Even though you have edited im still not following you.

 

Even with the measure of torque been in Nm its still crossing over each other.

Think i understand you now, you were looking at the 2 overlaid on page 1 :)

Test vids to see how they come out, it was only done on a poxy digi cam so no sound either, get some better 1's soon but im getting there.

was in this car at the weekend. only way to describe it - brutal! :lol: its bloody fast..... I dont know why more g60s arent turboed like this - certainly no g60s i know of would come close to challenging it. awesome car - was more than i expected - it needs pilots with big balls to drive it the way it demands LOL

dont be too worried about bits and bobs that you want to do to it mate - its a great car - and if you need some help doing some major stuff and i can do some of it ill give you a hand. cheers for meeting up and was good to have the curry :D

I do, it's called the 1.8T!!!! :lol:

I went out in it too, and I'd not even half consider a 1.8t after experiencing this...

What I meant was most people would start with a 1.8T rather than a G60 engine because of the crossflow 20v head, larger throttle body and the fact that it is a turbocharged engine to start with and cheaper to get more power out of it. A 1.8T on it's own, of course, would not come close to this!

 

You probably won't find too many engines putting this much power through a short ratio G60 box either which probably accounts for some of the brutality. :lol:

i do agree here - fitting longer ratios would definitely be worth doing. the car would feel a lot quicker again :)

Yeah you won't find too many people that haven't already been commited doing this sort of thing. :lol: :lol:

 

:offtopic1:

 

Just noticed your signature so what the new car putting out?

Well you could get yourself a new pair if you get that bloody flywheel off for me!!!! :lol:

cheers guys and ihave always said thats the only downside and has been for a long time. after driving yours leon i will be putting a full vr gearset in mine, dou know if its a standard box set ?

 

lm sure it was reading 70mphish in 2nd lol

yeah its a std set - you'll need to change the bell housing though - as the vr boxes are slightly different. sure a few people on here have done it though - samg60 being one i think

 

2nd gear is lovely :) and so is 3rd lol you should change them IMO

~300bhp 265lb/ft - enough to scare the passengers - credit to NickVR6 for doing the work.

as a passenger i would be as well def credit to nick its a well sorted car

Why would you go to all the bother of swapping VR ratios into your current box when a CTN box will give near identical 1,2 & 3 and stretched out 4 and 5 and give you more mph on long drives?????????????????????????????????????? :cuckoo:

SamG60 then had some problems with that box IIRC and fitted a CTN one!!! :?

Very impressive, Sorry to be a geek but is that at flywheel or at the wheel? Vortex or Rotrex?

[junkie 0]

i feel it would be better

 

can you do 1 of your chart things comparing the full vr sets not just the putting 1s n 2nd against the ctn please

[_leon_ 0]

at the wheels - VF9 stage2

 

The CTN would probably be a good choice for you - as you probably wont be in 5th much unless on the motorway or cruising. get a peloquin fitted too if funds allow

We've been here before haven't we?

[junkie 0]

cheers for that, i just dont know if 4th n 5th will be too long? i like it been brutal just need to lose a little of it

[CTWG60 0]

Yep we have definitely been here before............. :roll:

 

EDIT:

 

Mate you have 344lb/ft in a car that weighs a little over a tonne, they are not to tall!!!!!!!

Green line is torque/Black line is BHP

Simon_Corado dyno lines.JPG[/attachment:1lijb8ta]

 

But it is peaky torque and im sure somewhere along the lines you said it may not suit cars like that, correct me if im wrong?

[CTWG60 0]

Just take a look at the graphs and do a bit of homework. I think you're putting zero mental effort into figuring this out for yourself and at the end of the day, it's your decision. I don't think anyone is going to convince you that a decision you have already made is the wrong one.

 

Very peaky torque that can occur in alot of turbo engines would not suit this box.
