I am trying to find out what is the best model corrado to go for to do this conversion can anybody help

has to be the 1.8 16v surely, if your changing the engine anyway you might aswell get the cheapest corrado, i think it's the simplest swop anyway?

IS there much differents between the 8v model

A 4 cylinder car. Whatever you can find with the best suspension, bodywork etc. The 8vs are rare, so it would be a shame to convert one.

i (well mainly my 2 mates with me helping) have done this conversion to my 2.016v on an M-reg.

 

We did hear that the wiring was more dificult on the 2.016v than the earlier 1.816v. This is mainly due to that enigne loom being intergrated into the other loom inside the engine bay, having said that, we have managed to get every thing working on the corrado dash as it should, with only visual alterations to make the wiring look pretty left to do.

 

Im sure if you did decide to do the 2.016v conversion, we would be able to point you in the right direction.

 

A good website and an awesome company is Qpeng, they talk the conversion through on a golf on there website. Oh and you can use the 2.016v gearbox too.

 

I would say in fairness allow more money than you think you will need, and try and stick to a known engine. I made the mistake of trusting some one about an engine and it cost me dearly.

not sure about the other models but the 1.8 has kjet so you dont need to mess around changing fuel pumps. does the 2.0 have kjet? if it dosent then you would be better off with a 1.8. but if you can get the car cheap enough then any of them will do.
