V33DUB 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Hi Guys, With quite a few build threads I've read having engine transplants, I was wondering what would be your dream engine to 'plonk' (technical me!) into your Corrado... money, time and skill aside? I've always loved the rallys and the Audi Quattro S1 so would love to put one of them in along with with 4WD. They sound eeeeeevil as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Joni 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Audi V8 twin turbo would be nice. Or are we talking engines that would actually fit under the bonnet? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-Pete 0 Posted October 1, 2009 W12 quad turbo, mid mounted obviously. :D If were talking under the bonnet then I guess I'll just have buy a bigger shoe horn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdul 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Id be happy with a v8 of some sort, a small one probably if its going up front. If we're talking mid engined dreams then it has to be a 6.2 amg v8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flexso 0 Posted October 1, 2009 A 8 cylinder version of a subaru sti engine!!!!!! Yes I did just make that up in my head. One that currently exsist would be a W12 engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henny 0 Posted October 2, 2009 I've always fancied a working version of the Ford based supercharged engine out of Mad Max's interceptor (from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior) in a Corrado... :D :cuckoo: Of course, you'd have to make it RWD and really mess about with the 'rado to make it any good, but how evil would that look? :grin: :norty: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
