mikkijayne 0 Posted August 18, 2010 Unfortunately not :( Life and motorsports have been thoroughly getting in the way, and I had to take the web site down because people were copying my ideas. I'll hopefully get back on it in a couple of months. Thanks for the interest :cat: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 18, 2010 I can't believe how well that V8 sits in the Corrado engine bay. Looks like it was made for the car! It may only be 230hp (are you sure, for a 3.7 litre?) but it'll have shed loads more torque than a VR6 and will sound immense 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 18, 2010 Blimey! I'm sure there's some more ponies tucked away in there somewhere, waiting to be released into the paddock! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikkijayne 0 Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah the 3.7 is a bit weak - torque is only 230 as well. It was deliberately detuned to differentiate the 4.2, but with 4.2 cams in it apparently gets a bit more interesting, and I'll probably get it remapped too. If its too slow then I can always throw a 4.2 in there instead. Or stick a blower on :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 20, 2010 Like you say, once the ground work is done, you can probably quite easily drop RS4's V8 into it if you're wanting more oomph! :D But a twin turbo V8 Corrado is probably an attraction people would queue up and pay to see :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big ben 10 Posted August 20, 2010 i would pay to have a go :norty: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted August 23, 2010 oh my word... I'd been thinking about the posibility of doing a V8 S4 conversion to a Corrado for a while now after seeing a site where a guy is sticking one in the back of a Porsche 356! I'd wanna go 4x4 though, so I'll be looking at your site closely... :) Great work! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
