PhatVR6 0 Posted November 11, 2003 Curborough was £15 on the national day, £25 last time. I think Kames was about £25 too. Bargain! best fun I've ever had in a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted November 11, 2003 I'm not far away (he says!) from finishing my corrado project. I'm using the IHI roller bearing turbo and cast manifold from Jabbasport with the Haltech EMS. Should be able to get 360bhp from this setup with the option to expand the bhp out to 400 at a later date. I too have converted it to 4x4 as 2wd would be a waste of time with 360bhp.

Storm 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Guys, How difficult is it to replace a G60 engine with a 20VT and retain the supercharger setup, wouldn't this be a cost effective way of introducing a new engine? LOL Just an idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted November 12, 2003 You mean a 20VT with a G-lader? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Awesome work on the floorpan there. ALthough, after doing a conversion myslef, I can't help but wonder why you cut out all the rear seat area too, when it's only the boot floor you need to change? any reason for that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted November 12, 2003 I suppose it was just easier to cut around the factory welds. Then place the new floorpan back in the same place. Allowed for better alignment and strength. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADDUB 0 Posted November 12, 2003 i will need it done have to look at it next year i think till then 350 BHP FWD all the way :x :x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted November 13, 2003 I duuno about better alignment, not when yo've cut out the rear cross member where the seat belts bolt in! that's why I left that bit in, no need to cut it out, then weld it back in (and swapping your corrado seat mounts over too :? you're just compromising the alignment of the shell and making uneccessary work for yourself. Oh well, it's all done now, and it looks GOOD! :D How for off being on the road in 4wd form is it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted November 13, 2003 The 4wd is done, the engine will be complete by christmas (I hope), a spot of paint and some wheels then the interior and we are there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Awesome, can't wait to see it. Are you going to be debuting it at a show? or a track or whatever? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted November 13, 2003 Not really, because I don't know when I'm going to have it done! I'd like to think I'd have it done by Gti Festival for a bit of 1/4 mile action! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
