"The Corraptor" - Corrado VRTurboSyncro

[corraptor_evo 0]

Well, foks, my dream comes true!

 

My Corrado was born like a G60 in 1989. Five years ago I kidnapped it (for a good price) from someone who didn't gave him enough attention. First step was some tuning at the engine: 68mm G-pulley, RS3 tuning chip, ISV block valve, overbored inlet manifold, raised fuel pressure, front mounted IC, polished and ported stage IV compressor, by-pass valve rerouting, RSII G-outlet. The car was very good… but not enough.

So, the second step was adapting a syncro system from a 91 Passat G60. Well, again, the car was very good good… but not enough.

So, the third step was to throw out (for a good price, of course) the G60 engine and to drop in a 2,8 VR6 engine (and a VR6 syncro system) and to rebuild it so resist for something nice… a Garrett! So, this is the list of all mods:

 

- engine is rebored to 3,0 litres,

- "Haltech E8" stand alone ECU,

- "Garrett" T60-1 turbo (A/R turbine=0,82; A/R compressor=0,70),

- "Wossner" forged pistons 8:1,

- "H"-4340 connecting rods,

- "ARP" headstuds, main studs and rod bolts,

- "Glyco" bearings,

- "Tial 50" BOV,

- "Tial” F 38 WG,

- "ATP2" turbo exhaust manifold,

- "Rennspott" short admision manifold,

- 3 inch inox welded pipes (matt black coated),

- "Samco" hoses,

- "Autobahn 88" intercooler (600x300x76),

- "Bosch" (044) fuel pump,

- "Delphi" 525 cmc injectors,

- "Schimmel Performance" highflow fuelrail,

- "SX" FPR,

- "SX" fuel filter,

- "NGK" race spark plug,

- "Racimex" 16 oil cooler,

- "Mocal" oil adapter with thermostat,

- "SPAL" double airfan,

- "BMC" air filter,

- 3 inch exhaust

 

Traction and wheelbase:

- SYNCRO (4x4) system from a 95'Golf VR6;

- "Sachs" clutch (Stage IV),

- "Schimmel Performance" flywheel (4,1 kg),

- "B M" short shifter.

- "Weitec" (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series);

- "MAM" MT2 8Jx17" / "BBS" RC - Motorsport Edition 8Jx17" wheels ;

- "Marangoni" Zeta Linea 205/40/17 84W / "Toyo" Proxes 205/40/17 84W tyres ;

- "SCC" spacers: 40mm front axle and 70mm rear axle;

- "Powerflex" bushes;

 

Body:

- custom bodykit;

- Solar Red paint;

- "In.Pro" (angel eyes) frontlight;

- "APP" - xenon (7000K - short beam);

- "In.Pro" front fogs & signals;

- "FK" Lexus black tailights;

- single wiper;

- "FK" "Spacelook" front seats;

- "VEMS" double digital gauge: EGT, A/FR (wide band);

- "Stack" gauges: boost, oil temp;

- "OMP" "Strada" 3/4 pts seatbelts;

- "OMP" "Fast" steering wheel;

- double sided exhausters (2,5 inch);

- shaved doors and hood;

 

ICE

- "Valor" ITS 701W all-in-one DVD head unit;

- "Pioneer" GT X 4300, 750W 2-way amplifier;

- "Pioneer" DT 6300F, 600W 4-way amplifier;

- "Pioneer" 203 D2, 2x400W RMS subwoofers.

- "Alpine", 4x200W RMS - 3 way speakers

 

Now, in that moment, while the engine is running for the first 1000 miles or 1700 km, the intermediate setups goes to 340 HP and 430 Nm at 5300 rpm. After several attempts (but not enough!) I reached 62 mph in 4,9 sec (with a friend and all the ICE in the car = 120 kilos’ – 265 pounds, and with 20 kilos’- 44 pounds - wheels - MAM). After that period (I believe I finalize it after a month) the final setups will go to some over 500 HP and over 600 Nm. Ups! Yes, I know, the syncro system doesn’t support powers over 350 HP (maybe something under 400 HP, if I’m lucky), but I’ll try to use a Haltech feature which can manage the engine power depending the gear set or the car velocity.

Well, in short, this is all about “The CORRAPTOR”.

Welcome along!

 

That's certainly a huge spec!! :cuckoo:

 

Got any nore pics of her? Engine bay?

 

Oh and your dog looks evil. :D

[corraptor_evo 0]

I will continue with some pictures...

[Leonard 0]

Thats some awesome work there fella!

 

Cannot wait to see the rest of it 8)

[corraptor_evo 0]

And another pics...

[aide 0]

another huugggggggeeeee power corrado :D great work

 

not sure what i like more - the car or dogs - maybe you could fabricate a toolkit trolley and get the dogs to drag it over when you need stuff :D

[Leonard 0]

I like the std looking manifold :grin:

[corraptor_evo 0]

And the last set of pics...

[corraptor_evo 0]

Thanks a lot guys!

Oh!... About the dogs (giant schnauzers)... well, I am obliged to admit that they have dealt with modifications. I just have the tools... (The chief is the old one with the white moustache :) - named Sheitan. The otherone is very young, is a "she", it's name is Kiwa and she is an ... entertainer :clap: )

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Good skills :salute:

 

Nice to see more VRTs out there :grin:

 

You speak better English than most English people!

[greasegriff 0]

Amazingly specced car made to look like your dogs dinner! That rear bumper's horrendous! Would look far better without all that trim IMO.

[herisites 0]

Great work!

 

Can't beat VRT's, well except for R32T's :clap:

 

Not a fan of the bodykit, but that's just my opinion.

 

Oh and second pic down of your last pics, the guy bending over the engine bay (not sure if it's you or not) looks just like David Walliams from Little Britain :lol:

[yeti 0]

lot of work in the underside of that beastie, not a fan of the look but i'm sure its a blast to drive!

[corraptor_evo 0]

aide, kevhaywire, thank you very much!

greasegriff, Well, nobody is perfect... oh, and my dog are eating only fresh and juicy steaks :norty: ... better and healthier than a lots of human... and they (my dogs) are very polite... not as many peoples :wave: .

herisites, I am "the guy who bended over the engine". I am very good looking, isn't it :lol: ?

About the bodykit... I made it 4 years ago. I liked it... then. But now, I'm sure it can be improved... at least :) .

Thanks a lot to all!

[The_Dude 0]

That is cool! Good work there fella, but yeah, not so sure about the bodykit.

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Do you think your intercooler would fit behind a standard bumper? Got any pictures of how it fits onto the car?

 

I like the look of it (and your short intake manifold!)

[aide 0]

bodykits aren't ormally my thing either, but your car can get away with it as its has the power to back it up, sometime you just can't beat a balls out big lairy motor :D

 

just noticed the side exits pipes, liking that touch too

[corraptor_evo 0]

The FMIC is mounted right on metallic part of the bumper. I don't now if it's fit on a standard one. I'll search some pictures for you.

 

... again about the bodykit... in the reality it's very good looking, but in the pictures it is in disadvantage... :sleeping:

[vornwend 0]

Amazing spec. How long did it all take you? Did you do all the work yourself?

 

I guess you must have some good roads to test its full potential in Romania or is this a track car :?

[Swompy 0]

Very nice car, looks like a lot of work has gone into that car.

 

 

nice dogs too

[CorradoVR6-Turbo 0]

Yay another VRT! :cheers: and AWD :wink:

[corraptor_evo 0]

Thank you ladds, you are very kind :D !

vornwend, between the moment I throw out the G60 engine and the first ride with turbo inside it tooks 13 months. You see, I have a job and this is not my hobby :) ! And among all some people are not sufficiently serious and I am reffering to some tuning shops where I supplied parts for my project. It was my work, in terms of the mechanics, but I paid someone for welding and for assembly for electronic parts and settings (Haltech)

Oh, about the roads in Romania... :censored: ... this is all :pukeright: what I can tell you :brickwall: ! ... And we don't have ANY track in Romania! All our governments (since the begining of the XX century, continuing with the present) believed this is a nonprofitable luxury... :gag: !

[Walesy 0]

Not just the roads, but the driving in Romania is insane! People seem to be on a death wish, some of the over-taking i've seen out there was unbelievable! :nuts:

[corraptor_evo 0]

Well, we all are a little insane :bad-words: :censored: :nuts: :salute: :pukeright: :brickwall: .... :lol: .

[corraptor_evo 0]

Something new:

THE DYNO!

The lower curves and values was at 0,8 bar and the upper at 1.0 bar.The values are ON THE WHEELS!

See the next post (mean the next try at 1,2 bar :grin: )
