mlyon89 0 Posted February 8, 2010 Arite guys/gals! I was wondering if anyone on here might be able to help with this one. I already have a corrado VR6 but i've had my Cupra Gti 8v for ages and am contemplating Vr6'ing it coz i've heard its not to hard a conversion. I was wondering if anyone knows the full ins and outs of whats needed to go through with the conversion like what drive shafts to use,convert it to 5 stud? Ecu? Loom? Engine mounts change full pump, keep it hydraulic clutch or swap so its cable?!? etc... It maybe seems like a silly idea considering i hav a perfectly all well and good running rado vr!lol! Dont worry though im not strippin my rado of its V6 i'll be sourcing another engine/box etc when i decide to go ahead with it!loL! Cheers in advance for any replies!! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krishen 2 Posted February 13, 2010 This is almost like a little club. Ive got same 2 engines too :clap: Green 94 VR6 and Yellow 99 cupra although at the moment both seem to be for the weekend :cuckoo: Mylon89, have you searched on seatcupra.net/forums ?? There are a couple of guys that have gone down that route although they may have used the Golf VR6 engines and not corrado. Worth checking out though.

mlyon89 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Lol! It seems we do hav a group forming!lol! Well i have been on that site but it seems to be a tad vague. Im just needing a s**t list of whats needed. I'll easily use a golf VR6 engine but i'd rather drop the rado one in being that it has that extra bit of power to start off with! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
