matt18t 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Hi I have been messing about with vw's for years and have just bought a Corrado as my next project. I have an R36 engine sat in my garage which I will convert to twin turbo but I need to know if its difficult to convert the corrado to 4wd. Any advice would be welcome. here is my mk1 golf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He built a 500bhp VRT with 4wd etc.... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted January 2, 2011 Sounds like a great project mate, please please keep us informed with a build thread :notworthy: This is no use for the 4wd side of things but is good for the R36 part- http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... 17&t=95513 Best of luck with it mate, looks like you know what you're doing, awesome! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt18t 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Yes its going to an interesting build and after doing a full stipdown including media blasting the mk1 I am hoping this will be a bit more straight forward. I will sort out a build thread as I am going to be taking the engine out of my 16v corrado next weekend and then the work begins. Cheers to everyone for the links and advice so far, my biggest worry is the 4wd as its not something I have any experience of. Does anyone know if the old S3 box will go onto the R36 housing as that may be the way to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Sounds very interesting but why twin over a single turbo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt18t 0 Posted January 2, 2011 to reduce the spool up time although I will be using K04s I can get them running without being on the limit so will have some realiability as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
