Guest sam1990rhodes Posted April 30, 2013 Morning, Can anyone share any knowledge on what radiator is best to put in a 20vt corrado swap. Ive done a lot of searching and have came up with suggesions of the G60 radiator, However have also seen the VR6 radiator mentioned for better cooling, others have stated the 1.8 16v fits perfectly. Can anyone advise what theyve found most suitable. Sam. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue95 0 Posted April 30, 2013 Used a golf rallye one in mine, which is same size as the VR6 AFAIK. Have seen people use G60 & 16V to. Keep in mind with the bigger rad you have extra space for an extra fan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sam1990rhodes Posted April 30, 2013 ok cool, do you know what the clearance is like behind/infront of the rad, my only convern with the vr6 rad is it either being too big/close to engine or FMIC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16vStyle 0 Posted April 30, 2013 I've used a VR6 Rad and a couple of 10" fans on my 1.8T Fit's in fine, there's plenty of space behind the radiator if you were using standard VR6 fans too.. Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest sam1990rhodes Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks simon you've been a great help. One other question on conversion engine space. The qpeng guide mentions a 't piece' for the oil pressure? Is this male fenale female? Or all male etc? Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted May 1, 2013 Mine ran fine with a 16v rad but I have thought about going bigger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrahamU 6 Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) The qpeng guide mentions a 't piece' for the oil pressure? Is this male fenale female? Or all male etc? Sam The 1.8t only has one oil pressure sensor but the Corrado dash needs two, you can fit the second 2 ways depending on if you also want the oil temp sensor 1- if you dont want oil temp sensor you can remove the cap head bolt in the top of the oil filter housing and fit the second pressure sensor in there 2- if you want oil temp sensor you will also need to buy one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LUPO-POLO-GOLF-GTI-TURBO-CORRADO-VR6-G60-16V-OIL-PRESSURE-GAUGE-ADAPTOR-MLR-IE-/121106087518?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item1c327c3e5e I beleive this is the T peice they are talking about Edited May 5, 2013 by rado20vT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
