dom604 0 Posted March 29, 2016 Hi. Im new to the forum and have been building a corrado pd for the past couple of months. Its taken alot of time and money and atill isnt anywhere near finished in the way of looks. But its finally all running and on the road. It started life as a early h reg 1.8 16v. I was going to turbo it as i have a friend with the parts but i was also building a autograss car which was a polo 6n spaceframe with the pd engine. After along time of building the polo i got fed up with it and took the engine for the corrado. Its a pd 150 arl fitted with a firrad 80% injectors and a gtb2260 on stainless tubular manifold. Iv also made the car take 6 speed. Iv had it mapped by dirty torque. but as i have been building the car for so long my vnt was sticking slightly. So we mapped it to a safe 268.8bhp and will be going for more after i have done some miles to check its all ok. Ill try and sort some pics out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dox 23 Posted March 29, 2016 I'm very interested in this thread. I've owned a few PD diesels, how much use is 1st gear, I'd have thought with the reduced rolling radius of the typical Corrados 205 / 50 15s (compared to 195 65 15 MK4) would mean first would be redundant? Even more so with all that power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted March 29, 2016 Set off in second and go up to six , kinda defeats the six speed a bit but it doesent hurt my brain thinking that way haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 29, 2016 Like that! Looks more factory than mine does anyway... having a 6sp box in a Corrado is awesome :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
