What engine set up to go for ?

[Rhodri 0]

Hi guys i have recently bought a totally standrd 95 model 2.0 16v Corrado. It has done 58,000 miles. I am looking to get some more power. Where should i start ? I have tried looking for an induction kit but have had no luck so far. What is the best sounding Exhaust system and what manifolds can i get?

 

Nice one lads

Here we go again lol :roll: :lol:

 

Induction kits can be put on 16v's due to the fact that they run mechanical fuel system so best thing to get is a K&N airfiler and drill the airbox towards the front of it :D along with removing the snorkle

 

Xhuast there is Magnex Miltek and Scorpion that do off the shelf but listening to people comments here I would get in contact with John (16vg60) on the forum and order your exhuast as its excellent quality and very quiet. Otherwise custom builtone to your choice

 

Engine wise there a few things you can do depends on ur funds :D

Well i am looking to spend around £2500 - £3000 so what sort of engine setup would this get me ?

A VR6 lump :lol:

Yeah just put a VR6 engine in.

Seems a waste to buy a 16V and then spend £3K extra - could always sell the 16V and use the extra £3K to buy a VR6 or a G60 rather ?

Rhodri welcome to the forum - if your looking for serious power then you need a transplant..... then you can sell your 2.0 bottom end to me :D

depends how much power you want,, just dropping a vr6 in is not gonna help you that much, especially as most of the donor engines are such high mileage and these fragile units will require a rebiuld before fitting, sending your costs up,,

easiest mod to start with on a 2 litre 16v is to get some KR cams in there from a 1.8,, and as you say a new exhaust, maybe even a 4 branch manifold too, spend the rest of your money on handling and other performance related modifications,,

VR6 not much more powerful than a 2.0 16v? Mines done 126k and it pulls damn well :wink:

Turbocharge your 2.0 16v

Rhodri, i`d keep that car standard and spend the money on another car, it seems a shame to modify such a rare beauty... put some pics up mate

I will be putting some pics up in the next couple of weeks. It has got to got to the body shop first as the guy who i bought it off (a good freind of mine) scrtatched the front wing while reverse parking :x . And i want a couple of bits done to it aswell : M3 style clusters Front eyebrowse and some clear side repeaters.

 

How much are a set of those KR cams ? I should have said aswell that i am not spending all that money on the engine (cosmetics etc aswell)

 

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys

With your budget, how does 400whp sound?

yellow- did you get round to posting the oilcooler details?

[yellowslc 0]

No sir I did not.. work has me running around like a fool.. 7 projects to close out in 6 weeks.. guys lining up at the house for engine work on top of that.. I shall be shipping phat's kit to him the second another part arrives. He will be doing a UK based installation guide (to ensure that nothing over there is different than over here). I'm also working on a broader options list. Choice of -8 or -10 coolers/lines, etc etc..
