Hello to everybody! I'm from Romania-Europe, I have a Corrado and I'm proud of it... This is it! CORRAPTOR: VW CORRADO VR6 TURBO SYNCRO My Corrado was born like a G60 in 1989. Five years ago I kidnapped it (for a good price) from someone who didn't gave him enough attention. First step was some tuning at the engine: 68mm G-pulley, RS3 tuning chip, ISV block valve, overbored inlet manifold, raised fuel pressure, front mounted IC, polished and ported stage IV compressor, by-pass valve rerouting, RSII G-outlet. The car was very good… but not enough. So, the second step was adapting an AWD SYNCRO system from a ‘91 Passat G60. Well, again, the car was very good good… but not enough. So, the third step was to throw out (for a good price, of course) the G60 engine and to drop in a 2,8 VR6 engine (and a VR6 syncro system) and to rebuild it so resist for something nice… a Garrett! So, this is the list of all mods:
- engine is rebored to 3,0 litres, - "Haltech E8" stand alone ECU, - "Garrett" T60-1 turbo (A/R turbine=0,82; A/R compressor=0,70), - "Wossner" forged pistons 8:1, - "H"-4340 connecting rods, - "ARP" headstuds, main studs and rod bolts, - "Glyco" bearings, - "Tial 50" BOV, - "Tial” F 38 WG, - "ATP2" turbo exhaust manifold, - "HGP"-clone short intake manifold, - 3 inch inox welded air pipes (matt black coated), - "Samco" hoses, - "Autobahn 88" intercooler (600x300x76), - "Bosch" (044) fuel pump, - "Delphi" 525 cmc injectors, - "Schimmel Performance" highflow fuelrail, - "SX" FPR, - "SX" fuel filter, - "NGK" race spark plug, - "Racimex" 16 oil cooler, - "Mocal" oil adapter with thermostat, - "SPAL" double airfan, - "BMC" air filter, - "SRZ" oil catch-can tank, - 3 inch double sided exhaust
Traction and wheelbase: - SYNCRO (4x4) system from a 95'Golf VR6; - "Sachs" clutch (Stage IV), - "Schimmel Performance" flywheel (4,1 kg), - "B M" short shifter. - "Weitec" (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series); - "MAM" MT2 8Jx17" and "BBS" RC - Motorsport Edition 8Jx17" wheels ; - "Marangoni" Zeta Linea 205/40/17 84W and "Toyo" Proxes 205/40/17 84W tyres ; - "SCC" spacers: 40mm front axle and 70mm rear axle; - "Powerflex" bushes;
Body: - custom bodykit; - Solar Red paint; - "In.Pro" (angel eyes) frontlight; - "APP" - xenon (7000K - short beam); - "In.Pro" front fogs & signals; - "FK" Lexus black tailights; - single wiper; - "FK" "Spacelook" front seats; - "VEMS" double digital gauge: EGT, A/FR (wide band); - "Stack" gauges: boost, oil temp; - "OMP" "Strada" 3/4 pts seatbelts; - "OMP" "Fast" steering wheel; - double sided exhausters (2,5 inch); - shaved doors and hood;
ICE - "Valor" ITS 701W all-in-one DVD head unit; - "Pioneer" GT X 4300, 750W 2-way amplifier; - "Pioneer" DT 6300F, 600W 4-way amplifier; - "Pioneer" 203 D2, 2x400W RMS subwoofers. - "Alpine", 4x200W RMS - 3 way speakers
Now, with 1,2 bar boost, the car have 420 HP at cranck (360 HP @ Wheels) and 500 Nm (370 ft lbs) torque. Is a lot of power/torque for a syncro system! Usualy, this kind of AWD system doesn’t resist over 350 HP/400Nm, so I believe I’m a lucky guy (since now)! Can't upload photos and dyno sheets!
