HI,
I've got a Corrado 1.8 16v and I'm looking for more power. The easiest option is to go out and buy a VR6 but I don't have £3000. I've decided to get a 2.0 16v block and start from there. Can anyone suggest any other performance upgrades I can do to the block while it's out to increase the power?

Chip it.......
port n polish....... gas flow, or what ever it is called..... re-map......
*think i have been playing gt4 to much

I don't think I can chip my car as its k-jet so I've been told.

ahh...im stumped. although someone will know what you can get done. try phoning AMD or another tuning company and they will be able to tell you what you can get done to the engine....

don't forget to lighten and balance....it's only 5bhp but hey. Oh yeah, and take all the seats out :grin:

get the inlet cam swapped for an exhaust one which has been machined to fit, get the warm up regilator mod carried out to set up your fuel pressure.... 4branch manifold 2.0l abf bottom end head work take some off the head to increase compression full stainless and get rid of the mega restrictive boxes they have on rados.... the list goes on!
for 500quid and a rolling road it could be pushing out some ponies though.

So a list of possible mods are :
Gas flowed head
Cams
Full stainless steel exhausts
port and polish
4 branch manifold
warm up regilator mods
2.0l abf bottom end bla bla bla

if u do the 2.0l and the full zorst inc 4branch, u dont need cams just a re-machined zorst cam to replace the inlet cam and a good setup filters etc and wur mod u should see 170+ bhp

sell your 16v engine and get a 1.8t 20v and stick that in.

I like the idea of a 1.8t engine but I don't know anyone that has done it.
