Bargain Corrado VR6 engine

a remap will give you another 15!, add that to an induction kit and decent exhuast and larger throttle bodies, and you too can be pushing past the 200 limit. It's a whole new world in my Corrado, with these mods.

Would that fit into a Mk1??? lol

[AdamB]

it would, but it would handle like a boat without some major suspension work

Now that's an Idea - a Mk1 Golf VR6 boat...... Would need some serious welding done....!!!!

I am a bit tempted to get it supercharged and start pushing past the 250 limit! ?

Although at ?2,000 that will take some serious thought.

I think a remap is the first serious consideration.

I thought it used to be a 2.8 in the early years?

On the supercharger route - I enquired about this when I was at AmD, and they said that it doesnt work properly with a remap. I dont understand why not, but they are the experts.

supercharger probably takes all the figures out of mappable ranges... at least thats all i can think they might mean by it... in which case you need a standalone management or some kind of "piggyback" ECU .. very fast and furious

ok my bad.. doing too many things at once

not sure about the 2.8 'rado thing... i always thought it was just a 2.9 '6 in the 'rado.. BUT. i'm pretty sure it got both versions of the 16v engine. earlier ones have the 139 bhp 1.8 16v... and later ones have the 150 bhp 2.0 16v (ABF) as found in my mk3 valver ?
