CorradoVR6-n.o.s 0 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks for the replys Its not finished yet as im trying to save for a house so the Raddo is on hold :-( It is a GT35/40 R and i got the exhaust manifold off Tom off here Hoping to push out some big numbers once a few more things are done,got spare 2.8 block waiting to be bored out to a 3 litre and a spare box to be rebuilt with LSD of some sort. Loads more pics here http://s66.photobucket.com/albums/h278/Slapsider/GT35%2040R/Drain into the block for the turbo. Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Awesome. I take it you've flogged the charger? Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-n.o.s 0 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Yea,it just was not my cup of tea,loving the no noise of the charger and no more belt adjustment! Link to post Share on other sites
CorradoVR6-n.o.s 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well I removed the old FPR and fitted on the new Begi RRFPR and it rises properly not like the old one !It also had no pressure gauge so I took it off the old FPR and drilled and taped the Rail and fitted the gauge,looks and works well.Went for a drive,blew the fuel hose off on the side of the road as I used the stock VW spring clips were the rubber attaches to the plastic hose from the tank! Not good news when there is fuel everywhere and a hot turbo ! But I had a fire extinguisher ready at hand,sorted that problem and then set the boost to 11psi with this cheap manual boost controller that I found.At first I hit 15 psi and it went mental,set it to 11psi and started to enjoy the drive,the torque is savage compared to the charger :shock: ,I can see why they strip 3rd gear! Personally I cant see me running any more power until I 4wd this as it lights up the wheels so easy ! :twisted: So its using your right foot in moderation! I am in love! 8) Link to post Share on other sites

MagicIan 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ah ha! A friend of mine bought this car... I drove it back home for him, he had a broken ankle and collarbone from an accident in his previous vr6 so couldn't drive it himself! It really is quick, he has embarrassed many expensive cars with it...... He ran a 13.231 1/4 mile with a 0-60 of 4.90 at GTi international. hopeful to knock that down a bit with some bigger wheels back on the front, he ran with 15inch wheels so traction was a slight issue.... I believe both times were runner-up in the coupe class for the weekend at GTi international Link to post Share on other sites
rigs 0 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I suspect this car is now in Aylesbury as a green rado vr blasted past me at silly speed on the wendover bypass a short while ago Link to post Share on other sites
