Re: R32 + CORRADO = FAST (brilliantyellowg60)
HI
i made the passat syncro brakets work on the corrado only thing you have to do is drill one additional hole in the bracket for it to be able to screw onto your mk2/mk3 chasis
hope that helps
thanks

Re: R32 + CORRADO = FAST (94volkswagen)
UPDATE
rear subframe in and rotors are installed along with my wheels
TROUBLE < REAR DRIVER CONTROL ARM IS BENT>
the guy who i bought the beam adn control arms said it was straight but its bent real bad now i have to buy another one ,get it powdercoated and a bearign put in it i an really mad

Re: R32 + CORRADO = FAST (94volkswagen)
seems like youre hitting some bumps at this point, first the motor now the rear but it looks youre actually getting really close....keep it up for those of us who lack the cahones? to attempt a project like this... http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Haris:
Got questions if you don't mind answering 'em.
1) What did you use for the rear half shafts? Did you use the OEM R32 units or did you reuse the Syncro axles?
2) Are you reusing the Syncro prop shaft?
3) Did you have to shorten/alter any of the axle lengths, and where did you have this done?
4) Did you use R32 hubs in the rear?

Re: (leebro61)
those STIs aren't awd dynos...go check out some boxer forums...they are fw dynos...just like the eip R32...they were only dynoing the front wheels when they took their 600 odd hp dyno
and yes i think the 24v is the way to go these days...if you guys have actually talked to shimmel or anyone about 'THE tt-rwd corrado' as its been dubbed...they talk nothin but 700+hp numbers from that...and the possibilty for loads more w/ time

| I disagree. I have been told that there are STI's with stock motors making mid 500awhp. I don't see why a fully built r32 drivetrain couldn't do the same. What part of the setup (engine or haldex) couldn't produce 600+ 'wheel'? [btw what's going on buddy, long time no talk

Re: (white lightning)
Actually, I am fairly confident that they can and do do 500+. My brother fabricates the turbo kits for one of the more popular STI tuners

Besides, I don't really buy into the whole drivetrain loss numbers that people toss around.

If any one is interested , I have an R32 motor+transmission +wiring looms with basically everything you need for a swap. I will let go for 5000$, the only thing that it is currently in the country of lebanon and needs to be shipped out to the USA .on buyers expense.
Re: (coma)
This doesn't sound like one of those "I'll send you a check for $10k you cash it even though the sale was for $4k and then just give the rest to the shipper upon pick up" at all

Your definetly going to have to come up with a more reliable sale attempt then that

well, if anyone is interested I can make the sale through a letter of credit between banks. you can't get more reliable than that. here's how it works: http://www.bizhelp24.com/expor...shtml

Re: (leebro61)
mb there are a select few...but i doubt its something you find on an every day turbo setup...there isn't really anything to say about drivetrain loss...there is some...nothin more to say about it...i know its possible to get over 500awd...but highly unlikely...
i.e. dyno loss...
12v i've seen dynos as low as 155whp...modded
a4 1.8t (awd) seen chipped/intake/exhaust/dv...dyno only 133whp
mk4 1.8t (fwd) chipped/intake/exhaust/dv...190whp
and i've even seen dynos of an e46 m3 (supposed to be like 333hp)
- dyno'd at 263whp
real world power is a lot different then what you see from companies running race gas or all out race cars...things are possible just not from your run of the mill cars...some kid isn't gonna buy an sti and grab a turbo setup from 'turbos r us' and dyno 500awhp

Re: (white lightning)
I am failing to see the point in either of your last two posts. I threw up the original post that you quoted a long time ago, and it was just to illustrate that it was highly possible for Harris to make 600+. What, if anything, does Harris' custom fully built r32 swap have to do with an 'everyday' turbo setup.
First, let me start by saying that the dyno used and dyno 'conditions' can be nearly as big of a factor (if not bigger) than the number of wheels spinning the rollers.
That wasn't exactly what I was going for. I hear alot of AWD people toss around drivetrain numbers of 30% or higher. Suppose for a second that you were correct and all these "500 awhp cars" were really dynoing in FWD. Consider they made 500 fwhp with a 15% drivetrain loss, that is 588 engine horsepower. Now suppose with 588 engine horsepower turning all four wheels with a drivetrain loss of 30%, that means they are putting down 412 awhp. So that would infer that the AWD drivetrain absorbed 176 horsepower. I just can't see that happening. 1 hp = 746 watts, so that drivetrain would be taking in ~131,300 watts of energy. I can't imagine that ANY drivetrain would be able to injest that much energy and not melt.
My point is, I guess I am from the school of thought that drivetrain losses are not a constant percentage of horsepower. I don't believe these enormous losses that people claim. I think they 'want' large losses to feel like they are making huge horsepower at the crankshaft.
What is the difference between a company taking a car, adding 1xx octane, tuning the car to run on that fuel, and making big power... and a customer doing the same? It's not magic ya know

500+ whp is still impressive, but it is not black magic http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Hey guys enough with the pissing contest I believe Haris is doing this thread as a benefit on how to make an incredible corrado. Not for others to bicker about HP numbers that belong to subarus. So, if it isn't relevant to this thread please keep it out.
Thank You
