[cogged setup for v9]

the ONLY way you can seize a rotrex charger is not keeping an eye on the self contained oil level, there are people out there that have done 50k plus with a rotrex charger with no trouble at all.

you can buy a kit to repair the rotrex chargers from R-TEC in holland, but they have to get all the parts together for you, as they don't stock the repair kit due to them not needing to sell them.

[vortech 12psi?]

i got 296bhp and 265lb at just 8psi with my V1.

[what to look for..?]

never heard of any box problems on corrado's, and leaking sunroofs?? never heard of that one either. i think someones been telling you porkies mate.

and as for reliability, i have had no major problems with mine, but they are not new cars so be ready to dive into the wallet, get onto the corrado forum as theres some bloody nice ones for sale on there at the moment.

[Rebuild or r32 swap?]

I seen a .:R32 corrado in stealth on Monday gone 25th getting work done on it

that was mine, did it have odd alloys and an odd interior in it??

[Rebuild or r32 swap?]

i did it myself.

[Rebuild or r32 swap?]

actually fitting an r32 into a vr6 is no more difficult than swapping a vr6 for a vr6 engine.

[Rebuild or r32 swap?]

10k for fitting an r32 engine, they must be bloody dreaming. Mines cost me approx 1.8k for engine, 6 branch, and ecu plus allowing for vinces payment for the re-map he's currently undertaking.

[cracked turbo maniold]

didn't realise David Blunkett was also into welding, or did he's blind dog do the welding for him that day

[OBD1 Ignition leads]

[R32 Engine Conversion]

yeh as kev said physically getting the engine in is the easy part, the really complex bit is the wiring, it was even harder for me being very very colour blind, i also used one of the 6 branch conversion manifolds that storm sell, but i went straight to there supplier and saved about £75.

heres a link to my thread on the corrao forum http://the-corrado.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=61633 the first few pages are boring, but it gets better??

[R32 Engine Conversion]

well i have just got mine working with the DTAP8 PRO, it sounds amazing still got loads to do with tidying the bay, attaching the downpipe up to the cat, and getting it properly mapped. as for cost?? you CAN do this conversion for approx £2.5k EASILLY, mines ended up costing me just short of £1.1k but i sold my old engine and the bits i had accumulated for the rotrex conversion for £2k so at the moment i'm £900 in pocket.
