Hi guys,
I understand to see 'Corrado' in the subject heading is a bit unheard of, especially on a forum dedicated to Mk5 GTI's, but bear with me.
As I've already briefly mentioned in the newbie section, I drive a '92, what was a G60, but recently removed the engine with the intention of putting something a bit unique as a replacement. I considered all sorts of engines, S3, R32, supercharged VR6 and even an S4 V6 Bi-turbo, which I'm sad to say I didn't opt for due to the amount of modification required to get it to fit :surprised:. So I continued my search for something a little different and not so common, and you'll be pleased to know I decided on a 2.0 FSI BWA engine from a 2008 GTI. Having kept an eye on several FSI engines on eBay, I soon learned there value and what you expect to get thrown in as well. This engine though, was a bargain, the sale consisted of;
Engine
Gearbox
Running Gear
Clocks
ECU
Keys
Loom
Turbo
All for £900, and the engine has only done 10k!!!
I expect to take delivery this Saturday, so I'll post pictures up this weekend.
Mean while here are some pictures of the removal of the G60 engine.

I hope your not going to try and fit those wheels up against the wall as well. :confused: :wink:
Looks very interesting. :popcornsoda:

we may need more popcorn
for some reason bbs splits are running through my head :evilgrin:
-
sounds interesting....
Did you consider the 1.4TSI also? I bet that would be a nice transplant for something like this or a mk2
-
Cheers guys, it will certainly be an interesting yet challenging build. I must admit, I am starting to wonder why I haven't seen many other older VW's with this engine in :laugh:
-

I did briefly consider that but I wanted something with a little more substance. I have only ever seen the Mk5 GTI engine in a Mk2 and it looked awesome, it packed out very nicely :grin:. On that basis, it should fit in the Corrado bay.

BBS splits is a very good shout, sort of limited as the G60 is only 4 stud, but there are ways round that.

Was lifted out of a 58 plate GTI with 10k on the clock :happy2:
-
this is gonna be uber cool when it's finished, keep it up! :happy2:
-
Looks like a sweet build, corrado looks with fsi power :drool:
-
Looking forward to this. There's more mk2/rado's with 1.8 20vt than mk4 these days. Good to see someone try different.

One of my main reasons I thought i'd give the 2.0 FSI a go :smiley:
-
Now that will be a good little sleeper.
Looking forwards to this. :congrats:
-
how heavy is the corrado?
-
3 Door was around 1100kg
A good 300kg lighter than a vRS :surprised: :surprised:
Edit - I think i can see what your thinking Sy………. DO IT :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
-
thats insane. BWA engines can be picked up for about 1k and less now.
250Bhp+/ton power to weight with practically no lag
@ the OP.
how much custom work is required to fit this engine?
@ carl id love to, but i dont have the time for a project like this.
-
Seems a pretty good idea! Good luck!
-
should be nice

Picked up some new brakes a few weeks back, here are some pics;

Mocked up the engine this weekend. Went in with no dramas, which was good. Here's some pictures;
Stripped it down first.
