I wonder how much faster this rabbit GTI is with the Volkswagen corrado engine in it? I used to own a black with blue interior VW GTI 1984 model I sold it 1991 I owned it for almost 4 years the fantastic car. For some reason I always thought about getting another one but what this guy did to this car was pretty amazing. I'd like to see how fast it goes. If there's another video I'd like to see how it performs in that engine in it.
Good night, how much hp increases a 12-valve vr6 engine with the turbo that you installed to your mk1, could you support with the league or publication where you bought the turbo kit installed in your mk1, I would appreciate it since I am making a vr6 sawp on my mk1. Greetings from Chiapas, Mexico.
Just seeing this for the first time. Sweet ride! I have an 80 Scirocco and was planning on a vr6 swap. Tons of work but the reward must just priceless!!
Reminds me of my old 1983 rabbit gti. She went from full interior to gutted with strut bars and neuspeed parts everywhere, lower suspension with ronal r8 and she looked hot.. Had the scricco seats that sat lower in the car. Man that thing was great times. Sucked in bay area traffic but find me and open twisty road and I'm gone. She was fun until she tried to burn me up ...hahah old gal great times.
I know it’s 3 years later, amazing work bud! Seriously considering this in my caddy as I can’t see anything else pulling it around that I’d be content with. If you don’t mind in regards to the built axles. What was the final compressed and extended length with the engine semi-centered from the passenger side? Fabbing the engine brackets and such are within my skillsets however balancing the axles as you did on a lathe isn’t, yet!
I used to own an '84 GTI with a motor out of a VW Corrado. It was the G60 Supercharged motor. Buddy of mine had a Corrado with the VR6 motor. Zero to 60 we would pretty much tie but the g60 would pull away when it hit 65 or 70. Loved driving both of them but definitely the GTI was my favorite VW ever!
My 1978 Rabbit C and my 1984 GTI taught me how to work on cars. You had better be able to turn a wrench if you want to own one. It made owning Japanese built Toyotas seem like a dream later on in life. How many late nights I had trying to get my Volkswagens ready to drive to work the next morning.. More than I can count. Fun cars when they are running right. I can't imagine what that VR6 would be like in that car. I am guessing insanely fun to drive.
good shit, you wanna do mine now!!
So it can be done. You save a pile of $$$. Inspiring, thanks
