So kinda wish I woulda documented this a tad better, but its been a mad rush to get it done so I don't have to drive my kids around in an 84 GTI any more. I have a 2007 c2 stg2 Turbo Rabbit, been boosted for about a year. Had the differential fail and punch through like the o2o usually does and did some research to find the most cost effective way to handle the situation. The o2j looked like a decent option on paper so I snagged one out of a wrecked 2004 1.8T New Beetle. I had been running a spec stg 2 clutch per c2 and NGP's recommendation however my pressure plate failed and my clutch started running hot shortly before the differential failure so I opted to use a southbend stg3 with single mass steel flywheel for the 1.8T/o2j saving 8lbs of rotational mass. Also picked up a Quaife LSD which is an off the shelf option on the o2j unlike the o4a. Due to time constraints I will be installing the LSD later when I take the car back down to build the bottom end of the engine. I installed the shifter from the o4a on to the o2j and used the factory linkage. I had to fabricate some adapter brackets out of aluminum to mount the linkage bracket to the transmission. The axles presented no issue using all of the rabbit parts and everything pretty much bolted together problem free except I've come to the realization one of the axle seals is leaking and needs replaced, waiting on that and 1 axle bolt and the car will be back on the road. Everything I've had the ability to test works perfectly aside from the leaking axle seal on the trans. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/IMG00058.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/IMG00056.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/IMG00056-1.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/1001091810.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/1007091900.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/1105090917.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/JohnCuePublik/1103091002.jpg

well the gti is probably a five lug, but im not positive, so your good there. technically any wheels can fit on any car with the proper lug holes. just other specs may need to be tweeked to make your wheels function as safely and efficiently as possible.

Hello to everybody! I'm from Romania-Europe, I have a Corrado and I'm proud of it... ;) This is it! CORRAPTOR: VW CORRADO VR6 TURBO SYNCRO My Corrado was born like a G60 in 1989. Five years ago I kidnapped it (for a good price) from someone who didn't gave him enough attention. First step was some tuning at the engine: 68mm G-pulley, RS3 tuning chip, ISV block valve, overbored inlet manifold, raised fuel pressure, front mounted IC, polished and ported stage IV compressor, by-pass valve rerouting, RSII G-outlet. The car was very good… but not enough. So, the second step was adapting an AWD SYNCRO system from a ‘91 Passat G60. Well, again, the car was very good good… but not enough. So, the third step was to throw out (for a good price, of course) the G60 engine and to drop in a 2,8 VR6 engine (and a VR6 syncro system) and to rebuild it so resist for something nice… a Garrett! So, this is the list of all mods: - engine is rebored to 3,0 litres, - "Haltech E8" stand alone ECU, - "Garrett" T60-1 turbo (A/R turbine=0,82; A/R compressor=0,70), - "Wossner" forged pistons 8:1, - "H"-4340 connecting rods, - "ARP" headstuds, main studs and rod bolts, - "Glyco" bearings, - "Tial 50" BOV, - "Tial” F 38 WG, - "ATP2" turbo exhaust manifold, - "HGP"-clone short intake manifold, - 3 inch inox welded air pipes (matt black coated), - "Samco" hoses, - "Autobahn 88" intercooler (600x300x76), - "Bosch" (044) fuel pump, - "Delphi" 525 cmc injectors, - "Schimmel Performance" highflow fuelrail, - "SX" FPR, - "SX" fuel filter, - "NGK" race spark plug, - "Racimex" 16 oil cooler, - "Mocal" oil adapter with thermostat, - "SPAL" double airfan, - "BMC" air filter, - "SRZ" oil catch-can tank, - 3 inch double sided exhaust Traction and wheelbase: - SYNCRO (4x4) system from a 95'Golf VR6; - "Sachs" clutch (Stage IV), - "Schimmel Performance" flywheel (4,1 kg), - "B M" short shifter. - "Weitec" (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series); - "MAM" MT2 8Jx17" and "BBS" RC - Motorsport Edition 8Jx17" wheels ; - "Marangoni" Zeta Linea 205/40/17 84W and "Toyo" Proxes 205/40/17 84W tyres ; - "SCC" spacers: 40mm front axle and 70mm rear axle; - "Powerflex" bushes; Body: - custom bodykit; - Solar Red paint; - "In.Pro" (angel eyes) frontlight; - "APP" - xenon (7000K - short beam); - "In.Pro" front fogs & signals; - "FK" Lexus black tailights; - single wiper; - "FK" "Spacelook" front seats; - "VEMS" double digital gauge: EGT, A/FR (wide band); - "Stack" gauges: boost, oil temp; - "OMP" "Strada" 3/4 pts seatbelts; - "OMP" "Fast" steering wheel; - double sided exhausters (2,5 inch); - shaved doors and hood; ICE - "Valor" ITS 701W all-in-one DVD head unit; - "Pioneer" GT X 4300, 750W 2-way amplifier; - "Pioneer" DT 6300F, 600W 4-way amplifier; - "Pioneer" 203 D2, 2x400W RMS subwoofers. - "Alpine", 4x200W RMS - 3 way speakers Now, with 1,2 bar boost, the car have 420 HP at cranck (360 HP @ Wheels) and 500 Nm (370 ft lbs) torque. Is a lot of power/torque for a syncro system! Usualy, this kind of AWD system doesn’t resist over 350 HP/400Nm, so I believe I’m a lucky guy (since now)! Can't upload photos and dyno sheets!

hello, I have tried looking all over the web about this subjuct like Bimmmerfest and other such forums, the common answer is "buy the new M5" and I would if I had the money, but I don't. Ok the car, I have a 1998 E39 BMW 528i, it was made in the sixth month, so if I am correct, I have the aluminum block and head. I am pushin close to 200 hp, and I want more. Idealy, I would like to boost it to 600hp, but that would involve too much other stuff (tranny, rear diff, ect.) so I would like to double my HP, I have the 4 speed auto and that tranny can handle over 400 hp. what would be the best way to go about this. I know how to do engine work, and had this engine apart, what is a safe preasure to push with only changing the piston rings and injectors. what would I need to do to hit 400hp, and not blow a head gasket or knock. I want to be able to run pump gas so 93 octane is the highest I can go. thanks for all the help for a turbo newb :cool:
