Just picked up a 1990 G60

it has 130k, the supercharger was jsut rebuilt, lowered, exhaust, msd ignition, new battery, new paint, all for 2500. I'm thinking i got a deal

Nice one. I paid $4250 for a 1990, With 138,000 miles, bone stock, unrebuilt supercharger. And i thought i got a decent deal :banghead:
It was the cheapest at the time, and the only stock one (I wanted one that was babied its life.

Sounds like you scored. You should check out VWVortex.com (there is a huge corrado section, with lots of info.) I definately reccomend the vortex, always helped me out with problems

is there anyway I could get more than 200 hp from the g60? or would i be better off swapping in a new engine. and how hard would a 1.8t swap be compared to the vr6? Also, would the newer 6 speed trannies fit?

first i got my 1990 corrado with 100k bone stock with some blown rings for $500 1/5th of kbb price but you got a great deal if you got all those aftermarket parts and it runs nice. crap i gotta go i will add more next hour (I am at school)

ok im back now to answer the other post yes it is possible to get more than 200 horsepower with the stock g60 charger. the 16v conversion isn't easy or commonly done but www.bahnbrenner.com has info on all the parts you will need and a package for the harder ones to find. i've read that that with the stock g60 has 210 horsepower (no dynos to prove it though) i suggest to bore out the cylinders to a 2.0 liter.(compression/pistons might be an issue) bahn brenner also makes a dual screw compreessor that is the same size as the g60 which can add a ton of horses. try posting a whole new thread if you want some replies from other people
