VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

well i have some turbo ---- laying in my garage getting no use at all, like many other HMT fans do! lol and me and my buddy decided last night that we want to turbo his 1986 scirocco that is just sitting in his garage. its the 1.8l 8v. and i was just wondering if anyone on here has any info on turboing these? maybe even some pics of a set-up??? oh and BTW this is a budget build and i will update this thread regulary with pics/ progress!!!

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

isnt the motor the ford zetec, i know a couple of guys that have boosted corrados, not sure what engines tho.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

you think an 86 scirocco has a ztec???

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

well the zetec has been around for ages and i thought the corrodo used a version of it, so i assumed the siccoro used a version of the 1.8 zetec

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

wtf does vw have to do with zetec. Unless you mean 8v counterflow 1.8 liter mechanical fuel injected engine, then yeah, it's zetec.

corrado = g60 = counterflow with a supercharger.

thanx

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

k... anyways can someone give me some useful information?

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

megasquirt, mk2 digi multi point fuel injection manifold, stuff the turbo back there, have fun, blow the tranny.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

lol this is a budget build so im probably just going to use the FMU i have in my garage... so the trannys blow pretty easy? does anyone have any pics of a turbo set-up on an 8v ???

-thanks

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

$300 for MS would be a hell of a lot cheaper than replacing an engine because you useed a shitty ass FMU.

Just my $0.02 >:D

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

yes i realize this, but this is just a "project" that takes up space in his garage so if it blows up who gives a ----! lol

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

Just grab some fence post and your flux core welder and make it happen.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

i dont think an FMU will work on a CIS inj system.


and rawr is right, before you make it around the block the trans will ---- itself.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

just get a 16v and boost that, much better platform, other than that i got nothing...ive been trying to convince my buddy that put a built 16v in a 77 rabbit to boost forever and he wont...what a -----

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

---- 16v's , best thing to do with a rabbit is to sell it to some nerd who likes VW's and go buy a stripper with the money.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

agreed

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

i agree for the most part, they are fun cars with that motor though, i have another friend that put a built 1.8t into a caddy...(rabbit pickup) thats fun too....i used to be into vw's until i bought my acura 8 years ago and then realized that vw's are pieces of ---- for the most part

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

sorry for the newbness but what is a CIS inj system? i know its with the fuel injection b/c i was looking at it and it really confused me ??? ---- i really want to do this build! is there anyways i could use the fmu???

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

mechanical fuel injection.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

Lol. ;D

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

The topic reads: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help

Here's my Idea...Roll the VW off a cliff, and Buy/Boost a ------- Honda already.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

^^^ exactly what this fool said


---- a god damn scirocco its a bitch to spell and ----...keep it simple.... CRX

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

---- hondas

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

You cant use an FMU on it. The stock CIS system (if running up to spec) is good for ~170 hp. With parts picked from turbo Audis/Volvos you can get support to 220. You will need a different fuel distributor, vaccum retard canister, and warmup regulator (amongst the normal ex mani, bov, intercooler, piping, etc)... I dont remember exactly what is from what but its all on vwvortex.com (beware of the BBS rims) and it can all be had relatively cheap. I owned an 87 Jetta. I was going to turbo it. I only owned it for a month. Id find a better platform to work on even if its a junker. Good luck with the wiring and the best shift linkage ever designed.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

if you wanna stay VW at least get a digi or motronic car. CIS just makes everything difficult

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

why would vw have a ford engine ??? :1 :S

correct ;)

there you go :y

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

Yup, just retard the dizzy a few degrees and you're about as cheap as it gets.

Not on the HMT level... this thing is gonna ---- the trans pretty quick, no sense in wasting money on a newer VW that will require a more expensive tuning solution to ---- a tranmission.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

older corrados have vr6 180 hp

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

digi would probably be your only chance and it aint gonna be cheap for parts or tuning....and you still have that hole tranny thing

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

i think what everyone is saying is: sell the car and forget you ever had it. buy a rusty ef and boost it

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

if you want to boost something this^ is a good idea, if you want to keep the scirocco you could throw a built 16v with a 16v tranny and have fun!! although you will have to get the digifant setup as well, so you're looking at a lot of money right there!! how about throwin a vr6 or 1.8t in there, then at least you would get your moneys worth....but then you're back to the whole thing that vw's are crap and it will probably fall apart shortly, leak profusely, and still be worth nothing at all

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

I am not. It's his friend's car, I think his friend needs to boost it, and he gets some props for helping with the work and some fab time under his belt.

If it were his car, OTOH, I'd look out for a HMTer and tell him to sell it asap.

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

it's worth something now?? ::)

Re: VW scirocco project!!!! need some ideas / help
 

sorry i changed it for you
