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!!!

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

you think an 86 scirocco has a ztec

kamilk69

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

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.

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

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

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

Just my $0.02
