Not a kill, More like research!
Okay guys my sister's fiance has a 1994 volkswagon corrado that is currently going through a motor swap. He has the 1.6l supercharged in it now. He is moving up to the G60 1.8l and upping the boost from the super. Now i have done some looking online and found out that those G60's with like 20psi boost only making 200 hp . Now he has good building experience with motors and is having like 4 racing guys build it for him. My question is I love how he talks so much **** about my ls1 being crap and being slow, I want to know does he have any chance in hell of beating me. Everytime I tried to race him before the motor swap his supercharger was fucked up or a rod was bent or some other ****. So I don't know how they run, I have ridden in it before and that little bitch is quick. Mostly due to the ******* weight them things are like paper on tires. Anyways even if he was running about 20 psi on this thing he still wouldn't really put up much of a fight except from a dig right? Just wondering because after he spent about 12 grand on this crap I wanna be able to kill it with no money spent. What you guys think?

just be careful... one of those motors done right can make some power.
I have seen many videos of VW's making killer power and destroying cars on the highway.
Just wait for MillaTK to come in here. He is the local VW expert

Anything can be built to be fast. He may even be able to make some power too, but I doubt his will be that fast(I could be wrong). But I kind of doubt you will have a big problem. At least not if you get a stall and a cam. Anyways, his car is probably a stick and felt quick driving around. My old Monte SS feels like a dog, just driving it around, and my buddies 94 stick stang felt stronger on the street. In a race, the SS would obliterate the stang. But it was a little more fun to just drive around.

i had a 93 slc corrado(vr6 not g60)
ill start off by sayin that charger is the worst design ever...the only way hes gonna be able to stay in taillight view of u is if he went turbo or a lysholm charger.....its crazy loud...u will know it when u hear it...it sounds like a fire truck on dope
also the only engines available was the 1.8l 8v g60 and the 2.8 vr6(europe got a 2.9)
id say he'll be at 350ish with a lysholm and good for mid 12's
but the turbos power is unlimited....the g60 came factory with parts ment for boost so stock it holds up pretty well..
