Not knocking you or anything, but 500hp on a front wheel drive car??? add the air ride into the mix, and it's going to be a bear to drive.

so i put some thought into what you said combined with some comments from people at school and locals. my one question is....

Can I make it RWD without turning the motor longitudinal? if not i don't wanna do RWD and i know i don't wanna do AWD.

Now tell me, how would you do that? There was one guy who did a RWD build and it was a ton of fabrication, and yes, he mounted it longitudinally.

The only thing higher than your ride height is you ambition. I don't want to piss all over your parade...but some of the things you're talking about (500hp and/or rwd) are not easy things to put together.

[NoCYet]

Nothing is "Impossible"if you have $$$ and skill, but the only way I can think of to get transverse mounted RWD is to move the engine to the rear.

the 500 HP i have no doubt in my mind i can get. My friend here in lincoln has 480 right now on his mkii jetta and iv already done more work then he has.

i was thinking of using a R32 style transmission and disabling the the transmission/transfer case to the front wheels.

[CTCORRADOKID]

HA, thats too funny...there was just a thread on those wheels being on a Corrado...kinda look how I thought they would.


Either way....looks like you got a lot going on with it...good luck man...

You'd need the entire 4motion AWD system to make that work, then you'd have to permanently lock the front differential, and permanently lock, or remove the Haldex.
After all that you'd basically be two front CV shafts away from having the full AWD system, so that's a LOT of work, cash, and weight to get RWD.
Plus I have doubts that that setup would be sturdy enough for that sort of power all to the rear wheels.
But...
There's guys(and Girls) in here that know waaay more about this than me, maybe one of them will chime in.

okay well ill keep checkin and looking for other ideas. cause its not going together anytime soon. still got a ton of body work and engine work to do.


but i did get the rods back today and honed them.


bored the rest of the cylinders, just waiting on the Deck plate to do the finishing touches. then decking the block ever so slightly.

then pistons and rods mate. and she goes back together with a little bit of crank work.

[jettalvr41]

finished honing the block tonight. reconditioned the rods.

ordered
ARP rod bolts
OEM main bearings
OEM rod bearings
OEM main bearing thrust washers

next on list
ARP head studs
ARP main studs

and possibly billet main caps.
pics soon

Just to ask the question really, but why wouldn't you want to go AWD?

[DUBZAK]

NOT with VW Parts.

Wont work at all.

It wouldn't, if there was a way.

You asked, so I helped. I think.

he needs this. does not haz.

[jettalvr41]

i dont want all wheel drive cause its no fun. my other car is a 2.0 with a automatic i want something i can do burnouts in and just have fun. awd is alot of maintance with high horsepower also.

[badtaste]

well good luck, you're gonna need it, if you seriously just wanna do burn outs with rwd just buy a damn mustang or something

[My_Gli_Is_so_Fly]

[dri0514]

wow it's coming out really good! Keep up the pics update. Lol

[.spindat.]

^ haha

DO reverse to firsts in the jetta, they are sick, and you tires will squeel for a second!...

[wed3k]

hate to be a douche but with 15 degree cylinders like that, you should have shimmed the block when you were honing it. But it's done now...

[jettalvr41]

by shimmed the block do you mean used a deck plate? cause I did. I honed the most I could to the point with out it. put the deck plate on torqued it and honed the final crosshatch in. with all the time and parts im throwing at this motor it should be more then capable of reachin my goals and doing it reliably.

and to the mustang comment. thats for your constructive comments. I don't want it sorely for burn outs, or even racing at all. I just want the feel of a RWD car. I'v had FWD my entire life and I don't want the douche bag title that comes with a LS1 or a mustang. I guess its my fault for wanting a fun car.


anyways I'v been doing my research on mega squirt and that is the route i have chosen to go. now its just lining up all the parts and talking to the right people to help me achieve that goal.


sorry if I have offended anyone by my rash comments and particle way of doing things. I just don't want another standard AWD corrado.

[wed3k]

no, not a torque plate but shimm the oil pan rail to compensate for the 15 degrees. the head likes to go up and down, not at 15 degree angles. you'll wear stones and shoes unevenly.

[cstanley19]

I just don't want another standard AWD corrado.

I am not a genius by any stretch, but I think this is what they call an oximoron.... There is some serious work involved with an awd build which is why there are only handful of awd Corrado's out there.

idk maybe you used a different machine. i had my motor mounted in the sunnen honing machine at a 15* angle so the hone went directly up and down.

yeah i understand that i built my mkiv pretty much from a crumpled mess. i guess ill stick with my FWD

is that what that c clamp is for? if so, thats genius

[dasbeast3.0]

This build is confusing..just set a goal and build the damn car already .

[jettalvr41]

is that what that c clamp is for? if so, thats genius

yes sir! i can get more pics if you wanna see more of how its being done/ plus the hone has a CV on it so it can adjust. its a Sunnen CV 616.

This build is confusing..just set a goal and build the damn car already .

lol its not easy. i jumped around alot on my mkiv too.


update for today...

today i ordered
head studs (ARP) 184.95
Main stud (ARP) 114.95
C2 stock compression multilayer steel head gasket 159.00

total after shipping being around 458 something

next on list is cams and oil pan then she will be literally ready to bolt together again.

[jettalvr41]

out of the hoing machine! Into the decking machine





more updates after class tonight

[jettalvr41]

a bunch of random photos off my camera.

during polishing


after polishing


after all cylinders honed and brushed

during brushing




new wiscos



and before polishing

[jettalvr41]

decked the block .006"
polished the crank
honed the little end of rods to fit new wrist pins

[dri0514]

wow!! looks good!!!

[Toffeerado]

i dont want all wheel drive cause its no fun.

Yeah Porsches,WRX STI,RALLY cars skylines, lambos are boring to drive. If your talking 500 hp 500hp all wheel drive is fun, you obviously don't know what 500hp all wheel drive is capable of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUL6jFvCk8A do all the burnout's you want

no i didn't mean to sound ignorant when i said that lol i realize all of those would be a blast. lol I just feel like having a RWD corrado would be a blast.

that video of the audi was very convincing though. all get more serious about drive train after the engine is assembled. there could be a chance of AWD. nothings 100%
