MF Auto Inc. Corrado Race Car with 2L TDI Swap

[razorride]

Some of you may know who MF Auto Inc is. Some may not. We are an Independent VW/Audi shop here in Knoxville, TN. We work in Service, Sales, New & Used Parts, and Performance. We are also TDI specialists. We have had a new project that has been underway for a short amount of time. This Corrado race car is not the typical race car as it has a 2.0L TDI swap. After running short on time before SOWO, we finally got a couple of minutes to get the CBEA common rail swap running in our Corrado race car. As far as we know, this is the first EDC 17 Immobilizer defeated swap in the world, with the help of C2 Motorsports. We will finish up by removing the existing MKVI interior and exterior fuse panels by wiring the CBEA harness into the CE2 panel used in the Corrado . Hope to have the car on the track at it’s first race next month.

What's the weight difference between the old/new engine?

That is extremely cool! My wife's Cup Edition TDI is great on the track with all it's torque. In that Corrado, you will kick butt!!! Great enduro car!!!

I met Matt at SoWo a couple of years ago... love his black GLi and that white Golf VR6 that they had built. Sooo nice.

I am not sure. I will try to get you numbers when I can.

I am not sure about kicking butt, but we are hoping to be competitive at some point especially in an enduro style race.

We have added additional cars to the show category since then. The new show vehicle Matt has now is the 1984 Grumman Olsen Kubvan. Yes, the fully polished one on air ride. Matt is a great guy to work with/for.

That actually looks like a lot of fun.

very cool!!

does anyone have any insight on the difference in the driving technique between petrol and diesel engined cars

[MikkiJayne]

Very nice work I haven't seen a CR / EDC17 swap anywhere yet, especially not in a Corrado That thing should go like a greasy weasel

What's the weight difference between the old/new engine?

Compared to the G60 (which I think this was?) probably a little heavier but not by much. Compared to the VR6 a lot lighter!

We appreciate the kind words everyone. We are hoping to see what this thing is capable of on the track really soon.
