Such a 90s car with all the 90s accessories like the the seat belt pads, the a pillar gauges and a lot of the accessories in the engine bay and now a supercharger while everyone else goes turbo. Gosh, just love 90s and early 2000 cars and builds.
Much Corrado love!!! ❤ That build looks super clean 👌 But gotta love those electrical issues I have a twin charged Corrado on the 1.8 built engine. Broke down last summer and switched my focus to a different project for a bit (Volvo V70R) 😊
You are a brave soul! I had a friend build a twin charged Corrado using a Lysholm & an 8V turbo on the PG block, and an AWIC from a Celica Altrac. Ran strong... fortunately that Digifant system doesn't care too much about where the air is coming from, just what the intake charge temperature is, and that there are no vacuum leaks. Think he used the BBM modified ECU with the bigger MAP sensor to run higher boost. LOVE the turbo brick! I'm more a fan of the boxy 850R body style myself, but the V70R is a tremendous car with more timeless lines, and I've always wanted to get a turbo brick with the intention of putting a ton of IPD go-fast goodies on it and having a really fast dad-wagon. Is yours the AWD version?
RUF does use this charger for their builds. It's made by Zurich Engineering, aka Z-Engineering, sold in the USA by VF Engineering a long time ago. VF currently uses Vortech superchargers for their setups.
I'll film a driving review video this coming week... I broke my camera mount shoe while at Comic-Con Special Edition this past weekend, & I'm waiting for a replacement before I can film more. But... overall driving characteristics for the tune are very pleasing. Smooth idle, smooth power delivery, consistent air/fuel ratios. It's a big pulley for low pressure levels... only pushing 6psi peak. Tune is for safe running, not big numbers. Going by old dyno numbers posted with similar builds (ported head, cams, 2.9 throttle body & intake manifold, exhaust) it should be around 250whp conservatively. I do have higher compression ratio than most builds, so maybe a little more. Feels very lively on throttle, reminds me of the R32. Z-Engineering supercharger is a lot quieter than a Vortech unit, so the main noise heard is the typical VR6 wookiee roar.
@@docwyte Autotech 264's. There are tunes out there for cams + boost. The main thing is most cams are designed for naturally aspirated performance, taking advantage of a lot of overlap for exhaust scavenging, and with too much overlap you loose boost pressure. The trade off is you can be more aggressive with the timing, and you do still make more power, but you're just not making as much boost as you would with cams that have less overlap duration.
Bigger fuel pressure regulator & software mapped specifically for this setup. Fuel pump & injectors are already good to support delivery at this level, though if I were trying to build a big power motor, I'd have to go with a bigger fuel pump, injectors, probably a rising rate regulator, and stand alone fuel management.
@@CliffjumperCars it’s a great build, I’m not interrogating you, I just haven’t met anyone before who has build something like this to ask questions. I really must get back to my build. The damn TT keeps taking up my time. But I did get the Vr6 running so that was a big win. I love the Vr6 sound

Thanks! Yes, I've tried to keep her as period correct as possible.

What supercharger is this? Ruf?

How's the tune? How much boost is it running? Obvious change in power?

@@CliffjumperCars what cams do you have? I'm running 268's and have heard I should go back to stock before I add boost

Your not cooling the charged air? Does that affect performance?
Ps well done 👍
Thanks! And yes - this is intentionally a low boost build. More for the cool factor of having a supercharged VR6 than for making big numbers.
your steering wheels is kinda of bent right, seems to be twisted when you're turning the wheels or could it be the cover?
It's the leather cover... the interior stitching needs to be redone, the center seams are separating, it looks wonky because of that.
How do you get the extra fuel in? Did you have to add a chip to the ecu or upgrade the fuel pump, fuel pump pressure regulator etc ?

Nice build i have had a few vortech vr6s,im just building a rotrex charged vr6,not too much info on any supercharged setups about...
