________________________________________________________________
Who would turn the opportunity to drive a 577bhp Golf R down on Cheshires B roads? I’m excited to see this car in the UK 2018 drag and track season.
The road map (pump fuel) creates 530bhp. I’ve personally seen this car on the dyno and do over 75 pulls in 1 night!
Full Car Mods at time of review:
✔️APR Engine including APR Connecting Rods, ARP 2000 rod bolts, APR Pistons APR Head Studs,
✔️Brog Warner EFR7163 Turbo matted to 3” APR Downpipe and Mid section, Scorpion back box
✔️ Intercooler, Induction Kit, Uprated Fuel System (APR low pressure fuel pump / high pressure fuel pump)
✔️Standard Pretoria Alloys with Uniroyal Rainsport 3 235/35/19 (excellent for grip in wet) and Standard Brakes.
This car also has DCC, however and I know since driving this car the brakes have been upgraded.

When you think about it, what an amazing engine. I mean even if you don't go for the custom build, the relatively inexpensive tune and opening the airways of a stage 11 give you a hell f a lot of bang for the buck.

Thanks for the video. Firstly, the camera work is simply stunning. The best by for from any of the car reviewers around the world, and there's some big names in that group Chris Harris, 5th Gear, TFLCar and the other Nth American guys) etc. I'm just wondering how the stage 3 setup compares in feel to the stock turbo as far as lag is concerned. Is it true that the EFR turbo spools up almost as quickly as the journal bearing stock turbo. The APR stage 3 would be interesting in a Passat W206 or Arteon. Also, I can't find the link to the Ecotune Crate engine video. Cheers from Australia.

Truly kind words. Xavier Geurgiou Photography and Film can take the credit for filming. He's a sound lad. Long way to go before any of those guys and more consistent reviews from me. The car is truly phenomenal. There is near no lag. This video explains how a twin scroll works: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip16h7WD0bmpiX0.html some of this guys videos are really good. The twin scroll differs from the stock turbo as its more punchy throughout the rev range. Not Just top end or just middle. The engine is an APR crate engine. 5 seconds from the end bottom left is all the info you need. Ecotune in Glasgow (Scotland UK) fitted this one.

Lamont Cranston exhaust, intake, intercooler, turbo pipe, hoses, suspension, brakes, roll bars, inlet...that’s before looking at the engine components. The question of built engine vs apr is down to how deep your pockets are. I’d personally pay for the warranty and security of accountability/ being looked after rather than trying to frankinstein an engine build with different components. For some it works, for the majority it doesn’t. I can only tell you what I’ve observed 👍🏾

Very nice :) my 2012 rs3 8p is at a tuners shop now, it's in for a stage 3... Hoping around 500-520hp and 450ish or a bit more torque

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

Tom Perry I have a soft spot for the 8p rs3. For me they are the equivalent escort rs cosworth (but I was too young to get a cosworth when they came out). Have you forged the engine?

@hotpman 6 жыл бұрын

Hi no the engine is good for up to 600hp on stock internals, however the new rs3 8v has a new all alloy block and hollowed crankshaft so I'm guessing that might not be as strong for high end tuning not that it's not already fast enough! Yes you don't see too many first gen rs3 cars mines only on 36000 miles.. I've ordered a stiffened rear anti roll bar and a new set of Oz hyper gt wheels the cars in silver

@hotpman 6 жыл бұрын

Oettinger do a built engine with 750hp and 664lbft so it's emerging just how well the 2.5tfsi engines are designed I must correct myself on the tuning capabilities of the newer engines, have you seen the video of the guys in a ttrs with a gtx turbo doing some highway data logging? That thing I believe is around the 700 +? Hp it pulls so savagely but I'll be more than happy with mine as a fast road car!

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

tom perry oettinger built a golf r with 2.5ltr rs3 engine out of an rs3 8p. That’s backwards to me when you consider that the 8p was tfsi and the 8v platform is mqb ( the same as the golf7). Different ecu’s but easier to make everything align although most bits have to be custom (I’ve looked into it) if your using an 8v. Above stage 2 some, I’ve heard of some rs3’s have suffered with cylinder/ valve failure but that could be said for any modified car tbf. Would love to get your car on my channel!

What would the rough cost be to get a Golf R to this stage of tune?

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

DanTheMancUK stage 1, 1k; stage 2 additional 2k; stage 3 additional 7k. Rough idea there. From stock to stage 3 would be 10k but you no longer would have a Hot hatch, you have a super hatch. It would be one hell of a jump, worth it but you’d miss the fun of stage 2 I think.

@DanTheManc1981 6 жыл бұрын

X1AOU The plan would be to go to stage 2 straight away and then stage 3 around 6 months later. My Cupra is the same EA888 engine but with a tuning box (my cars under warranty) so I could transfer my intake and what not to the Golf. I'm from Manchester so Awesome would be my local specialists which is why I'm thinking APR. Loving the channel by the way. I've watched 3 of your vids today.

Golf R na no thx anything 4pot thats a petrol esp all them engines in them or the GTI or the SEAT Cupra or Audi S3 have no sound of any power atall. The diff in that 400hp 5cyl in all the Audi's its like a performance petrol engine should sound. i bet by the time you buy your Golf R & then do this mod with that crate engine jaysus it would have been cheaper buying a RS3 ? and just remapping that to near enuff 500hp. each to there own i guess. In any case where on UK roads can you actually use all this power ??

@MrRonan3 6 жыл бұрын

I agree in one way but not in another.your right the 4 cylinder does not sound great. the Audi five cylinder does.I drive a mk7 golf R and it drives great on the road. it is not however a track car. but on the road it drives better than an RS3. but if i had the money i would own an RS3. price (the Audi costs over $100.000) in Australia.compare that to $60.000 for the R. the Golf is the bargain,

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

HamJumbo3 I think this is a valid argument you make, which is why I drove a stage 2 rs3, the s3 and even a 400bhp golf r to compare. The 5 pot sound is gorgeous, but the golf r is exceptional on the road. Doubt everyone will do the crate engine from my understanding it allows race fuel and 577bhp to be achieved - many will be happy with just the kit...plus in a few years time they’ll probably fall in price and there will be used ones about (2-3k I’m guessing) Everyone’s circumstances will be different as well - I remember when I bought my golf r, monthly payments were 850 for the rs3 compared to 495 for the golf. I bought knew, if I was buying used can pick up a golf r now for 18-22k. Throw 9k at it and you’ve got not just an rs3 beater but an rs6 beater! Hoarse for courses. It not just about the peak figures with this car, it’s the cars ability to do everything so well.

yes I'm into cars to mate" in last 6 year iv had evo 9 rs with 500bhp 370z nismo/ audi face lift rs5 v8"/new merc c63 s amg coupe"/ and iv a new bmw m4 comp pack at minute" Did have go in few Porsche cars but just did not give me that push in seat feel " no torq ! drove the new 400 bhp rs3 and that was ok"was thinking of selling my m4 and doing a golf r or rs3 with big tune! yes mate 0-60 in 3s is fast"" how much is the full stage 3 APR

jonny jones the prices are on www.goapr.co.uk but atleast 6-7k. I nearly bought an m5 before modding my car (lapis on my channel) and everyone says the m4 is miles better so not sure I would move from an m4 to golf r...I’d recommend getting yourself in one for a passenger ride or even drive. It’s not really a fair comparison though as the m4 unless mapped is going to feel under whelming to a fully tuned golf r. Other than water meth and stripping it not sure it could go any faster lol

Albert Zion it won’t: 1. It’s not my car to truely thrash, never going to take it that extra 10% incase I run out of talent. 2. We were on public roads, recording 😂 I mean come on, hardly going to do a 0-160mph - I value my license 3. The road test was supposed to show a different angle than just all out speed. I’m still learning how to be better at this... Thanks for checking the video out though 👍🏾

X1AOU Thanx bro...have u thought about changing your fueling to Iroz with flex fuel E85 capability with UM Software...Been seeing some big numbers with that combo... wasn't try to insult your whip APR just charges an arm and a leg for a build. And their Stage 3 systems have been a debacle for many...I like your vids!

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

SadisticPatrons the iroz kit looks just as good as the Apr kit but e85 fuel is not readily available in the uk. My cars the blue one (blue at the moment - sub for more info 🤙🏾). This black car is a friends car but I’m going the same route. I think a lot comes down to trust in your tuner. Awesome GTI/ APR uk have looked after my cars for 6 years and I’ve seen many horror stories from other tuners locally in the uk from friends. In an ideal world I’d have both kits haha but if anything goes wrong I know that the guys are Apr uk have my back so I’m sticking with Apr. The US is a different market and whilst I’ve followed APR USA’s woes not had any issues like seen in the US in the uk. Funny enough one of the reasons I started this channel was because I wasn’t seeing content like this available (in the uk atleast). Glad your enjoying it, got lots planned and at this point not trying to be a KZfaq star, just trying to help with my journey and experiences. 👍🏾

Don't get these. You only need so much power, then the rest of what makes a car fun is what it is like to drive. And with FWD, automatic and a weird weight distro, it seems kinda strange to invest so much to make more power in something that still sounds like a 4 banger too.

Take a 18 year old Honda with a f20c, just add a turbo kit leave the engine and you'll still make more than 530 bhp on pump fuel, granted some lag and not 4wd but it's this isn't that impressive.

AJ Irvo what ever floats your boat. Not sure i’d want to travel cross country in the car you recommend or how reliable but never say never. Would be good to review one!?

@andrewwright. 6 жыл бұрын

what would be the overall cost of this? Car+engine+built box+stage 3 clutch+driveshafts ect ect ect then there's the labor!!. Gonna be looking at near on 50k?

@x1aou 6 жыл бұрын

andrew wright 🤔 I’m not sure 50k is accurate. Engine 10k (even if your forge internals still 6-7k) Turbo kit 7k (near enough) No need for change of clutches or driveshafts although probably would want to consider handling and brake upgrades (4-5k) Add to that the stage 2 hardware intercooler and induction kit (1k) that’s 20k. Think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who wants to do this to a brand new car but on a low mileage 2015 car (20k) there aren’t many all weather cars that can deliver like this. Plenty of cars I would love to have if I had 40k too...but most people, me included, don’t. It’s done over time.

@andrewwright. 6 жыл бұрын

X1AOU you're going to do the labor yourself.... If not that what 2/3k then vat, clutch? Thats gonna cost. is why I said near on 50k not bang on. New car option and the money gets silly. If the box goes south after a year.... 2k rebuild cost, haldex cost...I don't want to think about that. 10/15k on an old s3 say 1999 plate...would be an interesting race but at a fraction of the cost. Could get air ride as well lol.
