yeah for like 80 grand

@@digitalscale76 wow

In Croatia we also have a guy named Jerko. Doing this regulary also.

Germans scare me

1. Do they swap GTIs for RS3 also? 2. What about GTI -> Plug-in hybrid GTE/Audi

👏 👏 👏

So people buy a rs3

Interior in the 7.5 R is better than the RS3

@@amirnaseer9860 You should see the interior in my GTI Clubsport. Was the first to have Alcantara steering wheel! Check car on my channel! 👍

@@amirnaseer9860 7.5R can't hold a candle to the RS3 interior. are you kidding me?

From my understanding, VW wants to but it's an Audi motor and they ain't letting them

7.5 😵‍💫 wtf engine is that like a super block american muscel?

@@nerijusramonas7520 The "Mk7.5" means his car is the refreshed version of the 7th generation of Golfs. Production runs of Golfs are denoted by their generation. Also, his engine is a turbocharged two liter (Gen 3 EA888 - third generation of the EA888 AKA EA888.3).

@@nerijusramonas7520 bro lol

@@jflemthewiz ah the EA888, AKA you'd see 888 x check engine lights in the first year. It's really a trash engine.

@@arunmfive just say you don’t know anything about these engines

They tried to make the Golf R fuel efficient. that's why it doesn't have a beast engine.

@@djbryson Keyword: Tried. I took a weekend long road trip with my mate, I was driving the MK7R and he was driving his M4 and I went through way more fuel than he did. It didn't make sense to me. I was blowing nearly half of my weeks wage just to fuel it.

@@shona5512 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. M4 is statistically way worse on gas. 24 MPG versus 30 MPG highway. Something ain't right there. You should be able to get like 350 miles (560 km) on a full tank if you go easy.

Tiny engine with tiny turbo sized for low end response. Makes sense. If it gets into any boost it just drinks fuel. Perhaps the biggest lie of turbo engines is the promise of better mpg

Audi said no

It would have eaten into RS3/TTRS sales significantly.

@@dantem306 solution is to detune the version they put in the R, keep the RS3 and TTRS higher in power #s. It could have also driven up price of the R which might be why it won't happen. Mid 40s is a lot of money for what at the end of the day is an economy hatchback.

@@Enzo187 I would have paid it. Would have saved me $15-20k. 😂

They almost had a Golf R with this motor. Called the R400. Naturally, Audi denied it, so they instead put a larger turbo on the EA888 to make 400HP, but then dieselgate happened.

well the car would've then been much more expensive

They do. They put a ton of work into making this swap possible and doing it right. 🙌🏻

Absolutely, also for me because North America doesn't get hatchback RS3's, this is the next best thing 🤣

other than literally every golf being the fastest car on earth (not really but seemingly every other golf has stage 3 runs deep 11s)

no way lol

how the fuck is GOLF R a sleeper? Everyone and their mother knows the stock Golf R does 0-60 in like 4.xx seconds. Pass me that shit you're smoking.

golf R isnt a sleeper lol

Hope you have a good 50 grand plus spare lol.

@@IKenexPSN I've got about 50p and half an eaten Mars bar 🤣

Seriously. Was supposed to be a family car. “Well that escalated quickly” 😂

Same lol

My gateway mod is always and intake and a tune, once I get that I start spiraling deeper and deeper into the mods lol I haven’t gone as far as rebuilding motors yet

Thank you dude 🙌🏻

It was in there once. It was called the rabbit. A weak and thirsty no turbo I5

@@easycomeeasygo8901 ive seen maybe one fast ones but that was it

@@BullittKid08 modified yes, they can make power. But the 170hp it came with was underwhelming and not very economical compared to other Eco cars. So not great acceleration and not great MPG compared to competition. Modified absolutely a beast. But isn't that the story for modified engines that's why we modify them. My wimpy 150hp 1.8t has gone to the gym... 490hp 😊. Big little man now, lol

@@easycomeeasygo8901 right there with you bro ❤ went from a Mk6 2.5 stage 1 IE tuning to a bone stock 1.8t Passat with just a catback now! But I gotta ask what you did to your 1.8 to get that much damn whp??😂 GOT DAMN like I thought most you could go was stage 3 and even then that’s only in the 330-375hp range

@@MegaMarkitos99 😊 i went " full retard ". Tropic Thunder movie if you haven't seen it, lol. When it was a 1.8 this is what I did. 3" exhaust out to bumper, big fmic, 040 pump, ie street cams, ie intake mani, valves and strings, drop in rods, spa exhaust mani, crap gen 1 journal precision 5558, UM tune 26 psi on 93 fuel. Thats it brother. It was not cheap. You'll need something else if you want cheaper, lol. Those numbers were mustang dyno. Now im 2.0, bigger turbo, bigger throttle body, everything else same with the exception of custom tune that I don't have yet, lol. Searching for 562chp or 450awhp at the minimum on 93. Its a daily, only 93 fuel. Really no special recipe. I think I'll have to make a Channel of some sort start posting some videos, lol. Maybe I could be the next KZfaqr🤣.

Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

Imagine comparing mods with other Golf R dudes. Yeah, i'm stage one. Yeah, I have an RS3 engine. Mic drop

Yeah but I'm sure it still throws a litany of ghost codes which will drive a service center crazy.

Thank you my freind! Hope all is well!

Was going to say the same!

They are, and they do! Be sure to check out their YT channel! 👍🏻

Thank you! ☺️🙏🏻

Happy mod’ing!

Haha I just watched those two videos today

Why not just buy a rs3?

@@goldar4846 If you know you know dude.

In Australia the people has not interested for this.. They like surfing 😂🇦🇺

Thanks man! 🙏🏻 @innovative deserve half the credit. 😁

What have u done to your golf shepherd man..Is it stock?

People have done the 2.5 swap fair sure one dude did it into a mk7 tsi

So many reasons why this can't be possible in Australia. The cost of cars is way too high here, parts and labour cost is way too high also, you are 100% better off just buying an RS3 or TTRS. There was someone in the Australian VW Golf page who owns a European performance garage and estimated the cost to be over $80,000AUD from start to finish.

Huh what? In the UK both the coupe and the hatchback are available for the RS3, you don’t get that in America?

@@AlexMcCabeW Yep, sedan only in the states.

@@wangshuokevin I mean it is the prettier car anyway

@@AlexMcCabeW no, we have never got the hatch.

That was my thinking which is why I swapped an RS3 into my R. I have RSR #1 being built at Innovative. Just a killer platform if u wanna make big HP. I plan on making 1100 whp + and give them super cars hell...... lol

Yes man. Pisses me off that there's no RS3 hatch here.

@@djbryson May be an unpopular opinion but I'm not a fan of the sedan. It's something about it that doesn't look as proportionate as the hatchback looks. Maybe they designed it as a hatchback first and cut the hatch to make it a sedan. They should've given the option. All that performance for the sedan whereas VW on the other hand would never give us a Jetta R over the beloved Golf 😂

nope, VW has their own 2.5 turbo FSI engine. Its VR6 2.5litre (6 cylinder), but VW puts this engine only in VW Teramont and Talagon. It should have Arteon R too, but they discontinued that idea shortly before release

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Check out Innovative’s web site in the next week or two…. I’m finishing up the touches on a complete redesign 👍🏻 www.imsperformance.com

I totally agree. If we got the hatch I would have just bought one of those.

@@Kevin_MK7RSR Bit more expensive, but agreed

Same as an owner of an mk6R, thi sis my dream swap.

They made me nervous too dude 😂. They perform pretty well once they have some heat in them. Cold... Not so much. 😬

For same money you can just a get a Pfl Rs3 and save yourself the headache!

Thank you sir 🙏🏻

❤

bad mileage, that's why it has a 4 cyl

@@djbryson probably, mk7 came shortly after dieselgate if i recall correctly.

Even though it basically gets the same mileage lol

Yeah the Golf R has a cold air intake from factory, why degrade?

🤣

pretty sure it's about going fast

@@djbryson haha exactly what I thought after I read his comment lol. Nobody should do a swap this extensive if you want to go slow lol

Added to the cost of the car you're looking $70k-$110k+ for what is a very fast Golf. That's insane imho.

I have RSR #1 being built there and yea its about $80k but I got CF, Magnesium wheels and stereo that adds another $40k lol. Should be finished sometime this summer. Gonna be wicked.

@@borderwave2 How did you count? if it's 30-80k and you get 110k, then the with 80k golf can only cost 30k. 30+30= 60k

What's the difference between the US 7.5R digital dash and euro spec one?

@@deezyb858 I'm not familiar with the US spec version as I live overseas. Could be the same if it is the virtual cockpit used in the Euro version.

Also curious

The 8J TTRS came with the option of the MQ-500 gearbox. It would be doable with enough work and an earlier engine like the CEPA or CZGB. Not sure if it would work with the DAZA/DWNA engine like is in this Golf. Besides the DQ-500 is better at handling more power/torque with minimal fuss.
