Audi RS3 Engine Swap on a VW GOLF R - DAZA SWAP!

[@HumbleMechanic]

BEST guess as to what the heck happened @25:15?????

[@HRDesigns]

You snap a bolt??

[@orange2352]

Hmmm idk

[@catchmp82]

Swap 1st start up.... in the golf!

[@dokterdori]

mmm something EXPLODED?!?

[@jonathanjovannapc]

First start up and forget to install a turbo oil feed line

[@chrisfix]

I cannot wait to see this fully finished! Nice work dude!

[@HumbleMechanic]

Thanks homie!

[@ardonjr]

The man, the legend himself!!

[@chriskelvin248]

Oh god, please, PLEASE don’t let Paul throw all the old R hardware in the dumpster yet! It would be epic KZbinry to see the stripped-down car on the lift, all of the RS parts articulated on the floor on one side, all the removed R parts articulated on the floor on the other side. And then give everyone a quick compare of size and beefiness between the two models’ components. Extra credit if you weigh them. Would make for fascinating VW tv!

[@HumbleMechanic]

I won't let Paul throw ANYTHING away HAHAH

Ok guys, great stuff as usual. How about stuffing the golf r engine trans into Paul’s really sad gli mark six.

[@mikesvirtualgarage9917]

Epic. Still never tire of seeing 2 factory trained VAG technicians work on cars/do projects like this. The Tony DAnZA swap is one for the ages with this chassis. Love it!

[@Enzo187]

Tony DAnZA 🤣🤣🤣

[@LoudGuitar14]

So great to see this swap happen. I appreciate that you are sharing what it takes to make this happen. Too often details of a DAZA swap are hidden and not shared.

[@HumbleMechanic]

LOT of gatekeeping. Im guessing thats to mystify the swap. TBH it's not a hard swap. just an expensive buy in

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Damn. Best project out right now. Loving it.

[@JacesOwnWorld]

Such a good series guys!! I honestly think the MK&/7.5 Golf R's exterior and interior style is so much better than the RS3's exterior and interior. Many people don't like the look of Golf's, and I respect their opinion. I have always thought they looked good, but the MK7/7.5's have some really good exterior lines. I own a MK7 GTI and after many years of ownership, I still come across lines that I have neve noticed, and that make the exterior what it is. The interiors are also so good. Very driver focused, perfectly ergonomic, and have all the tech any car needs. This DAZA swap is going to be so rad and I cant wat to see the final product and see your smiling faces.

[@mm8436]

It's good to see you struggle to remove axles. Makes me feel good knowing I'm not the only one struggling to remove one item

[@HumbleMechanic]

LOL Yea that P/S wasn't happy

[@Admonitor_]

I remember watching this guy like a year ago since I needed to see how stuff is done on my EA888g3 in my S3, since then idk why but I never watched again. So glad I clicked on this video, this is absolute gold. Entertaining as hell while learning stuff about all things VAG (looking into upgrading to an RS3 so I love seeing some 855evo stuff). Keep it um man!

[@jesse9638]

Hoping you guys fogged the engine after finding out it was sitting for a long time after running on E85. Those sleeves get crusty quickly in my experience. I’m sure you’ve already scoped the cylinders and what not to check out everything considering the cost of this engine. Also, was curious if you have seen the Mighty Car Mods series with the VW Up conversion they’ve been doing. It’d be so cool to see you guys and Marty and Moog working together on something one day, despite the logistics. An excuse to write off a trip to Australia as business expense. Enjoying the series!

[@Noname23489]

So jealous of guys who have lifts and tools like these, wish I had shop like this, the amount of work they do and how easy they make it look when in reality ITS VERY HARD work is very cool to watch

[@Tiozim166]

Pelo vídeo, já da para perceber o trabalho que o @diegofaustino68 vai ter para colocar a motorização do RS3 no Golf GTI.

[@HandleCarefully925]

I love what you guys are doing here. Personally I think the Golf R should have come stock with the 2.5 litre 400hp Audi engine from the factory. Fact for all you out there: that engine was voted “Engine of the World” a few years ago. One of the best on the market today!

[@YZJB]

So was the Ford 1.0L EcoBoost and we all know how that engine went in the real world…

[@mmllmmll22]

​@@YZJBand ppl are still driving 1.0EB and 2.5TFSi. EB only needs oil pickup cleaned every 2/3 oil changes and earlier timingbelt replacement and is good to do every trip :)

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

​@@YZJB So was the FA20 by Honda...... By your logic the FA20 is terrible motor too?

[@tredfxman]

Looking forward to the engjne swap with the RS3, along with selective suspension, rear drive & braking componet upgrades. Keep up the greaf work! 👍👍👍

There is a guy here in Brasil, named Diego Faustino. He will attempt to do the very same swap you guys did. Also, he has a channel on YT too. But his Nardo RS3, bought off a site unseen action, is in really bad shape. I'm already wishing good luck for him and his team... They gonna need a bit more than sheer luck to accomplish the DAZA swap !

[@lontarian2228]

Wow ! amazing 😎 Looking forward for Episode 3, specially I want to see the process of painting the Golf R, fitting the interior and (hopefully) some dyno testing.

[@Rockony]

[@BasedEMT1776]

I hate VW/Audis. I don't just not care for them, I legitimately hate them. And yet I love your channel. The chemistry, the how-to stuff, all of it. It makes me wish you were into JDM stuff. It also has me almost tempted to get a Golf R of my own. But man...I can't get past the special tools for everything and massively expensive one-time use bolts on everything. Still though...tempting. Great work guys.

[@HumbleMechanic]

This is one of the fav comments I get!! HATE VW but dig your channel. THANK YOU!

Charles and Paul make the swapping process look fairly simple....lol. Would be cool to give the RS3 body a second chance. Take body panels off, add roll bars and maybe give it a VR6 turbo engine. Something like Cleetus' Leroy

[@kgille61]

Thanks for showing both cars side by side during this build. Question for you, why not upgrade the engine mounts to something other than OEM along with upgrade fuel lines since you are doing so much work swapping the engines?

[@HumbleMechanic]

Many daza running high power on stock mounts and fuel lines. We did end up going back with new OEM mounts. You’ll see that next week

[@xTheGamerHeart]

amazing project, looking for the next episode.

[@aredd92]

I wonder if the A/C lines are "concentric" because they run quite close to the back of the engine/turbo, so the "outer low side" insulates/cools the "inner high side" to reduce excess heat/pressure. Pretty clever if that's the case.

[@michaelbolton1090]

This is such a cool swap!

[@Sireoja]

Watching this while wating for my mk4 golf's freshly painted rear bumper to dry.

[@HumbleMechanic]

So is this better or worse than watching ACTUAL paint dry? HAHHAHAH \

[@Sireoja]

Way better. The whole job is a nightmare. The bumper had a crack right in the middle and after 2 hours of fixing it I started spraying the paint... wich has expired 3 years ago so it dries slow as hell. At least it looks like the rest of the car.

[@nickelass427]

Would love a daza swap in my 7.5r. But a 2.5l VR6 is tempting, too. Hpa motorsports in Canada has a program with the VR6 clocking in @ 550hp/tq. Both platforms sound amazing 🤩

[@HumbleMechanic]

They announced that right before I bought the Audi. It’s a cool swap for sure
