Turbo 07K Build - Part 7 (Porsche 944 5 Cylinder Swap)

[@budgetoutlaws9978]

When the 944 world sees this, Everyone will be doing it! Very cool!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks! It’s been a ton of work and financial risk so let’s hope people keep jumping on board!

[@alexkern9134]

I would pay someone to swap it for me

[@toad0720]

MORE MAESTRO, MORE. MUSIC TO MY EARS!!

[@thescalefactorypl9932]

If I ever get my hands on 944 hell yeah this swap is insane 🤟🏼

[@rockinroland08]

Im doing it!!!!

[@Namesi]

Oh baby - those turbo noises making me go 6 to 12 real fast

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

I had to see a doc after mine lasted for more than 8 hours

The straight 5 sound and the turbo sounds are such great match. Can't wait to see the final product!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Me too!

[@AnissaEx]

That flat torque curve is awesome, got to love those 5cylinders

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

For sure!

[@YensR]

Man, as much as I love ridiculous RS2 and 3B builds with the old Audi inline 5s, this is tickling my fancy!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

A new frontier!

[@rick32rg]

You're doing what vw should be doing right now making a straight 5 front engine rear wheel drive car. God this is amazing. We need to petition to vw to make a rear wheel drive coupe and give it a 5cyl engine

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

I vote for a new 944 with the TTRS engine!

[@DigitalKudzu]

Damn that 07K sounds so good

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks! Gotta love a 5 cylinder!

[@Russell_and_Rosko]

Stoked for these builds. The 5 sounds amazing.

[@aw614]

Awesome power, and I love how it sits in the engine bay

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks!!!

[@rennkafer13]

Sounds beautiful, Mike. I know you can get those torque numbers up with more tuning, will be really interested to see what the final numbers are.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Hopefully 350 tq and 450 hp!

[@gnrrpreacher]

Hell yeah! Fantastic early numbers. Let's get a tune on this!!! That car is gonna skoot!

Almost as quick as an Opel will be!

Very cool those are some amazing numbers right there, and it sounds so good.Imagine this revving to 8k, the power was still climbing at 7k.And yup couplers blowing of, i know about that, had that a ton of times.👍

[@ROYALUSTER]

SWEET!!!! I may have to look into a 944 track toy one day!

Hella yeah so much potential I can't wait to see what this thing can do.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

The anticipation is killing me!

[@paulhoffman1481]

This is friken cool! 360 wheel was easy! Think there would be more in it between 7500 and 8500 rpm with some springs? Keep up the good work! This is one of the coolest swaps I have seen!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks! Cams and springs would REALLY make it sing. The stock cams are awful considering how good the head is.

[@aw614]

@@BoostBrothersGarage This makes me sad seeing VW restrict the power of the 07k all for the issue ridden 2.0t FSI and TSI motors :(

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Exactly!

[@CrispyCrunch3]

@@BoostBrothersGarage Is anyone making camshafts for the 07k? I've been looking at this for my next project but i'd love to squeeze some more power from the n/a engine.

Cat Cams

[@vasantos-re4hb]

Truth be told - it sounds like a Lamborghini

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

That’s one of my favorite things about the 07K! Baby Gallardo!

[@toad0720]

Remind me of the best 07k motor to use again. Getting an itch to attempt this.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

I prefer 08-10 but any 08 and up will work great. 08 is when they went to the upgraded timing chain. 11 and up has a two stage oil pump that is a bit more complex.

[@toad0720]

@@BoostBrothersGarage Thank you very much. I appreciate your quick response. Should have been more careful though, Murphy's Law just killed an engine in my daily driver.😪

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

No way! Sounds like your luck is as bad as mine. Sorry man!

[@toad0720]

@@BoostBrothersGarage blew a head gasket. Easier to buy another engine than repair. Need to have a money flying away emoji.

[@AnissaEx]

The early 07K's (mostly pre-07) had forged cranks. Well some not all, there doesnt seem to be much rhyme or reason to it. The timing chain is easily upgraded to the newer spec and it's not a big deal since you'll probably be replacing it anyway.

[@RebuildRex]

Very cool! Love this combo. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@tuckejev]

I've been looking for a project car that I can Hoon around in and have fun, well look what I stumbled upon here!

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Do it!

[@miguelsanchez6465]

so im about to buy your SPA manifold for the 07k 5 cylinder, do you guys know if it will fit in the engine bay of a mk6 golf? im still going to buy it if its to big, my firewall will have to pay the price because i need boost! what engine management are you using?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

To my knowledge it will! It’s fits the Rabbit. We are using the Performance Electronics ECU. We have more info on it on our website!

[@miguelsanchez6465]

Boost Brothers Garage thanks guys, I really appreciate your help

[@chadlegault9993]

Missed you mate.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Glad to be back! Been a rough few months on the home front.

[@P1983sche]

Oh man...that sounds incredible! What kind of transaxle are you using? Very cool man... More boost 💪 😂

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks! This car has a 951 trans in it right now. Hoping it will hold up to all the abuse as long as we don’t launch it.

[@P1983sche]

Boost Brothers Garage Hell yeah. That engine looks nice in there too. Sweet. Subbed.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Thanks for the sub, hope you enjoy!

[@kululv]

did you change anything on the stock motor, like compression ratio? you said yo took the timing back to less than 10deg, and no valve timing, but other than that?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Nope, all stock internals!

[@udovdh]

`Room for activities` as in 500+ HP? (more revs, more timing, VVT...)

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

I don’t know if we’ll make it to 500 but 450 should definitely be attainable!

[@unapranker]

Awesome sound. Which engine management are you using? I want to swap a 07k in my 1989 90 quattro. Almost to a point I can start, just have a truck that needs a motor first.

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

We are using a standalone and swap harness kit we developed with Performance Electronics. Here’s a link! www.boostbrothersgarage.com/product-page/07k-standalone-ecu-swap-harness-package

[@Diego-gm5bd]

Will the setup your running on this car how much did it all cost together

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

All in this one was around $15k. It can be done for as little as $10k

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Awesome!

[@crannser]

Love it

[@Icuosnas7]

Can't wait to get my NA 07k 944 running to iron out bugs and throw boost at it!!.... I can hear my transmission screaming already though haha

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Hahaha, transmissions were meant to be broken

[@BigGroupHug]

Is there room across the top for a strut bar?

[@BoostBrothersGarage]

Yes. The one that was on the car interfered with the throttle bracket though so we’ll need to do some modifications to it.

[@homesliceconnor]

Yesss let’s goooooo

They are Forgeline RS on stock hubs. Old school!
