Custom 1.4t passenger side engine mount for the 1975 VW rabbit - ep #59

It's not the most glamorous job, or video I've done, but it's one of the most important on the project. Building a custom engine mount for the CZTA 1.4t swap going into the 1975 VW rabbit project. You can't buy things like this, so they have to be made.

Can't wait to see it on the road.I live by Pt. Defiance and love seeing a local build.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

It doesn't get much more local than that!!!

Great fab work! Don’t be putting your self down . It’s great 👍 great to see some bunny 🐰 rabbit videos !

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Thanks Steven! I want to bring pekple really good content and products, and know there are people out there with really great skills...but you're right...I should be a little easier on myself.

Your enthusiasm is infectious! Great project!!

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Thank you!

Beautiful job.... I wish in kenya this would be possible i would fit my golf mk GTI with 1.4t

[@RachelDrivesCleanCars]

that's got to be a good feeling, having the engine mounted in there

[@ThrottleGrotto]

it is, but there's an overwhelming amount of work left to do. I'm hoping I can get at least a test fire this summer. Once the datsun work is caught up, I'll be eyeballs deep in the rabbit.

[@drewlegittoquit]

I’m so pumped for this! The 1.4t is my dream MK1 swap.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

I'm looking forward to hearing it run, in so many ways.

[@alexshagal5474]

Man thank you for doing this project! This is my dream project for my mk1 🐰

[@ThrottleGrotto]

there's still some pretty large hurdles to overcome on this project, but thank you!

[@devropapier1013]

You must make more mounts so that we can buy them from you

[@ThrottleGrotto]

I should probably make sure this whole thing is going to work first!!!😆

[@devropapier1013]

@@ThrottleGrotto yes please and as soos as it does start making cause im from south africa and would love to do a setup like this in mu vw pickup

[@ThrottleGrotto]

@@devropapier1013 I'm sure as this engine gets more popular, people will make the mounts available

[@gilbertoreyna2952]

I'm ready to buy; honestly😅

[@Pjke3079]

That’s awesome. 👌🏼

[@ahmedshendi3703]

Nice work bro .. but what will u do with the ECU and the electrical system to get this engine work?

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Currently working with an ECU tuner to get the limitations removed so the engine will run.

[@ahmedshendi3703]

@@ThrottleGrotto i am planning to sawp that engine into a ibiza 6k2 but i am still confused about using the ea211 or the older version ea111 as I didn’t find any info about how many hp that ea211 could handle on stock internals… the older version with aftermarket pistons could easly pass the 300hp mark.. appreciate your help if u have the info 🙏

[@tallgiese1]

Excellent work that way I see it 😁 though now I have to go check that I put my stock motor mount in the right way 😕 I hope I did because I don't want to take that whole thing off and see if I can push out the mount.

[@ThrottleGrotto]

Good news for you...the metal bar faces down, not up. Should look like a Y installed...guess what I spent tonight fixing??? 🙃

[@SrBugDj]

@@ThrottleGrotto you put your mount up side down , looked like you tried to hide it with your hand hoping no one will noticed LoL! Great Videos I really like your way of explaining things and your voice is relaxing to my ears👍🏽

[@ThrottleGrotto]

@@SrBugDj I think I did, I had to press it out and reinstall it. Good eye!
