My b5 a4 1.8t (ATW) has 215k miles on it. Im thinking of fitting a 4.0 w8 in whenever the engine completely goes. This video is inspiring

[@sanjincattunar6859]

Thanks again guy's for doing this video and get time to explain in short terms, even if im from Europe, Croatia 🇭🇷 to be exact, and i have some issue with imperial to metric system isn't such a big deal, there's always google 😉. But for real, keep up with good work and many more news,updates, tour event's, it's all good information. Just film some from dyno tuning and similar if it's not too much to ask for! Big regards from Rijeka, Croatia 🇭🇷 Malaka G & S

Great job 😊 Keep moving forward is the goal, and always learning on the way.

[@mk3whitewide]

Love me some vrt. Silver one is sweet but that red one is extra sweet looking.

[@darius9521]

I like that you guys have different setups and sticking to it

[@danny_vrsociety]

Loving the VR content, malakas! Can't wait to see them rippin' again.

[@pimpslayer9109]

Love to see this

[@blairarmishaw7329]

Hi, I love your videos, I have a A3 3.2 vr6 Quattro, I want to turbo it , so your videos do give me some good ideas, but can you give more information about the good and the bad of a product, etc why you buy it, why it did not work as you thought, the change , the price , where you got it from. We all go through a learning curve, it would be nice, if we didn't need to go through the same mistake. And yes more links, turbo , exhaust, pump ,computer, any parts you talk about that are different.Ok thanks .

[@mateuszb.4011]

My mechanic did 2,8 VR6 2009 TT (and increased it to 3,0 later) and turbod it(garret r36). The only problem he had was that at high boost when a big torque came up the trans used to deattache. So he just bolted some rails to the frame and now trans just gets blocked by those and doesn't move anymore

[@2fast225]

2.5 Swap / 5 cyl 07k B5 Swap coming on the channel soon?

[@gnarshread]

Yes!

[@rype36]

I've stalled on my 07k b5 swap...just gonna go 12v vr6

[@2fast225]

856XerXes some people in Arizona were gonna do a 07K swap with Iroz, don’t know what happen with that..

[@balcyvr6]

Please someone do a vw 5 cylinder turbo swap build! I can't do it and I've been trying to find good ones for a couple years lol

[@Lp22-b1u]

[@jerrycaille]

Great work !

[@shakejunt7036]

So why would the vr6 be better than a 2.7t? I mean just the simple fact that you can go single turbo? Or is the engine better overall???

[@jasonsands5823]

Do you guys think this would work in a a B5.5 Passat Wagon? What you have done looks amazing!

[@fusemalaysia840]

🙏 thank you for global cast for unchain me...

[@thedetaildad9688]

Definitely interested in the links ! Haha can’t seem to find the motor mounts on the 24v :)

Wish y’all were around me I’d love to help build my laser

[@fredjones5327]

Damn guys absolutely amazing!!!!

You can drop the word ‘slash’ verbal communication, a sentence were you list the options works fine with out, leave slashes (/) for a written list 👍

Could you turn that 90• fuel fitting and run the fuel line under the plenum?

[@arablues4142]

Need vr6 swap....

[@rexmemore]

whats the estimated cost of vr6 swap in an a4 b6 if i already have the engine?

[@MartiGTR]

What is the benefit switching from a 2.7 bi turbo to a vr6? And is a vr5turbo a good idea as well?

[@javia5964]

My vr6 motor just took a shit smh 😪

[@TurboB5]

Easiest explanation: "Pain in the ass and wallet"

[@turbosmike2046]

The knowledge here is amazing and the experience in platform shows! You need to make more videos, maybe about searching parts and buying parts ect...you could dominate KZbin! 🤘

[@ocavant]

No heater and no A/C= Race Car Great builds guys. Would this conversion be possible with heat/AC?

[@89foxguy]

👌👌 Man I'd love to do this swap I just don't know, it's over whelming.

[@waca2023]

The wine red Audi has a much more efficient and straight forward cooling system. Have misgivings about the early 12 valve VR6s - light cam bearing cap design, unusual engine wobble at idle, oil pressure issues 😢. But it was still a good engine if taken care of. The 24 valve VR6 is a total FREAK! It's like a Kardashian Woman: beautiful and athletic, but hot headed, expensive, and temperamental. Btw - both girls get pissed off if you ignore them. Jason Wampler

[@SweetWrapsGarage]

If you don't mind me asking what's the range of cost for a swap like this? Blew the motor in my b5 that I just did maintenance on 40k miles ago and want to make the change.

[@Jolinator]

Tremendous video.

[@bamgohardgamingok8554]

Hey fellas..I have a 2002 Audi A8 an I love the car and want to make it fast a little at a time..I’m not swimming in money..lol I would like to pick your brain on steps to take..I don’t know how to message on here

[@cbr600f478417]

Bro idk if u even check these but im trying to do a vr6 swapped to my 2012 audi a3 do u have a guide

[@volkswagon92vr]

I went single turbo conversion w/2.8 heads ,liquid to air, duel fuel pumps. Should be on the road in few wks.... still im 100% regretting not going for the vr swap. Very nice job on the cars guys

[@captainsledge7554]

I really wanna know what exhaust they have in clip 3 that made the car sound like an exotic 6cyl

[@cruzanlusion9159]

I love it u should get way more views

[@jeremyswingle4752]

I can't find the coolant pipe your talking about do you have a number for it?

[@jdubayou9498]

Way back I had a 2001 mrk 4 gti with a vr6 and a vf engineering’s vortec super charger kit and it was slow 14.8 was the best I got but the car ran forever

[@jdubayou9498]

Idk probably slow slow never ran it stock

[@nathanpettey7568]

Do u guys have any non high horse power builds. Like a reliable daily

Wow, just started exploring vr6 swap

[@miguelarturofrias2317]

What gearbix bell housing works for the b5

[@stevenharpervw]

Hey! I’m just building a Vr6 corrado. Totally standard, engine is a AAA from a mk3 I wired fuel to the battery and the engine does start and runs, when I connect it to pin m2 so the ecu can control and prime the pump it does not work, I have pin 30 and 30b with a jumper wire. Relay 12 all wired correctly, and tested it is working M2 for powering fuel pump connected. And not working. I know the ecu grounds the signal wire to turn on and off the fuel pump, am I missing something else or an extra ground etc??? Looked on line but no one can help me .

[@jkbooch]

What do u guys do other than youtube that u can afford to do sll of this shit

[@JuanBrolo]

Hey guys I keep having so many issues with my 1.8t a4 ultrasport and I am wanting to swap a different heart into it. Do you think the ve 2.5 5cyl with a turbo or a vr6 3.6 fully bolted would be better I want to keep ac and can make custom lines

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Vr6 all the way

[@JuanBrolo]

@@MalakaMotorSports what is the best vr6 to fit into the b6 chassis I've put alot of work into this car. Full b7 s4 interior swap, koni coil overs, carbon side skirts, oem b7 rs4 wheels no spacers with a perfect tuck. I really don't want to get another car I haven't seen many b6 as clean as this car so a new engine type is a must 1.8t is just garbage and sounds like a pissed off Honda. I thought about a vw 2.5 built turbo but if a vr6 is easier and tuning would be easier I will go this direction.

[@cannabis_culture518]

Really informative guys !!!!!

[@MalakaMotorSports]

Glad you think so!

[@billasohyeah]

What is stav's 12v hp? Love your vr6s. Amazing.

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

Malaka... (Wanker Motorsports?)

[@justint5625]

I had a 93 Corrado VR6 superchargered Z1 engineering with borla exhaust and kw coil overs. Also never dropped the compression man did that car go💨

[@craigferguson2057]

Damn good video 👍🏻

[@rayhitz5666]

Any videos on the difference in diverter valve and custom blow off valves? How to install the custom blow off valve, where and can you use both or take out the diverter??? Help

[@jamest5149]

A water to air intercooler isn’t anywhere near as efficient as a air to air intercooler... where you gain is you can drop some ice in the tank to pull down IAT’s... this is only suitable for drag races and 1/2 mile events etc where the runs are very short. Track or road use the air to air is king.

[@perez13691]

Im so happy to have found your channel 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 not alot of support in my area for the do it urself guys that work on Audis i have 93 s4 2.2 5banger needing a new turbo u have inspired me to get to wrenching. This vr6 is a badass build💯 much love from Ft Collins Colorado..

[@nineridesshotgun]

hahah you guys are insane. love this

[@ssjrockooo1407]

You guys made me enjoy the process and progress on the vr6 b5’s that I want to do a vr6 swap on a b8 a4 in the future

[@mateoarellano3193]

Bro I’m thinking about getting a 2000 a4 b5 what should I look for? Like con wise. Pls make a video for how much a vr6 cost

[@JuergenGDB]

I had a 2004 VR6... strong engine.. had Neuspeed 70mm exhaust, DP... sounded great.. again it was a very reliable strong engine.

[@balamramos4101]

Please check your grey dog's left ear. The other dog was smelling it for a bit and he was scratching it... maybe ear mites.

[@MrRaybj]

What did you use for the radiator mount frame? I'm going to try to put a Mishimoto universal radiator in my b5 a4?

[@AudiophileTubes]

So, is this going to be your fastest Audi project to date? What is the HP and torque of that beast, when you're done?

[@1609-d6c]

what transmission did you use?

[@ricardohay4653]

Who did the turbo header?

[@mrAudisubaru]

Really like the 24V VR6 but would prefer the oem instrument cluster and ecu like it is set up on the 12V.

[@doublevanoz]

Looks like a hudge process. I over the vr... But is it worth it, what's the benefits, or is it a passion thing?

[@dannycoultas265]

Been waiting time to see the b5s again love the vrs3 but my heart lyes with the old school

[@cryptoholic5676]

Vr6 swap better than 4.2 v8 swap? Or which one is easier for a first time build.

[@gnarshread]

Great video guys!

[@BarrioHoncho]

tryna do this in my b7

[@harp_attack]

Thanks for the parts list. I'll be starting my VR6 project soon and this will help a lot. :)
