Porsche Rally Build EP 1 | Built by Mike

[@tnmoe-]

Helped a buddy do up his RX7 oil pan that way. Just door hinges from home hardware and some sheet metal that was laying around. No more oil light, and a flying triangle engine with 7 HARD track seasons. 👌 mint.

[@ecstuning]

Nice

[@TheDroidKilla]

Love the 07k content

[@-redtango]

Yup without TTRS harmonic balancer you'll throw belt at 7100rpm.. ask me how I know :)

[@jamdc2000]

thanks for the tip mate

[@snoopdaclown]

Boosted brothers garage sells a billet tensioner pulley that helps also.

[@-redtango]

@ECS why it isn't @ECS Tuning.. nice try tho

[@d993s]

Of course: start off with a cheap engine and throw a bunch of money and mods into it so it’s reliable, ffs, they’re vendors after all

[@mk5slow173]

ecs has their own belt tensioner limiter for this exact thing

[@hopingforthebest1.9]

2 rally builds from 2 of my favorite channels? Hell yeah!

[@ecstuning]

Hell yea!

[@YouTubezzzzz]

Who else is doing a a rally build?

[@Jollish]

You make it look so easy.. Cheers from the Netherlands!

[@ecstuning]

It’s second nature for Mike.

[@julianslowik5387]

This dudes always working on something cool. Love it

[@jamesgeorge4874]

Finally, a 944 that doesn't make me say "meh". I5 sounds are glorious, especially with boost.

[@coreyhawk1134]

I'm glad to see this swap get more traction. I've been working mine for a while now. Time and money are always lacking for me. You guys are going to start and finish this buiilid before I'm close and I'm glad to be along for the ride!

[@jsr3793]

God dammit! I though I was over my 944 addiction.

[@ecstuning]

Welcome back.

[@sethmorton6372]

Not a chance

[@MichaelSellers5691]

I owned a 944 and a 914 back in the day! Good days they were.

[@goodvives1038]

😂😂😂

[@mikebrown4537]

Here for the 944! Love it

[@wilt778]

Very random: those safety glasses are dope lol.

[@stephanwerner19]

Awesome job! Nice attention to detail, don't mill the walls too thin on those cast pieces!

[@finlay230]

Awsome build, cant wait for updates

[@aronbennett4760]

I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@vapoodyne8249]

Can’t wait to see it driving around town after the upgrades

[@ecstuning]

Local guy, eh?

[@aaronpentith130]

Subscribed for this build.... 5 cylinder at WoT, the sound of 80s rallying from Audi.

[@the.king.hutton]

This is so amazing I NEED more of you

[@FueledBy.Passion]

This is just phenomenal! Ingenuity at its best.👊

[@MichaelSellers5691]

Well done.

[@bilbobrownskate]

Been so excited for this :)

[@imnotagaot]

I have watched this multiple times and each time I have enjoyed it more and more I want to do this to mines but I don't have the skills to manufacture or craft the motor mounts and suspension and bellhousing adapter or entire bell housing

[@DK-wr6mq]

Very cool project! I like the way you are going about it. Cheers!

[@nickthompson318]

I'd love to have an 07k swapped 944. However for the money and effort to build one i could have something else just or possibly more badass.

[@Unaether]

This is awesome.

[@tomthompson7400]

well thought out kit.

[@airmech404]

the engine comes out easily from top without removing transaxle and torque tube!

[@miguelcastaneda7257]

Wonder if trick you do on 928 would work undo unbolt mounts trans n motor...lift body ..seen it done at 928 International

[@extremecards8431]

What year of the 07k engine is needed for the swap kit?

[@mr2scroll538]

Epa coming

[@psavel274]

F them. 😁

[@quickturn66]

I think it’s after 1986

[@doca8792]

Could’ve used an oil pan like that on my 944 turbo before I fried rod bearing #2 at the track.

[@rwsmotors]

Please tell me which company from which car the Hydro Power Steering pump was installed?

[@takeomack2782]

That 9 broken friend!

[@GPharaod9]

Never knew Luck was a car guy.

[@holzwurm_hd7029]

Im not sure what your plan is (30 sec into the Video) but id go for a Rotry engine and a fuel tank up front to try to keep it 50 50, also the Rotary is lightweight and if youre going for rallye it probably lso wouldnt mind the occasional misshift and over revving. (compared to piston engines). Id also be thinking about either an electric Turbocharger or a Supercharger. Or you could go for a Motorbike engine as theyre light weight and if you were to choose an air cooled engine itd be one less point of failure.

[@kukajin9560]

Should I get a turbo trans if I plan to do this?

[@mrbosky710]

If anyone's considering picking up one of these VW 07k engines, try to get one from a 2010 Jetta. The 2010 had a factory vacuum pump delete and electric power steering, discovered that while installing an IE intake kit this last weekend.

[@autoxer1970]

Yay!

[@dmnted8217]

What turbo are you running?

[@ecstuning]

Coming up in the next video!

[@5cylinderdreamz]

Sweet

[@HugoHardinge]

Let’s go 🙌

[@MichaelSellers5691]

Porsche has all season tires?

[@georgef1176]

Did you work at turner in amesbury? I’m from the area I think that’s where I seen you maybe?

[@therealboofighter]

Never seen or heard of this swap before. What are the advantages to this engine?

[@coreyhawk1134]

If you check out the boostbrothers channel Mike goes over them. Weight, position, power, etc

[@therealboofighter]

@@coreyhawk1134 thank you.

[@williambracken8406]

How much was the total cost of the swap?? I am thinking about doing my '85.5 non-turbo...

[@wildwolf_0G]

i guess if you don't want the threads you can insert a bolt then weld the bolt and then cut/trim/sand the bolt to be one with the other piece

[@ecstuning]

The housing is aluminum.....

[@Devilacme]

Just fill it with aluminum weld and cut it smooth.

[@tyschwartz172]

Yesssss

[@joshuazamudio3668]

Liked & Subscribed! Could you post the links for the Boost Brothers kits? Looking to do this for my 944 as well. Cheers!

[@ecstuning]

Here ya go: bit.ly/3zPvjna

[@uses0ap]

Sneak up on it

[@williambracken8406]

I guess you probably dont know yet, but what's the ballpark you're looking at for cost?

[@steenlassen5718]

I don't get it! Why no dry sump? No oil froth from slushing around.

[@all-flat-engines]

I love this build (sub'd)

[@EthanLaek]

Great video! I want to fight the auto-focus on the camera tho

[@christopherbell7561]

Looks like its ment to be there

[@pollo.888]

this is great. nice to see the 07k get more swap attention. Plus Boost Bros is an ohio brand too. 👍🏼

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

hmm we used to just undo harness..remote shifter..undo half shafts engine mounts..and tilt up body..and we didnt have access to a lift like yours..ahh can do a 928 same way

[@lucasvincen398]

Zach Jobe brought me here

[@ecstuning]

Zach 😍

[@georgef1176]

I swear I’ve met this guy. Looks very familiar.

[@miguebecerra747]

I fucking love you guys

[@fitz3540]

As someone who's not a VW nerd, this video editing was so confusing. I couldn't tell when you stopped talking about the Porsche engine and switched over to the VW one 😂

[@ecstuning]

We appreciate the feedback and will make transitions clearer in the upcoming episodes!

[@alexkalinichenko1574]

Very cool shit '

[@PoptartGenocide]

If you guys need an engine with a forged crank let me know. That motor looks roughhhh.

[@squiga4263]

i need an engine with a forged crank :)

[@MachineEnthusiast]

I saw this on a forum… somewhere…

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

I'm tired of engine swaps on lawnmower and such. Lift, I need a lift and a slab to mount it to. Dear Santa...

[@BobbyStanley]

anyone else only able to hear the licc

[@d993s]

07K is ghey (cheap engine that requires a ton of mods, do the math) Just pay more for a AAN or 3B and cut down on 40% of the mods required to make any serious power.

[@CodyDoesIt]

My 944 was confiscated by a crack head friend's parents when I was 19 smh.....

[@earlscheib7754]

Should have LS swapped it

[@d993s]

No, Audi has several better options than what these guys chose. Then again, they’re vendors so they encourage bad investments

[@igorushka]

After EPA gets the win, this car is illegal.

[@heintmeyer2296]

yeah and they are going to make hamburgers illegal too! Then they are going to make it against the law to say Merry Christmas. And, and and.. Don't buy that SEMA hype.

[@stanleykalapana8276]

Why work on the junk

[@1badhaircut]

grassroots racing is out-of-pocket so it’s all about good junkyard hunting.

[@d993s]

Because they’re vendors and make money off unsuspecting excited DIY’ers that are fine with spending money regularly, ending up putting in way more than they imagined
