The VR6 MK6 Swap | Part 2: Drivetrain is Complete!

[@nah4got]

I want to put my vr6 into a golf r so bad. This content is gold, thanks!🙏🏽

[@Ninety4co]

Do it dude! Nothing beats the sound of a wookie

[@nah4got]

It’s in my 2015 Passat, but with only 59,000. I wanna get it swapped while it’s young!! Once again, thanks for the content and inspiration.

[@joshstephens8648]

Excited to see this thing in person! Always loved your car and this makes it even better! And a great guy to boot! Keep it up 💪🏼

[@Ninety4co]

I appreciate the kind words dude! Means a lot, thank you 🙏

[@crystalhurst8713]

My hubs is thinking on a build of an old golf with new guts. lol. You game to do a full build?

[@Ninety4co]

Absolutely 💯

[@fredjones5327]

Great video I’m glad your doing this I’ll follow you please do a detailed video on how your wiring the clutch position sensor and reverse light PLEASE, and which south bend clutch you ordered? For a mk4 or Passat?? I’m trying to manual swap my 18 Passat GT 3.6 and I need to know which south bend to get, I’m using a 04 R32 transmission cause oh yeah I’m making her AWD as well.

[@Ninety4co]

Hey! I mention that early on in the video, it’s a mk4 clutch/flywheel kit. My reverse light and clutch position sensor didn’t require any rewiring, they were already in place in my car. I dive deeper into wire in 2 episodes

[@fredjones5327]

@@Ninety4co ohhhhh car was manual already gotcha!!!!!! Cool beans I’m 👀👀👀👀👀

[@davidminor6663]

Are you going to put the middle exhaust rear valance on it??? I thought about doing it to my Mark 6 and its not a wookie VR6 , just looks cool IMO

[@Ninety4co]

No sir, I actually have some other special plans for the exhaust 😎

[@nickbadgio]

That song is fire

[@Ninety4co]

I should own the rights to it and use it in every video don’t you think?

[@1996GolfHarlequin]

Did the 10 gti come with a singing I thought it was fsi . Did you swap it

[@Ninety4co]

2008.5 the mk5 switched over to the TSI. All mk6 GTIs were TSIs, with the exception of the ED35 which we didn’t get in the states.

[@1996GolfHarlequin]

Very true I can see that by the timing cover to. You are right :)

[@jessealba5760]

please turbo it so I can do the same for my Cross sport

[@Ninety4co]

No desire to turbo it, I will be doing big cams though

[@benreeves8541]

Perfect mix of Flex/Humble/Funny/Technical. Keep it up!

[@Ninety4co]

Wow thank you! I tried my best to keep it entertaining. Only had one take for everything since this footage goes back over 6 months ago

[@benreeves8541]

Excited to see what's next & hopefully some spotlight on that wagon too!@@Ninety4co

[@Ninety4co]

@@benreeves8541oh no 😢 I regret to inform you there isn’t much else on the wagon. It’s my daily. If you head over to my Instagram there’s a few posts on its. It’s a full OEM votex kit ‘12 Jetta Sportwagen. Fully delete + ego tune. Low and slow!

[@euroberto85]

I just wanna know where the funding for these kinds of projects come from. I got a mk5 rabbit gifted to me by this older VW enthusiast and i want nothing more than to make it awesome.

[@Ninety4co]

Do it man! I saved up for a while, but also this project cost less than you probably think. The engine came from a pick-your-part junkyard for $300. Of course I spent lots more on all the parts to rehab it but still, little bit at a time and I was slowly able to get what I needed over about a 3 month period. Perhaps in a while I’ll do a full build/cost breakdown including what I was able to sell all my old 2.0 stuff for.

[@teamphashash]

I love this build. New sub from South Africa. 🇿🇦

[@Ninety4co]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@Drdj716]

*Quirks and features intensify*

[@Ninety4co]

THIS!!!!!!! is a transmission.

[@Arrrgh14]

9:27 diaper delivery and visit from the UPS man lol

[@Ninety4co]

The only proof you need that this really is a DIY at home swap 😂

[@solsykness]

So where was the 3.6 sourced? Was it one found in the Atlas? And if so, the MK4 trans works with it? Figured I’d ask. I’m sure it’s been covered in one of the videos.

[@Ninety4co]

Yup, mk4 trans from a 24v and it’s a BLV 3.6 from a b6 Passat

[@kh_trendy]

Love that you're hanging out with you son while doing this project! He may not understand now, but one day he'll be turning a wrench for you on a future build, I'm sure!

[@Ninety4co]

I hope so too!

[@STR8CLPN]

What did you do with the 2.0 engine? I live in Hickory NC.

[@Ninety4co]

It’s long been sold, all the 2.0T stuff has. All I have left is the downpipe

[@justinfletcher3753]

So hyped for this series!

[@Ninety4co]

You da man 😎

[@EstebanHernandez-u7g]

The harness that you scrapped and the new one you got from the dealership is that from the Passat ?

[@Ninety4co]

Yes! That was the Passat engine to ECU harness. That remained untouched throughout the swap. I talk about wiring a lot more in episode 4

[@kenanking02]

Dumb question but was the trans swap necessary for this build?

[@Ninety4co]

Yes. 4cyl VW transmissions won’t bolt up to a VR6

[@NCgetitB]

It’s the oil pan powdercoating for me 😩😩

[@Ninety4co]

Had to do it all!

[@TH3DUKE]

Great channel man, i appreciate the knowledge you been dropping it's amazing. Quick question, can an R32 vr6 fit in an mk1 golf??

[@Ninety4co]

Certainly can. Lots of companies make 24v swap mounts for the mk1-3 chassis. Saw several mk1s in Helen this year that were 2.8 and 3.2 swapped

[@TH3DUKE]

@Ninety4co okay man, thank you and keep posting more helpful content. This is my 1st project, say hii to oscar😅😅😅🫶🏽

[@bradleykunshier7705]

Haha you won’t have to pop your hood to see it. Heading to wookies in the woods for the tenth year in a few weeks. You gonna be there?

[@Ninety4co]

I’ve never been! So yes I’m hoping it’ll be ready. I may or may not have been driving the car for a few days now 🤫

[@bradleykunshier7705]

@@Ninety4co yeah buddy! Can’t wait to see it in person. I’ll hopefully see you there 🤙

[@piasprojects]

Fantastic assembly job of the motor and that transmission looks so familiar! Keep up the awesome work!

[@Ninety4co]

Haha I was wondering when this comment was gonna arrive 😎

[@fitop.7468]

Nice 😲👍

[@Ninety4co]

Thanks ✌

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

LFG!!

[@Ninety4co]

💪😎

[@juddfyah]

Is that busted wire harness F/S

[@Ninety4co]

Um sure? There’s a few pins and stuff pulled out of it.

[@Ninety4co]

Shoot me a dm on my insta, @chobester or @ninety4.co

[@ianjackson6669]

Another awesome video 👏🏾👏🏾

[@Ninety4co]

Thank you 🤗

[@spughetti]

I just traded in my mk6 for a 7.5 after 7 years and I miss it! This build is awesome, love to see a unique passion project in one of my favorite gens.

[@Ninety4co]

Right on dude! This is actually my first car, I’ve had it almost 10 years. Needless to say it’s a forever car at this point.

[@spughetti]

@@Ninety4co I feel that! My MK6 was pretty mint and just needed a turbo, but I don't really turn a wrench beyond the basics (for lack of space/tools/funds) so it just made the most sense. I would have loved to keep it as a project but hopefully it can be someone else's racecar someday

[@Ninety4co]

@@spughetti yup, went down that road too. Turbo started to go so I stuck a k04 in there. Enjoyed it for a while and… well now you see what’s going on 😅

[@josemarques4674]

absolute dream swap, so sick lol

[@Ninety4co]

It was for a long time for me as well
