This *Engine Swapped* MK2 Golf GTI Sounds EPIC!

Meet Ben and his awesome MK2 Golf GTI build! Pushing just shy of 200bhp thanks to a 2L 16V swap, as well as a huge list of supporting modifications (including ITBs!), this MK2 GTI is the perfect B-Road basher! We take a walkaround the car as usual, before hopping in and going for a spin...

A low Golf 2 GTI on BBS wheels is something that would always look great 👌

[@bogy999]

Coolest car you've had on the channel. I'd sacrifice speed for noise anyday 👌😎

[@piero2611]

Old school goodness still alive and kicking!!👌 Need to actually drive it to get the most out of it!! What brakes are on it??

[@Mk2_benj]

Definitely need to take it to the higher revs to get the best out of it! It’s got g60 brakes and eibach ARB’s, totally forgot to say that during the video

[@DevonBarrett]

Stunning ride Ben! The joys and laughs say it all! In SA we love the Mk1/Mk2's 🇿🇦👌

[@Mk2_benj]

Thanks man 🤝🏻

[@air.fuel.gogogo]

Love Mk2’s, had 4 when I was younger, 2 Drivers, 2 GTI’s. One of my GTI’s had a 2.0 16v in it, gave my mate in his 2.5 Focus ST a run for his money 😁. All about power to weight oldskool style 😎

[@aaronalp2639]

Noise is just 😍🎶

[@fatbob6729]

Proper car.

[@ajkr32]

The daddy hot hatch always, the ITBs truly sound amazing! Saying that, a R32 swap is always going to sound epic also ✌️

[@user-mn7lo6su2g]

Owner respect ❤

[@glynnmason8205]

Great car very good

[@usrnmeunknwn8691]

Did he source this as a full kit? At one stage there was a complete jenvey and emerald setup available as a package from one of them

[@Mk2_benj]

The ITBs came from badger5 and the emerald was supplied and fitted by Varatechnik. It was then tuned by John from emerald

[@user-sl5bh8kr8h]

My mk1 nearly ready, 16v engine with twin 45 webbers and a set of 928 polished wheels

[@harv8742]

Itbs sound sound good

[@mrtizer6672]

Why the actual f**k would you drive an electric when you got real cars like this 👍

[@ftlc-mayush5876]

Beautiful golf.... needs a 276 degree intake cam and 288 degree exhaust cam

[@chrismc1977]

As a former owner of an ITB’d 2L valver it certainly isn’t knocking on 200hp.

[@Mk2_benj]

Never said it was knocking on the door of 200hp, it made 171hp on the rollers

[@chrismc1977]

@@Mk2_benjthe vid description suggests as much- not your claim of course. Mine made 200hp at Stealth. Jenvey DTH bodies, Schrick 268/276 cams, DTA management. Lightened flywheel etc etc. Peak at 7300, holding to limiter at 7800. Definitely power to be found I’d say

[@Mk2_benj]

@@chrismc1977 sadly not in the realm of being able to claim 200hp(ish) just yet! This made 171hp at Varatechnik, we set the rev limit at 7k to keep it safe, there’s more in it

[@davidthomas7424]

That car needs big bumpers and a standard gti spoiler colour coded then it will be perfect 🥰 ❤ always loved mk2 mk1

[@Richard-xg3fc]

Reminds me of my Rs2000 with twin 48's sounds the nuts.

[@elvanmilla830]

Mk1 mk2 they just have that killer look and after that mk6 mk7 is ok until now

[@WalshEBoY]

Amplifies the slowness of engine 😬

[@honda.spares.man1]

Cool car, has to be 3dr for me though. Otherwise perfect 👌

[@garns8878]

Better than any modern car with a map and bolt ons all day long

[@paulpateman6723]

Not a VW fan but car is awesome 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

[@user-hf3ep3qt3p]

Had a g60 golf got it from Germany would have pissed all over this

[@Mk2_benj]

Good for you. Didn’t sound as good though

[@user-hf3ep3qt3p]

@@Mk2_benj sounded better mate ya ever been in a g60
