We bought our own V6 Amarok!

This project was inevitable...
After building several 400bhp V6 Amarok's for customers we decided it was time to get our own.
The main point that I failed to mention was that when Up-Plating to 7T, the payload of the truck itself is increased by 600kg when towing at full capacity as you don't need to eat into the GTW like you do when at the 6T limit.
Take a look at what we can do with these engines:

This channel is underrated... 100K next ✌️

[@drdanphd]

11.50 my van in background lol you done a fantastic job on my van well pleased.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Glad you like it!

[@Maurice_Moss]

Interesting about the upgrading towing capacity, didn't realise you could do that. Would like to hear more about it 👌🏾

[@RETMTM]

Gross Vehicle Mass and Gross Combination Mass is the maximum weight of the vehicle and the maximum weight of the vehicle and trailer combined. GVM & GCM. Here in Australia, VW deliberately dropped the 2020 Touareg's ball weight to 290KG to stop people towing 3,500kg Caravans around. Soft 👀

[@dsummers8191]

Much better with factory plastic chrome retained. Agree on the side bar removal though. Good addition to your LCV fleet.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Cant bear the chrome, sorry!

[@zutidad3867]

Too nice.... I'm stuck in south africa with my amarock v6 and waiting on tuning from you guys after buying Intercooler the meth the oil cooler and the bigger turbo and full exhaust.... Now I'm sure you guys will be able to help faster thanks... Congratulations

[@reallybigfooted]

definitely looks better without the side steps

[@anthonyoreilly7302]

The v10 is the one 👌 messing around towing with them amarick

[@danielmarshall4587]

Re-mapped 6v "fully loaded" trailer, GENTLEMEN ....do take care. Great vid cheers all the best.

[@michaelw4620]

That thing is crying out for the v10 swap. 😜

[@benbradbury3665]

In 400bhp plus form is the v6 better than increased weight of the v10? I don’t know the max the v10 could make.

[@JordanDanielZA]

Reckon a V6 'Rok with full round independent air will be more interesting!

[@Lezduit88]

REYT THEN

[@petercrisp2573]

Reyt then! Nice to see Ryan. Good to see such a range of covering of work on TDi’s and performance work. Any plans to do the V10 with some upgraded turbo’s?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

V10 upgrades are not easy!

[@medz3398]

They’re rated for 3.5t in aus but we have the same 6000kg gcm

[@997speedy]

Love this, have my amarok booked in with you in January, cant wait

[@Retirement_Life]

Looking much better now

[@xMiRAZ94]

This will be interesting. Never really seen much on these.

[@gileshamilton4462]

If you want to do something differnt and want a good spool up time right from the off why dont you compound charge it .... yes a supercharger for the lower rpm's till the larger turbo starts spooling then via a magnet connection it disconnects and you just then work with the turbo .... now that would be a good project

[@patrickhurst8205]

Preferred it,with the side steps admittedly they would have had to black to go with the new look but each to their own,. Looking forward to the project.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It would be cheaper to buy new than paint!

[@MrNotStock]

Video editing is getting better and better 😎 noice work!

[@ryt450]

Would love to see a mpg video like you did with the Ibiza 👍🏻

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Might do it with 400hp!

[@elliotford1423]

Yes looking forward to this

[@Ducatista189]

I wish we still got this engine.

[@jamiebhoy18888]

Should think about buying a twindeck car trailer, would do you for pulling the ibiza and golf and the luton with all the spares inside thats a win win doing it like that, or even using the truck and a twindeck 3 motors and the van that's a really good set up that way

[@jamiebhoy18888]

suppose depends on the trainweight of the truck and luton

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Luton is 2T towing, its crap!

[@martinholland2796]

Top content lads!!! Keep if coming 👍🏻

[@jameswarnock28]

Can I smell twin turbo if your talking about spool time

[@lukekilah6257]

LPG injection system!!! Extra towing POWER.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We wont use it on this!

[@louistaylor8808]

BIG TURBO

[@DRAVER127]

Stick the v10tdi in this 😜

Sorry, but every encounter I’ve had with these on the road, without fail, has left me wanting to change the R in their badges to a C.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Lots of cocks about in all cars unfortunately!

[@neamtialin]

You guys are putting me under tremendous pressure with your amaroks... Irish market is scarce and registration tax is an abomination

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Bring one in from the UK!

[@neamtialin]

@@DarksideDevelopments it is very expensive to register in Ireland Paid 9700€ for a 17 transporter kombi last year, brought from UK Add the mods and could buy a holiday home abroad. I think I am on the wrong side of Brexit

[@neamtialin]

And that was just for registering on Irish plates

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Bad times, keep it on the UK plates!

[@jared4670]

Engine swap the v10 TDI and have an amarok VW wish they could make

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It was the plan but the V10 is old!

[@jared4670]

@@DarksideDevelopments eh, old is a matter of perspective. I'm still gonna do this in time as well. V10 airplane pulling amarok beast! 🤣

[@diegoramdhani2799]

Would keep the side steps but wrap them black

[@AndrewJB]

Really tempted by one of these as well just a shame they are all +vat as its for personal use.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You can drop on them

[@MrBob5y]

Get some black automatic side steps fitted

[@harry9937]

Strrrrrrraight pipe 💨

[@renorti1]

why not use a Touareg as they tow 3500kg, i use an old v6 tdi even the tachograph fits them easily.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yeah we can but we cant have 4 people and a ton of spares in the back of the Touareg without being overloaded.

[@andyhopkinson2708]

Worth having a look at the ford ranger handbrake setup. Can any of those bit swapped over? Like the old Galaxy/Sharan???

[@richardhunt1384]

Rangers use drum brakes on the rear (for the (new) 2.0lt Diesel, 2.2lt Diesel and 3.2lt Diesel) whereas the 3.0lt Diesel VW comes standard with rear disc rears over the lesser models with rear drum brakes.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Drums are always better for HB

[@miketaylor1916]

Handbrake on mine was horrid. Wouldn’t ever hold

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We have a solution!

Hi, do the exhaust from the turbo to the back and the intercooler

We have done loads!

[@ventouxR]

Amarok V12 Tdi?

[@H7dro]

Just wanted to confirm as you said in the video that the 204 224 and 258 all map up to the same? So no point to get anything than the 204 in that case or am I missing something ? Cheers

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes, the end result will be the same.

[@hristohristov8787]

I like it 👍

[@miketroup847]

What could you get out of a 245ps 2013 touareg with a remap ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Just over 300hp normally!

[@Levent_Ergun]

Other than cost, is there a reason not to go with airbags on all four corners?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You could do it, the rear bags are just for additional support so its still 'legal' to carry the weight.
