We make a VW VR6 Engine Rear-Wheel Drive on Scotto’s Gymkhana GRiD Toyota AE8

Make a dry sump tank to fit in the side ov the wheel arch maybe vin ?

scotto you need to rebuild shit car. can we have a rule loser rebuild shit car!

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

You guys should have done the Porsche Cayenne VR6

[@sv-bk]

Scotto's beard is going more and more mad scientist as the build goes on! Feels like watching a Rob Dahm video.

[@mitchelljones2311]

Homie belongs in Alaska with the rest of us 🤙

[@leonjorisr]

How long will it be when the build is finished?

[@andrewmamarella905]

By the end he’ll look more like rob zombie

[@allencharles14]

​@leonjorisr if we go off Rob Dahm's track record...then it will be 13 years and a bunch of crowd funding and ripping viewers off. Oh and don't forget the fact he didn't do majority of the work and paid ppl to do it for him.

[@sohctony]

They have him scheduled to be Santa for the Christmas sale and want to give him enough time to get a nice full one.

[@43Disciple]

Full-Bearded Scotto is a rare, mythical creature that only appears when a build is 80% complete

[@MidshipRunabout2]

I believe you meant %80 thought out.

[@Jiekexun]

Ok so a traditionally transverse engine adapted to a longitudinal configuration with an adapter to an Audi trans bolted to another adapter for a TKO trans in a Japanese car from the 80s. This is why Hoonigan builds are the greatest and the most entertaining! Good luck, Scotto! Looking forward to racing against your VR86 in Gymkhana GRID 😉

[@Mr.Ghost_og]

They already make an adapter to bolt a vr6 to a gs6 which are abundant, cheap, light and hold well well over 600hp

[@jono6379]

You think Scottos projects never get done because he doesn't have time but no this proves its just that he is wildly over ambitious with what can be achieved. Please never change scotto because it's so much fun to watch 😁

[@wiggidywakwak]

Watching scotto work on cars really gives that same level of anxiety that working on my own cars does. It's that primal fear at every step of the way that's just so relatable.

Hahahah. The Anxiety is REAL.

[@niceguy37058]

When you use the tracing feature of the table, try not to make sharp corners. Round corners are easier for the eye to follow. If you need a sharp corner, add a loop to the corner. I used one in high school welding class.

[@JonesingUSAF]

One day I hope I’ll have friends and job like doing mad scientist shit at Hoonigan. Keep killing it Scotto, you’re making Ken proud brother!

Love how the Toyota engine was just hanging out most of the episode like the back up vehicle from Top Gear.

[@mrlaholatva]

I don't think there were any Toyota engines in this episode, the backup engine was a VW engine as well. 😅

[@iananderson4897]

Scotto doesn't speak Toyota. But he's fluent in V.A.G I'm actually wondering if Scotto is going to actually fit in there when the cage is done.

[@Drunk3nMas7er]

Best spigot bearing trick I was taught was rather than crappy adapters, measure the ID of the hole for the bearing in the flywheel or crank and OD of the of the gearbox spigot and go to a bearing shop and check for listings. If the spigot doesn't engage into the gap into the flywheel, get a wider or even a double row bearing if it needs to come out 10mm past the mounting face.

[@DofNWEnt]

Scotto nonchalantly graftin away at this complicated asf build 💪💪💪

[@IllIIllIIIllIllI]

Scotto is the best boss ever.

[@mamalui]

Love this! On top of this being a cool build I feel like I'm learning a lot. So thanks for the explanations as well!

[@adamjulian_drifts]

Scotto is going with the hardest build possible just to flex on his boys

[@shona5512]

With the adapter plate that changes the VR6 Bolt pattern to the Audi/VW 4cyl bolt pattern, you should be able to bolt a Ford Type 9 gearbox to the VR6 (Found in the Ford Sierra). This is the gearbox we used to convert a 1.8T VW Passat to a RWD.

[@mndlessdrwer]

Dry Sump TL;DR: more oil pumps are used to drain the oil from the pan into a separate reservoir, resulting in a shallower pan and improved oiling since you will never starve the oil pump thanks to the redundancy of the dry sump scavenging design. I had guessed since you mentioned needing to mount as low as possible that a dry sump system might be in that engine's future. That pan looks sick, so I really hope it all works out. It'll make it so much easier to cram that engine into the shallow engine bay of the AE86. I'm also looking forward to the engine rebuild, since you typically need to replace rods and pistons at a minimum in order to boost that thing to crazy performance without accidentally making a bomb. Not sure how much power you can squeeze out of it in a high-compression NA configuration, but I do know you'll need race gas or pure ethanol to keep pre-ignition at bay. Either way it'll be a really fun build. The VR6 is a wild engine design.

[@LocknessRides]

I’m invested mentally in this build! This is gonna be cool

[@southney7211]

Yes Brian. I’m sad you didn’t go for the v5 engine, but I’ll forgive you for using the 24v vr6. I love this build. Btw, how’s the other half’s 944 coming on? Would be great to see her ripping that on track too! Big up 👊

[@Mardy72]

I had a manual vr5 Bora with custom headers and exhaust. It sounded fkn sweet...thing used to have a wail that was not unlike a V10 kinda sound. A lot less power than a V10 tho 🤣 but the thing still sounded great

[@gringocheva1]

About the later model steeringrack, arent it possible to rotate the steel tube and get the fittings pointing downwards? all the gear stuff is in the aluminium housing. I have took some apart and not many have "clocking" detents.

[@johnep403]

Dig it. Vw guy myself and have shared a taste of flavors with scotto myself throughout the years. Although you could bring back the ol school hip hop background music imo.

[@noduh736]

My buddy did a rwd Corrado with a vr6 and he had oil starvation problems when he was going hard in turns but idk all the details and you are a vw nerd so you probably already figured out that problem its gonna be a cool car bro I like the swap choice its different and it's not a common setup I dig it

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

Dry Sump will fix that. Pan design on transverse vs longitudinal is a big factor!

scottos beard is an indication of how far his build moves rn.

[@laborawashere]

I went down the same rabbit hole for a vr6 to RWD conversion, I was wanting to do 3.6L from a Passat CC. I was able to figure out the quick time bell and transmission part and a ancient thread on vwvortex also mentioned the spacer/adapter you are using but was not able to find anyone who made a clutch/flywheel setup so would have had to be all custom at the time I was digging. I also had to look into considerations for the direct injection so was going to have the direct injection deleted and weld the holes shut in the head and run ITBS. The overall height is a serious consideration I hadn't gotten far enough to begin considering, the dry sump should help some for that. Was wanting to put the combo in a Datsun Z as it the VR6 sounds very similar too a I6 but better/faster. :D What displacement is the VR6 you are going to run? (Or what is it from specifically?)

[@ajkr32]

What an epic idea 👌 definitely will be the best sounding AE86 out there maybe some cool ITB set up on the VR6 also 🙏
