I'm not trying to be that guy but you should really consider harnesses if you don't have them. 600hp in an mr2 spider with no airbags is a recipe for danger
Hooooly shit! Thats a wild build :D seing Audi/VW parts on the MR2 always feels kind of weird but even more awesome because it does not seem as straight forward for a swap. Definately subbed, I wanna see more :P
Did you fabricate the motor mounts or did you buy them? I would like to do a similar build for time attacks. I would go with the cast iron block 2.8L vr6 bore and striked to 3.0L. Where would suggest to get used vr6 engines? Is the engine you sourced from a v dubr32? Awesome job. Id love to see you using his car in autocross or time attacks or open series race days or practices!
I fabbed my own, and I sourced my engine and gearbox from a TT, which is the same block as the R32 or Touareg. I'd think the best 2.8 source would be from a mid 2000s jetta. Just make sure they're 24v instead of 12v. If I need a new block for mine, I'm gonna use a Touareg block since the R32 ones are rare. Also, all VR6 blocks are cast iron no matter what size if that matters.
The front ones are kinda shown in the second video I posted. Not sure if I'd recommend it unless you've done a full audi electronics swap, and need the hub and sensor design. I'll be doing a video in the future on finishing the air suspension setup that will have more detail on the rear setup.
Both engines are capable of big power, just one sounds better than the other, and has a better dyno curve for both hp and torque. It's all about preference at the end of the day, and I work on VW/Audi as my hobby. I'm not a Honda guy.
@@269GarageSo nicely said ! Your a very motivated talented guy ! Im watching this at least a year after you had posted this and i am hungering to hear more about how it performed on the street or track ? I drove a 450 HP 91 MK2 a few years ago and i was shocked at the grenade curve on throttle. It wasn’t really a fun drive as it was a handful when the turbo was spun up so much power all at once and especially in a 2,700 pound car i cant imagine 600 or 700 HP in that little go cart lots of smiles per mile . I liked and subscribed !

Amazing swap! My wifey won't even let me change the 1zz!
The only reason I was able to persuade this, was she drove a silver TT that I hit a deer with. This donor car was for "spare body panels".
600HP IN THAT LIL CAR XD
you mad lad. I cant even imagine how my mrs would feel with that much power
btw are you going to make a list in the future of the cost for this?
It's terrifying. I have it turned down because I'm not ready for it.
I'm like 25-30k usd in, I was going to do a full build biography later. I may include some form of breakdown on that.
It would feel better than the new Chevy Corvettes
@@OfficialDiatkoMusicEeh. The ZR1's are gonna become weapons.
I despise how many of my ideas you've had. Epic build.
This is a crazy build. Immediately earned my subscription

They are on the list. I'm going to do a roll bar at the same time. I'm not pushing the car until then. Leaving it at an easy 350 for now.
Finally. Imagined this swap before. Awesome. Watching your journey!
Thanks, been a little slow on new uploads lately, but I've got plenty more coming.
Love it I can’t wait to hear it run 😊
Dude!!!!! This is killer!!!
Thanks, I'm excited to see the final product. In my head it's gonna be pretty cool at least haha!
Daaaam bro sick build
Thanks!
This thing is sick
I counted, and I think I said "um" like 48 billion times in this video. I'm working on that.
Where is the ratchet that was used as a plug? Did it finally make it back into the tool box
@Jacob Black It's been properly dealt with. I made a plug finally.
Everyone else does to. Don't worry about. Great video series.
Cool build
Thanks!
Hooooly shit! Thats a wild build :D

Definately subbed, I wanna see more :P
There's been a lot of trial and error to get everything to work and fit, I wish I would have filmed the whole process.
@@269Garage I can imagine!
I want to do a vr6 awd swap in my starlet. This gives me inspiration
One of the best sounding engines
Great job
Thank you!
LOVE THIS.
Thanks! Glad you do. It's getting better by the day!

It's just brilliance
I love this build, amazing work!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Why not use a porchè sequential transmission?
Longitudinal vs transverse layout
It's different - but love this unique build!
Well its been at least a year or more does it still run ? Has it done anything like racing or is it just a incredible street car ?
It still runs, it's just a street car for now
Would love to see the knuckle setup. Sounds like a game changer for the spyder.

What are knuckles
The hunk of cast iron that connects to all of the suspension components and wheel hub. Or the red guy from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Awesome!
Was there a mechanical reason for extending the wheelbase, or was it a stylistic thing?
Stylistic mostly and ease of installation and removal of the drivetrain. I can pull it in less than an hour, or 3 beers.
@269Garage Gotcha! So it would've been possible to fit the vr6 and kept the wheelbase the same?
Yeah it's been done documented one other time on youtube
Noice! Subbed.
Thank you!
thats alooooot o work
It was indeed. Too much actually.
Nice Caaa
how much in total did you spend on the car? i plan on doing this but on the 1991 mr2 with a lotus evora engine and turboing it
Turbo kit was about half of it with about $25k total. Could be done for well under 20 with a custom turbo setup. Car was $5k when I bought it.
@@269Garage sounds great man, i hope things go well with the car and id love to hear a start up and some pulls in the car
Thanks, I will definitely post with pulls once it's back on its feet.
Subbed
👍
Thanks for the comment!
That intro music just blew my fucking speakers
Must be pushing some major watts.
Baby R8
If only I could get my hands on a tesla motor for the front wheels.
my buddy had mr2 spider k24 built motor and big turbo making 800hp in mr2 spider
i think you messed up on engine choice

Looks just dumb and I mean that as just stupid and I mean that in the most insane crazy and awesome way possible
