I appreciate the shout out! You've did very well on the cost!! See you at Helen!
Can't wait!
It doesn't matter. Nothing beats the awesome music 🎶 from a VR6 engine. Worth the money!!
Should bring back the VR6 at the very least offer it as an option for enthusiasts who still rather have a VR6 instead of the four banger popcorn 🍿 fart machines!!
Well said! Unfortunately I don’t think the VR6 will ever come back in the states 😢
@Ninety4co Unfortunately, you're right 😢. I owned a MK4 R32 and it was supercharged lost it in a flood in 2012 it had only 28K miles on it went to plenty of shows at English Town NJ, VW and AUDI show and go and WATERFEST, I miss those shows I'm hoping to pick one up a VR6 something, a GTI 24V VR6 or maybe MK5 R32, a 2018 PASSAT GT VR6 or the EOS convertible VR6. As long as it's a VR6 😅. Have fun at the show in May
I appreciate the content and all the good information you’ve been so willing to provide. Very helpful, and much needed in the car community. Keep it up, I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more content.
That’s what the VW community is all about!
love the video man!
Appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for the shoutout Chobey. I’m just trying to finish up some last minute things on my Mk6. I’ll see that Friday at the Mk6 meetup.
THERE HE IS!
Nice can't wait for up coming videos 😲👍
Thanks! More to come soon, thinking about doing a vid in Helen.
I hope it's worth every dollar spent. Thanks for the video!
Oh it definitely is. Thanks for watching!
VR swap the world❤
Yessir 😎
love the build man, and the heart put into it! as for cosmetics though, what side skirts are those? i really like how they go up the wheel well a bit in the rear. the futuras are so hot too!!
Thanks! They’re OEM thunderbunny skirts off of a mk5. Last I checked VW still has a few sets in their dealer network collecting dust in a warehouse.
@@Ninety4co very cool!
@@nickd7572 I’m actually selling them now if you’re interested. DM me on IG.
All things considered, the price after all the stuff you sold is really solid for a swap as comprehensive and clean as yours imo. Like you said, can't put a price on your dream car, but yours was fair! It definitely pays to know your stuff
Honestly I’m very pleased with the financial outcome. $4100 +/- for a one of a kind car that otherwise doesn’t exist is a W in my book. Very proud to be able to do it all myself.
Assume build bro huge thumps up👍👍 this is the type of swap i want to do to my 2012 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI
Thanks Man! You can do it!
Comparatively speaking, that's not a lot more than I spent on my Mk4 24v VR swap ($3000 with a lot of rebuild parts) especially considering how much more work you had to do. Well done! Wish I could make it to Helen this year.
Overall I’m very happy with the final cost. Vr swap the world!
Sucked to only see this for a little bit at Wookies, but worth every second
Will you be at Helen this year?
Thanks for the breakdown! You said $50 for the headlights... from where the junkyard?
From a marketplace ad for a mk6 partout
@@Ninety4co haha nice
What fault lights did you get and how did you get rid of them..
Pretty much all of them! ABS, traction, brake, airbag lights were all on for ABS faults related to the Passat ECU looking for a TCM. Coding took care of that.
Engine light was on for a number of sensors. Some sensors were no longer there, some sensors were bad, and some needed more rewiring. So coding, replacing parts, and wiring took care of all that. The dash is has no lights on it now.
Cani know your rs seat is it plug and play ?
They bolt it without any modifications, but they have to be completely rewired.
So that exhaust shown is the vibrant one you we spoke about? Part number please
No sir, that vibrant one is off the car and for sale along with the old quad tips
@@Ninety4co ohhhh I can’t use that style because I’m still a 4 door so I need 2 separate mufflers I was just curious as to what’s gonna sound fhe best but seams like exhaust styles like that sound the best with vr6’s
Really not that bad considering some places will charge double if not more to do a similar swap and awd conversion. 🤷🏽♂️ (based off the 10k that is)…
Exactly! I’m still trying to formulate what I’d charge if a customer wanted me to do their car
Sadly its the only way that makes sense to mess with. If you're not doing the labor yourself, and don't have access to wholesale vendor pricing, you're going to be coughing up a shit ton in parts and the labor can easily become catastrophic. Even the best shops run into wiring, fueling, ecu issues, etc. I would love to do this with one of my vdubs but I am afraid of the various pitfalls.
@@chozen_juan like I mentioned, only a small amount of the stuff I bought was purchased at wholesale, and the discounts are slimmer than you think. A majority of the stuff I got I paid retail for/I bought used.
I also understand I could have bought a low mileage used engine and saved thousands (not having to replace as much) but part of the fun was tearing the VR all the way down.
Bay shave was another item that was unnecessary and could Be cut out to reduce time/cost.
Do my Mk6 gli next! 😂
Swap it? If you’re serious DM me on either IG @chobester / @ninety4.co
Can't hide money
🪦 to the 🐐
Rule #1: Never add it all up 😹
Well hopefully now people out there wondering if it’s work it are equipped with more info now.
@@Ninety4co yeah man for sure. It's great information, was just making a joke about totaling up build costs :)
@@gbot.thebot oh I know! Never adding it up again 😂😂
If you're bored and want to start a new project i will take the loss and trade you my 2006 rabbit for your mk6 😂
You drive a hard bargain 👀
Money can't buy happiness with a lame 4-banger ..
Now with that wookie six-pack you definately get more smiles per miles ..
No hate towards 4cyls, mine was very good to me! But for what I want out of the car it can’t hold a candle to the VR
