So satisfying to watch. The Mk7 GTI already makes great power for FWD with the stock turbo (or IS38 turbo) and a tune, but if I had the Golf R I would be dreaming about doing this in the future.
I completely agree. I have a 2015 GTI right now, wanting to do a stage two APR tune on a Golf R which I plan to purchase in the next year, and having a secon car, either a E36 or E46 to play around/thrash around. I used to have an E36 m3 which was a conversion car from a 318IS with a german spec m3 engine in it, thing was insanely fast and professionally done. I miss it. I think the golf R with a stage 2 tune would satisfy my speed, but i'd also be more careful with it as its more valuable than any e36. Thanks for spinning my mind wheels a bit! lol
From one editor to another; this was a great video. I appreciate the work put into the sound design and minimal style. If this much care is put into your videos I can only assume it is also put into your products. You can frame this if you want.
Perfection at work...Excellent production. KUDOS!!! Thumbs down? 30 year old losers playing video games in grandma’s basement with no idea what it’s like to build something. Thanks APR!!!
I feel like the people at APR are obsessive compulsive perfectionists with a passion for smooth performance. I love it! Already went stage 1 & intake on my A3. Can't wait to go stage 2... then IS38... then.... I can't control myself!
APR makes "I'n my humble opinion some of the best products for the sport luxury European car to date".and truth be told I don't have a single APR product on my build I wasn't fortunate enough to had found stock
Fully build a gen 1 2.0 tsi ccta engine and I will buy that sucker. My 2009 passat would love a bullet proof engine. With how much I hammer the car and spank limiter and push so boost through it I think I could use some forged internals. So far no issues except I blew the trans and now I'm saving to swap it to a manual
Hmm... He may have installed it in the wrong order when he installed the exhaust cam. Thought you can't install the exhaust cam on the head during assembly where you need to put it on the cover instead. Intake cam is ok, but exhaust is a no-no. Noticed how it moved when he popped the cover on?
Touching the bearings with his fingers, spinning the rings over the head.. Didn't check end-play on the crank.... These are not things pro's do!! Wear gloves! Use your ring expander! :P Great vid, building engines never gets old.
It would appear that the exhaust cam shaft was not installed as per Volkswagen’s recommendation. Slides have to be adjust to small cam profile before the cam is installed to avoid damage. I’m surprised this was missed
Plus, exhaust cam should be installed in cover, then the cover should be applied to the head. What was done here, it seems, is exactly what Volkswagen suggest not to do. Very surprising that this could be missed by APR. they should have sprung for the engine repair manual.
I have noticed the size of piston oil rings... No engine oil consuption here... VW engineers have failed big time on previous gen of engines EA888. Ofcourse these are forged HQ aftermarket pistons but they have no excuse for that fail. At this cost you could include ARP bolts on main bearings...just saying :) Awesome build BTW!
No one else compares to APR I have a stage 3 plus mk4 GTI and have been using apr for along time. There is nothing else that compares everything about them is amazing
If the guy building the engine is watching this....fancy coming round mine and earning some extra cash on the side....shit man....I won't say nothing 😂😂👍👍 quality workmanship.
Can I buy this dude to keep in my trunk? Do you’ll do any different variants of the motor? What are they rated at once built? Does the transmission require any strength for your turbo kit? Thanks
Anyone else wonder how much extra work would have to be done to put this in a non mqb car, like the mk6 gli? 2014 it came with a gen 3 just not the one from the mqb cars.. typically vw lol
I drive an 18 DSG Golf R but for the price of this engine I could just upgrade to an RS3 which I'll eventually do for the price difference. Your looking at around $21k dollars for the turbo upgrade and motor build and another $10k for the upgraded DSG sportsman+ clutch packs. Paying for the name too people. Granted I'm a Stage 2 R but I still wouldn't be foolish enough to spend money like this on my car to get it this fast and powerful. It's better to just upgrade the car 😉
Mr Red It depends what one aims for. RS3 has a reputation of an understeering monster. Tuned Golf R on the other hand has greater ‘surprise’ factor in a drag race than an Audi RS3 and certainly is faster through corners.
MrThePrivateer I agree provided that the engine which you're installing has similar weight and size. Otherwise you're inducing further weight imbalance of a car. If you're after 1/4 mile time only, then you will be most probably fine. If going fast through corners is your story - rather not. Weight is often highly underestimated in tuning. If one takes a look at performance cars, hillclimb ones for example, it becomes obvious that the lightest and the most balanced are the fastest. Of course it's not that 700kg 150hp machine is going to beat 400hp 1400kg (both rwd) but the more twisty and narrow the road - the closer time it sets.
Hello, APR team. Great video. This set up is for Stage 3+ , is not it? Only for North America. Am i correct. Not for Europe to this moment My Skoda VRS is Stage IS38 APR. May be in future this Rebuilding Engine set up will be available and for Skoda and May be for Europe.
Breaking fasteners loose with split beam torque wrench.. torquing fasteners in a circle pattern. Saw head nut being torqued, looks like head stud was ran down with cordless drill to name a few. lot of bad practices here. No thanks.

Zombie Head the engine is only around $4,000
Zombie Head Nope the whole project would probably be around 12k.
Zombie Head this will be my project car, my daily will be a v10 Touareg.
Damn straight he built that with pride
I don’t know why, but this is seriously relaxing to watch.
This was so satisfying to watch

Dear Santa, I've been very, very good this year. All I want is an APR MBQ Crate Engine for my GTI, and not another lump of coal.
Thanks apr, please do more of these
I still want one!

That's awesome, great work as always
Beautiful. Nice work guys!
Great video!! Love my APR products on my S3!
I am dreaming of this being my EA888...one day...one day...
WOW... that’s like a piece of art!!
I have disassembled an engine but reassembling it like that I don't think I would be able to do so but with training I would be able to do it.
Very fine tuned experienced hands

Is this the reason so many had issues? I've heard about the apr blocks but never really got am answer
Beautiful job
So satisfying 🤤
11 minutes of happiness.
I want you guys to build my B8 A4. There's not enough support for my car.
Excellent work! Well done...

Amazing
Gorgeous
Wow, this is exactly what i want! Automotive car p0rn precision!
Sad that APR doesn't do these anymore ...
No one else compares to APR I have a stage 3 plus mk4 GTI and have been using apr for along time. There is nothing else that compares everything about them is amazing
Even all the engines they have had die?
EQT is better
What kind of power can they handle usually?
Can’t wait for a long block for my b9 A4. I’m thinking a 4.2l or a 2.5t
I want one so bad!
I like videos #teamthanos @thanoseldios @rmcqueen27
Too good.. Plzz help me in track ur playing in background...
This is so cool to watch. I don’t see the engines on the website anymore for sale?!!?
If the guy building the engine is watching this....fancy coming round mine and earning some extra cash on the side....shit man....I won't say nothing 😂😂👍👍 quality workmanship.
I love this video.
Nice production, interesting..............plastic oil pan, why because oil runs cooler than with steel pan.
Very nice , muy chingones
Why don’t APR offer these any more? can’t find anything online?
Did you guys use Nujabes for the background music?
Great video. Can you guys do engines from markets outside USA (Australia). There seems to be minimal EA888 expertise down under.
What are the rods & pistons you use, they look like IE pieces?
Jaw dropping!!!!
Can I buy this dude to keep in my trunk? Do you’ll do any different variants of the motor? What are they rated at once built? Does the transmission require any strength for your turbo kit? Thanks
Where's the pricing for this? I clicked the product page link but not finding any prices for long or short block
They don't sell it anymore. If you are looking for a built block look into pagparts or a2b
I learned how to retime the engine from this ahahaha
Anyone else wonder how much extra work would have to be done to put this in a non mqb car, like the mk6 gli? 2014 it came with a gen 3 just not the one from the mqb cars.. typically vw lol
Mark Demarsico Pretty sure you can build your engine to same spec
I need this on my Golf R, sadly I live in South America
No arp main or rod studs ?
What dose something like this cost someone

can you do that to 1.8 l in the vw polo 6c gti ?interested in this .
@APR what’s the deal with these engines self destructing in under 2k miles ?
proof? or slander?
Badass
How much for the crate engine?
all that work and they use the stock plastic oil pan? I guess it's fine
Is that block at 10:00 the core? Love the video, well done!
What are the specs on this motor, how much different from stock.
Any chance this can be offered for the fsi bpy engine?
Will this be available in the UK?
Didn't get to see it run. :(
Damn my baby needs that therapy, do you have dealers in Johannesburg South Africa?
For what hp/tq levels is this setup rated?

Exactly what i was thinking. safer to build yourself
no way that torque wrench is accurate anymore
Most of the APR blocks end up smoking at an early age.

proof?
@@booyah602able proof please!
How much?
This is MQB platform only? I have a MKVI.

yes
This makes me want to switch to APR
They dont make this anymore because they asplode. So dont bother.
Nice engine, what's the retail on one of those?
Josh Riles more than you want to know
ARP sign on mandrel for pistons. mistake?

ARP is a different company. They make our rod bolts and head stud conversion. The best in the industry for bolts.
