The Ultimate SLEEPER? Volkswagen with a VOLVO engine! (The GolVo)

- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Sleepers just aren't something you see a ton of anymore so when we saw this GTI running 8's at Doorslammers in the UK we knew we had to go see what it was under the hood. We were very impressed by just how well put together this car was! With a Volvo motor and AWD conversion this thing can move!

He’s super understated about what a huge amount of work this was.
Champ.
Perfectly british .......well apart from the other stuff. ;)
So SO right.
Honestly, my favorite mk3 golf ever, it's just perfect!
I second that. Dope build.
Hell yeah it is!
My kind of build. Clean, simple, but an absolute monster. 🔥
Idk about simple lol
clean,but theres nothing simple about it..its a feat of engineering brilliance
That swap actually makes a lot of sense....and I own a 4 door mk4 chassis, a buddy of mine has a totaled 2005 Volvo S60 turbo (rear end hit) he said he would give me for free, I'm sure I can find a 4motion system at the junkyard. Add a haltech elite 2500 and bobs your uncle. I needed a new project so, that was absolutely PERFECT timing. Thanx boys!!! If you wanna feature it, I'm in Reno Nevada. I'm sure I'll be done in 14-15 months or so.
Sounds like a good project that is feasible to accomplish. Perhaps consider, examine, investigate a FuelTech [FT 450, 550, 600] compared to the HalTech - more advanced, complete, more options and seriously consider, examine, investigate especially adding a "Flex-Fuel" sensor, using high ethanol content fuel for racing especially. If You have the capability with comprehension, understanding also examine the video and components necessary for water injection which accomplishes oxygen boost for more power - see expert David Vizard - his video is listed as "octane boost" though within the explanation, details it is clearly, certainly oxygen boost.
Also recall this owner stated the VW, Audi 5 cylinder was not yet available when he did this swap; that would certainly be more directly usable in the VW. There are other five cylinder options as the GM Vortec top.
All the Best, Sincerely
Best of luck
Trust me, you'll want to buy a 4 motion MK4 chassis instead. They exist from the factory and aren't rare. The amount of work to make a proper 4WD conversion is ridiculous, when you can just buy it and just swap in an engine.
I know because I own a Mk1 Leon (literally a mk4 golf) and looked into 4wd swapping it. Instead I ended up saving months of work by just buying a factory 4WD chassis.
@@MultiSilver3000 WE can agree that the 4Motion may be suitable, usable, available, accessible connects well with either the Volvo or Audi engine easily. However, why should i "trust' You" specifically individually ??!! Good Luck, All The Best, Sincerely
You don't have to. I researched this years ago. Saving you the hassle. I have built a fully forged 1.8T MK1 Leon 4 motion.
Converting the FWD chassis to 4WD is too much hassle when you can just buy a factory chassis instead. It makes little sense.
Awsome to see 1320 here in the UK
THANK YOU so much for covering this car! what a brilliant little sleeper! i've owned multiple 5-cylinder quattro Audis and multiple 5-cylinder AWD Volvos.. as well as a black 1995 MkIII Golf --- this car looks like a mash up of all of them! Totally right up my alley.. i would've killed for a car like this 10 or 15 years ago. the owner seems like a super cool dude, too... glad to see the car seems to be in good hands, and i'm glad he's really driving it and enjoying it, and kicking some ass on the track along the way. Please continue to cover interesting builds in future videos!
Proud to see the Golvo on the 1320 channel following it for a quite a while now, and what a motivation he is .Thumbs op to the owner
I heard the motor first and said: "TTRS/RS3 Swapped."
He popped the hood and my jaw dropped. Really unique swap.
Gotta love the Volvo white block. Takes mods well and is personally my favorite sounding engine. I have a T5 and N/A version, the N/A ends up sounding super exotic lol
I just paraphrased you in my comment bro
Ever since I heard those Swedes with the drift 240 wagon from 10+ years ago. That thing had my jaw on the floor
Best engine volvo ever made.
@@raidkoastthe t6 is also a great engine, and the redblock. Volvo just can’t make bad engines ;)
Love it. Not many lovers of the prancing moose.
5 bangers sound so good.
Which 5 banger is he using though did it say? Volvo has a couple very good 5 cylinders
@@undergroundriptiles70052.3 from 850
Had a suspicion I would see you in the comments here 😂
Hope you are well mate
@@undergroundriptiles7005 2.3t5 for sure, other than that i can believe 950 hp D5 block, 2.4t5 are rare af
@@Dssfox 2.3 t5 with sleeves, rods, pistons.
Is similar to K series 😂
Can we take a second to appreciate this gentleman giving us figures in imperial units for us Americans!
Honestly, probably one of the most interesting cars that I've seen on this channel in a long time.
Such an overlooked car the mk3 Golf I love this thing. Can only imagine the looks it gets when its passing things on the road
Thats the best sounding 5pot going imo, sounds mega, nice to see you guys over here seeing what talent we have.
CRAZY!!!!
Been jizzing over the dyno vid of this car since I stumbled upon it a month ago. Made me so keen to see how it moves on road !! Here I am now
He seems like such a genuine dude! I wanna visit the uk someday for sure! Such a badass car too🫡
I'm a diehard early vw guy. Love the sleepers.
As someone who grew up in a Volvo family (albeit older RWD ones) I do love when the Volvo 5cyl engines get utilized, amazing build, looks so clean and even looks like a stock car on lowering springs, great sleeper build. ^^
Also, technically.. it could kinda sound like a VW, but it's the MK4 Golf that has the V5(VR5) option, they had the 2.3 10v (150hp) or 20v(170hp) as an option in the early 2000s VW in Germany, so you could get a 5cyl VW New Beetle technically, but only as FWD, you could however get the Bora/Jetta, Passat, and Golf with AWD and 5cyl engine, it's just as they changed their AWD system though, so I never remember if they're the last Syncro versions or first 4motion versions.
He mentioned the Fiat 5cyl engine, and the obvious Audi one, but people forget that the US had a couple 5cyl cars we didn't get in Europe.
Acura with the Vigor, either 2.0 or 2.5 5cyl engines, so G20A or G25A.
And the giant ones, that were options in the Chevy Colorado and Hummer H3, the L52 which was 3.5 liter, and the LLR, which was 3.7 liter, I've never really found anything specific, but I've always wondered if those were just too big to swap into a smaller car
I have a mk4 vr6 2.8 24v, and its a 4motion system.
Haldex/4motion from first S3
@@godlyname8544I'd love to have one of those. I have a mk4 Jetta vr6 12v but we never got 4motion in the states
@@lightdot459 Its cool car, i got it for the sounds.
The mk4 Golfs were the first to switch to 4motion. The last syncro golf was the mk3 vr6 2.9 syncro :)
A very rare car most people dont even know exists in the UK!!
Cool build! Ive got a black 96 mk3 16v sitting in my garage since 2018, I really should finish it one day...
Welcome to the UK, what a sleeper that GolVo is.
The Volvo 5 cylinder is a great engine for swapping into other cars. I've seen some people even putting them in Nissan 240s keeping them rwd of course. Great motor for drifting too.
endless torque and from really low down too, an absolute unit of an engine
@@adamcarolan5884 I like to think of them as opposite of a Honda dohc. Very tall and built to develop loads of torque at low rpms. Probably because of the taller con rods. Where as Honda builds short engines designed to rev high and make max power at high rpms.
I love the golvo and have seen it evolve over the years at santapod, what a beast.
Seen this car live at Santa Pod and my god does it shift! 🔥
Thanks for coming to Europe and getting footage for us here in Canada/US ! 🙏
One of the cleanest swaps I’ve ever seen… no chance I’m hell I would’ve guessed it was a Volvo engine!?! It sounds great, and rips!🤜🏻🤛🏻
Great to see you guys over in the UK again, welcome back 👍
that cars abit of a Uk legend
Been waiting for this feature, one of my favourite cars on the scene!
Ive never paid much attention to volvos in the past, but 5 years ago i purchased a 2000 volvo s70. Its only fwd and NA, but its so fun to drive. I could imagine the awd turbocharged models would be even more so! And very low maintenance on the mechanical side. Volvo gang for life!!!
5 cylinders didn't get the love here in the states until recently with the Audi offerings in the last half decade.
They really so sound amazing and nothing beats an inline
I would love to see him at Tx2k roll racing Vetts n Vipers. The looks on the faces😮😮😮
He could make one hell of a living on the streets with that sweeper
UK have really underrated and fast hatch backs out there. Wish I could bring one to america
Santa Pod always has crazy VW’s… pretty sure the RS3 swapped cargo van was there too
Aww man that thing is awesome! Super clean and very unique!
What do you mean it’s hard to find sleepers? Their everywhere just look for the beadlocks,slicks,turbo out the hood,cage,parachute, Kirkey seat, but with factory paint or patina. That’s what everyone is calling a “sleeper” these days😂
Turbo out the hood aint no sleeper 😂
@@ballstothewall38 I know. Most of these “sleepers” aren’t sleepers.😂
Yea, you can do a full racecar minus a livery and as long as its not widebody or full of aero it’s a “sleeper”
Like anyone would see drag slicks, a full cage, and that loud of exhaust note and straight-cut gears, and go “yea thats a stock golf” lmao
I’m deceased 😂💀
@@re5onance244ok, but the concept of "sleeper" is because you see the car stopped, and you can't understand that it has 950hp of power like this.
definitely this apparently is a lowered golf with some rims, if you look inside, you can already suspect something, but even so it could very well be a 400hp car as there is nothing that identifies it as hoosier or mt tires, beadlocks, intercoolers or turbos on display, exhaust coming out of the hood and so on.
walking, no sleeper is really a sleeper unless it's slow.
Engine looks like right at home in that engine bay. Very clean!
that car is legit, one of the few VW's I actually like
I need that GTI in my life!!!😮
Joe seems to be the nicest bloke to geek up about a sleeper engine. Get in there ma son 🚀🚀🚀
We swedes know our stuff
For sure
New Swedes or real Swedes'?
You guys also know your metal
@@tiaraguy7705my man.
1000 sweds ran through the weeds chased by 1 Norwegian. 😂 from a square head
Thats a perfect modified car. Absolutely superb.
Nothing like a 8sec golf and having a foot pump as one of your tools
That’s sick. Looks amazing. Should have showed the set up under the hood a little more. Guy did a beautiful job.
Volvo inline 5's being slept on hard, in the shadow of big German inline 5's. Nice to see one Volvo 5 seeing daylight in big media 👀
The volvo i5 sound more meaty, the Audi one is more raspy. Both great engines, the parts for the 2.2t from audi are really rare nowadays. Last year I wanted to buy a 2.2t for a audi 80swap, but the guy asked 4000$ for the engine only or 6000$ for everything (Gearbox, instalation, ecu ect.)
@@godlyname8544A lot of people don't know, but the old Audi 5cil shares pretty much everything with the 4cil EA827. and the ea827 is the most modified engine in Brazil and Europe, so you only need to import it to North America.
Maybe it's for the best that the Volvo 5 is kept in the shadow.. 😂That is some wicked prices
Not slept on in sweden, theyve been swapped into lots of different cars, and there's plenty of after market parts. And its cheap!
@@garagecedric ssshh don't let the rest of the world know 🫣
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver, and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)
It's no longer a story that the world is experiencing a global economic downturn, I'm so happy that I've been receiving $64,000 from my $15,000 investment every 8 days
@@RicardoRodriguez55618Please, how do I go about it? am still a newbie on investment trading.
@@Elizabeth77360The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mrs Lori Jean Jarema. I got recommended to her, and since then, my financial life has been a success.
Since I started my investment of $7,000 with Mrs Lori, I am now having $29,450 in my portfolio.
@@JamieLynn41 I have also been trading with her, The profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. I made up to $560,000 in months trading with her.
That's the car I want but I'd paint it white or beige and put a fish badge on the back . perfect
Great to see you guys over in the UK !!!
Joe's Golf is insane !!! 🔥🔥
This thing is Sick 🔥
Nice to see you back in uk. Let’s hope your equipment doesn’t get robbed this time around 😢
Someone stole his stuff?
Nice to see you guys over here in the UK ❤
Great sleeper ! - Those Volvo T5 and T6 engines are fab 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome sleeper 👌
awesome to see you guys here in the uk! santa pod is by far the best drag strip here! an the kestrel beer they have his bloody lovely!
Finally the Santapod videos are here!!
Favorite car ever on the channel
I love how you can hear the straight cut gears in the distance
No way! 1320 at my home drag strip at Santa Pod!? Welcome!
Volvo 5cyl turbo 4wd man this thing ticks a lot of lovely specs 🙏🏻 insane car 🔥
So good to see you guys over here 👌
Those kind of sleepers are the best, that thing is GNARLY!
Hell yeah!! That white block doing work.
Using the foot pump. Gotta love it.
Wooo! That venue is basically in my back yard.
I own a white turbo mk3 jetta myself. The car is so much fun to drive.
This Golvo remind´s me of my first car. I luv it so much, it´s absolute sick
1:54 the golf is badass but that little ramp truck is sick
some guy years ago in the York area had a matt black old style beetle with a big bhp volvo engine in and that was a sleeper!
insane lil weapon,169mph no chute them brakes are good.
I am in love with that car
950!!! That’s amazing.
Nice build!
Finally a VW I can appreciate.
Those Volvo engines sound so good.
Pretty cool you can go that fast with no nhra crap to follow
Since 2008. Maaan that will hurt if it lets go in the future. That engine has history.
Great to see 1320 in England 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love that you've done a feature on the golvo!
The Volvo 5 cylinder is an under rated engine. The drivetrain however, it was a good idea to go with the AWD drivetrain from VW. Volvo's transfer case, or angle gear we call, it is weak.
Bit weird see video based at home in the UK...... sick mk3 aswell!!!
This was my favorite body style.
Always great seeing this, there was a mk3 VR6 at the same meet the only difference on the outside was a VR6 badge rather than the GTI one on this.
What an incredible car
I Appreciate the content from England 1320 👍👍🏴🏴
Yeah love the Golvo. It’s a SleEper though, not a SlePper ;)
Love seeing you at Santa Pod. Been going there since I was a kid and have been watching your videos for years. Shame I didn’t see you there!
sounds like a little monster, awesome
That was amazing. Love that VW
Kind of reminds me of the old Dahlback Golf. Thar wouldve been in the 2008 or so as well. But it had a North/South engine swap crom an Audi. 2.2 litre amd 830 horse or thereabouts
That thing is nice as hell
Volvo ❤️ 1320 You should realy come back to sweden this summer for sthlm open ✌️
You have to be at usc santa pod 4th-6th august some seriously quick cars that weekend 💯👍
Syncro rear beam with Haldex gen 1. Checks out. My favorite way to AWD a VW.
I need more details, volvo guys are always so quick to tell you about the overview of the build but never give specifics...
If you search Golvo T5 on here (UA-cam), you find more infos.
This reminds me of the dubsport mk3 here in the UK. Baby blue twin engine mk3.
That is nuts. Wow! That is a tazmanian devil.
There we go! santa pod stuff! Europe is full of sleepers, in every country there is plenty.
love to see a i5 like the vw 07k in a mk3 but to see a volvo engine that looks that good in the bay is amazing
07k in Europe, it doesn't have, unfortunately...
@@tiagoabreu4107 oh Europe never got that engine? That's too bad
@@nutsack never 😂
But 07k has potential
Thats one heck of a sleeper. I look forward to more videos from my local strip.
