This VW Golf R Mk7 was built by MTR Performance and Sar-Turbotechnik in Germany. They replaced the factory turbocharged 2.0 L FSI inline-four with a 2.5 L TFSI inline-five from an Audi RS3. The inline-five produces 591 horsepower (600 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque thanks to a TTE625 turbocharger kit. Power goes to all four wheels through a DSG DQ500 seven-speed transmission and 5th generation 4MOTION four-wheel drive system.

My question is how did you find a left hand drive mk7.5 Golf R? I’m looking all over the place, even debating importing a RHD. Technically 2 door left hand drives should’ve been discontinued before they made it to mk7.5. I need to find one.
Yes, i on the way, to take that engine in to a Seat Leon 1m Cupra with 4 Motion. The Hardware ist so difficult but the softpart is tricky. But i thing hopefully that wie made it. nice Project tahnks from Germany
I LIKE!
Why put in a i5 with 600hp if the 2.0L i4 is definitely capable of pushing 550hp+
Its a cool swap, just dont see the point 😉
The point it that the 2.0 will be a rolling hand grenade a few track visits from going up in a mushroom cloud at those power levels, and on the 2.0, those numbers are at the crank not at the wheels. The 2.0 will die a quick death if you ever manage to get those numbers to the wheels. The 2.5l Daza has been seen to hit 700hp stock with reliably without breaking a sweat. By the time you pay to fully build the 2.0 to hold 550 to the wheels, it’s laggy and no longer a fun daily and your still stuck in the high tens in a gutted car. Oh and you will have then spent what a swap would have cost you to run faster with stock 2.5l engine, transmission and turbo lol. That’s the purpose of the swap!
Don’t forget the small V10 supercar sound, from that amazing 5cyl. I want to get an RS3, or a Golf R/GTi and do the same 2.5 swap. It’ might be a cheaper long term route to go, plus the cool factor of the 5 cyl. swap in a golf. I love the sound of this engine so much. It truly is supercar sounding, plus a supercar killer, with the right mods 🙂
