We traveled to the Eurotripper show in Fort Myers, FL at JetBlue Park where Daniel and his MK7 3.6 VR6 Swap were on full display! We wanted to hear from Daniel! Why did he want to do this? How did he do this? Was it worth it?! We let him tell the story!

i work on VWs all the time on the side and swapped my mk4 Jetta with r32 engine, im always willing to help locals who have trouble. the VW community is about help, and making other people happy with their builds. i cant say much about other communities because last time i was at a jdm show dudes were pretty cocky when i asked certain questions, and just unfriendly. the hot rod community is like the vw, willing to help and have fun with you. they helped with minor issues i was having with my old mans C10. This guy seems like an honest person.

@Cottontail_GTI 2 года назад

The mk7/7.5 community is a lot more toxic than the mk4/5 community lol. Everyone in my area is stuck up snobs about their cars.

@rigozuniga8096 2 года назад

i know, most are ignorant kids and hopefully they grow up some day. they can still fix that chassis with a simple scan and a sensor. just wait until timing chains go, or figuring why "their OTS tune" starts imploding engines. they will run to write reviews on the forums/facebook groups how its garbage. yet they cant read AFR, or listen to knocking. not my first rodeo.....

Fair play to the guy for swapping the R32 engine with the Passat R36 engine. They've been doing this for quite a while in Europe and one company biTurbo'd it to make close to 800hp.

R36 Passat is a better car honestly a damned shame

@mameritaytequila 2 года назад

I actually bought a 2008 R32 from Danny as my first car. He’s the best out there! I really do recommend his shop for all your vw needs and wants. It’s the pinnacle of vw shops in south Florida, they do an amazing job every time!

@HLife719 Год назад

Wow, Daniel, way to go! We’ve got some things in common. My name is Daniel, too, and I also wanted a Golf 7 with a 3.6 VR6 engine. The German tuner HGP-Turbo built a face lifted 2018 Golf R for me with a twin turbo 3.6, a beefed up DQ500, other RS3 goodies and Audi RS6 brakes (400mm rotors), that just about fit under the 19” OZ Ultraleggera wheels with slight modifications. The car is a lot of fun. Either doing errands or letting it stretch it’s legs on the Autobahn. Thanks for sharing your build and keep up the good work!

@OliverHoffmannDesign 2 года назад

great video DAP. 305vdub is one of the best vw/audi specialists around town. Always a family friendly experience and are super reasonable with pricing. 👍🏻 They’ve done quite some work to my previous 2 VW’s anything from suspension work, to turbo/motor swaps. These guys know their VW’s inside out.

RS3 engine would have been the logical upgrade choice. First problem would be to find a donor car though.

The trans issue is caused because the mk6 Passat has different ratios in the trans. You need a mk7 trans or the gearset out of one and it will run and drive
