Can We Build the Fastest 1/4 mile Car for $5000? ~ JDM vs Euro Episode 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ส.ค. 2024
- What is faster a JDM car, or a European car? The battle of "who is the fastest" is a long debated one. So @GearsandGasoline challenged me to a $5000 drag race build! We are building the fastest VW we can for $5000. Both cars will run 1/4 race and the fastest 1/4 wins! This is part 1 of a 4 part series to see who can build the fastest car for $5000!

“What’ll make this thing fast?”
80 psi of boost! 🧨
It only needs to 1/4 mile once.🤷🏻♂️
Ikr? Gap the shit out of the rings and send it
Just be sure to be ready to throw it in neutral real quick. Ha ha
it only needs to last 1/4 mile :-)
this comment held up well.
Maybe the rods would make it to the finish line 🤔 didn’t say the whole car needed to finish the race
"There may also be some things that we are willing to do that aren't necessarily by the repair manual" lol.
Something Every person that grew up without money has said. And any car person that has modified a car.

i shoved some paper clip bits into a fog-light connector last night. now my gti has working fog lights again. 🙂
Only the Germans could conceive of an engine with both a timing chain and a timing belt, and then put them on opposite ends of the engine
On what used to be a 25-30k car lol
German automotive engineers seem to have lots of "halte mein bier" moments.
truth
German Engineers: Making mechanics rethink their paths in life since 1885.
And the belt outlasts the chain, somehow...
Ko4, open down pipe, boost controller, fuel pump, injectors, tune
Why does everybody use k04 in VW and audis ? We throw those away since they come factory in the Mazdaspeeds they're too small
@@carlossantamaria7967 They're an easy ready to bolt on mod to push more boost than the K03.
@@carlossantamaria7967 I guess I agree but correct me if I'm wrong: It's not like Honda kits where you can buy a fat wutang whistle for $90 on ebay right? Anything bigger than a ko4 is gonna be much more $$ on a euro car
Certain VAG K04s flows more than the Mazda K04 (they really aren’t the same at all). Certain 2.0 also have a better head than the disi so they can flow the same or more with a smaller size turbo.
I installed a Frankenturbo kit to replace my blown mk4 GLI stock turbo. It's spools slow, the compressor wheel looks much stronger but that fatty needs a turbo for its turbo. If my turbo wasn't cracked and I was turning the car into a drag racer, I'd upgrade the watergate and DV on the stock turbo. Put the saved money into stiffening the suspension and sways up. Doesn't matter how much hp and torque you have if the tires are spinning and hopping.
With those red calipers, all it needs is a few stickers and it'll be fast as hell.
Like Jeese Jetta
Since this is a "one time fast" car, you should port the intake and exhaust so there is barely any material left! == FREE
When you did the rag thing with the oil I was immediately like "that mechanic is about to get humbled"
Hahah it does happen
Does the whole car have to be fast? Or just flying engine parts
@@HumbleMechanic always consult your lawyer before you agree to anything
Should definitely do a manual swap, bro
Dont worry it's only an auto 🤣🤣🤣
glad I subscribed to these 2 channels.
Why? It's not an automatic transmission... And its superior to a manually shifting person. To win this drag race a DSG is the smart way to go especially since stock VW clutch would get shredded with any type of power increase.

Should've went cheap AUDI Quattro as well.
Dubbing over the Benz was the best choice you could make.
"Stinger tips and 58 horsepower" LOL

Yeah, I remember multiple stinger tipped beetles that were very quick at the Bug ins. High 9s or low 10s.
16:16 I really like the determination in his voice
K04 turbo upgrade and a tune. 3” down pipe. That’s what I used to run in my mk5 Gti. Good for 320hp at the wheels
Had to upload at the same time as gears and gasoline….. but it was easy to choose what to view first :)

Pretty awesome that Advance Auto Parts is partnering on this series. Remember you can save with this code Humble.. EASY!
Can I use in store?
@Madian Banegas word...good deal!
@humblemechanic Why didn’t you attempt a 1.8t mk4 with a better cam, turbo etc instead of a mk5 (arguably the worst gen of golf/jetta)
@@thomasmcc3931 Thats just like...your opinion man
Mine wins. I have a MK7R that's imported from Japan to the UK. JDM and Euro 😎
I always watch German mechanics in awe; the sheer determination, will, patience is beyond human comprehension. Working on German cars makes me wish I had taken up sewer cleaning or taxidermy or something else as a hobby.
Hahahha when you know it, it’s easy. When you don’t. Man buckle up
At home dentistry or cleaning a septic tank with a tooth brush all sound less painful.
@@bandwagon240 HAHHAHAHA But taste about the same.
@@HumbleMechanic Fair point.
i dunno, i've owned 12 vws over the years, and i refuse to own anything else after one of the older ones saved my ass in a nasty t-bone crash. and my hands are the only ones allowed to put them together. they come to me as a shell, and i built the entire thing. but, my family came from germany, so it might help...
You need NAWZZ. One of the big blue bottles... no, let's make it two. Tell Harry you need it by tonight.
The blue point gasket scraper at 23:18 is the best purchase I've made in years I feel like. Great work on the video!
This is going to be a fun series to watch! Don’t forget the instant HP gained from adding stickers and a dab of touch up paint from the fastest color. And Paul missed an important phrase to the end of “If you’re not cheating you’re not trying”. It should end “and if you get caught, you’re not trying hard enough.” 😆 Good luck guys!
Don’t tell g+g but that happens in so 4
Also hahaha yesss get caught you weren’t cheating enough
Early 90s Honda civic hatch with an rsx type s engine would be cheapest way to go very fast!
yeah, mostly because it weighs about 12 pounds. a briggs and stratton in one of those is perky
@@ghomerhust umm no🚗
But these guys are building a Euro car.
Wow I love these videos. I picked up a mk6 gti with the chains, guides, ballance shafts and tensioner already done for $4k. I've already done a CTS downpipe, a stage 3 clutch, Integrated engineering intake and A Cobb accessport with a stratified stage 2 tune. It feels awesome. Next will be a CTS turbo K04x.
Now this a (check 80/90s lingo) banger of an episode. You both nailed this start to a new series.
Thanks dude... Bangers all night. HA
If this had been a couple of years ago, clapped-out, rusted-out (pretty much all '02's and many '03's) C32 AMGs could be had for around $3k. BPU (pulley, tune, heat exchanger upgrade) makes them solid high-12s cars. And the engine and trans in them are bulletproof. No air/hydro suspension, either. Like every other car though, prices have ballooned on them now, assuming you can even find one for sale.
They were pretty uncommon to being with. I personally would look at a C230 Kompressor with the M111 engine, turbo manifold & big turbo, injectors, tune, shift kit in transmission, tires, send it. Similarly could be done with a C280 with the M104.
Weight reduction is absolutely worth it! On my E46, I stripped the interior and removed over 400 lb. It shaved 0.8 second off my 1/4 mile time.
Damn!!!! That’s awesome. You’re also going to love episode 2
I think if they removed the engine and added a sail up top, it would be some excellent weight reduction.
Hahah true
@@bandwagon240 - and more reliable!
Chinese turbos are also a really good cheap option these days. I'm running maxpeeding rods turbos in my drift/track car. Great success.
8:35 - "This is about to get _reaaaal nasty._ like a DIY colonoscopy."
lmao that's the worst thing I've heard all day 😆
I’d just find an e90 335i or xi with blown turbos, these still can be found for way less than 5k, although this seems to be changing. Buy some eBay turbos and off you go. Or look for some b5 s4, although they have gone up in price so one for less than 5k might get you over the budget
It’s funny how the cheap project car approach varies between mechanics and drivers
The best thing to wake up to! Love this series!!!
Love these style of videos, no outrageous clickbaity nonsense content. Prime example of knowledgeable car enthusiasts getting together to make REAL quality content & have fun.
A cheap upgrade could be to rerout your window washers to your intercooler, you could spray it onto the intercooler while running to lower intake temps
Engine, gearbox remap, exhaust, intake, and a whole lot of nitrous..... job done
Alright this is going to be great. I look forward to the vtec yo jokes later. Let's go team V-dub.
i wanna hear some nasty smelly DSG farts
There are Hondas in the 6s. Are there any VWs in the 6s? 🤔
@@ytsux9259 if you throw enough money into a car it will be fast
@@ytsux9259 None of them were built for 5k though..
I don't know, I made it a few minutes and saw the mechanic proclaim he doesn't like changing oil as he proceeds to try and examine oil from a failed engine for what appears to be the first time. What an interesting choice of methods using a red rag as a filter in a small volume catch pan. He's as skilled as he looks, the backwoods wine-o has gotten loose from the tavern and is turning wrenches again.
Hahaha okay 👍
NICE! Can't wait to see end result. Good luck!
On Team Euro! 🇩🇪Luv this! Good Luck guys looking forward to seeing you win🇩🇪🏁🇩🇪🏁
"The number one thing to do when you fix cars is to use JB Weld and Duct Tape." Put that on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker (make it look like duct tape!).
Add man-hours, throw another $7k on top 😄. Love it, will be looking forward to watching the rest.
This is why I like Toyota and Honda super simple overbuilt instead of over engineered. The struggles you euro car fans go through I don’t understand it but I can appreciate it.
I'd choose MKII and stuff 1.8T in it :)
Lupo or Polo and 1.8T
@@StopTeoriomSpiskowym I'd go for a a3 quattro 1.8t, 1.8t would definitely be the right choice on either chassis
Something like an AEB, $500 drop in rods, used gt28 and send it?
@@gnarshread AGU with ME7.5.. Throw in a set of rods, GT28, 550cc injectors, VR6 fuel pump and just send it to the moon
@@shona5512 Awwww yeeeeaaaaaa!
Take M52/M54 engine, put a turbo on it and you got 400-500hp at the wheels even with an unopened engine.
The M54 is aluminium block, it can't take a lot of boost without having a meltdown.
@@genshinpostingch Not true. Talk to the people who did turbo the engines.
@@MrDanielsahne I mean I have an e46, but I've been told that it's cheaper to swap an S54 to get more power.
@@genshinpostingch have you priced an s54 swap?
@@ziklag7676 It would be like £2-3k excluding labour. About the same as a turbo or centrifugal supercharger kit which can only give you 100hp max without upgrading stock internals.
I have an old GT2860RS (aka Disco Potato) turbo from a first gen APR Stage 3 kit that I will let go for $300. Turbo was pushing 23-25lbs of boost without issue before it was removed. Only reason I took it off is because I upgraded to the newer GTX2867R. The problem is that you will need a manifold adapter and possibly different oil and coolant lines. Might be best to continue to pursue the used K04 solution...
excited for this- just dropped a lot of cash on wear maintenance for my 2007 candy white GTI 6mt- used to have a DSG model so can't wait to see this.
K04, downpipe, S3 injectors, tune, weight reduction, tires, and you'll win.
I've got the actual filter tool from when I worked on vw, you can have mine
@UC2gRQKQgI3CsrcnMuHPyYsQ I always used it only because I had bought my own from VW and wanted to get my moneys worth lol
Isn’t that the same gli from you’re “what happens when a timing belt breaks fsi “
The only reason why I ask is because they are both missing the same passenger side fog light cover on the bumper.
And on the craigslist listing the passenger side fog light cover was present
It is the same car. It was too good a topic to not do a more in-depth video on.
@Zay tolvin HAHHA This is actually why I got the car. Just happened to be a great topic for broken chain too.
Ahhh, you made it seem like you just bought a mk5 from Craig’s list with a broken timing chain :/
I’m neutral and can’t take any sides bc I’ve entered the car scene JDM 🔰 with a K20, and now in an EA888 🇩🇪
I chuckled when Charles immediately checked on the cam follower bc that was the EA113 FSI weak link. I had to swap it out 3 times in 5 years of ownership. Anyway good luck to both sides and can’t wait to see part 2 of the series. 👍👍
Awesome. I was thinking it would have been 1 of the 3 cars I was think.
1: MK5 series VW (though I thought it'd be GTI)
2: Audi TT Quattro. AWD, cheap to build, really light.
3: Audi A3 Quattro, though in hind sight you might be able to talk someone down to 5 or 4K, but it wouldn't leave you with much room to mod.
What’s crazy is, I just bought a TT Quattro for $1300 with about $7k in performance parts
@@HumbleMechanic awesome deal man congrats. Funny enough, I spent the same exact amount on my MK 5 GTI that's in my garage right now. No performance parts though, and so far all I have is a CAI, short throw shifter and a blow off valve, all self done. Gonna spend my income tax next year though and stage 2 it
Needless to say I'm very interested in what you're gonna do to that FSI. Keep up the good work guys!
Was going to do a similar challenge at the beginning of 2020 when I got a 1.8T Jetta with another TH-camr, and then all the covid crap happened
Yayyy we’ve been waiting for this!!
Who is WE? Definitely not me. I have seen enough USA vs. Euro vs. JDM crap...
I am only watching this one because i like Charles.
Why are people that think their taste and opinion is THE ONE multiplying like rabbits these days 😩
Nonetheless, enjoy the video and have a nice weekend.
What a GREAT video from 2 of my favorite TH-cam personalities!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks brother. Hope you’re welcome
Because the rear springs are independent, just find something with as high of a rate as you can that will sit on the perch. If you don't allow the car to squat it will keep weight over the front. Strip the entire interior and sell it all. Strip the cats and sell them. Thats more budget.
Racing stripes make the car go faster. Just ask ChrisFix
@@HumbleMechanic Scotty Kilmer makes a "guest appearance" from the depths of a vacant Celica engine bay?
Exactly what I said!
No fair! It's easy to make a fast Euro car that will last a few runs.
Japanese cars are by and large designed to last after the warranty expires.
😜
18:10 throw out alternator, AC compresor, and other correct time of close exhaust valves
I like the concept and editing. Well done!
If you guys lose, Charles has to shave his beard!
lmao, the miata pulling the gli? sounds like team japan is winning to me
Hahah I’m glad that wasn’t lost to everyone. I mean I could pull it with the Touareg. But the Miata is more fun
I use a cheap sieve from the dollar store to check for particles in the oil. They had some with a very fine mesh. You can re-use them after cleaning with some petrol.
I've worked on these things a long time. That tensioner for the intake cam is often pretty suspect lmao. Above and beyond a way better engine than the gen 2 though.
That first 2 minutes was great. I laughed more than i should have.
Thanks!!! Took longer to make that than the whole video. Haha
No way you just bought my daily driver that is tuned. You bought it for a drag build. Best video ever!
You’re gonna love the rest of the series ;)
@@HumbleMechanic let’s gooooo
looks like a fun series. Looking forward for the next episode
Love watching you guys having so much fun!
Ha ha, I love this collabo between gears and gasoline and humble mechanic. Its kind of like seeing two great rappers working together and competing at the same time.
I was hoping you would've gone with a MK1 or MK2 chassis and an engine swap, but it'll be interesting to see what you can do with the MK5. A MK1 or MK2 would be almost half the weight, but then you need a donor car for the engine, transmission, harness, etc. So I understand why you went with the MK5, but a MK1 or MK2 would definitely be faster in the end (but more work).
MK2, 1.8T swap, Bosch ME7.5 ECU w/2 Step Launch Control, 5 Speed 02J gearbox, Large port head, K04 hybrid turbo, bigger intercooler, 550cc injectors, VR6 fuel pump..
333hp per tonne. Enough to run high 11 second quarter mile..
Love the video man! Btw i am the guy that send you about the 20vt on Facebook 😂
Editing and overall storyline to the videos is 10x better than back in the day keep it up
"as practical as putting a vr6 in a sirocco" my tuner hearing that and saying noooo its actually the only practical thing. HAHAH
Hahahha
"Illumination stick" broke me, lol
GTI mk5 owner here. I didn't expect to still see videos about our sweet EA113s.
Just wait ;)
G&G is going for the JDM is having the problem of pre molested cars and Humble mechanic is going for euro and is having the issue of abused and broken car. I really like this series because it looks like it will show both sides of the coin. I have a small mechanic background and I would do the same as Humble. This is interesting because I think people get the idea that you can just buy a car slap turbo on it and go full send down the track. And technically you can but you can seriously hurt the car and yourself. It really is nice to see two kinds of build series in one multichannel series. my money is on Jetta ATM because I have seen them do well as long as they can get rev limiter set up and build boost they Will be fine but the civic is frightening.
Thank you! I think its going to be a super fun series. Obv I know what happens globally with it, but I don't know the details on the G+G part. HAHA Lets just say this car goes....... a little sideways.
new to this channel, ive only heard of it, though as an owner of 3 different audi's that does my own maintenance 'ive watched paul's videos a decent bit. but im definitely subbing for this. Good stuff!
Right on!!!!
that autofocus !@%$@#$^%@#%^
Great fun and jokes during work :)
Guys, an intercooler is working within 4 seconds at wot. 2 step and you'll be heat soaked before the light goes green.
"Like a DIY colonoscopy" my beverage shot out of my nose. 😂
I'm so freakin pumped for this !
Man I love this series. Way too cool. Can’t wait for part 3.
This is going to be as awesome as the road trip series on G&G! So excited for this!!
Looking forward to this summer build series. Especially to see what you can do on the cheap with the 2.0.
The oil draining was soooo encouraging. Now I don't feel so bad with some spillage on my driveway....
Never feel bad about that! It happens. If someone says they never spill. They. Are. Lying
For the remaining $3000, go to the wreckers and get a YUGE turbo from a Cummins. Upgrade the fuel pumps and injectors, tune it and put drag slicks on it….
JUST came from g&g to watch your vid. i love both channels BUT as a dub owner my money is on you guys for the win.....
YASSSSS
dude this is gonna be a fun series to watch. i really hope yall have some tricks up your sleeve. team euro for the win!.

"All that glitters ain't gold" So exited about this for some reason. Good luck guys.
There are workarounds for the diverter valve. I've got a bypass on my Mk6, and it was less than $70
Really enjoy your episodes with Paul when you guys are just having fun.
Thanks for the love. We usually have a good time together......
Some say he can grind valves with the power of thought alone, an that he can time an engine in the dark with a pair of pliers, all we know is his beard has it's own gravitational field!
These are all facts!
Soooo... I just watched the video, and I already need to watch the 2nd episode 😂
You guys might get an early EP2... Maybe or maybe not on the 21th. I might set an alert just in case
Can't wait to see the rest of this series.
This is the worst of the 4 videos. Lol
💔🥲did it have to come in parts, I so badly want all four episodes now
I love VW's tho... As much as I know the 2.0TSI is a good, smooth engine with so much performance potential... It really isn't an engine that lasts. Way too unforgiving if there is any lack of service and I just seen so many of those dead.
Great car for a VW Specialist on a drag strip tho.
port the heads, get the rubber cap rhing of the injectors waaa laaa bugger injectors.cold air intake, in the Philippines the fwd cars that drag race use tiny donut tires at the back for weight reduction, and take those panels off, and cut the trunk out. Rooting for you guys
this reminds me of old roadkill keep up the good work i like this so far
This is the greatest collab ever
B5 A4 Quattro or b5 passat 4motion with 1.8t. add K04, larger intercooler and downpipe. Call it a day.
Nitrous. MLM head gasket. APR head studs. Spray it till it bulges. Gigantic turbo and racing slicks. Done.
THAT my friend is more that $5k But I like where you are at
@@HumbleMechanic ok then, a bunch of nitrous. New head gasket. Extra turn with the torque wrench. Pray.
@@scottb4029 nah just weld the head to the block
@@dkis8730 JB weld, right? And some duct tape.
I've done a few a3 quattros with ccz engines for track days, k04-64 bolts strait on with a little adaption of the outlet, then just a remap. No injectors or fuel pump needed, I've found this to be the cheapest for me.
