This video has made me like the sound of a golf r for the first time. Hate the sound of standard golf r regardless of whether it is straight piped. This sounds great. Insane power for the cylinders
Stan and his team at Ecotune are awesome guys to deal with! They went above and beyond for me and my old bmw e39 back in the day! I highly recommend! Congrats with the project boys ❤
Shoe on the other foot for once. RHD normally hates fancy manifolds and engine swaps when RWD due to the steering column being in the way. Nobody K swaps MX5s over here or puts fancy headers on BMWs etc :(
My dads got a built gti with the typhoon turbo from EQT. The car makes slightly under 700hp. For a little 3000lb FWD car it MOVES. Just no traction in 1st to 3rd gear lmao. Crazy fun car for roll racing.
Great team there at ecotune 😎 7 cars I’ve had tuned by them so far Never had any issues and always had great customer service. Just got my 335d f30 done couple of weeks very similar power to yours Jamie 👀
Savage 👌🏻😈, ecotune is just up the road from me now and if I didn’t have a 20 plate cupra 290 with “fwd” id get this package tomorrow. Really great guy’s to deal with, they used to take my map off my previous car for warranty work then re-install it for £0 , they are mqb specialists. Trust me if you stay in England it’s worth the drive. Dying to see the next video now 👍
Unbelievable power ! Minted car ! I actually had my car into Ecotune today for new discs & pads on my S3, they also fitted my twin friction RTS clutch * sachs flywheel... oh, amd my 24mm Whiteline Performance Rear Anti Roll Bar.. they know their stuff the Ecotune Team 💪💯 Also their customer service is on point 👌
Seen your car on their page earlier! I’m about to get the RTS clutch & sachs flywheel fitted in my golf R the next week or 2! Ecotune’s stage 1’s are meant to transform these !
The twin friction clutch bites each gear harder than a tramp eating hot chips ! 🤣 It'll drag you all the way to hell before you fasten your seat belt so hold on tight & enjoy the fun ! It's gonna be like a whole new car ! Makes such a difference 💯💪
@@cjlewis5455 the stock clutch lasted until then? Or were you already running a aftermarket one before? What was stage 1 like for you ? I cannot wait Also interested to see what stock power feels like on the new clutch / flywheel as I’m sure it does slip at times
Mind Blown is right! 🤯Amazing R Build! Thanks for the great explanation on the setup. Maybe I missed it but no Quarter Mile time or 0-60? Or saving that for the next episode? 🙂
I've never seen more than 10-12% increase in hp when going from 100oct to E85 or even E100... So id say 600on petrol is pretty darn safe if it does 8-10 on e85
The one thing I hated about my MK7 R but love about my new Meg RS IV, it's playful, even though it's fwd and has less power (340hp 440nm stage 1 tuned, compared to my golf's 400hp 490nm stage 2), the driving experience is completley on another level. This power is ridiclous but seems to give a little more playfulness and fun, which is what I was missing when I owned one, it's just crazy that it takes 800+ hp and slight mods to Haldex to do that. Crazy car!
@@alexandruturza7131 Track times speak for themselves though (compared to cupra), the Renault is better in the corners despite it's inferior power plant and is a far more driver focused and better handling car which is what I was looking for, power 0-60 and 60-120 times come second for me, as where I live I can't use the power I already have most the time. If you ever get the chance to drive one you 100% should. And on the new one with the 4 wheel steer the rear end gets happy when pushing it. GTI clubsport is faster yes but alot more money also than what I payed for my MK4 RS and I've driven one, they're not as much fun. I also prefer the way the RS looks and it's more of a unicorn.
@@LARGE_COKE Thank you for your details. I was thinking to buy soon a Leon Cupra but I will take in consideration the Megane IV as well. I am from Romania and here we have mostly Golf R. Very little Cupra and never saw on the streets one Megane IV.
@@alexandruturza7131 no problem bro, this is why I bought one I heard they where amazing cars to drive and they’re rare to see on the road, I like that it’s different. Also it was £18,000 compared to the GtI Club Sport being around £30,000. And the two cars can be compared similarly.
This has got to be one of the nicest sounding EA888 engines I've heard. Great build
*cries in 2023 GTI Clubsport with Akra from the factory*
Very special head setup.
They sell them now too.
(RHD only 😭)
Yeah sounds awesome never heard a golf like this
Thats thanks to a) More flow on the turbo, but mostly b) That manifold + the head.
Yeah it sounds good. Doesn't have that fart can sound that the engine typically produces.
How does this look so fast yet so chilled and refined. Testament to an awesome build.
Modern vag for you. It’s why there are dangerous I think you don’t realise how fast it is until you look down 😂
Its a german car
810bhp from a 4 cylinder 20ltr engine? That's MAAD GASS! Big up Jamie, big up the guys involved with this beast. 🏴
2.0 litre 4 cylinder Honda engine can produce more power

@@Honda3737gs Well if you spend enough money any 2.0l 4 banger can be more powerful than this. That doesnt mean that this is not impressive!
@@Honda3737gs2 liter older GTI 4 cylinder engine did produce even more. Almost 10 years ago. Not sure everyone remembers boba motoring...
Cosworths have been doing this for 25 years.
You know its fast when Jamie's talking / smiling like this lol. What a bad ass golf R! Congrats gents!
Good to see ecotune getting some more recognition. My A3 tfsi is stage 2 ecotuned and it pulls hard for a lil k03 turbo
What was the price mate ?
@@alfredasrusas6995 the actual map itself was 450 if I remember correctly
@@alfredasrusas6995 bought all parts separately before the map
Do they ever do remote tunes for folks in the states?
how much u had on dyno after tune and how much stock if i may ask
The Scottish have invented SO much through out history, its no surprise they've turned their heads to cars, amazing work!
Once again jamie brings the cars we love to see, would love to see this on the battles against the teg 😮
This video has made me like the sound of a golf r for the first time. Hate the sound of standard golf r regardless of whether it is straight piped. This sounds great. Insane power for the cylinders
Pushing the dq250 so far is crazy but the dq500 is always inevitable
Dq 500 i think has torque limiters at 600nm
guys on this dsg´s you have plenty upgrade options to handle almost 1200NM
Galano is Australia ran into the 8s on the DQ250 so can be done
Why not the DQ381? That's what HPA Motorsports uses for their 2.5L VR6 set up
@@agent47isn1250 has better ratios

I need to take the TTS up to see them. Same engine, right? 😁
@@NoName-ns6iz in a nutshell, yes!
This head setup is driving me insane. It sounds sublime and I want one so badly for my S3, but its RHD only!!!
Us yanks are out of luck. 😓
Shoe on the other foot for once. RHD normally hates fancy manifolds and engine swaps when RWD due to the steering column being in the way. Nobody K swaps MX5s over here or puts fancy headers on BMWs etc :(
I hope we can see the evil Golf r at a drag race on Sunday soon 😈
The 8k redline changes the sound so much, almost sounds JDM!

Alot of power for these engines, i wouldnt want to take mine to those levels, ticking time bomb for sure 😅
Id love to see affi r34, the integra and this 8n a drag race, would be fun
Outstanding Golf R us Scots love a fast motor 🏴🙌
I always seen this car since Im working around where it parks and its mad to see it on youtube and that its 810HP !
Mannnn I love our Golf R's they honestly never disappoint thank you so much for sharing this guys!!!
14:47 You can see the other guy basically saying, alright slow up now buddy 😂😂
I personally think jamie is the best car youtuber out there he needs more subs
Yeh I agree he’s entertaining and passionate need him to come over to Australia to see the fast kangaroo cars 😂
We definitely need a race of this golf on OG battle
Ea888s are amazing engines
well.. this makes my 370hp golf r feel slow 😳 Can't even imagine how that one feels
i was thinking the same thing...
I’ve got a 382bhp Polo GTI with Ecotune, defo need to squeeze more out of the golf 😉
alot ppl forgot golf R 300 is 150forward 150 back total 300hp that why its feel like an EV
ECOTUNE been building Loch Ness monsters with the MQB 2.0 4 pots and 2.5 5 pots. They deserve all the lime light.
Great video, and massive progression from the Reflex Stage 1 I have which is still a monster
Ecotune 🚀 Enough said
Bruh car sounds insane, almost flat plane crank ish 🤩🔥🔥
Mad to think this much BHP out of 4 cylinder well done 👏
BOBA golf 2 litre 1200hp
No doubts! here we used to have a 1400hp Agu 20v!
EA888 sounds juuuuust fine now.
Been waiting to see more of this car for ages, absolute goals!
Love the guys face at 14:47 14:50😂👊🏼
used to work near ecotune everytime you walked passed something was on the dyno, the lads put in work
Your work must be near me then 😃
Pretty damn insane. Hoping the MK8 R will get more support soon
Power to weight is definitely key here😊
Great team there at ecotune 😎
7 cars I’ve had tuned by them so far
Never had any issues and always had great customer service.
Just got my 335d f30 done couple of weeks very similar power to yours Jamie 👀
Same here🤘
The galano team here in Australia have the fastest golf 7. It ran 8.97 last week
I was wondering when someone was going to convert to a 4 port head , great job
What a absolute rocket. Love my R and keeping it a sleeper stage 3 hurts a lot of peoples feelings lol
Like what ?
Stage 3 m140i enters the chat
I wonder if these guys will work on a US spec car 👀👀👀 I would absolutely ship my Golf R to get this power
the 8000rpm sounds fantastic.
Crazy to think that’s the ea888, same engine I’ve got in my scirocco but this has nearly 4 times the power my car has which is mental😂
There is a golf R in UAE that got 1300hp , but it has a I5 single turbo engine
So it's not a golf r anymore
And I’m worried about breaking my standard one 😂
Sounds almost like a flat plane crank. One hell of a screamer and sounds very different to the others.
Quality video Jamie you "Did it Again", wicked crazy GolfR
✌🤜🏽

Once the Honda is dialed in at it's new power level this golf R will be the perfect match on OG battles.
Damn!!! 😱 I'm loving this 😍
I wish my golf sounded like that! It almost sounds like it has VTEC 😂

Jamie this has to be the first car you vs against on OG battles when your cupra is ready 😮💨
Who wants to see a volkswagon vs Honda og battle, GOLF R vs the TEG, Honda for the WWWWW
No way a ea888 sounds like a bit to an NA engine with it can actually makes 800+ wow that's so unbelievable
That thing is crazy! Another great episode as always
Seen the Ecotune guys at gassed on track. Wish we would of seen this haha .
This r and the acura should be a nice race
Keep giving us these videos Jamie
Need to see some numbers in a battle! Mental build! ❤
Jamie is the best, Love Golf R 's this one is sick 🙂
Best car and best accent ❤ from New Zealand 👏
Lovely sound... got a whiff of McLaren V8 to it
The Golf R is a Volkswagen even Audi fans love
Tbh id like to see this vs your integra im a vw fan but i kinda think yuor car might win
Bro …oh my gooooood chuckle scoff what on 🌍. Jamie’s reactions always make me howl 😂

Yeah will be Next episode
they said it does 9.1 in the 1/4
Amzing set up with the head!
EcoTune are epic 😎🤙 run their software etc on my R and reflex is awesome. Stan is the man 😎🤙🤙🔥🔥
Woww emazing car question for you the DSG transmission or the manual gearbox better on it give it more fun and power and speed
We need to see more of this car.
this engine revving that high sounds like a ferrari 458 V8 (4.5L)
The look on his face when you were on it speaks volumes.. 🤣💪👌👌😂😂
I have an mk6 R. What’s a safe power goal with a stock internal? Thanks for the vids my guy
🐐🔥🔥🔥 that's all I can say 🙌
Them calipers are doing the job for stock ones R
Want to see this on the OG battles performing!
A crazy engine build there for a 2ltr omg that's power
Elijah Wood has a pretty fast Golf
Need this to make an appearance on carwow with you in the driver's seat
I wonder if the lads at Wolfsburg knew something like this would ever happen
Can it do a run in Micha Charoudin's hands without overheating on the nurburgring? Would be a nice test!
I may not exactly like the sound of this R (too high-pitched for my taste), but goes like hell. Wow.
High free revving 🎉
Why is this may I ask I like the sound of golf r’s
@@mrunusual8341 It's just so high-pitched, I don't enjoy that.
@@EFerrorfile I meant why does it sound so high pitched not digging at you
@@mrunusual8341different turbo manifold + revving to 8k instead of the usual 6750-7000
Hugeee Machine 🚀🚀🚀
The side eye is personal from him 😆
top tier software
head and manifold looks glorious by themselves
Looks like something fresh of need for speed
In greece we start from that hp
Smashing it again 👀💪
Imagine driving a Tesla Plaid and a golf pulling up next to you and gapping you 😂
Love it boys
I've never seen more than 10-12% increase in hp when going from 100oct to E85 or even E100...

On full throttle the sound it makes is comparable with the engine noise of a Ferrari 458. Mad!
Okay I thought this comment was completely stupid until I heard it, you’re comment couldn’t be any more true😂

Maybe you should try a GTI ClubSport or Leon Cupra.
