Especially when you find they filled up at different times of the day, different stations etc. Had this thought......fuel economy testing on the rollers.

I've had the same car with a 5-speed for 6 years now and I'm more and more impressed with it, other than the temporary interior that the factory installed.
It made what it's quoted at with the 87. Quoted at 150 with 06-08.5, so running better fuel would get a little more power. And people wanted to say the car was tuned from factory with 91 octane if that's the case it wouldn't make 150hp on 87octane.

07k cars are tuned for 87 or premium. In the owners manual it’s says, for best performance use premium, but 87 is the minimum requirement. My 2.5 loves 91. Feels weaker with 87.

You're absolutely correct about an NA car... Bolt-ons, tuning and some cams are the best/ only mods if you aren't throwing a snail on it. O7K FTW! There's a reason they're one of my favorite 'newer' VW/ Audi powerplants. Even when I was turning wrenches at the multiple stealerships I was at and the O7K was brand new there were like no issues with them. They're super reliable and the sound!!! Yeah 87 is trash. Throw some premium in it and the car will thank you. Not to mention the difference internally compared to a car that's been run on shit gas to one ran solely on premium. Here in NY we have 93 and that's ALL I EVER RAN. Not just on a car with a tune or a chipped EPROM where it's mandatory but everything will benefit from the better fuel. I think Spinni needs to throw a 3071 or similar 'SpinniBOI' on that thing. Keep it close to stock on the outside with a set of lightweight wheels/ sticky tires, some coilovers/ bushings, brakes and it'll be a sleeper, looking like it's basically a stock 2.5 Golf. Magnaflow makes one of the best aftermarket/ universal application mufflers. They last a while, are cheap, and sound great. Same thing with the Vibrant 'Stealth' cans. Another great choice. Just switching to those mufflers/ mandrel/ larger diameter piping, and no crush bends makes a huge difference. Good vid, definitely enjoyed it. Appreciate the share!🙂💪👍

Low octane fuel causes premature detention due to the high compression rate... which eats at the piston face Costs more in the long run by not buying the correct fuel
@relicgamer2137 the 2.5 is 10.8 to 1 compression ratio which is considered high compression so yes without the correct octane you'll experience detonation This is the reason when putting a turbo on a naturally aspirated VR engine we use a head spacer with two head gaskets to drop compression to around 8-8.5 to 1 so there's room for boost
Does higher octane really give you a boost in hp without a tune? Thought your engine needed to be tuned for a higher octane to give noticeable improvements
If it's knocking, then 100% better octane will make more power as it allows the ECU/Engine to run more timing. If it's not knock then no, however this one was so yes octane would help it.

I just got a 08 2.5 5 speed. Im a truck guy with the bad roads in northern Arizona. Ive owned many vehicles over the years. I just want slow and reliable and 29mpg 😂😂 I im used to torque and turbo and diesel-powered trucks. This car has torque but its slow if that makes sense 😢
Why would you put a slower detonating fuel in a n/a ? Do these have high compression? My experience is high octane detonates slower and you use that for force induction or high compression engines.
All depends on quality of parts, and labor rates in your area. Also expect that the studs are rusted to nothing (depending on where you are) so expect some extra time for that.
I did 167whp with cai, high flow cat midpipe and larger exhaust. I later got a um tune but I never dynoed. I'd say 175-180whp at best (fast enough to smoke a 2.0 brz with an intake lol). Fun enough in first and second and sounds amazing which makes it unique. No means is it fast though.

What exhaust was put on? I’ve also got a few leaks in my exhaust and think that’ll fix it
What year is the rabbit? I have a neuspeed pflo that you guys could also compare if it would work
I just got a 08 2.5 5 speed. Im a truck guy with the bad roads in northern Arizona. Ive owned many vehicles over the years. I just want slow and reliable and 29mpg 😂😂 I im used to torque and turbo and diesel-powered trucks. This car has torque but its slow if that makes sense 😢
It's basically the most base module VW offered, all of what you're saying is expected lol
@@COMotorsports i like the gas milage for sure. These cars dont seem to be real common herw
Why would you put a slower detonating fuel in a n/a ? Do these have high compression? My experience is high octane detonates slower and you use that for force induction or high compression engines.
Although I agree, it's all it calls for from factory.
I'm trying to replace the exhaust on my 07 Rabbit. What are some good brands and how much should is a good price to pay for the part and labor?
All depends on quality of parts, and labor rates in your area. Also expect that the studs are rusted to nothing (depending on where you are) so expect some extra time for that.
If you want to hear this car with stage 2 tune and exhaust, I have videos up.
I thought later 07k had 170hp stock. Bit dissapointing. But that engine sounds great with new exhaust.
This is measured at the wheels, which is different then crank HP.
Thats 08 + models
Love to get my mk6 TDI on there and make a whopping 140 hp haha
Please dyno with 91.
Mine is stage 1IE 93 octane and cold air intake and both mufflers deleted idk what the power is I would say close to 200hp
Not at the wheels it isn't
I did 167whp with cai, high flow cat midpipe and larger exhaust. I later got a um tune but I never dynoed. I'd say 175-180whp at best (fast enough to smoke a 2.0 brz with an intake lol). Fun enough in first and second and sounds amazing which makes it unique. No means is it fast though.
What exhaust y’all go with?
Hi mate great video can I ask you a question I’m thinking of doing a secondary set of injectors on my mk5 golf tfsi 2.0 I know on one of your videos that you were talking about doing it can I ask how or what you need to do it ? Or do you have a video of you doing it and if you do could you send me the link to the video cheers 👍
The key is figuring out what you want to use to control them.
Didn't even know vw did a 2.5 litre golf
A lot of them. These engines are pennies around here.
I can’t wait to see the laughs when I bring my 58 Beetle supercharged/EFI “40 hp” to the dyno. I’m hoping I will be the new low hp record. I’m thinking 70hp/95 lb ft? But percentage wise over stock, that’s a lot for a driver
We just had a really crappy one on there.. it'll be hard to beat. lol
I do use the best fuel possible I can and my vehicle even though it's just a 2.0 ABA non Turbo ABA non Turbo
owning a euro and buying primo, this is the way.
What type of exhaust is it?
I have a 2.5 2007 rabbit that I use for just work, I beat that car every day and it just eats anything I give it.. I would love to get it tuned but honestly the little thing I sent worth paying for the service. I am in upstate ny an I do see that your in Canada 😊
Great engines for sure.
Have you guy's put a turbo in a 2.5l
lots
@COMotorsports It must be an old video...I'll keep looking.
What’s type of exhaust is this I have been needing one for my 2.5 2011 that’s not over 700 dollars
Good luck, metals expensive
What exhaust was it?
What exhaust setup is that?
I loved my 5-speed 3-door 2008, but definitely not its electrical components! VW pushed me to Toyota.
