I’m sold. Couldn’t decide on what swap. This has me completely. Now I’ve got to start the research, planning, pricing, and sourcing lol. Thanks for making such a sweet kit!
I plan on doing this mod. Cheaper than buying a Jetta with a 2.5 and I can still keep my MK2. Now that the economy is on the upswing lots of new products for MK2's are becoming available and the prices are reasonable. You can buy a wrecked car with the motor you need at a COPART Auto auction cheaper than you would think some are still drivable others may have only scratches and dents and for under $500 you could have a drivable car. Yeaster day I saw A8 with an opening bid of $100 that only had scratches and small dents get passed over, no one wanted it. The have 100's of cars and in every state and probably within 100 miles from you. Use your AAA Gold and have it flat bedded to your home with 200-mile driving distances.
That's right, finding an 07k to swap in your MK2 is really reasonable. It's an awesome engine. Looking forward to adding a turbo over the winter. Let us know if you have any questions about the swap.
Do the research, there are plenty info out there may just be a little difficult to find. You’d probably do yourself a favor by getting the wiring diagram online or worst case but the Bentley manual so you can figure out the pin out.
The MK4 02J works better in a MK2, it still has a cable output for the speedo. There's very minimal grinding needed on the transmission case. It works well.
Can u whrite list of parts to bought so that engine can work in other car. Stock harnes and ecu and pedal box? I hawe b1 audi so this engine is 10cm shorten than old 5ilnine with belt drive....
In this video it was a 2.5" SS cat back exhaust with a SS muffler. This year (video to come) we have a 3" SS straight pipe with a borla muffler. Sounds way better.
Does this fit mk2 scirocco? I have a mk6 golf with the 07k and the I/E manifold kit want to basically run the same set up would it work with stock manual 07k trans?
I see your kit includes everything I’d need with the exception of the engine and trans but what I’m wondering is I have an 85’ gti and it’s cis how would I get the harness to plug in once the swap is complete?
Wouldn't you just use the harness and ECU from the newer car? I think MK2s with the CE2 fuse box will make the swap easier. Maybe upgrade to a cable shift tranny.
@@tunanocrust5089 No problem. You may have to use the MK5 cluster too. I do not know if the MK5 is drive by wire or drive by cable. I hope it is drive by cable do the swap is easier. Some dude on TH-cam swapped a 3.6 from a Passat into a Rabbit truck. His swap should give you some ideas what you are headed for (except the challenges surrounding a huge engine of course).
It's about the same difficulty as a 1.8T swap. You need a 2.5L 07K Engine, Engine harness and ECU from a donor VW MK5 or MK6, and a MK4 02a or 02J transmission. We make a bolt in Engine Swap Kit that'll get the engine and trans in with axles. You'll need to get the immobilizer removed from the ECU and have a harness made to plug into your CE2 box. We offer the parts for the gas pedal conversion to run a DBW pedal, as also offer a bolt in hydraulic clutch conversion kit to work with the 02a or 02J. That's the big stuff. The MK4 trans still uses a cable speedo so you can keep your factory dash and cluster. For the tach we used a canbus to digital, digitial to analog converter piggy backed to the cluster. Any other specific questions just shoot us an email to contact@fablessmanufacturing.com and we can help.
Another stupid question, do you guys have power steering? My 90 golf has power steering and I grabbed 07k power steering components, but every build I've seen, the power steering gets deleted. Thanks again!

Awesome! You are going to love it. Reach out if you have any questions!
I have one major problem With this video, it’s too short. I could listen to at least 10 mins of this ❤❤😍😍🔥🔥
This. I just got a MK2 and am definitely going to be doing this.
...as soon as there is money lol
So glad this came up in my recommended, must be Christian Smith that led me hear. New subscriber.

Been planning a mk2 buildI found out the heart of the build today
Which wiring harness are you using? I am planning to do a mk3 swap.
Do the research, there are plenty info out there may just be a little difficult to find. You’d probably do yourself a favor by getting the wiring diagram online or worst case but the Bentley manual so you can figure out the pin out.
Great video, I have an 87 jetta that I want to do this to
Only question is does the 5speed just bolt to the 5 cyl? Thought they used a different 5spd on the rabbits with the 2.5
The MK4 02J works better in a MK2, it still has a cable output for the speedo. There's very minimal grinding needed on the transmission case. It works well.
Can you keep A/c?
Turbo next?
yes sir
Does it fit the mk1 gti german spec
Will a 6 speed conversion be available at some point, or is there not enough space available?
At some point. :)
Can u whrite list of parts to bought so that engine can work in other car. Stock harnes and ecu and pedal box? I hawe b1 audi so this engine is 10cm shorten than old 5ilnine with belt drive....
Would this kit work with an mk1?
Any common swaps into a MK3/4 Cabrio? I may retain automatic, but curious if it could also have the 6 speed manual swap?
We got mounts to fit the MK3 cabrio, VR6, 1.8T, VR5, 5 speed and 6 speed options.
Are u going to produce this engine 07 rs3 Inline 5 swap kit for polo 6r in future?
It is possible to do??
Out of curiosity, what’s the exhaust that is always on your cars? It sounds sick
In this video it was a 2.5" SS cat back exhaust with a SS muffler. This year (video to come) we have a 3" SS straight pipe with a borla muffler. Sounds way better.
Fabless Manufacturing cool thank you 🙏
Can this work for a Corrado G60?
Hi guys.im looking for a video of q Mark1 rabbit.with an audi 5cylinder 20valve motor in.i think its red.
Hey,
I was wondering if your swap kit would also be able to house a rs3 5 cylinder engine in a mk2?
Hey, the RS3 and TTRS 2.5's are 07K TFSI engines and are different. Our kits work with the 07K 2.5 out of the MK5 or MK6 golf/jetta.
Does this kit include everything? Transmission, engine, ECU etc.
It's a complete mount kit, you source The engine, trans & ECU
@@FablessManufacturing What engine codes, ECU and transmission codes are compatible?
@@Musa-eo1dx 02a or 02J transmissions, we recommend MK4. 07K engine out of a MK5 or MK6. Match the ECU to the engine you choose.
Does it still have a mk2 dash?
Yes, sorry for the late reply.
is this the 5cylinder in the new rs3/tt?
No, the kits fits the MK5 or MK6 2.5L 07K Engine.
Does this fit mk2 scirocco? I have a mk6 golf with the 07k and the I/E manifold kit want to basically run the same set up would it work with stock manual 07k trans?
No, MK2 Scirocco would be still based on a MK1 chassis.
What engine management is this using? Lugtronic? Fellow Ontarian here considering swaps for stuff.
Stock ECU with the immobilizer delete.
Is there any turbo kit for that engine?
Yes it’s the same engine used in the Audi TTRS and Audi RS3, which are both turbo. Boosted 07K’s recommend a TTRS crankshaft if you plan on boosting
@@kennymatisse ok... I'm confused, is this the engine from the rabbit or rs3 ?
I'm completely lost 🤪🤪🤪
Engine from the Mk5/6. Not same as RS3. Still very turbo-able tho!
I see your kit includes everything I’d need with the exception of the engine and trans but what I’m wondering is I have an 85’ gti and it’s cis how would I get the harness to plug in once the swap is complete?

@@joeblack007 I appreciate that. I have seen I’m probably going to have to swap to ce2. Most likely I bet.

yea joe is right, best route is getting a full donor car
Need a kit for the MK1
hey inline 5 in Facebook y have a kit for mk1
Can’t find the song
im looking at exactly same swap, how hard was it to done? what did you need?
It's about the same difficulty as a 1.8T swap. You need a 2.5L 07K Engine, Engine harness and ECU from a donor VW MK5 or MK6, and a MK4 02a or 02J transmission.

@@FablessManufacturingwhat about CE1?
Are you able to keep AC with this swap?
Yes, there's clearance. We have the AC condenser on the MK2.
@@FablessManufacturing was that the donor AC components or MK2 AC components?
@@Peter_Quill88 Its the Ac condenser that came with the 07K
Another stupid question, do you guys have power steering? My 90 golf has power steering and I grabbed 07k power steering components, but every build I've seen, the power steering gets deleted. Thanks again!
Another stupid question, do you have power steering? My '90 came with it and I snagged the 07k parts, but every build I've seen deleted power steering. Thanks again.
How much for a swap kit, please?
1300
MK1 in the future?
We wont be making a MK1 kit due to it not being bolt in. Serious cutting would be required on the frame rails.
Fabless Manufacturing Inc
I see now that it’s not an easy install. Thanks for replying.
@@Azide-001 No problem, sorry for the delayed response
Fuckn awsome. Us the car fwd or all??
Its still front wheel drive
@@FablessManufacturing ok nice. Still a cool build tho man👌
Why 07k so hard to find in uk?!?!?!?
liam321995 I believe it was only sold in North America in VWs (2.5L : golf,Jetta, rabbit and the bug)
Freight forward this one in. www.ebay.com/itm/312565332461
We never got that lump over here, just as the US never got the VR5, shame for both
Gearbox MK2?
Its a MK4 4-cylinder transmission with 100mm cups. 1.8T or 2.0L.
👍👍🔥
Can't even turn on the 1 cool fog light in front? LAME!
More engine sound less meh music pla
Either throw the gain down on the shitty music or don't have it at all. Can barely hear the engine
Will this kit work with the RS3 motor?
No the RS3 engine is different. This kit fits the MK5 or MK6 2.5L 07K Engine.
@@FablessManufacturing will this motor be as powerful as the RS3 with little mods?
Will this swap work for automatic trans?
