This 440BHP *Golf R Engine Swapped* Polo GTI AW is MENTAL!
We're back with a crazy car feature! Today we're joined with Roberto and his Fully Forged EA888 Swapped Stage 3 Polo GTI AW! Roberto walks us round the car and its modifications, before we hop in and go for a spin...

Thanks for watching! :-)
Thanks for having me on mate! Just a quick disclaimer for anyone watching i made a small mistake and it’s a 3.5 inch downpipe not a 4 inch!! 🙌🏻🔥
wicked car, any changes to the diff setup? Had a stage 1 AW before and it just couldn't put the power down on track, xds ain't it sadly.
Stock diff?
2 wheel drive?
I would also like to know about the lsd. Do you know if those brakes would fit on a Polo GTI 6C?
How much did the build cost roughly?
I've been a traffic policeman for 18 years and I can confirm that is a fully legal number plate, we see them all the time on the beat, generally we find OAPs favour these plates so they can promote their insta
Love the looks from this generation of the Polo GTI 👌
Was waiting on a polo gti aw build for a while, glad to see one!
Quality bit of work .love it. Sleeper .don't go mad silly cheap bodykit . .love it m8 .enjoy it .
ABSOLUTELY EFFFING EPIC
this is a super nice polo gti
Thats an awesome car! Im happy with my GTI. But thats just the real deal!
Super 💪🏼🔥
Just right in terms of looks and mods.
I will never climb into a car with this guy, it's on me 😊
Question is: did you pay and display?
Refreshing to see someone leaving the dcc system in. I know alot bin it but I’m still very much a fan of it and kept it in mine. Definitely cheaper to get rid if something goes wrong but you lose the ability and convenience of the adjustability from a button rather than winding dampers down or up to stiffen them up. Just shows how well something can sit on just simple springs too! Definitely the route I’m doing on my 6r. Currently away getting the revo 2+ upgrades and timing belt. Awesome polo! Haven’t seen one with a swap before!
Why didnt forge the original engine.. had also made this numbers with big turbo
The stock ea888 gen3b has revised pistons and designed more with economy in mind hence the laggy throttle from its lean operating mode up to 20% throttle (miller cycle) I have a stock one nippy not fast but OK on fuel
it would need a polo r5 rally widebody kit
These actually a nicer shape than the new golfs
Sounds just like air
very nice! first in the world most likely. Is that a golf R rear diffuser?
Am i tripping but is the AW stock not the same ea888 engine as the golf r?
No
It's the EA888.3B not the actual EA888.3
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bhso when you put a golf gti turbo it isn’t the same? Hmm looking to buy one of these but this threw me off a bit
@@Dmp287 very similar but not quite...doesn't rev as high and makes about 85% of the power
@@WaseemKhan-iu4bh hmm ok yea I just have to drive one I guess to see what they’re like
Wish they made a Polo R
Breaking News: Greta Thunberg - "How Dare You" floor your car and expand your CO2 foot print.... You should spend hours at charging station and go EV's. JK. Great car. Love it.
What gets me though is how much this swap probably cost in parts and labor the over probably could have bought an mk8 golf R🙄 I mean I'm a car guy I get fixing things up and all that there comes point that the cost of what it is (a polo) versus what else you can get (Gold R)for the same money comes into play.
Highly doubt that , these are as low as 14k, a MK8 R is still over 30k that’s not 16+k worth of work
It would cost 5k max
I don't think you've ever done a custom swap like this before. I don't know about where you live but unless this guy had access like his brother wrecked his car he got the motor from for free or something but just in labor alone would be over 5 grand 🙄@@OrangeTash
@@eppyzhe was literally sponsored by devil developments for it im sure he hasn’t paid full retail.. sounds like you’re the one who’s never done any custom work mush
@@OrangeTash yeah that must be it🙄 OT this build is expensive now your bringing up a potential sponsor? Go check out mighty car mods when they tried to do an engine swap in a VW polo and how much it cost and get back to me 🙄 I've been probably doing car builds longer than you've been alive by the way 🙄 you're missing the point the point is for what this person has money-wise in this particular car with all the mods in the purchase price of the car itself he could be real close if not able to buy a gold bar for that same money. That's all I'm saying. You can build a fast Polo but it's still a Polo. If that suits you and your happy then awesome👍
Wish I could do this to my car 🥲
Why go through the trouble of an engine swap just to make the same power you could make with a good tune and upgraded turbo, intake etc?
Just buy a Golf R 🤷♂️
power to weight ratio
@@hershverma9186buy a motorbike then
@@philip244 apples to oranges
He wants a Polo with an engine from a Golf R. He doesn’t want a Golf R. He likes his Polo.
He need DQ 500
Would love to see this get 4motion tbh
first
No one cares. Just enjoy the video ffs
You cant say ‘from a polo gti’ when its carrying the golf r engine 😂 stops being a polo, the moment you take its engine out
Does it? It’s still a Polo.
It's still built on a polo gti chassis. It's not like every component has been swapped
I mean if I stuck a Lamborghini engine into my polo and then I claimed I owned a lambo that would just sound ridiculous
@@leeg8973 It wouldn’t sound ridiculous. It would sound amazing.
It would sound suicide
No LSD 👎🏻
