starting discussion on the use of new VW 2.5L 5Cyl in Small Chassis

[Rocco]

Are you getting any clues yet?

Vems,stroker,better design,and you asking for shipping prices.....

Nice especially the vems plug and play bit!

Don't you know a second hand Vems unit for me Vas?

[Rocco]

no, its old.

in the USA they are very common, Much more so then the old 20v engines. They are in Jettas (boras), rabbits (similar to the golf), and i believe even the beetles. another variation of this engine is in the TT-RS

Rabbits?
Got loads and thousands of them

[Pat D]

Apparently loads of rabbits in China... On one side of the wall

some mods to mate to the 01E, but not impossible or a lot of work.

and FINALLY we (USA) get something you (European) guys didnt! about time LOL.

no prob... the containers going every week, whith old chewy, ford and other stuff to our amcars, so a old rabbit 2,5 liter engine can be in the aircleaner in the elefant engines....

[Sleeper_Avant]

thats all well and good, but they dont sound the same IMO

they maby sound like a ovlov T5, but not that warble at mid revs.....hmmm

big numbers though, no doubting that!

Building the 1000hp 07K 2.5L here in Sweden for the RS2 sedan...




Will make girdle and dry sump pan too it. Also modify the chain tensioner and take away some ****.

Will fit 01E fine with small mods.

This popped up on my news feed, figured i'd update the thread: they are using a bit of "old school" audi Flavor with the new 07k engine:

Hi Hank

how much can cost that kind of engine conversion?


i hope you are Ok!

[URQguy]

Engine build is more or less the same cost as a regular 20vt, except the motors are much cheaper and in much better shape generally. Adapter pieces aren't exactly cheap change, but they only need bought once. The cool part of the engine is that to bring a 20vt up to 07k spec flow wise and revability wise, you would be into the head atleast 2500 USD or more. So while an oil pan isn't cheap from us, the head can be left alone and still make 700whp easily. A friend of ours just trapped 147mph in the quartermile at 10.03 in a 3000 lb car on a bone stock head and a 35r on a 1.03 housing.

Yes, this is an URQ with the 01e more or less at the stock location. ANybody that has worked on the front end of an URQ/type85 is envious
