Skoda Yeti with TT-RS Conversion

[tigger73]

Fresh from the UK someone has just put an Audi TT-RS drive train into a Yeti.... and then whacked on a big turbo for good measure!







Specs: 2.5 TTRS engine, Loba LO500+ turbo and Revo Performance Stage 3 software.

Stock Yeti = 123kW
TT-RS Yeti = 375kW

Totally mad

First you buy a Yeti. Then you buy a donor TT-RS and a turbo kit.

Then you move all the bits from the TT-RS to the Yeti, bolt on the turbo and tune it!

This is the build thread The Twins. (And Yeti RS) - Page 63 - Yeti Projects - BRISKODA.net

Absolutely bonkers.

I love it.

Skoda Yeti VRS vs Audi R8 at Brands Hatch:

And this was before the engine conversion...

So a bit more info on this build.

The car started out as a silver 1.8TSI 4x4:



Had a full respray:





Here's the donor car:





And then swap everything into the Yeti:













And then just put back on the front bumper and headlights...

I'm sure we may have glossed over a few of the steps but essentially they've stripped the Yeti to a shell and transferred everything from the TT-RS into the Yeti including all electrics. Plus custom built a whole bunch of stuff that wouldn't fit (intercooler, etc)

This is about as serious a Yeti build as you're going to see - ever!

That guy sure loves his Yetis, and obviously has a big money tree! Would sure surprise pretty much everyone at the lights!

[tigger73]

Yes he's got 3 Yetis and owns a transport company to fund his addiction.

That conversion pushes the Yeti into supercar territory. Definitely have to be a die-hard Yeti fan to put that much $ into the car. And word is that he's just ordered carbon doors... to cut weight by ~80kg

holy smoke!!
i'm still picking up my jaws from the floor!!

Would sure sound awesome, but you do have to wonder when a big turbo and tune on a stock engine makes it v8 territory, and it is already Haldex 5. I admire his balls out build, but personally I'd have a tuned Yeti, and give the TTrS to the missus and drive it on weekends!

I guess if he has the bucks, and enjoys it, then why not??

EDIT, after watching the video below, I take it all back. I totally get it now!!!

[tigger73]

First day out at the track and the Yeti-RS is nipping at the heels of a tuned R32 GT-R (~400kW) plus dispatches a lot of other cars as if they weren't moving....

Holy crap does that sound good or what? Bet that Skyline wasn't happy with a bug eyed Yeti in his mirror!
