Ok guys. I have another question which will strike most of you as stupid. I am still trying to find the most cost effective way of making my 2.8 quick, really quick. I know about the PES G2 and I don't want it if I have to spend more then 800 buck on it. It's just not worth it. I have found a S4 engine with all the wires turbos ecu going for 1000 right now. I am seriously considering going for the swap. What else will I have to change. What problems can I expect. I have heard everything from it is basically a bolt on job to a basically redo the whole car. I am only dealing with the price of additional parts as I will do all of the work with a close friend of mine. Does anyone know if the rear axel will be a problem, if I could use my transmission until I can get a 6-speed? Would I need a new radiator? Basically what will I need? Please only serious commits with actual anwsers. I DON"T want to just super charge my car or sell it for an S4. I would much rather have a really custom sleeper. Also if anyone has links to though who have made the swap in the past or other advice. Thanks

 

there's really no way to make the 2.8 fast unless u supercharge it. it's the most easy and efficient way. as for the S4 engine, the swap is going to be a PITA. do a search on this forum for what ur looking for. u'll find quite a bit. but i mean, if ur going to get an S4 engine and upgrade to 6 speed later, y not jsut buy an S4?

 

for the price of the swap you could buy a brand new s/c

 

If you want a fasta4, you need to sell it for a 1.8t and then geta turboin the gt28, gt30, or t3t4family of turbos

 

Boooo all of those..... GT42!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

boostpast 6k and 900whp, not very streetable

 

so.......... youd have a turbo the size of your motor, waht else could you want??

 

just don't tell lol j/k don't ever contradict cincytt. though im still disappointed with the missing flying pig

 

A head that can take theflow and rev to 11k.... gues i need a s2k, that'll give me 10k rpms easy

 

b16 it is then
