is there any posibal way to get more horsepower...like a supercharger or a turbo kit? but i will look around for those parts you suggested thanks...are there any chips avaible for the 12v 2.8L? thank you for all your help and suggestions

 

No, unfrotunetly there are no performance mods like you ask. the problem lies in the Hitachi ECU chip. In order to run a supercharger or turbo you have to have special software to control the engine. There is no way to tap into or alter the stock ECU chip. You would have to go to a stand alone engine management system in order to use a turbo. We're talking somewhere int he 10k dollar range to get it working. If you come apon a site by the name of Mododyne, stay clear! They claim to have a supercharger and chip for our engine. I have heard of countless people on audiworld.com sending money and never recieving anything in return. It's a major scam.

 

Talk to david_k, he did some internal things that you may be interested in.( compression/cam shafts)

 

or talk to MotoDyne... LOL!!!
I am joking - do NOT, ever, under any circumstances, talk to that guy.

 

HAHAHA! ..I'm not even gonna comment...

Tsk Tsk Tsk... I just read this forum and i am very dissapointed. I hate to break it to you Jared but a CAI on a V6 will help greatly, get a muffler shop to bend you a nice peice of pipe, route it all the way down towards the asphalt. get a conical filter and have it positioned in the front bumper. (like where the intercooler is on a 1.8T but just put the filter on the passenger side instead) go out and buy a Mustang 3.00" MAF unit and you got your self 8-10 Real Horsepower.

 

i heard the K&N filters dont add horsepower. For $60 its a watse i think unless u need a new filter. you dont gain any horsepower from them

 

I completely disagree with you. There is a whole forum of 12V's who will disagree with you too. The only thing worth it is a ram air intake.

 

so how much horsepower can you get out of a 12v 2.8L with everything you guys told me to do ???

 

That's not an easy question. Depends on a lot of variables (altitude, temp, etc). I could give you an arbitrary number, but it would not mean a lot. I'd say you would be lucky to get much over 230hp.
