God dammit phil.

Go to your front door, walk out to the sidewalk and hold up a sign that says "What's 034?". It will only take about a minute before your face gets slapped with trophies, research and performance secks.

 

lol...

 

ok wtf would i care about performance companies that make NOTHING for my motor?

 

>:O NOTHING!?

Go search!

 

i did search, im not planning on doing a longitudal vr6t swap.. remember im FWD idc about performance lol

 

speaking of boring out. Is it possible to bore out the 2.8 to 3.0 to get the same output as the B6 3.0?

 

I'd assume so. But who bores a 2.8? Isn't that engine for women and FWD homos? :P

 

Yes you could, you could also change the CR during that time. Maybe do some cams and even get the car custom tuned, well as long as its not a 12v lol

 

First of all, I am a GM V8 fan first and foremost, so I have a few points to make. First, I assume you're talking about the old small block 350? Those are crap. Yes, there are FAST cars that really built them up. But anyone who builds one up these days (or ever since the release of the LS series, if not the LT series) is an idiot because those engines are old and so much less efficient and should never be used.

Yes, the LS series engines are heavier than the VAG 1.8. Obviously. And yes, it will make an already severely nose-heavy car even worse, but it's in the same boat with the VAG 4.2 v8 and I bet the LS series will be more reliable, and they are definitely easier to work on. Of course, they'd also be much more work to swap into an Audi. And I'd be surprised if it could work with Quattro, which would be a huge loss.

As for the power vs BT 1.8, perhaps, but the LS series will kill you in low-end power and if you're talking custom turbo then you can do that to the Chevy as well and get to areas untouchable by the 1.8. There's no replacement for displacement.

That having been said, I wouldn't recommend an LS swap. I do, however, recommend said swap for a Miata. That or the new LLT 3.6L direct injected v6. AWESOME engine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_High_Feature_engine

 

dragon rage the 4.8 v8 is lighter than the 2.8 v6
