And the reason why i wouldn't make my Engine BiTurbo'd is because the 2.8 engines arn't ment to handle much boost. It would just blow i would need to change the pistons and everything. So in reality that would be more of a pain in the *** to boost it the way i would want.

But I am GUN HO for it so ill eventually start looking. I will want to pay my car off first, but if i find a low milage s4 then hey ill find the funds to get it.
post says taking hte plunge. implies iminent. saying you're gonna do this following by i gotta pay off my car first or maybe find an engine. what a tease. thought you had one lined up and actually were doing something. planning is planning. but like in a sale, i'm interseted means nothing til you pull out the cash. this was fun, let us know when you have an engine.

for the record, i support you hobby choice and want to see you do it. but do it.

I'll bet $20, how big is the pot now? someone has to bet for him too, or is he just going to pay us.
Hey dude, if enough of us bet you and you do pull it off, you could come out ahead.

And i would not need another daily driver. If i bought the totaled s4 i would take that engine out. Work on that one when im ready to swap i will take my engine out. That will be a couple days if not even one day without a car. So there is no need for a second car.
if you think you're going to swap EVERYTHING over onto your car in one or two days, you're dreaming. not to mention the fact that once this engine is swapped in, it's going to take you a while to iron out all the kinks and chase all the bugs that you'll inevitably run into. it'll be a while before that car is reliable, if ever.

having said that, best of luck to you.
