2.8 power
#91
you can still intercool them and push more psi (it would have to be custom), but again the block isn't that strong anyways
never said it had anything to do with the compression, it has to do with the aluminum block and 2 bolt main. im sayin the supercharger kit will cost less (but also produce slightly less power)

You lose.
I cannot even fathom anyone believing this gibberish.
I believe I already did this but give me 5 minutes to do it again...

You know what? Yinz can have this thread. It's ok. Really. I'm sorry I know so little about Audis but I'm used to old school pushrod V8s. In fact I could always just **** everyone off, convert it to RWD, throw a small block V8 in it and say **** everyone. If a small block fits in a Focus and a Honda, it'll def. fit in an Audi.

I don't really care what you do as long as you don't take my advice, manipulate it, take it out of context misinterpret it and blame me when you **** something up.
Hows that for a legal disclaimer?

Hey, I never manipulated your advice. I was talking about small block V8s. I actually liked your advice until it turned into an argument with some *** you've probably never even met. I also simply asked if 2.7 and 2.8 internals were interchangeable, it was a simple yes/no question. Like I said, I'm used to talking about Chevy small blocks, where most of the internals are interchangeable.

The s/c kit costs 5 grand upfront. It's going to be 8-10 by the time you do the upgrades to get it up to ~10psi. It will produce significantly less power from the driveline losses incurred by the s/c. An MP62 will start drawing off a large amount of power, ~25-35hp, by the time you spin it up fast enough to make ~10psi. Also you will be way off the better efficiency islands on the compressor map and intercooled or not you will have a higher intake charge. This will require an even higher octane fuel to remain reliable.
A motor swap and subframe modification are no more difficult that a small time turbo kit?

20 bucks says you never even do this, and another 100 says its gona cost you more than 6 grand. so if you do end up doing this im gona laugh when you could of gotten twice the power and infinite more potential for a little bit more money.

I agree.
If you want 500hp. That motor is a better option.
If you want less than that it is a dumb idea to waste all that time and money on a motor swap.
ur a fvckin retard. a motor swap isn't hard at all. you keep blabbing about your skills and yet you cant do a simple motor swap that has already been done and already has all the parts you need to get it done. yet you can custom make the piping needed for your turbo setup and tune the sem? even if it is slightly harder its a way smarter idea.
If you have a welder already, which you would need for the subframe modification, then its going to cost $50 in materials for the up and down pipes.

And I estimated high on a lot of that stuff. Tuning is in there twice @ $600/day, etc. That should do as much as the block will hold.
cheaper than getting the same whp out of the PES s/c kit, cheaper than dropping in a new motor.
But if you want 500hp, then yes, go with a motor swap.
Or better yet go with a different car that you don't have to do a motor swap. Something with a pushrod v8 would be a really cheap place to go for 500hp on a nickel.

It won't be cheaper, but it may be easier.

lets see...10 grand for a motor swap. Or $3-400 to have an exhaust shop fab an up and down pipe for me? hmm......yes.....relatively the same.
