That's actually not even remotely close to what I said.

 

Hahahaa... this thread is hilarious. I skimmed through the whole thing and it kinda cracks me up. Make a long story short, there's a lot of idiots that talk about all the great things that can be done to the 2.8 engines but never have the ***** to try. There's plenty of threads of 2.8 passats and A4 being turbo'd. And they were all a big FAIL. Not cuz the outcome wasn't succesful, more because there are so many better and quicker ways of getting power. Not going into parts or pricing for my times sake but every 2.8 that has tried to make over 290 hp or go over 9-10psi has blown and needed to get rebuilt.

That's fantastic since I'm not talking about going over 9-10psi.

And, again, it's not about not having the ***** to try something. It's about money. If I had 3 or 4 grand burning a hole in my pocket I wouldn't be playing on the internet bench racing.

 

The 2.8 30v has been out for 10 years and you think you're the first genius to think of this? Its been thought and TRIED. You're not special

 

i was showing you what the engine was capable of. never said you had to run that. you said you could push just as much power out of the 2.8. which you can't.

seems like a huge waste of money for just 10psi. the supercharger would be waaaay cheaper and give similar results


no i never said that. but do you have a dyno lying around to tune it?

its a vr6 not a vr4, but thats beside the point. the reason you can do this is because vr6's are so common its not even funny. they placed them in so many different vw's and you can find them for 250 all day long. the 2.8 however is not that common of an engine, so people will pay more money for it. how well the engine performs has nothing to do with how much it costs. its how many of those engine's are out on the market. since you apparently know nothing of the vr6, you shouldn't talk like you do. or you end up sounding like an idiot.

and where do you think you are going to get this piping and manifold for your 2.8 project? the vr6 already has the manifold made for it, and you have WAY more room to place the turbo so all you have to do is fabricate a downpipe. thats a LOT easier than making your own manifold, and custom piping to stick on the stock 2.8.

never said it wouldn't. and nobody is bench racing. im just trying to give you a better alternative. take my advice or dont, i really couldn't give a ****

lmao. most the cars it beat cost way more than that whole project.

there are plenty of audi guys running 25psi daily on their BT'd a4's with no problems, and i've seen a few in person. i even run mine at 25psi daily (tho i have a smaller turbo than them). and i actually have done projects like this already so dont make assumptions about me either. but i see no point in needing to brag or validate myself to you, so im not about to talk about them.


have fun with your ridiculously overpriced project that will produce mediocre results and have little potential to ever achieve more. i hear that what all the smart guys choose to do too

 

From the looks of those pics, he has a 12v, not a 30v.

 

I noticed that... I was hoping he wasn't talking bout his own 2.8

I actually have a 30v, onepoint8tee, and I really do want to do this, just for the sake of doing it. For all others out there, I may be a bit of a dreamer, but I'm sure as hell not an idiot. Idiots pump avgas into their stock motor, clog the injectors and blow the damn thing sky high. I just enjoy pushing the envelope. I never said it was going to work but I do like SuperSquid's posts, it gives me a feel for how much I'll be putting into this car. If I can I'm going to try to get a job on my base as a tech in my MOS. It's full time 25-30 bucks an hour, which should give me plenty to pump into this project. I also plan on doing ALL my homework on this motor and in particular the block itself so I can see whether it would be more beneficial to run N/A or F/I. Again, for all the naysayers out there; do the world a favor and go kill yourselves. If I wanted this to be easy I'd say **** it and go buy a 1.8T or drop a chevy 350 into my current ride. Hell, if I wanted to make it even easier I'd get a Cummins and pump 110 psi through it w/o even touching the stock studs.It's the challenge of it, the pure engineering challenge that drives me. The thought of making this motor do what very few could and even fewer said was possible. O, and I think I'm going to leave it looking bone stock, ya know, just make even more jaws drop.

 

SuperSquid, where are you located? In about a year or so I wanna get together with you and bounce ideas and make something happen.
