[burner799]

wow. solid questions there.

try search. then find out how expensive and pointless it is and swap a 2.7t vr6t or buy a s4 or 1.8tqm. sorry to be rude but theres about 50 other threads just like this one. buy a pes supercharger. set it to 7psi. thats about all you can do besides basic bolt ons without spending more money than the car is worth.

First you have to mod your water fluid reservior so that you can use the high octane nos vtec fluid... Everyone ones once you have VTEC who needs boost!!!

anything is possible with enough $$$$$$$$.

Cost effective? NO
Smart? NO

I believe you should use the SEARCH button to your advantage from now on. Since there is some dude every week asking "can i turbo a 2.8?"

I am so tired of seeing the same answers in everyone of these threads.

Now, given the way the thread was asked/created was rather stupid, it still doesn't deserve all of the hate that the 2.8 turbo idea gets.

Cost effectiveness -- everyone always says that it is not cost effective, but um, it's not cost effective to put 10,000 in a 1.8T either. Nine times out of ten, the money you put in your car, you won't get more than a quarter of it back, it's not about the cost, it's about modding and the love of that.

Turboing a 2.8 is not as ridiculous as everyone makes it sound, it can be done rather easily if you have some knowledge and mechanical ability. It just takes some thinking outside of the box, and some custom lines/manifolds etc. Just because there isn't a kit for it doesn't mean it can't be done.

Only problem to be ran in to is the mains in the bottom end from what I have seen/heard from most engine builders. I wouldn't foresee anyone running 40psi on this motor, even when built, but I mean 15 psi with some pistons and rods could make for a fun car that would/should eat most BT 1.8T's. (Let's not turn this into a argument 1.8T owners)

I say do it, I pretty much have all of the parts mapped out that I will need, and have had a few conversations with Integrated and 034.

P.S. I say go single turbo GT35R. 500whp could be had for less than taking all other's advice of just buying a stock S4.

^^^ I thought it was because it hard to get a custom tune to work properly
