This spring, I will be refreshing my 30v 2.8. New vacuum lines, sensors where needed, all top end gaskets besides head gaskets. Assuming I'm starting with a healthy motor, Somebody tell me why the below is a bad idea for 2015.
-2.7t exhaust manifolds
-2.7t intake manfold
-2.7t intake y shaped piping
- Aftermarket front mount air to air intercooler
- k03 stock replacements (or rebuild a used set)
-proper oil feed/return lines tapped into oil pan
All of this tuned by someone for 93 octane and 7-8lbs of boost.
My reasoning behind this, is I would not like to pull the motor until I find another car to drive. The down time would be a few weeks, but it is a lot better than attempting a swap. The 2.8 block has 2 bolt mains, and no coolant routing. Assuming the tune was good, would this setup be safe? Eventually, I would pick up 2.7t shortblock and do the official swap, but for the mean time, I am not looking to make over 270 hp. Now is the time you flame me for being so young, and asking stupid questions. Thanks.
