i was wondering if you could take the Twin turbos from a 2.7L and apply them to a 2.8L

how much work would this entail or are there better options out there for horsepower

 

[bhb399mm]

no

 

[NDspeed]

why not?

 

[bhb399mm]

because its a completly different engine.. you would need to basically rebuild the entire thing to add turbos.

it would be much easier (and probably much less money) to sell the 2.8 and buy a 2.7t S4

thanks i had found a pair of twin turbos on Ebay and was wondering if it was feasible

 

[bhb399mm]

well.. anything is possible... it probably could be done .. but it wouldnt be worth your time... you'd be better off finding a 2.7t and doing a swap.. or just buying an S4

well i also own a 98 2.8l and was wondering where and how much it would cost to buy and swap a 2.7T because i am really interested in doing this>

theres no point in engine swaps for audi
this aint no honda, where you just which te D16 for like a B18 alrite

u can always supercharge a 2.8

 

[mandoh]

u are absoulutly write but i don't really have $5,000 to spend on a supercharger, and if i can get an s4 engine for less then that y not do it? but u r rite this is no honda i do realize i would have to also change major components of the car but if it can be done y not do it!

a used S4 Biturbo engine is about 3000-4500 depending on milage and condition
i wonder how the install will be

 

[mandoh]

found an s4 biturbo engine with 34,000mi. but the car was recked from the rear. it was a 2.7lbi and it was going for $3,000. my mechanic said he would do the swap for 2,500-3000 depending on wat i need. so i would rather get the swap done and get the same amount of power than having 94,000mi. with a pes supercharger. but the thing is if i got a swap i would want to also convert the tranny to a 6spd so u r rite i should just look for an s4. if u no any s4's for sale anywhere from 12000-15,000 please let me no!
thanx

Quoted post​

I dont know much bout the audi motors and I assumed that the 2.7 was just a 2.8 whith thicker head gaskets or perhaps lower compression pistons. if that is the case then couldnt you just have thicker head gaskets made and put on the 2.8 to lower the comp to accomodate the turbos?
Or are you saying that the block, crank and every other thing is different and completely dissimilar to the 2.8?
because if the headers and manifolds bolt to the 2.8 than a little math and $ could make the the bi's work.
I am only asking cuz I was thinking about the same thing.

First off let me just clarify something, you can put a bi-turbo system on a 2.8, but it will take alot of work to do and a lot of modifactions to the engine bay. Second if you were to but a 2.7T the you would have to replace your entire front suspension cause of the room needed for the turbos, as well as some engine bay modifaction. Both can be done but they will be very expensive and something that you will have to have done professionally.
