And one of the first ponies out of the stable is this classic, Camaro RS with a brand-new, bhp Corvette Z06 engine stuffed inside. Power, needless to say, is sent to the rear wheels. Because SEMA. On the outside, the new, Camaro makes its mark on the classic RS, thanks to the new blue paintjob and LED head- and taillights.
Are resto-mod cars, like the gorgeous Porsche by Singer , just the best, or would you rather have an old car with all its originals intact?
Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. I would personally do an LFX swap. Find More Posts by Lil' Nasty. Instead if you want V8 power out the V6 I would say put a turbo on and for the money it should get you close.
So I don't want to thread jack here but the two of you mentioned that you have V6 and they both needed engines at K. It might be helpful to some folks here. I have an V8, so its not for me. I would have to agree on staying with the V6 rather then trying to do the swap.
A lot of extra costs!!. There are many causes of premature wear and engine failure in all GDI engines. First, the most common is the pre cars where there was no low oil level warning light.
As most of these consume oil, it is far too common to see the owner never, or rarely check oil on the dip stick, so until the low oil pressure warning displays, they have no idea they have been driving with little oil. This alone results in rod bearing failure most common and wear throughout. Next, most run the dealer pushed Dexos synthetic blend. Don;t get me wrong, this is a great oil and the Dexos standard is a pretty strict standard, but as these engines are GDI, and not port injection, the amount of wear causing contaminates that enter the crankcase and mix with the oil are many times what the old port injection engine shad to deal with, so a full synthetic is critical yet you will see many examples of those that have run the blend and are still going strong, this is an overview in general.
Wear to the timing chains and related components is accelerated due to this contamination and dilution of the oil. Why is this different than a port injection engine? First, we look at the fueling. Port injection operated at PSI and as all engines have some blow-by, raw fuel is one of the compounds entering the crankcase. GDI engines not only operate at 2,, PSI when introducing the fuel to overcome the extreme cylinder pressures, but also have much higher compression ratio's than in the past Then we have to look at the combustion by-products.
Old port injection engines produce a "soft" carbon that does little damage But GDI forms large hard baked on crystalline deposits that wen particles shed, are almost as abrasive as sand, so that is causing wear not seen before nearly from the start. The oil filters can only trap down to microns on most cases, so most of this abrasive particulate matter is staying in the engine oil, along with the high amounts of fuel diluting the oil, so increased wear is the result.
We only have to look at how GM and others have dropped engine warranties on all GDI engines from , miles a few years ago down to , and not 36, miles because of the increased wear and shorter lives these engines have. So, what can the owners do to prevent this? Always drain that factory oil from the engine no longer than miles when new to remove all of the assy debris and wear particles from break-in.
In our studies, we compare GM 3. This is the the only way to remove most of these contaminants and wear causing compounds. Run top tier fuel, and if a V6, run octane to reduce knock retard.
These are high compression engines! Now the fuel has ZERO effect on valve coking as no fuel touches the valves backsides any longer, but it is more critical now than ever to keep injectors clean. Eldon answered 9 months ago. I have a Camaro basic and a camaro I wanted to know if I could take the tuned port engine out of the 91 and put it in the I have an old z28 5.
Would I be able to buy an older dodge challenger or charger, maybe even a camero and put the old engine in? Review another car.
