Q1: i have a 2.8 camaro and it has the maf unit i was wanting to swap to a 3.1 map unit ecm,wiring ect, just wondering is there a better advantage to a map than a maf as in tuning wise with no restriction on the dumb sensor?


Q2: no on the 2.8 TB iwas wonder if theres a way that a machine shop can bore out my TB with one hole insted of two almost like the performance fiero TB but i call a Fiero Distributor in cali they said its the as a firebird just that the plenum sits sideways but it would bolt up to a fbody 2.8 just wondering if anyone has done it??


Q3:now on the edlebrock 2v intake i cant seem to find out if it just for carbs or can i put my plenum on it still anyone know?

 

2.8L ouch..
Are you trying to get more power out of the 2.8?
I had a 2.8 in my 84 Camaro, and it ran like a rock.
Replaced it with a free 403, lots of work, but was fun to drive after that.

Sorry I don't have any advice on how to give a 2.8 more power except for change the engine.

If you decide to build the 2.8, I would love to hear how it turns out for you in the end.
I guess I really wonder is, how much power can you make with a 2.8L.

 

well far as i herd was around 400hp to be honest with a chip and headers yah know the works cam,lifters,thermo every thing you can possible do with 60 trim turbo when i talked to a guy at night under fire norwalk raceway car builder now i dunno if that was twin or single i didnt ask he didnt mention but im thinking twin but damn that big of a turbo 60 trim you would think it would blow out the bottom ?? but i believed him he raced a drag car and build cars yah know so thinkin maybe so0 but damn can u emagine to have under a hood a tiny *** 2.8 with viper power almost geeze would be tight but not for most of us i cant really believe it but only some know

 

not trying to start anything, but why did you post if you dont give advise on the 2.8?


onto the original questions:

Q1: yes a map system is much better for tuning.

Q2: not sure i completely get what youre asking? your TB has only one hole, so if youre asking if it can be bored out, yes with a custom valve made for the OS bore. but there are lots of other restrictions to overcome before the TB.

Q3: carb only. if you look at the top of it, its only got a big opening, it doesnt have each runner for the fuel injection, and the plenum wouldnt bolt to it anyway.

 

412/467 hp/tq with a 3.1
so the 2.8 would be slightly less power,i made 225hp with a n/a 2.8 but never dynoed it with the turbo

 

The 2.8 can make a decent amount of power but I would assume there would have to be alot internal mods rather than just bolt-on parts... Some of which may or may not work with the 3.1.

 

just about all the bolt ons for the 2.8 will work with the 3.1. i actually cant think of any that wont bolt onto the 3.1 right now. rockers, cam, UD pulley, t-stat, headers, valves, springs, pretty much anything that will go onto the 3.1, will go onto the 2.8. the only difference between the two was the stroke and from MAF to SD.

 

If I could understand the questions and subsiquent posts for the OP, I might be able to answer them.
