ok, ive been asking about mods and you guys have been helpful, so maybe yall can help. im thinking about putting a different engine into my 96 3.2 tl, so are there any newer engines that could be put into my car, most likly not right? Ok, then what newer engines that have more aftermarket upgrades could fit intoo my car size wise, even if there would have to be some moving of parts and maybe some cutting. Any info would be nice, and right now im just looking for options so price is not a concern at the moment.

thnak you yogi

 

With Time and Money... any engine can be put into any car... with that said...

If you want an engine that will swap into the 3.2 that would be a Legend Engine... Type I (currently in the 3.2) Type II (Members Cornflake & Mega Ken has done the swap) Type III 3.5 Engine...

Like i said above... Ken and Cornflake will tell you about the Type II swap... Thats as much info i can give... Good luck with the swap... Keep us updated

Buy the 3.5 block from the 1996-2004 RL (or stroke your engine to 3.5 liters)

Take the Type II heads from a Legend LS coupe or GS sedan

Port, polish

Cold air intake (remove intake resonator)

free flowing exhaust


That'll set you back a couple thousand, but it'll make about 250 hp and 240 pounds of torque (conservatively measured)

 

out of curiosity, anything for 2.5?

 

would it be possible to install a fan in the intake and power that fan by a belt from an engine?
can you have too much air running into an engine?

 

ah, just figured it out.. that will be limited by the capability of the filter.. that's why on a turbo the air runs from an exhaust..
well, that brings another question.. isn't the air from exhaust dirty? or the engine doesn't care..

 

i once saw a pic of a 1st gen with a type S engine swap... i dunno if it was a ps or not.. cause that is lots of money... our engines are mounted diff and the tranny is a 5spd vs 4sp auto... but i remember seeing the pic.. .imagine u can have a 1st gen type s

 

Was the pic on here??

That would be an incredible amount of work.. everything would be customized..

IMO, not work it.

 

so how much custom work would have tobe done for the newer 3.5rl engine to be put in?

 

ken are you in the military?

 

I was in the Navy.

 

You'd have to remove entire engine, swap in the 3.5 version.

The transmissions are the same, so that helps a great deal.

 

Newer as in the 99-04 or the 2005?



If you're talking about the J35 in the 2005 RL, then it will be very cheap to swap.

Making a custom turbo setup would be more logical and cheaper. The fan in the intake route is ghetto. Basically a wannabe supercharger, but with no benefits.



Yes..you can have too much air coming into the engine. This is very bad, and also called running lean. You don't want that. Engine failure can be at risk. If there was no such thing as too much air, those guys with the turbos would already be pushing infinite cfm of air

 

Either way, the turbo will still induce the air in the engine. The exhaust doesn't go back into the engine (otherwise we wouldn't need an exhaust system to let out the exhaust gas). The exhaust gas is used to turn the turbine on the turbo, which on the other end of the turbo will pull air in.


The exhaust gas is dirty. If you don't believe me, you're more than welcome to put your face into it and sniff the jebus out of it. The engine does care if the air is clean or not. It's the reason why we have air filters.

 

with GSteg... The main reason for this is that with more air going in you need more fuel to go in as well... with more fuel there is a larger combustion in your cylinders... making your heads move faster... but to much combustion can blow your engine thus more air and fuel mixture = more exhaust = Needs more room... and too much means BOOM...
