Engine Replacement 698Gt-A

[Sean Raynor]

I am wanting to replace my stock 2006 Na engine with an atomic 698gt-a Complete engine.

http://atomicperform...a_complete.html

Just wondering what else will need to be done to support the 450Kw it will produce and how much it would cost all up.

So your doing a turbo conversion as well then im assuming? Would probably be cheaper to sell the xr6 and buy an xr6t and do what you want to that.... Unless you have another 10g-15g to spend on top of the 698?

[Sean Raynor]

Correct me if I am wrong but I remember reading that the 2006 bottom end was the same as the turbo's bottom end. so you take the engine out and you have the same car.

Fuel system

Turbo

Stage 3 cooler + intake from PW, PLaz etc..

Big exhaust

Tranny upgrade/strengthen/clutch

prob missed other stuff.. but a lot of $$

[bionicxr6t05]

Not for n/a's, 06/06 they changed to stronger rods in the turbos only I believe... And still you have no turbo and n/as have IMRC which needs to be deleted etc etc its doable for sure though, but $$$ at least if you start with a turbo theres less mucking around and youl have some parts to sell to recoup costs

I WOULD NOT bother selling your car and buying an xr6t.

You would be throwing most stock components away anyway.

Turbo selection is up to you, want a lazy 450 or T04z style huffer spooling it's tits off.

You'll need basically all supporting mods. Exhaust, cooler, fuel system, and a suitable gearbox.

I'm with henz. Sell your car and buy a turbo if you want to throw money away.

Not that hard to find a PCM and change a few looms. You has an option in turbo/gearbox etc. m86 isn't that exy either. You will need to rebuild the zf at 450 in a new t anyway.

[bionicxr6t05]

Yeh I guess Theres not much difference really but will need another 10-15 spent on top after the 698... Say gtx3582r 2k, good cooler kit and intake 2k, plenum 1.5k, fuel system 2.5k exhaust 2k, exhaust manifold 500- 2k depending on whats used... Custom tuning 1500 ish including flash box and all this isnt including gearbox mods and drivetrain mods and brake mods....

Wouldn't you need to replace ECU/Wiring looms in a N/A?

EDIT. Didn't see paulies post.

That 10-15k will be also spent on a stock t to get to 450 on 98
