Aveo 2.0L Turbocharged

[byron84]

sounds like a hell of a project, but i'm sure you feel the results every time you drive your car, compared to a stock aveo

The final piece of the puzzle arrived in the mail this morning, 4 DSM 450cc "Bluetop" injectors

Install starts tomorow.

=D> good luck with the install
you already have us all jealous with the 2.0 swap

Day went a little slower then I hoped it would. I had to run to the store several times but hey hickups happen when doing a project like this!

- Front bumber removed
- Air Conditionner radiator removed (Don't have A/C anymore)
- Intercooler installed
- Charge piping from throttle body to intercooler installed
- Cat and downpipe removed, exhaust cut right behind flex pipe
- Oil pan removed, tapped for oil return and reinstalled

Little accident happened to me, while cutting up the front bumber, the grinder cutting disk snapped in 3, one piece hit my legs and I barely felt it, one other piece flew off somewhere and the 3rd piece hit my left forearm full force right behind the wrist! I gotta say thank god I was wearing my cotton vest, which has loose enough sleeves that it slowed the shrapnel down quite a bit but it still hurt me pretty bad, felt like my arm had been hit by a sledge hammer and broken in 2. Also punctured a small hole the size of a pencil lead in my arm, god knows how deep but holy crap that hurt! I got lucky.. No more grinders lol

On to pics now, enjoy!

Lookin good so far!

Please post some pics of your modified manifold. Just curious as to how it was done.

[trempus]

so what are you using for manifold?

[serega12]

awsome work man! and about manifold, youre saying you can stay with original one?

[Nemasys]

Yes the original one, everything is done and the car is running boosted now, but i really need a new motor, the crank seal is pissing oil like crazy and i blew the headgasket last night lol

The new motor will have a stronger and thicker headgasket installed.

Crazy busy trying to finish all this, so ill have to snap pics when im done swapping in the new motor and post them up.

Ohh btw, 1st and 2nd gear.. absolutely no traction lol its amazing BOOST FOR THE WIN!!

, so ill have to snap pics when im done swapping in the new motor and post them up.

Better yet, snap some pics WHILE swapping, that way we can all see the progress when you're done. Might be very useful for those of us who will decide to go your route down the road.

Thats kinda useless as I already have everything done and ready to simply drop in a new 2.0 motor, even if I took pics it would be like like if you were swapping your 1.6 for another 1.6

I will take pics of what im going to do to the new 2.0 tho, MLS headgasket, ARP headstuds and a carbon kevlar performance clutch.
