who else on here really wants a diff motor , i don't personally care for our motor or tranny and its geared a lil low . but anyways im over 102.000 miles and im thinking about looking for an eco tec motor soon. i dont really have a q just figured everyone could chime in
Still interested in doing either a Forenza 2.0L Swap or a Cobalt 2.2L Swap... Old Lady just wants us to wait for a house first lol...

yeah, someone said that the ecotec swap is a 6k swap....the same as if you were to swap a K20 in an EK civic, lol
ha except hasport has everything made for the k20 into a civic plus kpro for the computer, where as ecotec 2.2 swap is gonna be a nightmare because our cars a daewoo product while the ecotec is chevy plus the wiring night mare plus everything will have to be custom
here is a VERY brief list of what will bolt in without changing the tranny if you wanted.
87-93 Pontiac Lemans 1.6 and 2.0 SOHC
87-94 Pontiac Sunbird 2.0 SOHC (turbo and non-turbo)
87-9? Chevy Cavalier 2.0 SOHC
80-CURRENT Vauxhall Astra 1.6,1.8 and 2.0 SOHC and DOHC (turbo and non-turbo)
80-CURRENT Opel Kadett/Astra 1.6,1.8 and 2.0 SOHC and DOHC (turbo and non-turbo)
Actually nearly every Opel or Vauxhall will bolt up including the V6 DOHC motors
08 Saturn Astra 1.8VVT DOHC
98-03 Daewoo Lanos 1.6 DOHC
98-03 Daewoo Leganza 2.2 DOHC
98-03 Daewoo Nubira 2.0 DOHC
04-08 Suzuki Forenza 2.0 DOHC
04-08 Suzuki Reno 2.0 DOHC
98 Isuzu Rodeo & Amigo 2.2 DOHC
i think if you improvise it will only take 2500 dollars the ecotec motors can be found cheap and i think its a little easier than everyone on here is saying it is
The crossmembers are different and the motor mounts are in different locations.
To do the EcoTec Swap, You need:
* Aveo Body
* Ecotec Motor, Tranny, Wiring Harness, and ECU ($1000 for all)
* Custom Crossmember
* Custom Motor Mounts
* Custom Wiring Harness (to get Aveo to mesh with Cobalt wiring)
* Custom Axles (the Cobalt Axles won't bolt to the Aveo Hubs)
Unless you have access to all your own stuff, it gets expensive with getting the motor to sit in there...
+1 and xtreme simplified the list for you. once you got into it I'm sure there is a lot more to take into consideration.
is there even room
how will shift linkage be affected
like he said, you will need custome axles but will the trnny even line up with the steering nuckles
i'm sure there is even more than this.
i have come accustom to the 60*v6's like my brother. hes doing a 3500 swap into his fiero GT. and the numbers are good for what he has done. this is just an idea, but a 3500 with all his mods in a lil lightweight car like the aveo would make that thing quick.
It's something I've been looking into :wink:Quote:

ok, back to topic. it looks like a 60* v6 is the biggest you can fit in that engine bay. maaayybe the caddi 3.9 with the variable runners. that might even be too tall. or go back to the old iron heads block and stick a fiero intake manifold on there too :)
eh, you can fit any motor... if you cut out the back and make it MR :evil:
We've been wanting to cut out the trunk and fit a FWD Motor/Tranny to the rear wheels for a while...
shoot, ive been having a hell of a time finding one thats already done like that. 86-88 fiero gt. thats the way to go. if your lucky and come across a 2nd gen mr2 for a decent price, then damn you and have a blast
86-88 Fiero, then clone it into a Ferrari or Lambourghini
