Engine Swaps For Aveo ?

[Wolfman AK907]

If only the shipping wasn't that expensive, I'd buy this right here and swap everything over to my Aveo:

Just drop in a 600hp power plant...

That engine would probably cost more than an aveo. :P

It’s only money…..
My friend Rob owns a yellow ZO6, and god it’s fast. It’s the closed I’ve ever come to driving a true race car.
I know my Aveo will never be anything like a Vet. and I'd be nuts to want to put that kind of money into a car that only costed me $10,000 new. I have my BMW R60/7 for those days I want to fly or I'll just take my friend Vet out. I love my Aveo for what it is and yes I have put money into it, but the engine will stay the way it is.

i just want to mod the engine a bit, ntohing too extreme though

Adding a few boltons is cool, but to wripe out a good motor just for a few HP it's not worth it for the Aveo. Ok, if your engine is shot and your going to replace it, then why not put a better engine in. My Honda buddy has done so many engine swaps and up grades, there's thousands invested in his car and if he sells it he'll get 4 to 5 grand if he's lucky.

I'm with larsbud on this one. Unless my engine is shot I'm not planning on replacing it for now.

hey ima sound like a mupet, but i dont know too much about engine swapping as ive never done or tried anything on that side of the scale.

is the c20xe reallly that good for the kalos/aveo. i currently have a kalos and after all my exterior and interior mods set to finish around september latest i obv wana go faster.

so my question is that will the c20xe ORR the x20xe jus slot in to the original engine mounts in the kalos 04? and will i need a new gear box. my current gear box in my kalos is an auto and its gone..
im a bit of a... silly driver tried to drift a bit too much and shifting it in to nutrl to get the revs up kindaaa didnt help..

which is beter also out of the available engines the SLOT in to the original mounts without any fab. seen a few projects that people have just sloted in engines...

ive been quoted around £1,200+vat GBP for a reconditioned gear box and 2 years warrenty.. so rather than pay that id prefer to put a bit on top.. convert to manul with the c20xe engine and suitable MANUAL gear box..

which i think would b MUCH more cost efficnt as i was gona spend around 2k just on engine upgrades. cams, under drive pulley, new valvs, the lot.. this way i can just turbo the c20xe.. right..? and do those mods on it
